Think there’s a shadow of a line and need to know to start meds - after many losses

I hope someone can help. I’m convinced there's a shadow of a line. I’ve had many losses and have been prescribed high dose prednisolone, progesterone, aspirin, clexan injection etc. as I have issues with NK cells. Most of my losses have been at a very early stage so it is time sensitive to start the meds; otherwise I’d just wait until I know for sure I’m pregnant. We cannot seem to get a decent pregnancy test. FRERs are nowhere to be found. DH is trying to get a boots 5 days early. I hate all the blue dye ones. Any other decent tests? I think a FRER might arrive from Amazon tomorrow but I’ve heard Amazon FRERs are dodgy. I don’t want to start that type of medication unnecessarily as it’s strong, progesterone messes with my cycle etc. But I’m also worried if I don’t ‘get in there’ early it will be another loss. Thought I saw a tiny shadow of line last night but it didn’t come up on a picture and I’m convinced today’s is noticeable (if you look closely). Any thoughts? What would you do?

That is so kind @Carportforme, thank you so much. Very much appreciated. It's really amazing how kind and supportive strangers on the internet can be 😍. I hope you're not affected by miscarriages yourself? x

You are very welcome and I love the camerardarie on here!
I have been affected by miscarriages myself, unfortunately. MMC last Autumn, found at 12 week scan. Huge shock, as you will appreciate, and then a Chemical a couple of months back. Not sure if I have just been very unlucky but for a variety of reasons I suspect a possible immune issue. Not tested for these yet though. It’s expensive!! Now on low dose aspirin from ovulation - self prescribed based on my own vast research - Will see what’s next. Keeping everything crossed for you.

@Carportforme oh I'm so sorry about your losses 😔. Yes auto immune testing and treatment is very expensive. Fingers crossed for you that aspirin does the trick 🤞🏻🤞🏻xx

Thank you and yes, I am praying the aspirin does the job., it's all very worrying but will just have to wait and see.

Hello, Not sure if anyone is still reading this thread but just thought I would say that I am now bleeding out from my second chemical/early miscarriage.
I started low-dose aspirin in the previous cycle so had been taking that for two cycles when I fell pregnant and was hoping for “and aspirin baby” but it seems to have made no difference at all. I’ve got an appointment with Dr Thum at the Lister next week I will see what he says. Hope you are all doing okay. I may see if you’re on other threads.

@Carportforme I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I don't come on mumsnet very often anymore. I really hope the appointment with the consultant goes well this week and hopefully they can provide some guidance for further steps. Sending much love ❤️
