Hi background - one child - 4.

Trying to conceive for last 3 years.
Previous 2x miscarriages in a row.
Newly diagnosed with PCOS & started on clomid.

Second month of taking and late period - tested today and have 5 positive tests.

Phoned gynae consultant and awaiting next steps. I also have low progesterone.

Anyone in a similar boat or had positive stories? I can't help but think this won't go my way again. I can't get excited or hopeful until I know it will be ok this time.

Sending hugs to everyone else out there ttc with difficulty.

Hi,

I literally could have written this post myself we have been TTC the same amount of time. I also have a 4 year old and was diagnosed with PCOS after my first miscarriage.

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant on my fourth round of clomid - Id taken a break in between cycles.

I got put on progesterone pessaries x2 a day from 5.5 weeks after an early scan confirming the location of the pregnancy - I would push for this it has given me so much reassurance.

I also had a follow up scan at 7 weeks.

I hope this all goes well for you ❤️ I'm also feel like I'm holding my breath until 12 weeks but each week feels like a milestone! X

Hello,

Ahh thanks so much for your message.

That's amazing news that you are 8 weeks. My last period for 4 weeks ago so it says I'd be about that. I was really hoping I'd get offered an early scan at some point just for some extra reassurance. Or I may go private for one as I do feel it would make me feel better.

Thank you so much and I wish so for you too❤️

Yes definitely see if they will scan you early, just to give you that reassurance and if you have known low progesterone then definitely start the conversation with the pessaries.

I hope these next few weeks go quickly and well for you so you can get out of the first trimester anxiety ❤️
