Hi! Just had a BFP after a MC at 8 weeks last year, and am looking for folks to breathe through the next few weeks with. I am in an age bracket where MC risk is high and I’m trying not to get ahead of myself!

Question , I've had a previous MC at 7 weeks and I'm now 5 weeks on this pregnancy took 2 years to get pregnant again. I was prescribed Cyclogest 400mg twice a day up until I'm 12 weeks. Is that sufficient? Should I be asking to take it until I'm 16 weeks ? I've just had a look at the Tommys PRISM trial as mentioned below.

@Senso21 I feel exxhhaauussttedd ! That hungover feeling is exactly how I describe pregnancy 😅 I'm 35 now so thinking age isn't helping....
@Bealilet huge good luck !!!

@LizzeyBenett Hi! I’m on it up until 16weeks but I’m under the care of Tommys. You can ask your doctor to use it till then if that’s what the Tommys guidance suggests - just show it to your doc. Best of luck x

@Boredinthehouse12 , I have been panicking because my symptoms have basically gone. I had a scan booked in for Thursday, but I just couldn’t cope today and the stress was making me worry more. It really doesn’t help when you google too 🙈 I ended up having a private scan today, again, and baby is fine! I’m actually measuring 2 days ahead now too. I thought I was 6w2d but now I don’t don’t if I’m 6w4d.

Agathapoirot · 22/10/2023 18:58

Glad all was okay for you. Have no you kept the scan on Thursday or will that put your mind at ease until the one the following week?

Jak803 · 22/10/2023 19:08

@Senso21 Also 7+4 and could have written this post. Living on rice cakes and 7up on the hour! 😄🤢

Tentatively joining you lovely ladies. Got my BFP on day AF was due & I’m currently 4w 3d. This will be DC#3 for us ❤️

Good to see you over here too @Catson & @VixFromThe6ix

Hi everyone, congratulations to all of those who have received their BFP and are due in June StarStar

I would like to join if that's ok, I finally received my BFP Friday evening.
After 2 years of trying and one miscarriage.

How is everyone feeling? Xx

Boredinthehouse12 · 22/10/2023 20:30

@Dani46 That must have been such a relief! Have you got anymore scans lined up or are you going to wait until 12 weeks?. I lost symptoms in both of my previous pregnancies. One ended up being a miscarriage and the other resulted in my now 18 month DD, so I guess symptoms don’t really define the outcome of a pregnancy. It’s such an anxiety inducing period but we have to hope for the best.

Dani46 · 22/10/2023 21:03

@Boredinthehouse12 I’ll end up having more 🙈 I think once I pass 9 weeks that will be good for me.
i think I’ll have one more private one on Thursday, this one was booked in before today. I all ready re arranged that one because I had an epu scan.
Ive got another epu scan on the 3rd November. I’ll try and wait until my 12 weeks scan after that,

Dani46 · 22/10/2023 21:05

It is so so scary! I wish I could enjoy these first 12 weeks.

mumsince2021 · 23/10/2023 07:06

I've got a 2-3 weeks on a digital today, a week after my first 2-3 weeks result so I'm feeling quite anxious that this might be another chemical. I was expecting the 3+ and got it with my last pregnancy by now 😔

CamdenQueen · 23/10/2023 09:14

Hi everyone, looking for advice on line progression and whether it’s even a thing. These are my tests, second two are cheapies. Sorry about quality it was hard not to get shadow in the dark this morning!

It feels like they are very faint for how far post ovulation I am. I have a digital one I am going to take tomorrow with week predictor so I’m hoping that’ll be clear cut. I’m really worried this is going to be a chemical 😔 has anyone had similar before and gone on to have a successful pregnancy?

Also, when do you go to your GP after finding out you’re pregnant? I’m 4w4days now, should I wait another week or two?

Due June 24?
Goldie1234 · 23/10/2023 09:35

Congrats @CamdenQueen ! Looks like good progression ! Can understand the worry of them being faint but it's a good sign they're getting darker. Mine were also faint, I'm just a few days ahead 22dpo.
You can call the GP now 👍🏽

CamdenQueen · 23/10/2023 09:54

@Goldie1234 thank you so much for the quick reply. I’m in work doing nothing but panicking!! That is really reassuring. I’m hoping the digital tomorrow will be a really clear PREGNANT so I can stop worrying. Congratulations on your pregnancy too 🙌🏻

Catson · 23/10/2023 11:06

@CamdenQueen you can't count the first one for line progression in comparison to the other two as they're different brands. The bottom two look great progression for 2 days to me

Dani46 · 23/10/2023 11:35

@mumsince2021 hope you’re ok, I won’t do a digital one for that reason! I’m petrified if it will tell me I’m 2-3 not the 3+. How many weeks are you now? I also wouldn’t worry about it x

Dani46 · 23/10/2023 11:36

@CamdenQueen there is definitely progression on them. X

SezP · 23/10/2023 11:47

Hi everyone! 5w+6 here and wondering if time could move any slower? Due sometime between 18 and 23 June (ovulation depending) which seems like a lifetime away. Occasional cramps giving me some small comfort that things are moving along but otherwise I couldn’t feel less pregnant if I tried. Except that it is weird how easily I can say no to wine right now. Hope everyone is feeling okay x

CamdenQueen · 23/10/2023 11:52

@Catson thats true I guess about the different brands.

I don’t know how I’m going to remain cool calm and collected for the next 4 weeks until scan 😬

DanisEndo · 23/10/2023 14:28

Hi everyone , excited to be able to join!!!! Got my BFP on Friday, tests are progressing, think I’m 5w4d and due between 20-28th June24. 28 with No.1 (first pregnancy ever). Going mad with excitement and already want to tell all the nearest and dearest. Just starting the self referral process to a hospital and already a touch overwhelmed with the amount of choices aha.

are you all telling people or keeping it to yourself until 12 weeks?

Due June 24?
KMM87 · 23/10/2023 14:28

@SezP I agree on the time going sooo slow. October is our quitest month at work too and I wfh so I’m just thinking about being pregnant all day every day 😩 it’s torturous! I can’t even enjoy the down time and read a book as my mind just wonders….

KMM87 · 23/10/2023 14:32

@DanisEndo Congratulations! Do you know much about the hospitals in your area?
I’m 5+3.I found out super early, did my self referral and have my booking appointment next week on the telephone at 6+4. I’ve also had my letter through for first scan on 12/12.

DanisEndo · 23/10/2023 14:50

@KMM87 thank you!!! Congrats to you too!!

my GP sent me a link to self refer in one hospital I’ve heard not so great things about, but we’ve done some Googling and are going to self refer to a different one which covers our area tonight.

omg that must be so exciting to have your scan date!!!! How long did it take between referring and getting your booking appointment in?
