I've heard about baby aspirin - I believe you take 75mg per day from getting a positive test until around 12 weeks but don't quote me as I'm going on memory from a friend trying it (successfully). I think it solves one of the most common solutions to recurrent miscarriages, it's called "sticky bloody syndrome" in Layman's terms but can't remember the medical name.Well I’m back. Finally stopped bleeding after my chemical pregnancy. Ready to get back to ttc. I had my moments of “I’m done. I’m giving up” etc but nope. I’m ready now. We will get our baby!!
Started switching up to different vitamins now, I’ve read a lot about low vitamin d can cause miscarriages and we’ll I’ve been stuck indoors for months due to lockdown so I’m upping my dosage on them too.
anyone here use baby aspirin? I’ve heard good thing. When do you start taking it? Etc.
good luck all

Hiya I am TTC after 3 miscarriages. It’s heartbreaking as I never thought it would happen to me.
We are trying again but during this lockdown it’s very hard as your whole mind focuses on period, then fertile window, then the two week wait. All you do is wait. It becomes an obsession.
I was advised to do blood tests. Genetic testing etc. Turns out I have a blood condition hence why I am miscarrying.
My doctor has advised me that there are several things I need to do once I find out I’m pregnant and one of them is to take aspirin in the evening as soon as I find out I’m expecting and she will monitor me for 6 weeks to see how my body responds. My doctor has stated I may have to take all the medication including aspirin throughout the whole pregnancy.
I’m looking forward to the next step just it’s the first 12 weeks will be the hardest as I have a high risk of miscarrying.
Once I’m passed 12 weeks I will cry as I know it’s a miracle.
Anyways I think if your thinking about taking an aspirin speak to doctor. It’s better to be safe
)
Wishing all you ladies success in your journey I love this thread it really gives me hope.
And when I go stir crazy thinking am I pregnant or is it AF it makes me laugh as I realise I’m not the only crazy lady.
Love this thread a lot has given me lots of hope

My ovulation should've been around last Sunday. Today I'm feeling crampy and as if my period is preparing to come through. But my period isn't due till somewhere around the 21st.
I'm feeling conflicted, cause I want to be hopeful and think that maybe I'm feeling implantation, but then I think that might not be possible? Can you feel implantation? I'm so confused and tired
@Makeupaddict5 so sorry you had to go through all that. But good that they found the reason and that it's treatable!

Hi all,
I had my doctors app yesterday. The nurse who did my bloods was really lovely. I then went for another app and that nurse was really rude and made me feel stupid and I left feeling a bit tearful, which is a shame after I went in feeling positive.
I've got my day 21 bloods booked and another app to see that rude nurse for some swabs or something.
I have very light periods now, like 2 days max and there's not that much, never used to be like this. I will ask next time (not keen on asking the rude nurse!) as I see different answers online, some say it's fine others say it could be a problem! Anyone else have this?
Good luck all x

Have you had cramps like that before? I find I get cramps around my ovulation day. I never had it until recently as I was on the pill for years. It may be that?

Sorry you had a bad experience with the second nurse, it's a horrible feeling when you see a doctor/nurse who isn't very helpful! I hope you're feeling better now and more positive about the next tests.

Not really. That's mainly why I'm confused. We've been trying for over a year (although lost some months because I didn't know I have PCOS), but I've been quite regular since September/October last year thanks to the medication.
I have noticed Clomid made periods less painful for me, but I'm on Letrozole (cycle 2) now (apparently Clomid wasn't available anymore/temporarily). My body works well with Letrozole, but I have more cramps/pain around my period. So who knows what it is
All I know is that there was a nice looking egg ready to jump and that we've been keeping busy ever since (and god, my netherregions need a break
)Trying not to get too hopeful
Hang in there @Sunshingal!

@Sunshinegal- ive been tracking my periods for about a year using my fitbit app. My periods were at most 4 days (light), but mostly recently 2-3 days and hardly anything. I found out in January that im pregnant.
I was also worried about my light periods and what it might mean, but it turns out its all fine. Im hoping the same happens for you lovely xxxx

Thankyou. Id got over my period coming, felt positive, and then bam she made me feel awful. Talked to me like crap. Definately hope she isn't the one who tells people if there is something wrong! Dh said I should complain but I have to see her again in a couple of weeks but I'm prepared and ill tell her if she's rude again that there's no need for it! yes I'm feeling better thankyou
Thankyou and congratulations to you!
Can I ask how long you were trying?
Definately good to know that light periods aren't necessarily a bad thing.

We weren't trying for long as it happens. I had expected it to take a year etc. Im not a big drinker and had cut back on caffeine for a little while. (i cant think of anything else we did in the run up to trying). I think we 100% got lucky. Im 7 weeks currently and feeling good (which makes me worry at times). I still check for blood when i go to the toilet.
I really hope it happens for you soon xxx

Hey girls, hope you're all ok. I have a question. I did a pregnancy test 2 days ago (AF due this sat) and had the faintest of lines but there was deffo something, so I did it again yesterday and nothing. I have one digital CB left and didn't want to waste it just yet. I read that OPKs can sometimes read it too so I did one and got this...what do you think?
Attachments
I had a darker OPK before a positive pregnancy test, but apparently you can also get a darker result before your period due to hormones spiking. I would wait until as close to Saturday as you can before testing again x

For you. I would try your best to wait until sat when your period is due. I know that’s easier said than done .I hope you don’t mind me joining this post.
I have a 7 year old son and have been with my partner for nearly 2 years.
We have probably been trying for a baby for approx a year. Last July we both had fertility tests which came back fine and the doctor even said I wouldn’t be surprised if you was pregnant in 3-6 months but nothing has happened. I think I just struggle as my sister in law is pregnant and my next door neighbour and babies etc seem to be on every tv program.
I was in an abusive relationship when I had my son and don’t remember/blocked out a lot of his early childhood and I feel like that this is some sort of karma for not being a good mum to him. I don’t have all those happy memories from his birth etc and it just makes me feel sad. I also struggled a lot with my own health after he was born and ended up very anaemic and used to bleed heavily it just makes me feel like I don’t deserve to have another child.

Nothing that happened to you was your fault and it certainly doesn't make you a bad mum. The fact that you're worried as much as you are and were able to carry on through an abusive relationship and poor health is testament to you being strong and being a good mum. Please don't blame yourself, your little boy is lucky to have you. TTC is hard but since your tests were all fine it should happen for you eventually, it's just tough waiting!
Thank you, I guess I just blame myself for the situations I was in and often think if I could turn back time I would do so many things differently. Good luck to everyone ttc. I guess also in our minds when we want something we analyse things more and also seem to notice more of what we miss or want around us.

That's the benefit of hindsight isn't it! Yes it's so easy to fixate on TTC, especially with lockdown and few other distractions. I find myself panicking about the silliest of things - "will I stop myself conceiving if I have a takeaway instead of a healthy dinner?" Honestly

Ladies that have used ovulation strips, I just need a little advice I feel like even my control line is ridiculously light. Does this look normal or right?
Flo says I should ovulate on Saturday I don’t see it happening in the slightest though.
I went for an ultrasound yesterday and she was like a stone no inclination that everything looked right or not I just have to wait for the gp to call me

When I was using them, I didn’t get a gradual increase - just a sudden high result on my peak day. In the lead up to it I was wondering if I was actually going to ovulate because I assumed it would get higher and higher in the lead up.Ladies that have used ovulation strips, I just need a little advice I feel like even my control line is ridiculously light.

The control line on the bottom one does look light though. Which app are you using? I used Premom and you had to get the box with the lines right up close for it to be able to read it properly. I always took mine in the same place, same time and same lighting too which seemed to help
