Thanks everyone

ICs today are definitely fainter imo. FRER had obvious white indent which became less visible after a few minutes, so photos are at 10 minutes, which I think shows pretty clearly that at best there's an even fainter line, but I suspect that's my eyes from looking at so many lines.
I decided to discard my temps from 11dpo & 12dpo because both days I had about 2.5 hours sleep and I don't want to have unrealistic expectations when comparing charts later on. I was on autopilot and didn't think about their accuracy at first. So if I went with those my temp has dipped yesterday and today, discarding them it's kind of levelled out but it doesn't matter because if this was sticking then I would have a much clearer line today, I wouldn't have fainter lines.
Will attach photos, isn't much point but 13dpo ICs & FRER. Added a tweaked IC photo so I don't look completely crazy, it is there, but it's a lot fainter

Aww cupcake i do still see something on the frer. Sorry it doesnt seem to be progressing tho when are u due?

 

[happycupcake]

Tomorrow. It doesn't matter though because it should be darker than that, if that's even an actual line. Probably the indent

I'm sorry to hear about you having a hard time . I agree that the lines should be darker by now. I don't see anything on the frer. Sending u lots of baby dust for the next month .. how many dpo are you now? Maybe it's still early?

 

[happycupcake]

13dpo, Laila. Af due tomorrow so definitely should be an obvious line by this point. My IC at 7dpo was a lot more obvious than the IC today

I don't understand what's up I did see lines on the SD at around your 8dpo. It's twice now that those tests give u lines. I still see the lines on the iC's. Very very bizzare. The only explanation I have is a chemical bc even let's say the SD was faulty, the IC also showed lines so somewhere in your body at that time there must have been a trace of hcg. Sorry you are going through all this X

This has happened now in April, May and now this month, and I'm fairly certain there have been a couple of others as well some months ago. I am sure my hormones weren't balanced before but things seem to have improved now, my temps seem fine and I don't experience the degree of PMS I used to. So I don't understand why this keeps happening. I don't want to use progesterone because I'm sure hormones are ok now, and I don't want to mess that up. And I don't see any point if hormones are ok. So I don't know what the issue is

I had two early losses in a row. The next cycle I started myself on aspirin 75mg and so far have made it to almost 11 weeks.
I'm sorry, It's so heartbreaking.

I was going to try aspirin this time but I thought let's see, because I felt more positive. Were you advised to by a doctor or did you just try it after researching? I don't know when you start because there's so much conflicting info online, some say take it from the start of your cycle some say take it once you see a positive test, it's confusing!

Thank you. I'm ok though. Sort of. It's rubbish, but this happened for a reason

Since it's supposed to help with blood supply and make for a healthier uterine lining I always take it after O. I was taking it when I got my bfp first time so I'll keep taking it while I'm trying this time. The dose is so low it wouldn't do any harm to take it for a full cycle though.

 

[happycupcake]

Thanks, Sadako

xxxxx still hoping xx

If of any help, I was taking higher dose b vitamins, coq10 and Agnus castus to balance my peri menopausal symptoms since having DS3. I didn't actually do the progesterone this time until 6-7w and then only took it for 3 weeks. Previously I have done it from 7dpo.
Also, I have had success with clomid in the past (all 3 boys!) worth a go possibly? Xx

 

[happycupcake]

I haven't a clue what clomid is!
I haven't had any issue before, but I have had a few health problems since so I think my body has been trying to get back to some normality. Hopefully next time things will be different

 

[robo123]

So sorry to read all you are going through, you seem to handle it all so well. Fingers crossed for you xx

 

[GI_Jane]

I wasn't advised to take the aspirin by a health professional and I agree the info online is conflicting.
I waited until my af was almost over before I started taking one tablet a day.
I have been pregnant 6 times and have used aspirin for 2 of those pregnancies, one resulted in my son, the other I am 11 weeks so for me the evidence is overwhelming that it helps.

I made the midwife aware during my booking in and she was very supportive of my choice to take it and continue on with it.

 

[happycupcake]

Robo, thank you. It's rubbish, and I hate that this is happening but at the same time I know I am so fortunate to already have children. If this doesn't ever happen for us, then we have beautiful children that we are so grateful for, we are lucky to have them. I know many will be trying for their first and be having a much harder time than we are, there's always someone going through something harder so I feel fortunate that I have been lucky enough not be in that position where I'm struggling to have my first child. That must be so much harder on those who are.

GI J thank you for this, the info online is so confusing so it's good to hear from someone who's done it more than once successfully. Thank you
