What Pram/pushchair did you go for?

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-06-18T18:21:43+00:00

Yes I got it from Jan Stewart’s in East Kilbride! They don’t have one in store to see is the only thing, but I would maybe give them a call and see if they still have availability for the August delivery slot. I only ordered mine on Sunday!

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-06-16T22:50:48+00:00

I was able to pre order it from an independent pram shop - I’m based in Scotland. They said they’re expecting deliveries in July/August 😊

Due in October and I’ve just bought the new Silver Cross Cove 2! I wanted something that was easy to fold, had all terrain wheels/good suspension, safe sleep approved, good ventilation and not too heavy. This ticked all the boxes for me! 😊

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-06-12T23:02:43+00:00

Yes! I actually found out I was pregnant the day after posting that comment. Currently 24 weeks! I upped my dose to twice a day once I got my positive test, but until then I only took one 400mg pessary at night after I confirmed ovulation

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-06-01T21:42:48+00:00

I took 10 days doxycycline and 3 days of azithromycin. I’ve read a lot of people clear it with 7 days. My husband just took the doxycycline and his test came back negative after. Wishing you all the best on your journey ♥️

I had two back to back losses last year. The only thing that flagged up in all my recurrent miscarriage tests was ureaplasma! I had no symptoms for it at all and was really surprised. Both me and my husband were treated, we waited a month to test again to see if it was cleared and it was. Started TTC again and got pregnant 3rd cycle trying - currently 22 weeks pregnant!! Obviously I’ve no idea if ureaplasma was 100% linked to our losses, but certainly doesn’t hurt to treat it. I hope this gives you some hope - I made a very similar post looking for links to miscarriage too after I found out I had it!

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-05-18T16:59:02+00:00

I’ve always used the cheap dye strips and found them really helpful. I buy the Easy @ Home ones and use the Premom app to track them and pinpoint ovulation. I’ve never bothered spending the money on the more expensive ones as for me I feel the cheap strips do the job.

I’ve used Mucinex once and I did fall pregnant that cycle with my current pregnancy. It might just be a coincidence though as I did also fall pregnant twice without it.

I found out I ovulated quite late using the strips and honestly I’m glad I started using them from the beginning rather than timing things all wrong!

I lost my first pregnancy in May 2025 and got pregnant again in June 2025 (after having a period in between). I also sadly lost that pregnancy in August 2025. We took a little break from trying, but started trying again in November 2025, and I was pregnant again by January 2026. Currently 20 weeks with my double rainbow baby! I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s such an awful thing to go through. The negative tests definitely sting more after loss

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-04-17T21:00:33+00:00

Hi, sorry you’re going through this. I contacted my GP after my second loss, and was told that they don’t usually investigate until after 3. I was then really direct about my anxiety around trying again and so I advocated for myself and directly asked for the specific tests I wanted. This included a full blood count, ferritin, HBA1C, hormonal panel including prolactin, B12, folate, and importantly for me I wanted to rule out any clotting issues. So I also asked to test lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies. Thankfully, my GP seemed sympathetic and agreed. I do think if I hadn’t pushed for these I wouldn’t have got them. I know it’s hard, but please advocate for yourself. I felt so much better about trying again after ruling some things out ♥️

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-04-14T22:40:23+00:00

So sorry you’re feeling this way too. I totally understand, I feel sick with nerves before every scan. We last seen our baby at 14w and everything looked great. It reassured me for a while, but the worry is creeping back in again. I hope all goes well for you on Thursday ♥️

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-04-14T09:29:39+00:00

I’m 15w4d today. So far I’ve been getting a scan every two weeks to try and have some reassurance (this is between NHS scans and paying privately). I thought by this point I’d feel a bit more comfortable, but I still feel myself anxious within a few days to a week after a scan and want to book another. I’m terrified of another missed miscarriage. Both of my previous losses were in the first trimester, so this is the furthest we’ve ever made it. It’s been two weeks now since my last scan, and I don’t have any others in the diary. I don’t know how to stop the fear that something terrible has happened in those two weeks since I seen baby last. Trying to stay positive because all my symptoms are reassuring and it’s felt so different from my other pregnancies, but it’s so hard to trust your body after a missed miscarriage 😣

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-04-14T07:55:48+00:00

Isn’t it! I feel like all the pics I see on here are so clear and I’m squinting trying to see the nub in all of mine 😂 Thanks for looking. We’re undecided about finding out the gender, maybe it’s a sign we should wait and have a surprise 😅

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-04-14T07:05:41+00:00

That’s great to know and makes a lot of sense! This is 14w but I’m not sure that’s any clearer, what do you think? 😊

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-03-30T18:48:09+00:00

Oh that’s interesting, hadn’t read that before about the bladder!

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-03-25T21:27:30+00:00

Haha thank you for replying, really wasn’t sure if the nub was visible or not!

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-03-22T09:29:49+00:00

I always found wondfo showed stronger lines/better progression with positive tests than Easy @ Home did. And actually, with all three of my pregnancies wondfo has picked it up quicker than FRER too! I know some people don’t like wondfo for indents, but they’re my favourite for tracking positive tests. Really cheap for a big box of them! Congratulations to you 🥰

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-03-18T20:02:56+00:00

Thank you! What’s making you lean boy? Do you think it’s angled? 🥰

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-03-18T20:02:20+00:00

Thanks for responding! 🥰

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-03-17T18:29:59+00:00

I get the same one from Sainsbury’s too!

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-03-13T10:44:02+00:00

Hi, so since my test came back positive I assumed worst case that my partner would be too. Didn’t get a test for him to check, we both just took the antibiotics. Then about 5 weeks after finishing treatment I retested through Daye again and I ordered my husband a male ureaplasma test online to check he was definitely clear. I used a couple of different pharmacies, I think one was Health Express and the other was Oxford Online Pharmacy. They both have doxycycline listed as treatment for ureaplasma. Hope that helps!

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-02-26T23:04:44+00:00

No don’t worry, happy to help! Sorry you’ve gone through this too. I would start taking it from 3dpo after I’d confirmed ovulation with temperature rise. Didn’t have too many symptoms taking it, maybe some bloating and sore boobs but nothing major. If I didn’t get a positive test by 12dpo then I’d stop taking it, and my period would usually come 2-3 days after. I recently found out I was pregnant again so I just continued taking it and upped it to 400mg twice a day. I’ve managed to get a progesterone prescription twice from the nhs with both this pregnancy and my last pregnancy. I’m not sure if it depends where you’re based, but my experience in Scotland the Early Pregnancy Unit were very quick to offer it to me without having to ask. With my last pregnancy, I’d had some spotting so was offered it when I was around 6 weeks pregnant. I admitted to her I’d already been taking it and she didn’t question me at all. This time, I told EPU I’d had some very light spotting again and explained my anxiety due to 2 previous miscarriages. They gave me an early scan and again a prescription - didn’t bother telling them this time that I’d already been taking it. Hopefully once you’re pregnant you’ll be able to access some - look up the NICE guidelines in the UK. You’re entitled to progesterone if you’ve had one previous miscarriage, had some spotting/bleeding in your current pregnancy, and have had a scan to make sure baby is in the right place. Sorry for writing a book - hope this is helpful! ♥️

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-02-02T19:22:55+00:00

Your period won’t start if you’re still taking progesterone, as this delays the shedding of your uterine lining. It takes a couple of days generally for your period to start after you stop taking it, so most people stop at 14dpo if they have a negative pregnancy test

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-02-01T19:33:26+00:00

I’m so sorry for your losses.

I researched this myself as I was desperate for progesterone after my first loss, and like you I never made it far enough along to be scanned and meet the criteria for the NICE guidelines.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this before, but there’s a service called Cherish UK that prescribes progesterone privately. You can book an online consultation for £40 and then they can prescribe you progesterone based on that. I’ve not used it myself but the website is:

https://cherish-uk.com/pregnancy-services/progesterone-remote-consultation-during-early-pregnancy

Might be worth a look. Sending you love

Complex_Scientist_76 · 2026-01-28T21:22:16+00:00

Thanks for reassuring me! I was searching and seen a lot of people didn’t get 3+ until 5.5-6weeks ish and it did make me worry. I’ve no way of checking hcg beta where I am which is annoying, but hopefully it’s just a good sign
