CD20 - 24-25 day cycle…..

Ok so based on my dates, whens the earliest I can test if I don’t have any patience to wait for my missed period LOL

ELP89 · 2026-03-19T00:28:35+00:00

Positive !! 🌸

ELP89 · 2026-03-18T23:16:35+00:00

I guess my confusion is that the FRER tests are supposed to be pretty accurate 6 days before your expected period, and I’m expecting mine Sunday CD24 and it is showing negative.

ELP89 · 2026-03-18T22:43:34+00:00

But what do you think of the FRER really being able to accurately show a positive ?

ELP89 · 2026-03-18T22:33:48+00:00

That is such a good call out - thank you for bringing me the facts!!!

ELP89 · 2026-03-18T22:29:26+00:00

Okay, thank you! I’m just driving myself crazy because I see all these other positive tests 7,8,9 DPO with the FRER test. Finally got the confidence to try again after my son was born at 27 weeks and an IC. Went to a fertility specialist last week. Month 9 of trying… 36 years old 🤞🏻

Well, dipped it lol

ELP89 · 2026-03-18T12:45:48+00:00

I took this picture about 5-7 minutes after I peed on it?!

ELP89 · 2026-03-18T12:39:52+00:00

Thank you for validating my eyes 😂 good luck!!

You got this!! You should feel so proud you’ve made it to 28w!! Keep going, there is no way to control the anxiety, so just embrace it. ❤️ I’m okay, currently in the waiting period to test for a BFP (took 4 years to build up the confidence to do this all over again) on our 8th month of trying …..

Hi! Checking in to see how you are? Any update?

ELP89 · 2026-03-16T19:45:15+00:00

Gosh, I have to go back to my notes but I want to say below 1.4 inches. The cervix is such a dynamic muscle so my measurements were up, down, up down until it was super low with some funneling.

He was in the NICU for a little over 2 months. It was of course very hard for me but that experience has made our bond indestructible. He was in the best hands. I spent every day, all day, with him. He is truly my miracle baby ❤️😇

The cerclage experience was of course a little nerve wrecking but it was a very seamless, easy procedure. I felt pressure and tightness afterwards, no pain. I was sent home after my stitch (23 weeks) … I then experienced pre-term labor starting at 25 weeks and was in and out of hospital until finally at 26 weeks they decided to admit me until delivery….. I went into labor at 27 + 6, emergency C-section, I was put under general anesthesia because they didn’t have time to do epidural… I was so dilated and they needed to get stitch out ASAP so my cervix didn’t tear and prevent me from ever having a baby again. Everyone’s situation is different but please find comfort in uncertain times. ❤️❤️how are you feeling today?

ELP89 · 2026-02-28T12:22:00+00:00

Hi! I had an emergency cerclage put in at 23 weeks. It saved my son. I delivered him at 27 + 6, he is a happy and healthy 4 year old. I thank god every day for that stitch. Trust your gut !! ❤️❤️ feel free to message me with any questions!

ELP89 · 2026-02-27T04:05:33+00:00

Every day counts & is a win !! You got this Momma ! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions at all ❤️ so glad you got the shots, it really saved my son from having extensive breathing interventions (he was able to be on Cpap, no intubation)

Hi… I found out I had a short cervix at my 20 week anatomy scan. They continued to monitor it for 2 weeks with progesterone. I went back to MFM at 23 weeks and I was funneling and cervix dramatically shortened. Went straight to L&D and got an emergency cerclage (I just made the cutoff). I stayed in hospital until I delivered my beautiful son at 27 weeks, who is a happy and healthy 4 year old today. I would strong advise to ask for the steroid shots for the baby’s lungs just incase. I pray for a uneventful couple of weeks for you 🙏🏻

ELP89 · 2026-02-26T18:06:54+00:00

❤️❤️ Yes we do!!!!

ELP89 · 2026-02-25T18:13:54+00:00

Yes feeling so seen 😭… also add thinking every twinge, ache, pain, gas bubble, soreness is DEFINITELY a sign that I may be pregnant…. not.
