Hi! I am 12 weeks this week and my midwife has suggested I start a low dose aspirin. She told me it’s to prevent preeclampsia, so I understand the why behind her suggesting it, but I like to be fully informed on things. She didn’t go into any detail other than that, so in addition to doing my own research, I also wanted to ask here. Are there any risks associated with the low dose aspirin? Any experiences - good or bad - from taking it?

** I want to add some of my hesitation comes from spotting during the first few weeks or early pregnancy and having asthma - both things she kind of brushed over when I asked about it and was like “it’s fine”.

Hi all - looking for advice! I am 11 weeks with a euploid embryo and have my NIPT scan next week. My OB / mid wife brought up the NT scan and said they don’t offer it in office but I likely don’t need it anyways since my embryo was euploid and I’m doing NIPT but I see a lot of people on here do all three. I found a place that can do it out of pocket, just want to get people’s thoughts on if that is necessary or would be more so for peace of mind. Thank you!

I am switching to a new OB after graduating from my clinic because they deliver in the hospital I want. I was reading through their pregnancy care plan and what to expect and it mentioned a pap on the first visit. Am I allowed to decline this even though it’s a new OB? I really don’t feel comfortable doing that while pregnant, I’ve already had pink spots on and off, I really don’t want to do something to make it worse. Can I just ask to postpone until after the pregnancy even if it’s a new OB or I’m overdue? (Please do not reply with the importance of a pap- I already know that and that’s not my question).

Hi everyone! I already know the answer to this in the right side of my mind (people who work on their feet have pregnancies every day) but just looking for peace of mind.

My company scheduled me for a work conference for 4 days next month. I had no idea it was going to be that long and it will be multiple days on my feet, talking to people, working a booth, lunches, dinners, staying at a hotel, etc.

I am currently 5 weeks and first ultrasound isn’t scheduled until 6 weeks 6 days. This conference will be when I am at the 8 week mark. Is there anything to worry about with this? Long days on my feet for 4 days? Has anyone had similar? Thank you!

After the longest wait I got the call today that my first BETA was 210! I did a modified natural FET coming off of a Lupron suppression so there has been so much that has led up to this.

I am also not supplementing with any progesterone due to a sensitivity I had to it during two prior fully medicated FETs that ended in chemical. I was so pleasantly surprised to hear my progesterone level was at 60 today!

In a process where so many things can feel like they don’t go right - I am so darn proud of my body today! Second BETA on Monday! 🤍🙏🏼

Hi - has anyone experienced brown spotting (a good amount) 9dp5dt and still had a successful pregnancy?

My progesterone was still high when I checked it this morning with my Mira and my pregnancy tests were positive. My FRER line was almost as dark as the control line this morning.

Could implantation bleeding come this late if I’ve been showing positive for 4 days now?

Please let me know if you have any positive stories - my beta is tomorrow.
