Pessaries after ovulation

Has anyone taken progesterone pessaries after they’ve ovulated to help with conception? I keep having chemicals and miscarriages so I am going to try taking them after ovulation instead of waiting until a positive pregnancy test as seems it’s too late. My question is if you don’t get pregnant when do you take the pessaries up until and will it mess up my natural cycle? Do you just have to take a pregnancy test to see if pregnant and if not, stop taking them? I don’t want it to mess with my cycle as I’m ovulating fine at the moment .

Only use the pessaries once you get a postive test no sooner

Do you have low progesterone, or a short luteal phase?
I think you can start taking them after ovulation but if you don’t get a positive by 12DPO, you should stop them. Be mindful they might delay your period starting though. If you get a positive after stopping then you can restart them again.

Okay thanks both.

My gyne gave me progesterone, I started it a day and a half after ovulation, for 12 days, took a pregnancy test, if negative, stopped. You should get your period 2 to 5 days after stopping. For me it was two to three days. If you have cycles of 28 days, it will delay your cycle a few days, but shouldn't affect it.
But I would discuss it with my gyne first, at the end of the day it is medication and you should not take it if your doctor does not approve. Do blood test on day 21 to confirm the level of progesterone. Mine was a little low and that is why I got it prescribed.

great thank you. My cycles are normally 31/32 days. Think I’ll discuss it with the early miscarriage unit first but just frustrating I’m ovulating every month and have conceived numerous times but it seems my progesterone is dropping very soon after conception and I’m either having a chemical or miscarriage!

During IVF I took them 3 days before my embryo transfer and then if the test was negative I stopped and had to wait for my period to come, never any sooner

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
