TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

Hahaha @HidCat I've been at this months to no avail, build away (although - furniture assembly at 2230 on a Saturday? You are dedicated!!) (have replaced my 🍷 with ☕️ though 🙄)

@PassTheAfterEights I'm guessing building wardrobes isn't regarded as a sensible plan in the TWW then.....

@MrsGS76 your wish! Xx the full list is: keep feet and kidneys warm (?!), eat 1 cup of fresh pineapple daily, including as much core as possible (bromelain for implantation), no heavy lifting or "closed twists" (yoga), no hot baths, avoid raw veg (digesting it diverts blood supply), laugh, and think positive!

@knitkitty so sorry hun. Def get yourself a big glass of something xxx

@Blondcat @Boboelephant thanks very much for your advice, very much appreciated!!
@PassTheAfterEights , raw veg? Gosh didn't know that one . Definitely interested in any more tips if you've got! Going to get some pineapple juice and core tomorrow x
@weasledee stay strong!!! And fx for you x

@KnitKitty I'm sorry to hear your news. I feel your loss I too had the same thing last cycle and its awful. Big hug xx

Couldn't read & run @weasledee 💪 well done that girl I say, going to try a leaf out of your book this month! Hope the next few days go your way.

Hi all, just checking in!
I think I'm about 7 DPO and I need to not do the early testing as last month it drove me a bit potty! I was taking tests apart, holding them to the light etc etc which we all know is pointless and will not change the outcome... so gonna try and be strong and no testing till AF due

Good attitude @KnitKitty but sorry to read your update 😘

@MrsGS76 there is a fabled list of tips for the 2ww that includes avoiding hot baths / hot tubs (and raw veg!) between conception & implantation - very unclear how much proven research sits behind it but it did originate from a gp during fertility struggles. From memory it also included a cup of pineapple daily (including as much core as possible, for the bromelain (?!)) and a few other bits. Can probably dig it out if anyone's interested. BUT also a big school of thought that you keep living your life (said nursing a glass of Cotes de Rhône) x

@MrsGS76 it depends on what the instructions are for different brands. I use the cheapie ones off Amazon and they say not to use fmu. So I often do an evening one when I start using them and then when I think ovulation is about to happen I do about 3 a day. It does say to try and do them the same time each day and I notice they do fluctuate in colour a bit during the day. Interestingly the darkest positives I've ever seen where the lines match have always been the ones about 11pm. I think the CB ones might be more sensitive so you may only need to do once a day. With opks usually once you've gotten a positive you ovulate 12-48 hours after. I have a short surge and am defi in the 12 hour category so that's a other reason I don't only test once a day. Good luck to you!

@knitkitty so sorry

@gratefulninja sorry for your loss and welcome to the group.

@mrsgs76 I think the hot baths are meant to be avoided in the tww not really sure why. I know in early pregnancy you are not meant to get too hot which is why people say to avoid them. I don't have a bath that often anyway so doesn't really bother me. I am sure someone else will give you more on it though.

@RedRobin7 Happy Anniversary to you tomorrow and enjoy celebrating with lots of baby dancing! I'm CD7 tomorrow so I'm going to start using the OPK 's so fingers crossed for the forthcoming week x Stop ignorIng your hubby and get into the mood!
@Laney79 fabulous view! Enjoy all you can and definitely beer is good for you , ha ha xx
@YellowDaffodils86 yes defo on standby, I'm sure last time we conceived was 'quickly' before I went on a night shift!! Good choice of words to write on DH head, a pic would have been priceless!!
@sweetpea0318 Fx for you this month that the POS (pre ovulation shag) works!
@YellowDaffodils86 Good luck for JKS starting tonight, no phones allowed!! X
@Gratefulninja So sorry for your loss, hopefully soon when all bleeding is stopped, you can start TTC again, fx for you . As you've said, you're young and healthy and it's cruel this has happened to you xx sending you virtual hugs xx
@Boboelephant I'm starting to use the OPK's tomorrow but it's a s to use first morning urine (clear blue ones) but reading your post you seem to do another one in the night? I hadn't realised you could have a different reading during the day so I'm going to do it more than once a day x fx for you xx
@KnitKitty Sending you the hugest virtual hug! Think a glass of something is needed for you ta night xx

Question to all ... I've read several posts a re. Hot baths/showers , I thought that only referred to the men? Are we not supposed to enjoy this - she says currently soaking in a hot bath?? Xx

Aw @KnitKitty I'm so sorry to hear this. Big hugs to you and a big glass of something alcoholic tonight

@KnitKitty sorry I missed your post earlier. I hope you're ok. So sorry this happened.

@Gratefulninja welcome and I'm sorry for your loss. Hopefully the scan gives you the all clear so you can start ttc asap. This is a lovely supportive group.

@KnitKitty oh no. I'm so sorry!!! Put your feet up and have a glass of wine. We're all here for you xx

@YellowDaffodils86 thank you! Trying to stay as optimistic as possible 😊

@KnitKitty oh I’m so sorry! Sending you lots of hugs ❤️

@Gratefulninja so sorry that you're having to go through this. I understand completely the desire to start trying again straight away. The main indicator is your hcg levels. You could try doing a pregnancy test and if it's negative you should be good to go, unless your doc tells you otherwise.

I'm out. Bleeding started.

Short cycle for me, only 29 days.

Trying not to over-think things and just keep up with the positive thoughts and pretend like this hasn't happened. If I hadn't tested so stupidly early I wouldn't have even known. Lesson learned.

Thanks for all the kind messages.

Thanks @maxiflump1. I hope so!
@YellowDaffodils86 I actually haven't gotten a positive opk yet so no ovulation today. The last couple of months I've had a 12 hour surge so I either get the positive late at night or early the next morning and then ovulate that day. I was expecting it to be positive today because of temps and cm but not yet. I'll test before bed and see what temp does tomorrow. I feel like it's soon though. Haha your post made me laugh!! So something I would do! 🤣🤣🤣
@sweetpea0318 fx it's enough! For lots of people here it only takes one!
@RedRobin7 ooh enjoy your holiday! I know it's bittersweet but hopefully you guys can relax and jks away! I find fw much easier on holiday- afternoon delight and all that 😉
@Laney79 looks gorgeous! Enjoy those beers!! You definitely deserve it. Hope the bleeding stops asap. My gynae consultant was also a bit cautious about the baby aspirin fyi.
@HidCat sounds promising!!
Good luck to everyone who is coming up to jks week! Tell those DH of yours that they are living the dream and they should enjoy it now!

Hi 👋
I’m new so hope it’s okay to join :-)

First pregnancy just ended in a MMc this week so feeling a bit all over the shop atm and tbh just want to get back to normal :-)

We want to start trying right away (I know
that might seem soon as I only mc on Tuesday but I had known myself that the pregnancy was over for a few weeks). We are young and healthy so the doctor said it all looks fine for the next pregnancy...fingers crossed.

Bit worried about how long my body will take to go back to normal (tmi but stop bleeding etc) also my mc seemed to happen very quickly (light bleeding for 3 days then medication brought sudden severe cramps and clots etc for an hour now back to light bleeding) so not sure if it is definitely complete? Got to go back for a scan in two weeks to check. Anyone else feel like a TV scan is now part of their weekly routine? 🙈 I don’t even feel embarrassed anymore!

@YellowDaffodils86 Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣

@Laney79 lovely view! Enjoy.

@RedRobin7 ah always wanted to go to Canda, hope you have an amazing time, despite the reason for booking.

@MrsGS76 haha on standby!

@HidCat ha oh yes, i took a few, i then decided to write 'dick' on his forehead with eyeliner, which he saw in the mirror this morning when he got up. I sat in bed waiting for him to make the discovery, laughing to myself like a naughty child. Cant be a boring grown up all the time! 😂

@KnitKitty I did spot a week before when I had the implant in but not all the time and it was red, not the pink watery discharge I've had. Wednesday sounds like a plan though I won't hold it against you if you test before 😂

@YellowDaffodils86 I hope you took a picture of your OH like that! brilliant!

@sweetpea0318 the day before ov is perfect timing so here's hoping everything clicked regardless. Glad you're all made up now.

@Laney79 you sound so much more positive. That beer is obviously doing the trick. Keep enjoying yourself but keep an eye on those unusual symptoms.

@MrsGS76 Just read out your comment about your DH to my DH and you should have seen his face 🤨 I thought sharing others stories would help him realise it's not just him and that he just needs to get on with it like the others do. He's a lost cause! 🙈 I'm just going to pounce on him when the time comes. Luckily for him the digital and IC were both negative today so he's got another day of rest today. It's our wedding anniversary tomorrow so I'm hoping that's the first of our JKS sessions!

@Laney79 Ah okay it refers to the dose. That makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for explaining! I think we will try again as we are and if it happens again I'll speak to the Dr about aspirin. Really hoping that the statistics are in my favour for the next time though. I struggled to believe the pros when they all said the same thing like it was memorised, "Miscarriage is common, it's nothing you've done, statistically it won't happen again... blah blah blah"... but now I have to be positive and try to believe that for my own sanity!

@RedRobin7 ooh Toronto-nice! Enjoy!
Thanks for the info too about length of AF-already feels like a long time for a heavy flow (mine are normally heavy for two days and then Peter put, gone by day 6).
Baby aspirin is a 75mg dose-rather than standard 300mg dose. I've always taken it when going on planes etc due to getting swollen feet. Not that it does much to stop that. Did ask my GP if I should take it if I'm lucky enough to fall pregnant again-she advised caution. Apparently not enough research to support it during TTC/first 12 weeks but they do give it after that to help with pre eclampsia risk. Have to admit I'm still tempted to take it if I do catch again. The nurse at the EPAU suggested I spoke to doc about it. X
