TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 34 - huddle up and bring on the BFP's

@zoomies1 I'm sorry I meant aren't to bad. Blooming phones auto correct is cursed I'm sure of it lol

As for me I'm 9 dpo and bfn will test again at 12 dpo and if still bfn then I'll stop the progesterone and wait for AF to show her ugly 😔 face. Finding having hope very difficult right now.

@clitterratti any sign of AF yet hun xx

@zoomies1 those results are to bad hun. Mine were much worst at fsh 11.2 and amh 5.5. On average (I know a difficult question) how long did it take you to get pregnant. Fingers crossed nothing is wrong and it's just horrible bad luck or if they do find something it's super simple to fix xx

@peperethecat I need to have a repeat chlamydia screen (already done but they want to do it again), a hsg/hycosy and I think LH. Can't do the blood test until my period comes back (currently on day 30) and can't have the hsg as everything is shut down.

I did get my AMH yesterday though 11.8. I think my FSH was about 8.7 so I'm not really sure what that means. I think its not terrible but not great.

I hope everyone else is doing okay today.

Sorry @clitterratti I missed your last post when I asked how you are

How late is AF?

@clitterratti how missing is it hun. Are you usually regular

I’m sorry you find yourself here @Kangaroo77

How are you @clitterratti?

Thanks @clitterratti 🥰

My AF is missing and all the pg tests are streaked with BFNs.

My face is full of pimples and I've gained a kg. The whole universe is against me.

welcome @Kangaroo77 sorry you are here, welcome.

Thanks @Mumlili9 for the welcome. I hope we all have happy stories on this thread. We need some good news!

I'm half excited and half terrified. I've convinced myself I've got 'bad eggs' and because I seem to hang on to unhealthily pregnancies,

I'm scared of falling again, but obviously want to. It's like pregnancy roulette. How do I know the next egg will be fine? It's scary as I'm so healthy these days (despite my age 🤣). I don't drink, smoke and am fit and well. After giving up drinking a year ago I'm the healthiest I've ever been, still, I had a bad egg and another one before resulting in operations. Ugh. Hard isn't it, the worry. Sending love xxx

@Kangaroo77 welcome. I'm so sorry I can't imagine how you feel. I hope you find some comfort here with us x

Hello all,

Joining this thread for support. Terminated my 3rd baby (16 weeks) for T9 last month 😔.

Just finishing my first cycle after TFMR bleed and have recovered well so far. It's my second surgical termination for medical reasons so weirdly it wasn't as debilitating as the first one.

Looking to start trying again soon. Eager to read positive rainbow baby stories. I'm 42 and hoping for a healthy pregnancy this year. It will be my partners 1st baby. Xxxx

@mumlili9 thats an impressive list! I only take a few basic ones. Never give up hope, nothing is impossible

@Mumlili9 Keep doing what you’re doing. Definitely dont give up 💕

@BunnytheHoneyBee aww thank hun shame I haven't got my rainbow baby yet though. Even though the consultant has said that it is unlikely that I'll be able to carry or get pregnant, I'm not giving up. I'll stand on my head a snort peas it'll work lol

@Mumlili9 Thank you for all that. You have convinced me I need it all 😂 I do drink but very rarely like probably not even once a month and then it’s one or two drinks. I don’t really drink caffeine either as I don’t like tea or coffee but I do occasionally drink coke (again haven’t had one for at least a month though). I eat fairly well but eat chocolate every day and I’m trying to drink more water. You’re doing great.

@BunnytheHoneyBee Q10/ubiquinol boosts the mitochondrial power of the cells in the whole body, it helps to repair damage to cells. The egg is the biggest cell in the body and requires a lot of energy when it's growing and maturing, also after fertilisation while the cells are dividing and growing before implantation. The whole process requires energy and plenty of water. The cleaner your diet the better your eggs. I also do not drink ever and no caffeine either.

@BunnytheHoneyBee ubiquinol is the active bioidentical form of Co Q10 but is alot more expensive also you don't need as high a dose as coq10. You need at least 600mg of CoQ10 but only 400μg of ubiquinol. Ubiquinol is easier for the body to put to use (good for egg quality) than CoQ10. Your liver has to convert CoQ10 into ubiquinol before your body can use it and you lose some of its good stuff during the conversion. The same as folic acid and folate. Folate is better and doesn't build up in your system like folic acid does. Vitamin E helps to condition your uterine lining ready for implantation and asprin helps against clots. Omega 3 helps babies development but also helps to lower inflammation in your body adding hormone balance.
Or its all bull crap and none of it works lol

@Mumlili9 Thank you and stop saying you’re a freak. It’s good that you are working to give your self the best chance. Do you know much about COQ10? I’ve read that can help egg quality.

I might just get a conception vitamin again. I started taking the pregnancy ones as someone on here suggested it as being cheaper but similar but I’ve got a bit lazy and I’m only taking the folic acid and vitamin d except when I have Berocca some days.I need a new prescription for the high does folic acid too. The reality is the cost of a vitamin is a small price to pay given what we are working towards.

@BunnytheHoneyBee hi I'm kind of a freak about it when it comes to supplements

Cd1 until ovulation I take :
Pregnacare preconception
Asprin 75mg
Folate 400μg
Ubiquinol 500mg
Vitamins 25 μg
1000 mg omega 3 with 300mg of active EPA/DHA
Evening primrose oil 1000 mg
Vitamins E 4000 I. U

After ovulation I only take:
The multi vitamin,
Folate
Asprin
Vitamins E and D
Omega 3
Ubiquinol

If I get a bfp ill stop the vitamin E and ubiquinol as they are bad for pregnancy.

See I'm a freak. I've gradually add things with each miscarriage. It probably doesn't help because I still mc every time but this way I feel I'm doing something

Hi everyone

Hope you’re ok @turquoisebaby and @Mumlili9

I’m sure we’ve discussed this before but what do you take in terms of supplements? I’ve just been taking high dose folic acid and I take pregnancy vitamins (as they’re cheaper than prenatal) as and when. I sometimes take Berocca which is not for pregnancy / conception but just mental health.

Now I feel like time is getting on since my second pregnancy and I feel like I could be doing more.

Thank you I'll have a look!

@turquoisebaby try fertility friend app it has a tutorial section that explains everything with pictures. I live this app it's the best one I've found
