TTC after MC - June 2020

@MichT4 @HopeForRainbowbaby @VP91 sorted it 😅 and its an hour earlier now so win win because the sooner the better X x

@2020wish thats a joke that they have done that to you 🙄!! Hope ur ok and i really hope the hcg works! Something different worked for me this cycle so maybe it was that!? Xx

@MummyMilla welcome to the group❤️ I am so sorry you have suffered two losses so quickly. Hopefully we can be supportive and get you through the rest of your TTC journey. Looks like you're set. I echo what the other girls have said with pre seed.

I am on CD4, this month I am following SMEP, using pre seed with the ferti-lily cup and will try Calc Flor in the TWW and grapefruit juice (if I ever remember to buy it) pre ovulation.

@ManchNic my heart hurts for you, I am so incredibly sorry you lost your little boy. There are no words and then to suffer a further two losses. You are incredibly strong. Sending you so much love and hope for you to have a healthy pregnancy soon. I hope we can be a source of comfort and support ❤️

Hi everyone hope you are all well. Been quiet the last couple of days just been busy with work, enjoying the sun and getting my head round going back into school next week.
Cycle day 15 and got my positive opk 😀 and both my apps say I'm due to ovulate tomorrow so that's quite good that it matches up. Plus it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow so going to take this as a wee lucky sign.

@HopeForRainbowbaby I didn't track the first two cycles post-MC but they were super short anyway so I don't think I ovulated (?) just a guess. But, the ones I have tracked are longer than I have had before so I am still settling down. I think it's normal considering what has happened.

@Rainbowhope11 definitely get them, I really like the femometer things. Love my themometer too!

@MichT4 I have gone to Tesco twice with the aim of getting grapefruit juice and I have forgotten 😩😩😩 need to go again!

@Hayleylou89 I hope you get a new time on the same day or the other meeting can be re-scheduled?

@Elliew818 I have never heard of Glow. Is it any good? Any reason to get a new app 😂
Yeah it sounds like signs of ovulation hun! You'll be in the TWW now. 🤞

@2020wish I got back a normal result for my thyroid test too. Glad you're all okay though x I can't believe how none of the dept notify each other of these things! It can be so emotional to get that letter or phone call.

@SmileyT how are you today? Xxx

Hi,

Can I join too? I'm 39 (40 this year 😫). I have a nearly 5 year old girl, and a little boy who devastatingly died last March at 18 months.

We started TTC again in June last year. In November I was 10 weeks but had to end the pregnancy due to a fatal cystic hygroma. Took ages for cycle to return but got pregnant again in Feb, then miscarried naturally at 8 weeks in April. Obviously very concerned it's never going to happen but back on the TTC bandwagon, currently CD18.

Helps to know I'm not the only one obsessed with anything fertility and pregnancy related!

@MummyMilla oh yes, I second @2020wish suggestion on the preseed! Definitely using that again this month

@2020wish shame, she probably felt awful!

I feel far from pregnant 😂 I feel nothing actually😂 So my Femometer app said I should start testing last Friday, and I've gotten bfn's. But I've only just started using the Femometer app, so it doesn't have a lot of data and so predictions aren't really accurate. And then my fertility friend app says that I should only test on 6 June, which is when it has predicted that AF will start. But that's also not making any sense to me, because surely if I'm 14/15dpo then I would get a positive by now if I was pregnant. Unless I've ovulated later than the apps have predicted. Either way I'm just going to wait for AF to arrive instead of testing every few hours 😂 all the stores here are open so I could go out and get a test, but I think I'm just going to stay out because I feel like it's just going to end up in disappointment.

@MummyMilla Of course you are more than welcome to join😊 I'm so sorry for your losses, I've had one MMC during the lockdown too, but I cannot even begin to imagine how you must feel having to experience two during this already awful period. Hope you are doing okay and that you find this thread helpful and healing ❤️

A lot of us are trying a lot of things! Haha😂 Aside from the CB sticks, I'm doing cheapie OPKs as well because last month I didn't catch my peak on the CB sticks and it drove me crazy. I'm also tracking bbt to confirm ovulation, going to try grapefruit juice to improve CM and then I'm probably going to do Calc Fluor during the tww. Oh and I've also been taking prenatals for months now.

@elliew818 it sounds like ovulation pains to me. Mine can be quite sore some months. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you

@Rainbowhope11 yes she couldn’t apologise enough on the phone but it’s just annoying lol ohhh that all sounds positive!! When are the apps telling you AF is due ? Can you get some tests on amazon for next day delivery? How exciting!

Welcome @MummyMilla sorry to hear about ur loses and fingers crossed this month for you. It’s been so hard having mcs during lock down? I’ve had three and the emotions have just knocked me down. But coming into my fertile window again and ready to have my sticky bean. What cycle day are you now? Only other suggestion I can offer you would be pre seed?

Hello, please can I join? I've just had my second MC at 5/6 weeks. I had another fairly traumatic one in March at 9 weeks - blood transfusions, the whole shebang! So I've managed two MC in lockdown.

I've got 2 DSs already who are 9 and nearly 7. We ummed and ahhed for years about a third. Took over a year to get pg with the one that didn't stick in March (having reconciled we wouldn't get pg again) and having got pg again so quickly, we've now decided we've got one last go! I am 39.

I'm taking some mega vits that an osteo friend recommended and have just ordered some cb ov sticks and that cup thing! In ten days time things are going to go crazy around here, ha ha!

Any other tips would be hugely appreciated x

Hey @2020wish it's nice to hear from you again 😊 hope you're doing okay! Hope you get more info from the other blood results. Just when we think we've dealt with everything, our emotions always creep back up and whack us over the head, don't they!

Oh my goodness, really! That's awful that they would call you again about that appointment after you've also told them what happened 🙈

I'm doing okay! Trying to take a breather and be more relaxed. Last month I was just obsessed about trying to conceive and it's done nothing good for my state of mind. I'm on CD29 now, no sign of my period, but no sign of pregnancy either. I have two apps telling me two different testing dates and due dates for AF, so it's just confusing me. I've used up all my hpts of course 😂so I'm just planning on waiting for AF to arrive. My bbt is confusing me, today I've gotten an increase in temp at 14/15 dpo. I've also been having spots of ewcm and thin milky cm. Just not sure what's going on with me so I've joined the June bus because I don't know what to make of all this.

Hi ladies, I’ve been trying to keep up but haven’t had a chance to reply! I decided to download Glow and use OPKs this month after getting my first AF even though I was going to try and be relaxed about it 🙄 I think I got my peak yesterday at CD 14 and today I have got quite bad cramps, some IBS symptoms (sorry TMI 😳) and feels quite tender down there too. I’m guessing this is ovulation pain but I’ve not experienced it before like this - have any of you ladies had this post-MC or just in general?

@HopeForRainbowbaby it's seriously felt like that 😂😂🤣 I could see no end in sight🤣

@VP91x I've never tried the Femometer OPKs before, I think I'm going to order some and give it a try!

Hey ladies. Sorry been on and off. Was dealing with more emotions than I thought I had lol so spent the time off my phone and forcing myself out of the house lol blood results came back. Well the two main ones I was waiting on didn’t get analysed for some reason so I have to go back tomorrow but the rest came back normal (thyroid being one) hahaha bit gutted at that I had convinced myself I was getting fat due to an under active thyroid and would get some miracle pill to help get back to skinny but no I’m just fat 😂 so diet over haul it is. The clotting and inflammation bloods I’ve to return for.

Back in the fertile window now and going to start testing LH Now and this month going to try low dose aspirin. @Hayleylou89 my partner got the hcg so we started that yesterday so fingers crossed this is my month

Got another phone call today from the maternity clinic for my 12 weeks booking appointment tomorrow for the loss I had in April. Can you believe I rang them Monday after getting a text about the appointment and two weeks ago after I got the letter to inform them of my miscarriage? Lol

How is everyone

@Hayleylou89 beautiful names and nice idea with matching ends of names of all kids☺️ I agree with @MichT4, can't you move your meeting ?

@Hayleylou89 noooo 🥺 can’t you change your meeting?

@Niisa we do have similar stories! It’s annoying you can’t get that ‘what will be’ attitude back. Obviously lockdown doesn’t help, but I don’t like wishing days away - it didn’t feel like that then. I just got to a point where I felt different and took a test. Now it’s like clock watching 🙄
I stopped my pill in November so it happened pretty quick given I wasn’t tracking anything. I think that’s making it harder too because with that and people saying you’re more fertile after a MC, I’m expecting it. And it’s not happening 😤

I’m keen to try and wait to test each month but it’s easier said than done xx

@MichT4 I feel like you're talking about me! Fell pregnant in Jan - we weren't trying nor preventing, just had a "what will be, will be" attitude. Found out at my 12 week scan in mid-March that I'd had an MMC and there was no growth since week 7 and no heartbeat.

Since then I've been desperate to be a Mum! I have a 5 year old stepson but it isn't the same XX

@renna glad ur pains all sorted and ur on track for ur peak too 👌🏼!
The ferti lily is fab isnt it, literally only used mine 2 out of the 4 times we did it in the fertile window as i ordered it a little late ... well no ovulation came a week earlier than expected didnt it 🤦🏽‍♀️... got a good feelin this month is ur month... u cnt do no more and i think the dog will have taken ur mind away from it all too!

Iv just gone and realised iv got a meeting next week that clashes with my scan time 🙄... trying to get a new time now but hope they dont totally change the day 🙏 xx

@Niisa second including the MC, the MC was my first pregnancy. We were very relaxed first time, not really trying but not trying not to, if that makes sense. I’d come off the pill and we made that decision on the basis we would be happy whenever it happened. The MC made us realise how much we wanted it. So now trying to still be relaxed (as if) but with more of an idea of when the fertile week is etc.

Problem is, I like to feel in control of a situation so the ‘more of an idea’ for me has meant a load of supplements, Ava and now grapefruit juice 🙄

I still claim I’m relaxed.... 🤥

What about you? xx

@MichT4 😂😂😂

Will this be your second pregnancy? I'm sure you've mentioned it but I'm forever mixing peoples stories up!

@Niisa I know what you mean! I didn’t know what EWCM was until I saw it last month 😂

Also, I had my first glass of grapefruit juice today 🤨. The things we do! I don’t even really think I need it because CM isn’t a real issue for me, but here I am, drinking things I don’t like....😂😂. If it works, it’ll be my favourite drink for life

@Hayleylou89 of course! And you will have a healthy, successful pregnancy & delivery - I'm speaking it into existence and praying for it too! Such beautiful names!

@MichT4 @VP91x hoping so!

TMI but the 2 days we DTD this weekend, I had ewcm and I've never noticed it in my life! The things you learn while ttc! 😂 We also DTD last night - according to my app it was the day after ovulation so fx! I woke up this morning with ewcm again and the texture was DEFINITELY not egg white yesterday! Weird but I'm hopeful for this month!!!
