TTC after MC - June 2020

@bellabubble not just me then :) yeah I read that about CoQ10 for men , I have OH on fertilaid starting first time this cycle . He is 10 years older than me, I'm 28, so I'm like we best give your swimmers a boost as you never know lol . But willing to give my eggs /body any boost I can give it too xx

@Renna if it makes you feel better - I just spent a shed losd on amazing getting supplements etc for next month!! I have been so skint since the move too that I felt really guilty - but hubby said it’s worth it if it helps us get what we want! I got the coenzyme q10, calc fluor, seven seas trying for a baby - I nearly got (but didn’t get) hubby some trying to conceive vits - but the q10 one apparently is good for male fertility too - figured he could take those lol! I still have some pre-seed left thankfully!!

@1990em It’s definitely AF now, but still not particularly heavy for what I’m used too. I think I was perhaps being a little too optimistic thinking I would be back to my pre-mc cycles as it’s now the 4th cycle post mc. Bodies are so complex!!

Thanks for the welcome @SmileyT and @HE88
I don’t actually know anyone who has gone through a loss - which is a good thing! But it’s nice to talk to people who truly understand what you’re going through.
We have friends who are currently on hold for IVF who have been trying for years so we do feel very lucky we have got pregnant 3 times and having our little boy is helping this time round.

I know what you mean @1990EM I feel like my body has failed me
@renna I think a puppy will 100% perk you up!

@1990EM aw thanks hun xx I hope so too xx but yes of course will let you know what it's like xx

@Renna please let us know what you think of the Ava this cycle... here's hoping you soon won't need it any more 💗

@SmileyT I ordered some of that CoQ10 on amazon yday. It's supposed to help with releasing healthy eggs , I got one off amazon called ubiquinol and it also has omega 3 in it too. Also won a bid on an ava bracelet on Ebay today so hopefully that will come in the next week or so . Like you say I'm probs throwing money at stuff and like others have said I got pg last time just on pre natal vitamins and using conceive plus lube but cant help want to try everything I can xx
Sorry to those who have had AF arrive, I'm on CD 2 and feeling down about it all still, hopefully I'll perk up when get puppy next week and go into my fertile window x x

@Bellabubble how are things this evening?

@SmileyT same here, my middle of the night Amazon/ebay searches are borderline crazy but if it helps to shorten the wait it feels worth it.. also despite having 2 healthy full term pregnancies my MC has made me feel that I'm incapable of carrying a baby now which doesnt help the impulse buying of ALL the supplements☹

Well at least you have cycles. That's more then me.

Hi @elliew818 welcome to the thread sorry to hear what you have been through.
I had only been taking a preconception vitamin until I joined these threads they are very informative.
I understand what you mean about feeling lonely however we did tell family that I we were pregnant just out of pure excitement and because we had been trying for so long. Despite that though I do still feel very lonely and like they have forgotten what we have been through.
Sending lots of love your way xx

Hi, just wondering if I can join? Been lurking a bit - don’t know why, but it’s comforting knowing there are others going through the same thing, even though you wouldn’t wish it on your worst enemy!
I lost my first in June 2017 (had medical management at 13 weeks due to foetal abnormality) then had my wonderful baby boy in October 2018. We got pregnant again in January this year but unfortunately went through medical management due to (completely different unrelated) foetal abnormality at 13 weeks on 10th April.
Having my first AF at the mo and so will be TTC this month. I take folic acid but that’s it, seems like you’re all so clued up about supplements and I’ll be honest I have no idea what a cup is!
Just wanted to have some company as we haven’t told anyone I was even pregnant/ lost the baby and so feel a bit isolated (as I’m sure most people do!). Hopefully there’ll be some BFPs in June for everybody!

@SmileyT thanks
I keep telling myself I've got pregnant 4 times now 3 taking nothing and one on vitamins only so surly I don't need anything else but I can't help myself xx

@SmileyT there's so many to choose from on Amazon it says 600mg is a good dose which ones have you bought ?xx

Hey @Bellabubble that is annoying I would give it a couple of days and see what happens is af doesn't appear I would maybe take a test just to check. Xx

@SmileyT my body now has me thoroughly confused!! After having so e red blood this morn thinking it was first day if AF, I’ve had nothing since 🙄 but this would essenbe the 4th day if spotting so I don’t think this is my month bfp wise - guess i’ll wait and see how it pans out - but if I don’t get more red, do I class this as AF, if I just continue spotting i’ll be so annoyed lol! It messes up my cycle tracking lol!

Has anyone used coQ10 ?,
If I don't get my BFP this time I'm thinking of getting some especially with me been older it's supposed to be good for fertility ?
I'm currently using Pregnacare conception and vitamin D I'm having grapefruit juice will be using the cup and I have Calc fleur for 2 week wait x

@SmileyT thank you, I know I should be positive but had a BFN this morning and definitely feel as though AF is on her way. Hopefully my cycle will be back to 31 days this month.
@bellabubble sorry AF got you. June is our month 🤞🏽

AF got me this morning - sad times :(

@ejb86 I’m back in school on the 1st too - was setting up my classroom yesterday, it looks so scary with all tables/chaies 2m apart!

@SmileyT AF could arrive any time based on my recent cycles. I got AF a couple of months ago at only 5dpo. Today I'm on cd27, 3dpo. If I have a 14 day lp, which I'd love, it would end on 4the June. I'll be testing at end of may though, so next weekend, if I get that far, because I'm due in school on Monday 1st June and i think the current guidance says pregnant women shouldn't be going in.

@Renna hey you! Glad to hear ur already fast approaching another fertile window they seem to come round quite quick for u once af is out the way...if this makes u feel any better i think this cycle if a good one for u as because u had ur cycle after the mc which is a bit all over the place and wouldnt really count it, then one full cycle then this one happening now... i had my loss in feb then one full cycle and fell in the next cycle so i think this is a good chance and it sounds like ur bodys def moore back to normal now! Who knows if it was the fert lily that helped us this cycle or the calc fluor or the hcg.. ill never know but i know i was so much more relaxed about it all than that first full cycle & thats for sure and i know u were so relaxed last cycle so try to stay in that mood, also ur dog is definitely going to take ur mind off everything isnt it 🙏🌈 ill keep popping on, i really hope this ur cycle and really hope this pregnancy is a healthy one for us it's bloody scary tbh x

Aw thanks @Hayleylou89 xxx I've ordered a fert illy cup coming Tuesday:) just in time for the fertile window Thursday to start.
My Af this time is really heavy , like really surprising heavy. The last 2 since MC have been super light . Hoping it's my body resetting properly finally and with the cycle being one day longer it fits my old cycles before I got Pg. Xxx felt really down about it yesterday, I think when MC happened in march I kinda thought I'd fall again by now. But I guess it took about 4 months for us to fall last time so should maybe expect it this time, just hope it's not much more than that. Xx

Hey you lovely lot i know i got my bfp but doesnt mean i dont care about u lot im Still here for u and pray for ur bfp with any advice i can offer that may help.. if u order anythin on ebay ask for courier delivery not royal mail as my ava turned up day before yesterday after nearly a full cycle!! (bit to late but i sensed this would happen didnt i) x x
