@Wishingfornumber2 I'm 32 and have been ttc #2 for 2 and half years also. Had a mmc in February. After a year of ttc I went to the gp I ended up being sent to a fertility clinic in April last year for investigations. Turned out I have endometriosis and had a laparoscopy in October to treat the endo, and endometrioma and had a dye test to check my tubes. I was really shocked to find out I had this as I had no issues conceiving #1. Xx

@peonyrose87 ahh fab, so in TWW now!? Yeah, I'm good actually. After my flashy earlier I done a OPK in the afternoon and it looked a little darker than I expected this early on, so CB might be along the right lines with me possibly OV early this cycle which will be nice!! I'm on CD10 xx

Thanks for the add @VP91x

@chloedancer897 I’m 33, 34 next month and had MC in July 2018. I’ve been TTC #2 on and off for about 19 months now. I notice you said you had been TTC for 2 and a half years. Have you been advised to investigate anything? Sorry not sure how to word it and sorry for personal question but I know they say to contact gp if trying for a year. I haven’t contacted anyone and been trying for 19 months. I just wondered if I should but don’t want to face it really and just want to keep optimistic that it will happen in time. It took 6 months to conceive #1. X

peonyrose87 · 09/06/2020 19:59

@VP91x I'm ok thanks lovely. I'm on CD 14, and had my peak OPK on CD 12 so it's been a busy few days! How are you?

Rainbowhope11 · 09/06/2020 19:51

@Hayleylou89 you're so sweet to hang around and check in on all of us💕 I love that😊

@VP91x thanks for starting the new thread!

Sorry, forgot to introduce myself on this thread! I'm TTC #1 since August/September last year after coming off the pill. Got my bfp at the beginning of Feb and had a MMC in March. Had to take medication to move things along as my body did not look like it was going to miscarry naturally. It's taken 9 weeks for Hcg to drop to 0. It's been a looooong wait, but I'm feeling optimistic. I'm finally feeling better, emotionally, but physically I think my body is still struggling to get into the rhythm of things pre Mc.

Welcome to all the newbies, and I'm very sorry for your losses. I hope that you find this thread comforting and supportive. The ladies on here are absolutely wonderful 💕

Thanks for the add @VP91x

I’m 9 dpo and have got terrible gut rot. Feels like a mixture of period pain and trapped wind. I’m going to try and hang on until Friday to do a test but I’m not feeling very hopeful. I didn’t have any symptoms when I conceived in November. Sad

Dizzy201 · 09/06/2020 19:25

@chloedancer897 I struggle with the cheapy ones as well, fingers crossed you get good news this month :)

Hayleylou89 · 09/06/2020 19:19

Bit about my story.
I had 23 weeks loss of our baby girl in Feb after going into sudden preterm labour 😞...She was due on Sunday, but so happy to have found out im pregnant (6 weeks today) after 2 full cycles since the loss, I used Preseed, Hubby was on Hcg injections, sevenseas vits, omega 3, ferti lily, and the Ava braclet arrived a little bit too late, I also drank grapefruit juice and took calc fluor in tww and have continued taking it after my bfp as it is recommended, Im still hanging round in these threads because Im hoping/praying for the girls in here who helped me get my bfp get theirs vvv soon i wish u all the best this cycle x 🙏🌈💙💖 x

Dizzy201 · 09/06/2020 19:13

@Dipsy77 great to hear I haven't left it 2 late (hopefully) lovely to hear a positive story

Hayleylou89 · 09/06/2020 19:03

Thanks for tagging me @VP91 💖

2020wish · 09/06/2020 18:53

@chloedancer897 welcome :) roll on the 20th :)

Sorry to hear about ur mc x

chloedancer897 · 09/06/2020 18:51

Thanks for the new add!

I'm 34 (35 next week 😭) TTC #3 after 2 1/2 years of trying and a MC in May. I've just been taking the seven seas vitamins and using the CB ovulation kits. The cheap ones never work for me. I got my static smiley on Friday so currently in my TWW and hopefully testing on the day AF due which is 20th

Dipsy77 · 09/06/2020 18:24

@Dizzy201 I'm 43 and her dd3 when I was 42 and I fell pregnant in the pill while drinking (it was over Christmas ) it can and does happen more often than you think xx

MichT4 · 09/06/2020 18:09

@elliew818 😂😂 I shouldn’t laugh at you peeing yourself, but it’s made me giggle. Sorry 🙊

My second OPK was slightly darker but still not peak. I don’t know whether to do another one but I’m really thirsty and the whole thing makes me not want to drink. I mean, I’ve got 46 tests left so I think I’ll be ok 😂

VP91x · 09/06/2020 17:59

@elliew818 ah that's annoying, completely agree if we were pregnant that we might feel that way too about being in quarantine but still upsetting to see isn't it. Xx

elliew818 · 09/06/2020 17:56

@Dipsy77 so strange, my last pregnancy had a due date same as DS as well. I hope that's going to help me not feel too down around that time because I had a bit of a meltdown around due date of MC #1. Hopefully I'll be distracted planning a 2 year old's birthday party.

2020wish · 09/06/2020 17:55

@elliew818 I know how you feel with the wanting to scream at people complaining about being pregnant. My friend who knows I’ve lost 3 this year messages me yesterday telling me all about her neighbour being pregnant and how she feels o sorry for her because she’s fed up now and just wants to go into labour and it must be awful. I just replied yea well as least she got this far I’m her pregnancy and will be holding her baby I’m a few weeks: so hurtful

elliew818 · 09/06/2020 17:50

Thanks for the thread @vp91x
@Dipsy77 that's the nasal spray, I'd forgotten what it was called so thanks!
@MichT4 I feel your pain I've been sneezing about 10 times every hour at least but only wet myself once with a surprise sneeze so I'll count that as a win 😳
@anaconda76 welcome to the thread, sorry you've so recently experienced a loss, hopefully you'll be able to start TTC soon
@Dipsy77 and @Jazper I think you're both right, there's something in the water at the minute. I've just had to unfriend someone on FB, she announced her pregnancy a day after I had my 12 week scan and found out about the fetal abnormality, so her due date is October when mine would have been...anyway she just posted a long status talking about how miserable it is being pregnant in quarantine- which she is totally entitled to feel that way but I just want to scream 'at least you are pregnant, like I should have been!'

2020wish · 09/06/2020 17:47

Didn’t see this new thread wondered why the other one was quiet 😂

Update: trying for #2 and after three early losses this year. This month I’m on grapefruit juice, smep plan, extra vit D, calc fleur, high dose folic acid, seven seas conception bits, Omega 3, co cq10. I’m planning to try progesterone cream and aspirin this month to try and help me help a pregnancy. 1dpo today and plan to test around the 19th

HopeForRainbowbaby · 09/06/2020 17:46

I'm 32, Ttc#1 with 2 MCs, one in March and the other one now in May.

HopeForRainbowbaby · 09/06/2020 17:41

Thank you @@vp91x

Rainbowhope11 · 09/06/2020 17:18

Hi @mrsssk I'm sorry for your loss ❤️ it seems like your levels are dropping nicely. My experience was not as fast. It took me 9 weeks to drop to "0". I found that towards the end when Hcg was low, it started taking longer to drop. The final drop was as follows:

15 April - 86
4 May - 10
15 May - 5
27 May - 3 (regarded as a negative)

So you can see, the final stretch took a bit long for me. It's different for everyone though, unfortunately it's just a waiting game. But having said that, I've read lots of stories of ladies ovulating and getting pregnant while still having a little bit of Hcg in their system, so no harm in trying 😊❤️

VP91x · 09/06/2020 17:02

@peonyrose87 how are you hun? What CD are you on?

@anaconda76 welcome ❤️ so sorry you are going through your loss. Have they said why they want you to wait for next AF? X

@Jazper haha, I literally am drinking so much because I discovered absolutely love the taste. Hope it is my lucky drink 😂
It really is alot to take on when you are actively TTC it is like our minds can't switch off!

@VP91x I've been taking coq10 for 3 months due to my age, figured it couldn't hurt and I wanted to make sure was taking all the right supplements before we started trying, if anything I feel it gives me an energy boost at the very least

@Dipsy77 and @Jazper

I feel the same about wanting to be pregnant after the loss, does anyone else think more people are falling with this lock down or an i just noticing it more?

Had anyone had good results with Coq10 or other supplements? I keep worrying I'm to old to conceive and feeling we have maybe left it 2 late to have one together x
