TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 2)

@Jazper I know what you mean it's all I can think about. One of my friends fell pregnant a few weeks before my MMC she's just had her 20 week scan it seems to have flown plus a friend had her baby the other day and another friend is due any day l. The baby I lost was due on dds 2st birthday so I keep getting reminders on Facebook about this time last year and it's me and the bump or scan pics and I keep thinking that would be me now if I hadn't lost baby xx

Thank you @VP91x, and drowning yourself in grapefruit juice totally made me laugh 😂

Background for me is mc in Feb 2020, ttc first cycle but didn't track ov. Tracked using cheapies 2nd cycle and didn't see a positive. Tracked using cb 3rd cycle and got static after 5 days of flashies. Going to use cb with cheapies this month so I hopefully won't go through as many overpriced, highly annoying, flashing smilie sticks 🤣

@Dipsy77 totally get what you are saying, and something I have been giving much thought to this cycle. I too have been pregnant 4 times. All of which were very much wanted but none were properly 'tried for'. Didn't time dtd, never used an opk, etc etc. They just happened, so very easily.
Since the loss, I am so terribly desperate to be pregnant again, the pressure I am feeling is unbearable, I am sure it is hindering conception.
I am going to continue with the opk's this month, but really try to relax otherwise.

@VP91x thanks for the add. I'm in my tww 5dpo, this cycle I used ic opks, dtd every other and on day of peak and day after. I've been taking a preconception vitamin, seven seas omega 3 with evening primrose oil in them and started taking calc fluor in tww. I've also been drinking pink grapefruit juice.
Sending lots of baby dust to everyone. Xx

Hi. Can I join you ladies? I've just had my mc confirmed today with a scan. I would have been 7 wks today and my booking apt arrived in the post this afternoon. Not great timing. I've got to go back to the EPU on Thursday for more blood tests and they want me to wait for my next AF before ttc again.

Thanks for the new thread!

Thanks @VP91x xxx

I'm cycle 3 TTC after MC in March - although the first month after MC wasn't tracking, second cycle used apps and this one I'm throwing everything at it. @Dipsy77 I'm with you when I think about how when I fell pregnant I was taking nothing at all. I only continued the pregnancy vits because I'd started taking them for pregnancy then switched to the conception ones. I'm the same though - I don't want to leave anything to chance, but also don't want to get consumed.

Yet here I am now worrying about hayfever tablets - not consumed at all....Ha! @elliew818 and @dipsy77, thanks for the tips. Bit late for this cycle but maybe I'll try and lay off them. Bloody rough though when I sneeze every few seconds - hardly a turn on for OH - he wants to hit me when I sneeze.

@vp91 thanks for the new thread

Had a MMC in feb at 9.5weeks now on cycle 3 CD2.
Currently using pregnacare conception, vitamin d,
Ava bracelet, fertility cup, grapefruit juice and calc Fluor during tww. I will be trying SMEP again this month. Thinking about buying pre seed and cq10 although I keep thinking to myself I have conceived 4 times before now 3 of those were successful and the One I prepared for and took vitamins before pregnancy I lost. I also fell pregnant with 8 month old dd while on the pill and pregnancy I lost we dtd once that month. I feel like I want to step back and relax but then I worry that I'm wasting a month if you get what I mean. Anyway takeout and wine tonight and I've had coffee today, the only good thing about AF arriving xx

Thanks hun @VP91x xx

@mrsssk yeah seems to be different for everyone, hope they say all good and you get a sticky bean soon 😊

@Dizzy201 I'll ring EPU in the morning and check. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was at 210mlU when I went to EPU after my bleeding (and was 1900mlU before the bleeding 5 days earlier) so it's definitely reducing. Maybe the last few ml is just taking a bit longer to clear out of my system.

@mrsssk it took me around 3 weeks to get a negative result but my head was all over the place and I wasn't ready to try anyway, could you check with EPU? If you feel ready and they say all OK just go for it

Thanks creating the new thread.

Little update from me: following my MC bleeding stopping last Thursday/Friday, I decided to take a pregnancy test this morning. Used a cheap One Step test which says it detects Hcg at 10mlU.

I had a very very very faint positive barely visible but there. Just wondering if I should crack on and start TTC? Anyone got any experience for how long their levels took to go back to non detectable on a home pregnancy test? X
