TTC after MC - July 2020 (Part 5)

@MichT4 please just be kind to yourself, I know it's so easy to say but do try and trust your body. Sickness could be a good sign 🤞 Whatever happens we can cope with it ❤️ apart from waking up before 5am 😴 I'm all good, just trying not to wish the days away but also wishing the days away until I test again on Saturday also feeling quite a bit of heaviness down there like period is coming but I dunno 🤷🏾‍♀️ xx

@SmileyT yeah I will do that. I feel really sick this morning and have a dull pain in my lower tummy. I feel like something might be coming, but will just have to wait it out. Thanks lovely. How are you feeling today? x

@MichT4 mmm I've only ever tried the femometer hcg strips and got a +ve yesterday so not sure at what day it would go as dark as the control line. I think the only way to check would be to do the same test again tomorrow or do the same test you did last week with SMU and you'll be able to see the comparison in line? Xx

@SmileyT I had a bit of a streak of brown in my Cm this morning but only on a wipe and then it went. I don’t know what to think, not sure if something is still coming and the line will be getting lighter. Just thought it would be as dark as the control line by now x

@MichT4 that is very much positive and you haven't done a cheapie before to compare it to have you? If you'd had a CP the line would've gone back to negative already surely... keep the faith 🙏 Do not bloody panic, was there anymore spotting this morning? xx

@HE88 thanks so much, hope you are doing well ❤️

@Renna sorry you had a down day I think we all understand, have you stopped doing the opks now? It's good to read so many people have fallen pregnant with no peak that month so don't give up hope this month x

@VP91x ahh that looks so good and so glad you had a night out, you deserve it ☺️

@KatB259 sorry for your loss, I think we all understand the need to get pregnant again after a MC so you are not alone. Will you be tracking at all or just seeing how things go? x

Morning everyone.

I did something stupid and against my plan entirely. Got up at 4 ish for a wee and took a cheapie. I’m now panicking that it’s not as dark as it should be 😭
Argh I’m so annoyed with myself, why do I do it? Does anyone have any experience with these, and hopefully words of wisdom to stop me panicking?
Here they are in 2 different lights xx

@mrsk21 this will also be my first, I hadn't been trying intentionally but when it happened I just knew.
Sorry to hear about your loss.
Since I lost baby, something just switched in my head, like my focus is now all on doing things to help get pregnant again, I've got people telling me I should wait etc. But its the only thing keeping me going, just having that focus. I guess some people won't get it, but once you've had the feelings, you just know xxx

@vp91x your photo looks so lush! I love B&L! Did you go to the one near Canary Wharf? My fave is the lobster roll. So bad for me though drenched in all that delicious butter 😂 glad you had a lovely evening out x

@Northernsoul90 no worries. Yes to Calc fluor during the TWW to support implantation. I think most of the ladies here are taking 4 of them per day (2 in the morning and 2 in evening) in the TWW. You can take them throughout the cycle as they're good for other things too like cavities apparently. My only concerns are fertility related right now rather than dental 😂 so I'm just going to stick to the TWW for these when it rolls around

@KatB259 so sorry you've found yourself here. I know exactly how you feel, I never knew how much I wanted a baby until I had my mc, now it feels I'll do anything to fill that hole in my heart. Are you TTC #1 or do you have any other kids? It'll be #1 for me x

Hi everyone, just read through some of people's comments and so sorry for all your losses.
I had mmc about 6 weeks ago, worst moment of my life. Nothing will ever replace my baby bean, but I am now ttc, I've had the first period 2 weeks ago and now I'm back on the folic acid an healthy eating, even keeping away from foods you shouldn't eat when pregnant, just to be safe.
I've always wanted a baby but until I lost mine, I never realised how much. I am determined.
Lovely to see good hopeful stories 😊😊

Thank you @MrsK21 ! I will get some. Sorry for all the questions but would the calc fluor only be taken during the tww and not throughout your cycle? Does it support implantation? Xx

@Renna it's so frustrating isn't it. But like @fafi I too have conceived twice without getting any kind of peak opk. In fact I've never had a peak .. the one time I thought I'd finally got a peak opk turned out to be pregnant and it was hcg. So since that I've just used them as a rough guide and even if they get slightly darker I just assume that means ovulation is close by. I'm sure that was the case for you.. hope time goes quickly until you can test, and praying you get a lovely surprise when you do! ❤

@Northernsoul90 I got mine from amazon I'll pop the link below. CoQ10 is quite expensive but I found one which has more capsules in the pack and is reasonably priced too. I'm taking 2 of these per day. I've bought some Calc Fluor too in preparation for the TWW when it comes.

A to Z Pure Health CoQ10 100mg | Co Enzyme Q10 60 Capsules (2 Months’ Supply) | Support for Cardiovascular Health & Immune System | Made in The UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B086WMYRZP/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_4NJbFbGYHVGXE

@Renna Sorry that you have had a down day today. It can be so hard at times. Sending virtual hugs xx

Thank you both @fafi @MrsK21 I used to take a multivitamin but they were giving me headaches so switched to individual vitamins. I may add in coQ10 where did you get yours from? They have it on amazon I might order from there. I was debating on Calc Fluor as well but I’m not sure 🤔

@Renna sending you a big hug. I totally get what you mean about hoping you would be pregnant again by now but we will both be soon enough 😊.
I'm good I'm in my tww (well I think I am anyway) no idea how many dpo I am as I've not tracked but I'm on cycle day 20. Xx

@Northernsoul90 thanks lovely, we will get through this 💪🏽
In terms of supplements:
I'm taking pregnacare conception (took this before I got pregnancy first time round so it seems to do the trick so I am sticking with it) and now added 200mg daily of CoQ10 after doing some online research. OH is taking men's version of the pregnacare conception and the same CoQ10. X

@IWM20 I'm just so sorry that you're losing another pregnancy. I remember not believing this could be happening to me, it's so unfair, I'm sorry.

@Lynz2020 sorry you find yourself hear. My second pregnancy loss was almost exactly the same time and I've been trying again ever since too. I'm 40 next month so massively feeling the age pressure too x

@renna I've conceived twice without ever coming close to a positive OPK! I'd given up on them completely but has some left so used them this month and it's the first time I've ever got a peak. So hoping we've conceived a sticky one this time. But what I'm trying to say is - don't give up hope yet 🤞🏼 xx

@northernsoul90 I also take a vegan omega supplement on top of my prenatal multivitamin. I take vitamin d when I've not been outside much and calcium if I suspect I've been a bit low the day before! I guess it depends on your diet really! I'm vegan so this is the combo I've settled on x

@HE88 aw thanks hun xx
Had a down day had some tears . Just come to terms with no peak this month got me down
Just feel like I expected to get pregnant again by now.
Yeah I started opks CD12 even though I want going to do then this month... and no CD20 and no peak ... I mean it's a possibility I got peak before CD12 but unlikely ... not sure its possible to ovulate before CD12. CD12 is earliest I've had a pesk since I've been tracking
How are you xx

@Renna just saw that you started using opks but didn't get your peak maybe you did ovulate early keeping everything crossed for you. Xx
