Hi,

So today after a BFN at 12dpo and period due tomorrow I'm about to start cycle 8 after we lost our wee boy halfway along our pregnancy last July. I had Day 21 bloods done on Thursday so awaiting results for those, but wondering if there's maybe something that has worked for others that I haven't heard of? Any advice at all would be welcome, I'm really struggling with this failed cycle today and have just sorted myself out after a bit of a teary meltdown 🙈 So far I:

Use One Step OPKs from CD8 onwards
Use Preseed
DTD every other day in window
Take a prenatal
Take EPO until ovulation
Eat pineapple core 1-5dpo

and this last month I have cut out alcohol and caffeine.

What worked for you? Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance ❤️

After 16 months ttc and 4 mc along the way, the month I got my bfp that seems to be sticking so far I did

Temping using ovusense
Opk’s too
Soy isoflavones days 2-6
Conceive plus lubricant every time we dtd
Dtd 8 days in a row over fertile window
Stayed lying down after dtd for around 30 minutes
Drank pomegranate juice from 6dpo
Took 150mg aspirin from 1dpo

Since getting the bfp am now also on daily progesterone pessaries.
