Hi all,

A thread for the ladies from the recent MC/MMC group and for anybody else who wants to join us as we discuss getting our cycles back on track after MC and starting to TTC again x

@AMS19 oh what a shame acupuncture wasn’t what you hoped for. Mind you, will save you some money going forwards!!
@Pettylamby AMAZING!!! So happy for you! 🎉🎉 this really is turning into a lucky thread, makes me so happy and hopeful 🤞
@Ralala the sperm comment made me laugh!! My hubby said the same thing to me the other day - like he was some sort of super sperm machine ready to fire!! 🤣

@Cienega we did try last month but it turned out to be futile as I still had residual hcg in my blood 11 weeks post ercp despite perfect ovulation /temping. This is our first month therefore of trying with some actual level of hope.

PlantMummy87 · 08/03/2021 19:29

@Cienega I'm so sorry what you are going through. My partner and I didn't plan to start trying straight away but when it came to it we did try but it didn't happen for us. In my first proper cycle post miscarriage and hoping this is the cycle.

I take a multi-vit which has folic acid in, and omega 3 and 100mg co-enzyme q-10. Also been seed cycling this month as the month I fell pregnant I'd been doing that. This cycle have added drinking pomegranate juice/adding pomegranate seeds to porridge/smoothies pre ovulation after these lovely ladies suggested it is good for building up your lining.

AMS19 · 08/03/2021 19:15

Sorry @Cienegadidnt see your message! I'm sorry it's totally shit. I started trying straight away but no luck so far. This is my first cycle after a proper period so hoping things are getting on track!

Supplement wise I take pregnacare and 300mg of Ubiquinol. I also drink POM juice, follow a medderterranean diet and am doing seed cycling. I had fertility acupuncture today and didn't think it was worth the money. But given how reccomended it is I'm going to try "normal" acupuncture (which is half the cost) on a weekly basis I think! Xx

Mellous · 08/03/2021 18:59

@Cienega hi lovely, hope you’re recovering well from your surgery. Sorry you’re going through this. I had surgery in January, I did try again as soon as bleeding stopped but didn’t catch that time. I’ve now had a period and am waiting to see if this cycle was a success! I’m not sure about needing to wait because of the lining, I was told that they advise to wait for dating purposes only.

Supplement wise I just take pregnacare conception supplements, and have been drinking Pom juice! I’m not the most clued up on supplements so hopefully one of the other ladies can advise xx

Thanks @dippyegg32 and @AMS19, yeah I completely agree definitely can't be one size fits all. I'll look on fertility friend and hopefully that will help ease my worry ☺️

I've been feeling so hopeful about this cycle as everything seems to be stabilising and feel like this is throwing a curve ball that made me start thinking this won't be the cycle for me. Need to stay positive and believe that it is the one.

AMS19 · 08/03/2021 18:51

@PlantMummy87 I totally agree with @dippyegg32 the only thing I've seen a concern is temps being too high. You can go onto fertility friend and search charts with different filters such as average pre O temps, pretty sure that would put your mind at ease!

dippyegg32 · 08/03/2021 18:48

36.8-37*

dippyegg32 · 08/03/2021 18:46

I think I'm the opposite @PlantMummy87 so probably very unhelpful but my pre ovulation temps are 36.40ish, cover line 36.68 and post ovulation temps are currently 36.8-36.9. Surely there's no one size fits all?

Everything crossed for you @Pettylamby

Just had my first fertility acupuncture session. She was very thorough with things and took down my last two cycles BBT and the BBTs from the month I fell pregnant. She said that my temps are a little bit on the low side and that we need to work on getting them up a bit. I'm now worrying about the possibilities of there being a thyroid issue as that can cause temps to be lower. I've never had a thyroid blood test as never had a reason to. I've always had temps around 36.00°c pre ovulation rising to around 36.40°c post. Last month things were a bit all over the place and temps were lower but still had a rise. Not sure if I'm worrying over nothing as although my temps are on the lower side I've read that as long as it isn't lower that 35.60 pre ovulation then it isn't really an issue. Has anyone else had any advice or issues with this before? Scared that if we try and raise temps then everything will go out of whack again.

Congratulations to all of those with BFPs, amazing news! So lovely to see a thread full of hope!
Just finished my first period after suffering a MC at the end of January. Hoping to try again this month. Fingers crossed to everyone Smile

wag1987 · 08/03/2021 18:33

@Pettylamby fingers crossed for you

Neady1980 · 08/03/2021 18:11

@Pettylamby keeping everything crossed for you,praying its IB 🤞🤞🤞

AMS19 · 08/03/2021 17:57

...you!

AMS19 · 08/03/2021 17:57

@Pettylamby I have everything crossed for

Pettylamby · 08/03/2021 17:40

Thank you everyone! But we defo need to hold our breaths...just went to the toilet and there is brown spotting! Which could either be pre-af spotting or IB which I did get last time... Everything crossed please 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

DMT1982 · 08/03/2021 17:23

@Pettylamby whoooohoooooo things absolutely come in 3’s massive congrats that’s a BFP xxxx

DMT1982 · 08/03/2021 17:21

@AMS19 I wouldn’t entirely write off acupuncture then but like you say maybe normal acupuncture at a fraction of the price or reflexology. If you’re feeling lighter though it may have done something xx

wag1987 · 08/03/2021 17:10

@Mellous aw thank you yes I’ve read mixed reviews so wasn’t sure but think up give them a go this month and see what happens

Last chance to have a 2021 baby

Neady1980 · 08/03/2021 17:02

@Pettylamby that's a BFP woohoo, they say it comes in 3's congratulations 🌈🌈.
I was holding out till the day AF was due but my god I'm eager to test. 7dpo today, and stomach has been feeling quite sick all day

AMS19 · 08/03/2021 17:01

@Pettylamby yes!!!! Well, they say good things come I'm 3's and that's 3 beautiful BFPs!! What an amazing start to the thread, over the moon!!

Mellous · 08/03/2021 16:52

@wag1987 yes we’ve had three positives here now! I’m currently 6dpo, my first cycle after my first period post mc. Not feeling that optimistic tbh!!

I used Cb digital this month and really liked it. I had 5 flashing smiley (high days) until cd17 where I got my static (peak), according to my temps I ovulated cd18! I don’t really get on with the normal opk tests, I think as I drink too much water during the day so can only really test in the morning which is when the Cb digital recommends you test x

wag1987 · 08/03/2021 16:47

I’ve finally been able to read some of the thread and still few pages to go but pleased to see some positives :) which makes me feel hopeful

What’s others views on clear blue ovulation tests I read good and bad about them?

Mellous · 08/03/2021 16:43

@Pettylamby awww it’s a bfp! Wow that’s three now. So so happy for you.

@Bowwow89 so sorry to hear about your recent mc. I think it is totally personal preference and if you and your feel mentally ready to try again. Doctors usually advice to wait for a period before trying again, that’s what I was advised but was told it was just to make it easier to date a new pregnancy. I did try before my first period but wasn’t successful. I’ve now had my period and I’m in the tww to see if we were lucky this time!
