TTC after MC - October 2021 thread 20

@susiebluebell thank you for your advice. Been really trying to have a healthy lifestyle. Being labor and delivery nurse is just not helping me as I’m seeing pregnant patients all the time. So jealous of my patients that I’m even more desperate to get pregnant 😐

@Treesaa Hoping that I will ovulate this cycle. Fingers crossed.

I just bought Coq10 300mg online and will try to drink 2 glasses of grapefruit juice to help with cm. Has anybody here tried drinking grapefruit juice?

Baby dust to all of us✨

@Mmeow Honestly it's soo normal to have a confused cycle for a while after MC. Keep doing what you're doing and it'll straighten out. Healthy eating, movement every day, sleeping... All really important. It'll happen! Xx

@Mmeow

I'm sorry to hear that AF showed up. If your mc was in Sept I'm thinking cycle next month should be normal. I'm going off my experience, had MMC in August and my first normal cycle is this one in November.

I’m out. AF finally came and it was just CD19. Hopefully my cycle will return back to normal. It’s just so frustrating! Had mc first week of September and until now my cycle’s all over the place.

@Mmeow
How are you? Are you still spotting/bleeding?

Thank you @Elciekay. My MMC was one of the worst things that I’ve experienced. Felt as if maybe a second baby just wasn’t meant to be. Never thought that 7 months after my MMC that I’d see a BFP never mind making it to 21 weeks! I really really hope that you get your own BFP soon. Please don’t give up hope x

@Mmeow thank you! I think I'll order some Co Q-10. I've managed to panic myself over EWCM because I don't believe I've experienced it for about 4 years but never knew what it was until recently.

Congrat @bubblybrit and @susiebluebell you give me hope! X

@Elciekay welcome to the thread!

I just started opk this month just for me not to guess on when I should be ovulating and be able to DTD right on time. I’ve read that Co Q-10 300mg once a day will help with producing good egg quality. Pre seed lubricant has good reviews if you don’t have a lot of EWCM but I haven’t tried it personally.

I can’t figure out if I’m having AF because my spotting turns to more bleeding but not enough to soak a pantiliner. This is so confusing since today is only CD19

Hi everyone! I've been here lurking and was on the last thread too. I'm 31 and started TTC in April 21 and got bfp in June. Had mmc August at 11+4 and an MVA the next week.

Waited 52 days for next AF and then pretty sure either didn't ovulate or ovulate super early. Then had normal 28 day cycle but AF came.

Currently waiting to see if AF arrives in the next week if cycle remains at 28 days as it was before mmc.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips to try over the next few months to help? I've recently signed up with a PT to try to get my BMI under 30, taking a pre conception multi vitamin and don't drunk but hoping there's other things to try?

Lots of love to all x

@susiebluebell. Yes I think I’ll start to relax a little bit and try and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy. That’s great news that’s you’ve reached 6 weeks. I’m sure that everything will be absolutely fine. The fear of a mc never really goes away but it does ease a little with each passing week x

Thank you @Mmeow. Fingers crossed that you get your BFP soon x

@bubblybrit congrats on your baby girl!!!❤️

@susiebluebell happy to hear that you’re finally enjoying being pregnant. Just think positive and stay calm. I know it’s easier said than done specially after having miscarriage but I believe in the law of attraction that positive thoughts will bring positive results🙂

I’m 3DPO today if I will based my ovulation from my opk that didn’t had any surge but kinda dark on CD11 and it was same ovulation date with my flo app. Had spotting earlier and I know its still very early to consider this as implantation bleeding but quite sure I ovulated already as there’s no EWCM since yesterday. I’m just hoping its not impending AF. Last month I had spotting for 7 days before AF arrived. I’m really really hoping for BFP by the end of the month.

PS no haven't got through to the GP yet! I'll be on her case again tomorrow!

@bubblybrit Ah amazing! I knew it would all be fine Soooooo happy for you, seeing your DAUGHTER! Perhaps you will be able to enjoy it more from now on? Xx

I've tested again and definitely still pregnant, 6 weeks today. It's come so soon after the MC that it's a bit mind-boggling. Thankfully today I've been able to stay at home and just enjoy thinking about it all day 😂

The fear of another MC hasn't left me, but I'm soooo enjoying being pregnant here and now. Feeling really positive. Hope everyone else is having a good week xx

@susiebluebell. I’m just home from my scan. All went well. Little miss wasn’t the most cooperative so the scan pic is a little rubbish but the main thing is that she is thriving 😀 have you heard from your GP yet? X

@bubblybrit How has your scan gone? Everything crossed for you! Xx

@Mmeow
Thank you for replying, I'm glad to know that I'm not out yet

@Treesaa sperm usually lives for 72 hours so you’re still covered if you DTD last night

Congrats @susiebell :), do let us know how you get on. Welcome to everyone who just joined and I'm so sorry for your loss.. It does get better, please take it one day at a time.

Can i ask for some advice ladies? I'm using clearblue digital and yesterday was my peak day. We BD'd last night. This afternoon ovulation pains started so I'm definitely ovulating. But DH is absolutely refusing to have sex tonight as he is tired and I don't have it in me to beg/coax/seduce tonight. Is there any hope for me this month or should I just write it off and make plans for next month?

Hi @Mmeow welcome! I personally never had much luck with OPKs, but then I've got suspected PCOS, and they often aren't reliable if you have a condition with hormonal imbalances like that. Not sure if that's the case for you? Either way, hormones will take a while to settle after MC so I wouldn't worry. Frequent sex from about halfway into your cycle is good

@bubblybrit Haven't got through to the GP yet! Will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Been following this thread and it really gave me some comfort that I’m not alone. Hope you ladies wont mind if I join. I’m 36 already, fell pregnant after 2 months of TTC baby #1. Had mmc last september at 8 weeks, bled naturally and after 2 weeks hcg tested negative. Not quite sure if I ovulated during my first cycle as I didnt use any opk at that time. Had heavy spotting which I guess would be my AF.

Now desperately TTC and on my CD17, according to flo app I ovulated last nov13 but I didnt get any surge from my opk. Got the cheap ones from amazon and I’m getting dark line but not as dark sa the control line then light line again then dark line again. Its just so confusing Im not sure if I just missed it but were DTD almost everyday since CD10 so hoping for BFP by the end of the month!

Congrats to those who got their BFP!!!

Hopefully they can book you in soon @susiebluebell. I’m sure all is fine but good to have that extra reassurance.

You’ll need to let me know how you get on x

@bubblybrit Based on how willing she was to have me in for a scan if I wanted during my last miscarriage, I think the GP would definitely be up for getting me an early scan. She even told me when to phone so they could get one booked for the next day. I'm filling out the form right now

Anomaly scan just round the corner

@susiebluebell. Oh and I am going very well thank you. Counting down until the anomaly scan on the 17th xx

@susiebluebell. I’m so glad that things have settled down. Would the EPU offer an early scan at this stage for reassurance? Xx
