Ttc after miscarriage 🤞🌈✨

Just a thread for any ladies ttc after a miscarriage! Nice to get some support from people going through the same thing. So I had a MMC at ten weeks nearly three weeks ago now. I'm still getting faint positive on tests. My ovulation tests are still all over the place possibly due to the HCG still being in my system. So not totally accurate right now. So I'm currently stuck in limbo land either waiting for ovulation or my period 🤔 any ladies want to join the journey?!?!

@theblueflowers I feel the same :( first pregnancy I was relieved to get to 8 weeks, happy at 12 weeks but I hadn’t been worried. Next time I won’t even be able to get to 20 weeks without worrying. It has taken all the fun out of pregnancy. Telling family & friends about the pregnancy won’t even be nice or exciting.

theblueflowers · 13/01/2022 10:29

So sorry to hear how much some of you are struggling. It is such a rollercoaster in terms of emotions, it can feel so overwhelming at times.
I really miss the naïve excitement in my first pregnancy, and feel so sad that I'll never have that innocence again.

PamelaDoov · 13/01/2022 10:14

@calimc83 I really hope this is the last of it Sad

calimc83 · 13/01/2022 10:10

@arianasky same. I need to take a step back I think and start looking after myself and try and find some better coping mechanisms as well. On a whim last night I booked a reflexology session with a therapist who specialises In fertility, I know people take alternate therapies with a pinch of salt but even if it helps with just getting me to relax I think it'll be a good thing x

arianasky · 13/01/2022 10:06

@calimc83 I'm sorry 💕 I know it is hard I just want to be a mother and it's honestly taking over my life it's all I can think about I feel crazy at the moment

calimc83 · 13/01/2022 10:06

@PamelaDoov I bled on and off for weeks after my MC..it's a right pain x

PamelaDoov · 13/01/2022 09:46

Since Monday not Saturday, but even so!

PamelaDoov · 13/01/2022 09:45

Urgh I’ve started bleeding again today Sad nothing since Saturday so why now!

calimc83 · 12/01/2022 22:53

@arianasky I'm so sorry to hear that. I can imagine it would really hit you hard especially if you haven't really processed Oct's MC properly as well. I think the grieving process is so long and drawn out. I have good and bad days. Last few days have been bad as AF arrived after our first month TTC...it's just heartbreaking 💔 x

arianasky · 12/01/2022 21:05

@calimc83 not great tbh, this one has really hit me, it's like I didn't grieve properly in October and suppressed my feelings and they both have hit me now together 😔 I feel such a letdown it's horrible. I'm now just getting a brown tinged discharge when I wipe, I'm hoping that it goes soon and I can take my mind off it. How are you?

calimc83 · 12/01/2022 19:08

@arianasky how are you holding up? X

Ganesh2022 · 12/01/2022 19:06

@theblueflowers I take Viridian brand; I do have PCOS..well, hormones are (were?) normal but cysts on ovaries. I used to have nightmare cycles, anywhere from regular to every 3 months and one time a record, ironic, 9 months without a cycle. I know not the magic cure for everyone but since starting this stuff I've had regular-ish 31-35 days.

theblueflowers · 12/01/2022 18:59

@Ganesh2022 I've had nightmare irregular cycles since coming off the implant in August 2019; one was 73 days! To be honest I was shocked that I could even get pregnant- it took us around 6 months but I only had 3 periods in that time! I'm hoping that ovusense will actually give me a clearer idea of my cycle, although I am a little worried about how it might take over my life...
I have always suspected that I may have PCOS as I have some of the markers, but something reassuring to come from this experience is that from my scan they could see that I had no actual cysts on my ovaries. They said that could mean it's an androgen imbalance that I may look into.

Can I ask what brand and form of myo-inositol you were using? I was taking conceive plus capsules which I think does contain some measure of it, but they are not cheap and you have to take 4 a day! I'm not sure if they did help or if it was just chance, but it can't hurt to try again.

arianasky · 12/01/2022 18:00

Thank you @Ganesh2022

Ganesh2022 · 12/01/2022 17:25

@theblueflowers thx, will you update us re whether it's useful? Have you always had irregular cycles? I used to and mine stabilised, but obviously not sure what will happen now. Myo-inositol worked miracles in stabilising my cycles--in case that helps anyone!

theblueflowers · 12/01/2022 17:03

@Ganesh2022 re your post earlier this morning- I have bought an ovusense- the one you put inside you as I have wildly irregular cycles (I'm averaging 55 days!)

Haven't used it yet, but hoping it might give me a bit more of an insight. I have tried OKPs but I I tend to get a few surges in a cycle so I'm never quite sure when I ovulate.

Ganesh2022 · 12/01/2022 15:25

She said it was to "make the body strong" and he said there can be an advantage to starting sooner in terms of heightened fertility, but neither said there was a risk to the alternative. I think it was more for emotions and overall health. He has known me for years, where she is someone I tried out as it was much nearer to home, and I wonder if maybe he knows that for my anxiety I won't be able to just sit on it, where she thought she was talking to a rational human being lol Hmm

calimc83 · 12/01/2022 15:08

@Ganesh2022 I'm with you the the least stressful option! Did they say why to take a break? Is it to let hormones settle? X

Ganesh2022 · 12/01/2022 14:59

Interesting, I went to one acupuncturist who said wait 3 months (didn't feel I had time, though I'd love to wait a year tbh) and one who said try right away. So I might split the difference...I think, barring medical necessity, for me I need to do what causes the least stress, though not sure what that is lol that's the problem. I don't think I have it in my to dtd regularly throughout the cycle Blush, blahhhhh. Wish I did!

calimc83 · 12/01/2022 14:54

@Hopingforarainbow27 will do! X

Hopingforarainbow27 · 12/01/2022 14:53

Look up Gin-sen London. They do a free consultation. It definitely helped me and my period went from 35 to 28 @calimc83

calimc83 · 12/01/2022 14:51

@Hopingforarainbow27 right.yeah that makes sense. Thanks, will look into them x
