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?!?!

@Sparklesurprise29 one of the main things I took from it was of your body is cold then your blood won't flow properly to all your organs. For example when you have cold hands you can't move them very well? So the aim is to warm the uterus and get good blood flow!

Thank you!

You can get a free consultation with Ginsen via WhatsApp so it's really good.

@claremc1983 its typical isn't it! The best times to DTD always seem to fall at the most awkward timesGrin
@FieldView so sorry for your lossFlowers I used the seven seas conception vitamins prior to falling pg but it did happen quickly (cycle 2) so I only know they didn't affect the length of cycle 1 which stayed at my regular 29 days. It feels sad going back to conception vitamins rather than the pregnancy ones I started after getting pg but feeling hopeful Flowers
@Hopingforarainbow27 what medicine did she recommend? I do struggle with cold feet, hands etc. Anything is worth a shot maybe

claremc1983 · 23/12/2021 08:55

Ladies how did you find your first AF after MC. Mine seemed to turn up at around 4/5 weeks after. I was a bit crampy which I don't normally get, i had a reasonably heavy flow for 4 days. Then a little bit of spotting but this morning it seems to be a heavier flow again. WTF 😳 is this normal? I just want to get back to normal and start TTC...argh x

claremc1983 · 23/12/2021 08:40

@FieldView welcome and I'm so sorry for your loss...xx

Hopingforarainbow27 · 22/12/2021 21:58

I know the midwife told me it's just bad luck. I spoke to a Chinese medicine dr and she asked me loads of questions about my cycle and if I have cold feet (bad circulation) etc and she advised I wait and take some herbal medicine to get my womb as healthy as possible for a baby to live in for 9months. My periods have been less painful and pms has completely gone so I'm hoping I get a bfp and it sticks next time. I will never know why or if any of this worked but at least I tried my best.

FieldView · 22/12/2021 21:32

That's useful, thanks. There's nothing obvious that I can put my finger on. I'm 34 and my DH is 42 and as we'd been trying for (nearly) a year I've had my bloods checked and DH has had a sperm count = all ok. I've worked on eating better and losing the excess weight during 2021, and I don't smoke and rarely drink. I've been told it's just "one of those things".

I was thinking of investing in some his'n'hers conception multivitamins though... but I think I read somewhere that they can meddle with your cycle a bit?!

It really is a minefield isn't it!

Hopingforarainbow27 · 22/12/2021 21:23

I waited a few months to try get healthy as I wasn't sure what caused the miscarriage so I wanted to make sure I did everything possible to have a healthy womb etc but everyone is different. It depends what your reasons for miscarriage are. Mine could have been bad quality eggs/sperm so I've focused on eating well etc to improve this.

FieldView · 22/12/2021 21:06

Thank you!! It's really is rubbish, isn't it!! After a year TTC I thought we'd finally cracked it, but it's back to the drawing board instead...

I'm a bit nervous about trying again before AF arrives, but I know there's no real reason no to start once you've had the negative pregnancy test. Any advice from those of you who are further along than me? Did you wait or crack straight on? Any advice welcome so I can start gearing myself up!

Hopingforarainbow27 · 22/12/2021 20:18

Sorry @FieldView 🤍 it's rubbish!!

Skl2021 · 22/12/2021 20:03

Hi ladies, room for another one please? I had an MVA yesterday (9+4) for an anembryonic pregnancy picked up at 8 weeks at a private "reassurance" (pah!) scan. This is my first pregnancy, and so my first miscarriage.

I've been quietly lurking in the background since the MMC was identified on the 10th and it's really been some comfort to know I'm not alone.

Looks like this might be quite a long journey though!

claremc1983 · 22/12/2021 19:15

@Sparklesurprise29 mine are looking a bit like that! Guaranteed it'll be positive over Christmas and we'll have to DTD when staying at my parents 😆 x

claremc1983 · 22/12/2021 18:45

@Skl2021 decided to have a night off! Pickled my liver over the last few weeks..🙈😆 need to be good! Enjoy the wrapping tonight..😫😆..hope u can get AF out the way soon! X
