🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 6 🌈✨🙌💞

@PamelaDoov I'm just wondering have you had your COVID booster on the last three months as I had mine in December in the TWW and January I ovulated CD19 instead of CD13 and this month CD18 so I think that may have affected my cycle? Of course I had losses both those months aswell so that also could've affected but I know a lot of women have had issues with ovulation and periods after it

@bunnykins123 yeah only pregnacare, first time I ever tried it. Started it as soon as I got a negative test after MC so it’s not like I started in the middle of a cycle and messed it up that way

@Tofu35 yeah I did think they were meant to have that effect, obviously not on me!

I’ve drummed it into my head that this month I’m not going to test and I’m going to wait for AF or hopefully if it doesn’t come a little while longer so that I don’t know if it’s a CP again. But now I’m wanting to test soooo bad!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ What to do!!! Anybody with me in the TWW waiting to test??

I’m finding it difficult to keep up with everything going on on here but I do watch and am so happy for all of you pregnant ladies. May this happy thread continue for us all 🌈

@Bridgey8 thank you, that's reassuring! Sorry to hear you're having a scary time with bleeding and fluctuating symptoms, but really glad to hear baby was ok at yesterday's scan. Keeping fingers crossed for you

@bunnykins123 so sorry to hear you've had three losses. It's so heartbreaking and I can't imagine how hard it must be to go through three times.

Got everything crossed for you @aesgriff xxx

Hi girlies, just checking in briefly on my lunch. Will catch up properly later 🥰

Very scared for scan tomorrow. Trying to stay focused on enjoying the feeling of being pregnant but my god I am shaking in my boots xx

@Skl2021 I can imagine 💕

@bunnykins123 haha I just want to make sure I try everything if that makes sense.

@PamelaDoov my cycles used to be erratic but pregnacare regulated them a lot. It's weird how things seem to impact people differently! Hope you find a pre-conception vitamin/combo of vitamins that work for you!

@PamelaDoov not pregnacare but I know there are other things like Vitex than can make periods / cycles a bit screwy. Is it only pregnacare that you're taking?

@snufkin84 I'm sorry you have bound yourself on this board and to hear about your MMC. You will find lots of support here 💕 we are similar on timelines - I started in Aug last year too but have suffered 3x early miscarriages.

@arianasky exactly the same as me. You've motivated me to up my dose now 😂 yeh I had quite a lot but I had some cloudy EWCM 2DPO too so who knows (probably messed up my cycle this month!) 🤷‍♀️

I did start taking them but only for a few days as I saw some people saying it messed their cycles and I didn’t want to risk it!

@Ganesh2022 yeah I’ve read a bit about it today. I’m going to stop taking them after this cycle (if I’m not PG) as I really don’t have time to risk anything messing my cycle up!

@PamelaDoov not me personally but I've heard that can be a thing with prenatals, not bleeding per se but cycle changes because of the vitamin doses or something like that

@snufkin84 my period after my miscarriage was quite light. I'd heard people say that it was supposed to be really heavy after a miscarriage so I panicked. But here I am... 9 weeks 🤞🏻🤞🏻 and when they scanned they couldn't see any scarring xx

@Skl2021 I constantly freak out about the symptoms - mine constantly come and go. Yesterday alongside the bleed I didn't feel sick and my boobs were fine and so I convinced myself all was over and obviously I then saw the baby just wiggling about and fine. I spoke to the midwife about it and she said it was totally normal for symptoms to come and go and by this point we should be levelling out so may well start to feel better.. she said not to worry about it at all. Yep still on progesterone - I guess if my bleed was from a burst haematoma then progesterone prob wouldn't stop that. The blood is now brown so hoping I'm just getting rid of the last bits but you're right it's so triggering. Do you think you'll have another scan? When is your 12 week? Xxx

Has anyone else ever noticed changes to their cycle when taking pregnacare conception vitamins? I’ve never had mid cycle bleeding before, even in my first cycles after giving birth or my first MC. But the last 2 months on this pregnacare, im constantly spotting all over the place, ovulation is delayed and my luteal phase was really short. Could be a coincidence but it seems weird, and a quick Google search shows me similar stories from other people. I’m going to stop using them after this cycle and go back to just folic acid and vitamin D.

Hello all, I hope it's ok for me to join you - I've not read through the whole thread but congratulations to those who have recently become pregnant and good luck to everyone waiting and hoping for that BFP. I'm lucky to have a 3.5 year old DD and have been TTC no. 2 since August 2021. I conceived in November, saw a heartbeat at my 8-week scan, but then found out I was having an MMC at 12 weeks. I had surgical management on 4th February and my period came back on Sunday. I'm relieved to see it appear so soon (I have had two negative pregnancy tests, so EPU have said the miscarriage is definitely complete) but a bit anxious about the fact that it is very light, as I've read that can be a symptom of uterine adhesions. My cycle is usually 26 days so I expect to ovulate around this time next week. Not sure how I feel about it all. I'm desperate to be pregnant again but also full of trepidation and anxiety.

@bunnykins123 I was just doing digitals in the morning last month and I got my static one of the mornings, but I’ve also got a box of cheap opks sticks so I can do afternoon and evening too.

@Skl2021 ah I'm sorry just try not to overthink as hard as it is 💕

@bunnykins123 yeah I took 75mg last month and still miscarried so upping it this cycle 🤞🏻 I've had some yeah you?

@PamelaDoov hopefully it will just be a day or 2 of flashing for you 🙏🏻

@Skl2021 I feel you! Wobbles are part of my day to day. Just stay calm - you've got this! 💕

I'm still bleeding which just terrifies me everytime I go to the loo xx

@PamelaDoov do you usually test with the flashing ones? A tip I've learnt is when you start seeing the lines on the tests getting darker, start testing in the evening too as I always get my static in the evening!

@Skl2021 I think it's naturally to have up and down days. Be gentle on yourself and try do something that'll distract you. Do you know when you will have your next scan?

@arianasky doesn't sound crazy to me at all! I'm already on 75mg aspirin and Cyclogest but may increase the aspirin to 150mg. I'm taking a whole combination of vitamins too - I think we are taking a similar amount 😂 did you get much EWCM this month?

@Skl2021 sorry you’re having a day like that. I struggle badly with anxiety and it can sometimes have no rhyme or reason to it, it’s really really hard ❤️ Do you feel sick? I’ve underestimated in the past how much feeling sick daily (tho I wish for it now—want morning sickness to start..) and not eating well bc of it can mess with my mood.

@arianasky I really hope so, and last month was a really slow rise because of my hormones all over the place after MC. Hopefully this month is a bit quicker. I’m already on CD18, ovulation shouldn’t be that far away otherwise this cycle will end up being worse than the last one!
