Lost my perfect little baby at the end of October. I was 15 weeks, baby was gone since 13 weeks. Planning to start ttc again in January. I am devastated and finding it hard to cope. Also extremely nervous about being pregnant again. Yet the need to have a living baby in my arms, outweighs the crippling fear. This little baby was my first too.

I’m in my first cycle of trying to conceive since my MMC. Currently tracking when I will ovulate, and taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamin, along with some extra vitamin D. Wondering if I need to start cutting back on caffeine too

As per the it starts with an egg book - food choices = important

Fertility foods - snack on carrot
And blueberries & baby tomatoes

@Chaz693 i have been TTC for so long that I only take the folic acid currently as it gets expensive, and will use the pregnacare pregnancy products if/ when I conceive. There is a “pregnacare conception” product too which I would recommend. I have only been pregnant following IVF so it feels like a miracle would need to happen for it to happen naturally…

How is everyone else getting on this month?

@Retailchick thank you! I'll have a look all seems to be so much choice I never know what to pick!

thanks ladies. I still don’t really believe it to be honest. I feel like I’m expecting it to be negative tomorrow or something. I certainly feel less joyous this time which is really sad. I think having a loss maybe does that doesn’t it

Deffo - pregnancy after loss is hard

moosey89 · 22/01/2024 19:32

Yup I have both times. It's settled down now, took a few months both times. Still no idea why it happened 😂

Retailchick · 22/01/2024 13:57

@Nic2908 That’s amazing! Feeling tempted to do an early test after seeing this!

worldwidetravel2017 · 22/01/2024 13:04

Nic2908 · 22/01/2024 06:46

OMG there’s a line!! It’s got more colour in it in person. Oh my god!! 10dpo I think? Oh my god!!!

Congrats

Anyone have any experience of spotting between periods after a loss? I had my first period after my miscarriage a couple of weeks ago, should be around ovulation now but I've noticed a bit of spotting last few days. Feeling really worried, is it a sign something could be wrong? We're really hoping to get pregnant this cycle so have been dtd every other day or so.

Jmz · 22/01/2024 09:58

@Nic2908 Can definitely see it! congratulations! Xx

Bey · 22/01/2024 07:57

@Nic2908 definitely a line!!!! Huge congratulations to you

thank you so much @Hopingrae gutted for you that it's not your month this month, I felt similar with hormones when mine arrived.

Hi everyone - hope it’s ok for me to join. I’m 8DPO and convincing myself I am pregnant… again… the 2WW drives me insane every time, even when I tell myself I’m not allowed to get my hopes up. Have a 2yo DS conceived via IVF and miscarried on my second IVF pregnancy last summer.
I have unexplained infertility so have been trying naturally for a few months as I don’t think I can emotionally do another cycle of IVF, but this month I feel different. Very sore boobs, and a bit nauseous… maybe it’s in my head. Wondering when I can feasibly test?
Why is TTC such a rollercoaster for some of us?!

When i was preg - had v sore boobs
Fingers xed

Really struggling today as it was at my scan last Sunday at 3pm that we found out we'd had a missed miscarriage.
I keep thinking "this time last week" when we were happily oblivious to what was about to happen.
I just want time to move faster so we can TTC again 😔

@123456789ss I feel the same. It will be a week tomorrow since I started having my miscarriage and I'm dying to be able to get back to ttcing. Xx

@Chaz693 it took 2.5 weeks for me to get a negative test after surgical management both times xx

@Chaz693 so horrible to see positive tests when you're waiting for negative. Mine took about 5 weeks, was literally day or two before first AF started. First MMC only took a couple of weeks so found that hard. How many weeks post are you?

@Bey weds isn't too far away! That's when I'm expecting AF to arrive, I'm half a cycle behind you. Wish you so much luck with this cycle. I started spotting late morning today which is my usual lead in to period. At least that will stop me testing like a crazy person! It was kind of a relief, means I know where I stand this month. On to the next round!

@Gracie1825I'll be with you for the next cycle, hopefully we're getting another cycle closer to our BFP.

@Hopingrae

I started miscarrying on Monday so it's not even been a week yet, I was only 6 weeks so I assumed it would go down quickly coz I was so early but I'm impatient to try again. I guess it's purely coz I now feel like I'm missing something. It was like this with my other miscarriages too. Just hate this feeling. I guess I'm just looking for something to look forward. X

@worldwidetravel2017

Thank you. Just thought I'd check today as my levels had dropped massively in the two days between my blood tests I almost assumed that in another couple of days it would be back at zero. But I'll give it a week and hope the test comes back negative then. X

worldwidetravel2017 · 21/01/2024 12:52

Chaz693 · 21/01/2024 12:24

How long did it take for everyone's levels to go back to 0? First time in my life I've been sad to see a positive test still.

Mine went back within a week

But the miscarriage had kinda happened a bit b4 we realised we think
