Little background started trying in May 2025. Conceived in June however had a MMC at 12 week. Scan end of August, ended in medical miscarriage at the start of September.
I had a chemical beginning of December.
baby number 1 was so easy and quick and I’m struggling atm with two losses, the new year and no pregnancy :(
I am looking to start a thread so that women in a similar situation can post and share their experiences on what can be a very lonely ttc journey ❤️

I am CD2 xx

Hi everyone ❤️
I have been on my fertility journey for 18 months with 3 early miscarriage. Been back trying for the last 3 cycles since last miscarriage. Period came today :/

I have a 6 year old son from a previous relationship.

Hi, I am also TTC number 2. I had a MMC in early November & getting frustrated that my cycles arent back to any kind of normal yet.

Orchidqueen05 · 06/01/2026 15:56

We are also TTC no2. Had a very lucky journey having our DS who is 3. After 10 cycles I conceived in June 2025 but suffered a MMC at our 12 week scan which I found completely devastating. Have TTC again for 4 cycles so far but no luck yet.

Thanks so much for offering to ask about this! ❤️
I also heard that it can be prescribed for ‘sticky blood’ but that this is quite difficult to fully assess and it has helped people
without this issue being diagnosed. Also heard that it does not do ‘harm’ when taken in low doses. One of the things I heard that it couldimprove blood flow to the uterus? I think there was a very large US study about it and it I think has shown positive results if taken consistently?

That’s interesting about the study on low dose aspirin 🤔

I spoke to the EPU nurse about this she said everyone is different and they would not recommend unless you need it. She told me to do some research on it haah. I have and from what I have seen there is no harm in taking a low dose daily. I have a appointment with my private doctor tomorrow to talk through some of my blood results I’ll ask the question and see what he says and let you know :)

I was curious - has anyone tried taking baby aspirin? I’m 40 so was prescribed it from 12 weeks - did not make it that far with the pregnancy in the summer however. I heard of people taking it from their BFPs - esp if had history of miscarriages - not sure if anyone had any experience of this? X

hi everyone, can I also join?
@peepsypops congratulations on your BFP! It’s so difficult to just be excited after precious losses. Keeping fingers crossed for you and that progesterone and blood meds help things!

I am also trying for baby number 2 - we started trying in April’25 and fell pregnant in July but had MMC at around 7 weeks, which was devastating. Took couple months off and this is first month TTC agin. I wasn’t tracking ovulation this month, cycles have been pretty regular even after the MMC so I should be about 2-3 days DPO or around that. I usually get quite obvious ovulation pains on alternate sides each month. Had my progesterone tested on day 21 in Dec and came back good levels.
Wishing everyone so much luck and baby dust! ❤️

Hi both ❤️
@TupATea so sorry to hear about your miscarriage and struggles of trying for your first. From what people have told me the fact that you can get pregnant is a good sign, so a pregnancy after second month of trying looks promising for T
TC2 I hope this is your month ❤️
@peepsypops congratulations on your BFP. It’s so hard to not think negatively especially when you’ve been through so much. I have my fingers crossed for you that this will stick ❤️ I spoke to EPU nurse recently who advised that progesterone won’t do no harm even if not required. Try to stay positive I know it’s hard. How many weeks are you ? Xx

I have also gone private and I’m waiting some blood results. my guess is I will also be put on progesterone but I’ll wait and see.

Hi everyone, thank you for setting this thread up. I have been TTC for 2 years and just got a BFP on 30th Dec.

DC was born in 2023 and conceived without issue. Started trying when she turned one and wow, it’s been a journey! Two MMC in 2024, took a mental health break for 4 months as I couldn’t do it anymore and have a positive now after 8 cycles.

The thing is I’m finding it impossible to be positive about this - in my mind there is no way it’s going to work. The nights are the worst as my husband goes to bed early for work and I sit here and overthink and panic. I’m worrying my anxiety is going to cause the baby issues. I’m on progesterone and blood thinning injections as a precaution but all my tests showed up normal (private - NHS didn’t want to know) so I’m not convinced it will help. I have progesterone for MMC2 and it didn’t prevent it.

im really worried that another MC will break me. 🙁 sorry for the trauma dumping!

Hi, I’d love to join you. Sorry to hear about your MMC and chemical - it’s so tough. I am also TTC number 2 and also had a MMC last year (found out at scan at 10.5 weeks in October) and ended up having the vacuum surgery. I’m in cycle 2 now (I think) and on 8dpo (pretty sure - I used the clear blue ovulation kit this month so feel pretty confident about date).

Our first was not quick, it took us almost 2 years to fall pregnant but the pregnancy I had last year, we got pregnant on cycle 2 of trying so it felt amazing to be free of the identity of being someone who struggles to conceive. Now I have no idea if it will be same case again - I try not to go there in my head!

It’s a lovely idea to start a thread like this - it is very lonely and not something I like to talk about too much with people IRL.

xx
