Anyone tried cupping going for it next cycle ,helps aid fertility they say why not not only that removes bad blood increased chance of full term

Glammeup · 31/01/2018 23:17

Thanks ferny2000 yes bloody brilliant - all my eggs are in a glass basket waiting to fall

Llondbol · 01/02/2018 07:45

Hi ladies, I'd love to join this group. I've just had a MMC at 9 weeks with our first pregnancy. I had a D&C yesterday so we won't be TTC again just yet but I'd love to follow how it's going for everyone else, and join in when we start trying again. Good luck ladies, I hope 2018 is our year x

PassTheAfterEights · 01/02/2018 09:49

Thanks v v much @HoldTightPretendItsAPlan @Skittlelover @Boboelephant stopped worrying when I read your messages. Think it was a normal experience for mc at 5w. Just heading into FW, I think, oh the joys of symptom spotting and 2wwing ahead! At least we'll have some fun in the meantime.

@Llondbol so sorry, you were v kind to me when I had mine - what horrible news. Hope you are as OK as can be expected.

Llondbol · 01/02/2018 10:27

Thank you @PassTheAfterEights - I remember you too; I was so sad when I read your comment that you were out of the September Babies thread xxxx In a weird way it's comforting to know we're not the only ones from that group to miscarry, the more I read/talk about it the more I realise it's so common. How are you doing? X

PassTheAfterEights · 01/02/2018 11:38

You're so right @Llondbol, it's horrible to read about others' bad luck and equally comforting to know you're so much not alone. You must be feeling completely battered, hope you've got some TLC on tap?

I'm OK thanks, it was quite hard to accept at first but physically fine now and emotionally trying to keep perspective but a lot more cautious than I was before, prob a good thing :/ it'll be a few weeks before we have another shot but the TTC threads helps me think positive. It's funny how much I loved the light-hearted monthly TTC buses and 2ww etc and now feel a bit bruised to go back to symptom and line spotting, this is a "safer" space for me for now! Hope you are OK, thinking of you xxx

Sorry to everyone who is having such a hard time at the minute - it is utterly crap!!

This is my 2nd shot at ttc after 3rd loss so fingers crossed! Just got positive ovulation test so will have marathon s*x after telling DH 😂!! My cycles seem to be getting more 'normal', i used to ov around cd 18 but today got peak at cd 13 so will prob ov tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞, i sooo hope this is my month that leads to successful preg as i cant go through much more!

MrsMac1489 · 01/02/2018 12:14

Can't tell you all how amazed I am at the bravery of you awesome women! The lengths you all go through for your happily ever after is incredible ❤️ especially in the face of overwhelming losses and struggles. How lucky your future babies are 😘

BrokenBaubles · 01/02/2018 13:37

Hello. Sorry I've been a bit quiet. I've been back to work and simultaneously struck down with a really nasty cold. I'm wondering if it's related to the miscarriage/ERPC as it's really paying me low. Hate to take any more time off work as I've hardly been in!

Lovemysparkle · 01/02/2018 13:57

Hi all sorry for all you new lovely ladies here & for your losses😢
I can relate to each & everyone of you!! Quick update- 1mmc dec 16, cp-may 17, mc @ 7 weeks July 17 now under professor with rmc all tests clear, hystoroscopy November 17 no polyp (although they said I had polyp for nearly a year😩) back on ttc journey since November 17 no luck as yet on cd 4.
Started acupuncture 2 weeks ago for back problems & recurrent miscarriage. Admittedly me & dp going through lots of stress but not giving up!! Am trying smep as from Monday cd 8 & opks so trying all we can from every angle!!
Have got a few tips from acupuncture if anyone interested
Love to you all ❤️

di626 · 01/02/2018 14:04

@Lovemysparkle ur story resonates with me!! Im always up for tips so please share 😁😁

Lovemysparkle · 01/02/2018 14:33

di626- I have been told medically (even at 39😩) I am sound & everything is lush & healthy words from my consultant!! Since my 1st mc in dec 16 I have been so uptight & the only way I can describe is my mind & body feels lop sided if that makes sense!! I’ve tried everything to chill the hell out but to no avail! I am having weekly acupuncture & also taking 2 medications in the form of ancient Chinese herbal medicine, 1 to de-stress & re-power the body & the other is completely for the female reproductive system that has endured mc. My acupuncturist advised that after mc it needs to be strengthened so I’m doing like a press up type exercise- so stand opposite a work top/breakfast bar etc without being to close put your arms to the work top & do like standing up press ups apparently it re-strengthens your uterus (pelvic floors also good) to keep everything nice & strong for your bfp! Also fresh ginger & salt together has great qualities to revitalise/de-stress all toxins best way soaking the feet 👍🏼👍🏼

dulwichdays · 01/02/2018 14:55

Hope it’s ok for me to join this thread. We went for our 12 week scan last week and found that we’d had a silent miscarriage. Booked in for D&C last Wednesday and recovering since. Today’s the first day that my body feels more normal and I’m hoping that it’s a sign of recovery. Going to try not to put too much pressure on ourselves with TTC, but whom I kidding with that....it’s impossible not to symptom spot and monitor despite our best intentions. Hoping for a negative test when I’ve been told to test in 2 weeks and will try to see the positives that my body is back. Hoping that my cycle returns as regularly as before, but I guess there’s no certainty with that! So many unanswerable questions, but reading through this forum and thread is helping to keep me sane and positive!

di626 · 01/02/2018 15:58

Oh brill @Lovemysparkle ill try anything so thank you!! Way i see it will do no harm! Im 36 in couple of months so waiting on blood tests results for me & DH to see what way we are - scary!!

peachesarenom · 02/02/2018 00:59

Hi everyone! I've been reading but not contributing for a while because I've been feeling very down. I'm nervously excited though because I think I might have that white/lotion type cm so I could be about to have my first period post mc. I'd love that! I'd feel like my body can finally have some release from all the hormones and start again and have a fresh start. My hormones have been all over the place. I really hopr AF comes soon.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 02/02/2018 09:42

So leaving for a bit is like cutting a fucking limb off. Fml.

Where is everyone at now? Currently have had uncomfortable boobs for days, pain in my lower stomach (maybe super light feelings), and have woken up feeling a bit groggy and emotional for a couple of days too. Stupid hormones gearing up for the end of the first cycle next week. Everything is so oversensitive

Mimilicious013 · 02/02/2018 10:13

sorry have also been awol. sending hugs to all going through a difficult time. fingers crossed the trouble will be over soon.

welcome back @unicorns, it's not easy staying away until we all have our babies in our arms.

@di, best luck with lots of sexathon

l am 9dpo, bad backache and cramps. yesterday held my little nephew, 1 day old and that made me want a baby a lot more. old friend also texted me saying she is 2 months pregnant. honestly this is harder every day

I might need to go back to the EPU...

TTC after pregnancy loss. Thread 16. New Year, new hope for all!

MrsMac1489 · 02/02/2018 16:56

@UnicornsandRainbows1

What's your history again love? You've had a negative previously haven't you?? Xxx

DaisyMay25 · 02/02/2018 17:08

@UnicornsandRainbows1 I'm so sorry this isn't ending for you yet. Maybe get some more bloods done? I can't remember what your levels were at last time but I recall them being quite low

PassTheAfterEights · 02/02/2018 17:43

Oh @UnicornsandRainbows1 how annoying for you - did you ring EPU? Hope you've had some help today x

Cakelaur · 02/02/2018 18:30

@UnicornsandRainbows1 is there no way this could be new pregnancy?

MrsMac1489 · 02/02/2018 19:05

@Cakelaur @UnicornsandRainbows1
That's what I was wondering. Xx

di626 · 02/02/2018 19:12

@UnicornsandRainbows1 could it be new preg?? Are the lines not darker than the last one u took a week or do ago?
