TTC after MC - June 2020

[SmileyT]

I'm 31 TTC #1 after a MC in March this year, AF has just finished and I'm on CD6 and all ready to go for my 2nd full cycle.

This month I will be tracking with opks, CB connected, BBT and following SMEP plan.

@HE88 sorry about AF arriving.. Hope June is your month 🤞 I'm looking forward to seeing how many in this group will have a beautiful positive test in a few weeks time!
Oh and I am away to add pink grapefruit juice to my shopping list 😁

@SmileyT thank you, I actually feel better and more positive just by joining this thread ☺

@Bellabubble ah I see it could just be your body readjusting to everything again, our bodies are confusing things I think.
I think you do count the 1st day of bleeding of a MC as cycle day 1 but I'm not 100% sure.
I didn't bother ttc that cycle so this will be my 3rd cycle of properly trying. Xx

@1990EM thanks I was really pissed off about it the last 2 days but I'm starting to feel a bit better about it now. Xx

@SmileyT yup already ordered the cup :) and going to start temping again tomorrow. AF seems heavier this time more like it was before being pg, last 2 AFs since MC have seemed a lot lighter . So trying to take that as a positive 🤞 but overall feels like it's been a rubbish day for me 😓 xx hope you've had a good day and gonna start enjoying your SMEP plan xx

@Renna it's totally okay to feel shit, it's a hard process and as happy as we can all be for other people it's normal to wonder 'why not me' you will be okay and you know it will happen, indulge in something that you enjoy if that's wine, a takeaway etc have a cry buy stuff for this coming month - maybe try some meditation (you know I love that) and just focus on how great it will be when you get that BFP. SMEP day one ✅ only had 1hr between me getting home from work and DP leaving but got it done 😂

@1990EM ahh I'm glad that you are finding some comfort here, these groups have been a godsend to me since my MC in March 🥰

@SmileyT thanks hun xx aw wow well done you guys haha . Do you use the cup ? If so how upi find it ? X Yup I'm having wine tonight 😁 xx

@Renna I've used my menstrual cup definitely not as high as the conception one I imagine but tbh it was great (although DP snuggled afterwards so I left it about 10mins next time I'll get it straight in) I've just poured a G&T 🥂

@SmileyT I think I’ll know by tomorrow if it’s ib - last cycle I had 4 days of spotting, but it had got heavier by now. The only thing I keep thinking though is that mc seems to much things up a bit for a while so I sort of feel like it’s AF - I have been super lightheaded today though - they joked about whether I had been drinking at work today as I couldn’t seem to walk straight. I had that last pregnancy, but it can happen before periods too I think?

@HE88 I was the same, didn’t really try first cycle after mc - my bbt was super high, then when I had my final scan 2 weeks after mc bleeding had stopped, they said I had a really thin uterus lining, so I think even if I had tried, the little bean would have been unable to settle itself in for the ride so to speak!

@Bellabubble ahh really hope you still have a positive month 🤞 don't give up hope until AF fully arrives x

Hey you lovely lot i know i got my bfp but doesnt mean i dont care about u lot im Still here for u and pray for ur bfp with any advice i can offer that may help.. if u order anythin on ebay ask for courier delivery not royal mail as my ava turned up day before yesterday after nearly a full cycle!! (bit to late but i sensed this would happen didnt i) x x

Aw thanks @Hayleylou89 xxx I've ordered a fert illy cup coming Tuesday:) just in time for the fertile window Thursday to start.
My Af this time is really heavy , like really surprising heavy. The last 2 since MC have been super light . Hoping it's my body resetting properly finally and with the cycle being one day longer it fits my old cycles before I got Pg. Xxx felt really down about it yesterday, I think when MC happened in march I kinda thought I'd fall again by now. But I guess it took about 4 months for us to fall last time so should maybe expect it this time, just hope it's not much more than that. Xx

@Renna hey you! Glad to hear ur already fast approaching another fertile window they seem to come round quite quick for u once af is out the way...if this makes u feel any better i think this cycle if a good one for u as because u had ur cycle after the mc which is a bit all over the place and wouldnt really count it, then one full cycle then this one happening now... i had my loss in feb then one full cycle and fell in the next cycle so i think this is a good chance and it sounds like ur bodys def moore back to normal now! Who knows if it was the fert lily that helped us this cycle or the calc fluor or the hcg.. ill never know but i know i was so much more relaxed about it all than that first full cycle & thats for sure and i know u were so relaxed last cycle so try to stay in that mood, also ur dog is definitely going to take ur mind off everything isnt it 🙏🌈 ill keep popping on, i really hope this ur cycle and really hope this pregnancy is a healthy one for us it's bloody scary tbh x

@SmileyT AF could arrive any time based on my recent cycles. I got AF a couple of months ago at only 5dpo. Today I'm on cd27, 3dpo. If I have a 14 day lp, which I'd love, it would end on 4the June. I'll be testing at end of may though, so next weekend, if I get that far, because I'm due in school on Monday 1st June and i think the current guidance says pregnant women shouldn't be going in.

AF got me this morning - sad times :(

@ejb86 I’m back in school on the 1st too - was setting up my classroom yesterday, it looks so scary with all tables/chaies 2m apart!

@SmileyT thank you, I know I should be positive but had a BFN this morning and definitely feel as though AF is on her way. Hopefully my cycle will be back to 31 days this month.
@bellabubble sorry AF got you. June is our month 🤞🏽

Has anyone used coQ10 ?,
If I don't get my BFP this time I'm thinking of getting some especially with me been older it's supposed to be good for fertility ?
I'm currently using Pregnacare conception and vitamin D I'm having grapefruit juice will be using the cup and I have Calc fleur for 2 week wait x

Morning ladies

@Ejb86 fingers crossed for testing next week and you don't have to go back in 🤞

@Sallyjo27 sorry you are not feeling positive... if AF is coming hope she hurries along so you can get on with next month x

@Bellabubble sorry AF came definitely treat yourself to a few treats this weekend and focus on how lucky we are all going to be next cycle ❤️

@Dipsy77 ive been taking coq10 but obviously no idea if it's working at all as no BFP yet 🙈 I'm currently taking about 9 pills a day think I may have gone overboard x

@SmileyT my body now has me thoroughly confused!! After having so e red blood this morn thinking it was first day if AF, I’ve had nothing since 🙄 but this would essenbe the 4th day if spotting so I don’t think this is my month bfp wise - guess i’ll wait and see how it pans out - but if I don’t get more red, do I class this as AF, if I just continue spotting i’ll be so annoyed lol! It messes up my cycle tracking lol!

Hey @Bellabubble that is annoying I would give it a couple of days and see what happens is af doesn't appear I would maybe take a test just to check. Xx

@SmileyT there's so many to choose from on Amazon it says 600mg is a good dose which ones have you bought ?xx

@Bellabubble sometimes I kinda start and then ur takes a few hours to seriously kick in, how is it looking now?

@Dipsy77 I went for 200mg so maybe I should be doubling up on them, attached a pic but like I say no idea if these are good, may just be throwing my money away 😩

@SmileyT thanks
I keep telling myself I've got pregnant 4 times now 3 taking nothing and one on vitamins only so surly I don't need anything else but I can't help myself xx

Hi, just wondering if I can join? Been lurking a bit - don’t know why, but it’s comforting knowing there are others going through the same thing, even though you wouldn’t wish it on your worst enemy!
I lost my first in June 2017 (had medical management at 13 weeks due to foetal abnormality) then had my wonderful baby boy in October 2018. We got pregnant again in January this year but unfortunately went through medical management due to (completely different unrelated) foetal abnormality at 13 weeks on 10th April.
Having my first AF at the mo and so will be TTC this month. I take folic acid but that’s it, seems like you’re all so clued up about supplements and I’ll be honest I have no idea what a cup is!
Just wanted to have some company as we haven’t told anyone I was even pregnant/ lost the baby and so feel a bit isolated (as I’m sure most people do!). Hopefully there’ll be some BFPs in June for everybody!

Hi @elliew818 welcome to the thread sorry to hear what you have been through.
I had only been taking a preconception vitamin until I joined these threads they are very informative.
I understand what you mean about feeling lonely however we did tell family that I we were pregnant just out of pure excitement and because we had been trying for so long. Despite that though I do still feel very lonely and like they have forgotten what we have been through.
Sending lots of love your way xx

Well at least you have cycles. That's more then me.
