Hello!
I'm about to be 35. Have 2 children 5 and nearly 7. So grateful. Assumed I'd be fine going for the 3rd. Had a mmc at 12 weeks (Trisomy 21) :( That was last year and I'm still traumatised at having to get her out and taking those pills it was horrendous. Anyway I've been TTC again and the last 2 months I've had weird faint lines then very heavy periods. Assuming both chemicals. Do I need to see a Dr about this or just keep trying? Obviously I'm lucky with my two but doesn't make it easier. What is with these chemicals? Progesterone is ok been tested. I seem to get pregnant every month but bad eggs. It's like my body accepts anything lol but I want it to use the good quality eggs! Any success stories I'm losing hope as I've always been pretty fertile (or so I thought). Maybe I just got lucky with the first two and pushing it for a third. Feel free to slap me and wake me up from my unreasonable situation. Hormones have been whack for months.

GAH! My husband is sick of trying to look for weird shadow lines and listening to me complain LOL

Also been on 'fertility smart' vitamins. Just picked up Ubiquinol today. And take the methyl folate one incase I'm one of those people who doesn't metabolise folic acid properly or something lol. OR am I being silly for being worried as I'm 35. It's been 4 months of trying now though starting to get concerned........

Hiya so sorry for your losses. I have also had two chemical pregnancies one in November and one in December, I am currently in the TWW to see what happens this month. I did speak to my Dr who said if it happened again this month (third time) only then would they refer me for some tests. (I also have a 3yo girl who I conceived first time with no issues so this was all a complete shock to me!).
Hope you are doing ok, I am really struggling with it all and feel like I am now just waiting for it to happen again this month x

Omg thanks for replying. I feel so scared and hormonal lol Ok so i'll go to dr soon next week. My big loss was at 12 weeks last september. so I presume it's taken a while longer than an even earlier loss to get back to normal. Same as you but I had two in a row. Although that was 5 years ago. Far out I'm angry I waited so long. But also was soooo freaking hectic with 2 under 2. I worry now it's all too late! I'm not in a good head space. Ask my husband lol. Not good.

Sorry for your losses. Try the book “It starts with the egg”.

I'm onto the second glass of wine and onto fertility forums. Things do not look good for me lol. I'm in Australia though. How are you going with the lockdown? Where I am we don't have lockdown yet but just north of sydney so who knows. I've actually lost my marbles though. Been so consumed of it. See babies everywhere. But I had two so I should be grateful right? Is this TTC your first?

@BellBell35
I am completely the same not dealing with it well and just don't understand why it's happening but same as you feel like I should be so grateful that I already have my daughter.
We are in full lockdown here in England which is so hard as I just want to see my mum and my family.
Definitely get in touch with your Dr as then at least you may get some answers if you can have any tests.
I am so grateful for this app as it is nice talking to people in similar situations and comforting to know it's not just me!!
Really hope you are doing ok, message anytime you need a chat xx

Omg we had lockdown full lockdown in Australia last March. My daughters first year of kindergarten it was bad. So lockdown in March was start of school year we are opposite here it’s currently super hot summer. She wouldn’t listen or do remote learning. LOL. So so bad. We are lucky here. We have random hot spots who get locked down but I’m glad to be here in aus! I get people are trying to be helpful with the it starts with the egg but been doing it all I kind of hate all the ttc stuff. I like to hear actual stories and real life 😂.

I didn’t realise how long ago full lockdown was. Man 2020 was so fast. I remember COVID hitting Australia last March. Omg. It’s like the whole year was wasted hey!
