@Ra1nb0w85 thanks. I thought I'd double check. Today is going sloooooow!!

I agree! Wfh today due to the snow and concentration levels are pretty much non existent. Been feeling a bit sick since I woke up - nothing major but desperately trying not to overthink it.

@NatJ24 thanks so much that makes me feel much better!

Yes bleeding has fully stopped now, I was hoping to start TTC as soon as we get a negative so I'm hoping I get one before AF arrives but we shall see!

Thanks for putting my mind to rest!

@Ra1nb0w85 We're stuck inside as it's too cold to take my son out tbh. I run out of things to do 🤷🏼‍♀️ But he's keeping busy playing constantly. I'm eating way too many snacks too 🙈

@Ra1nb0w85 I took coQ10 - after my first mc - I took it and fell pregnant 3 months later. Sadly that ended in an anembryonic pregnancy, but as soon as I knew that pg wasn’t progressing (in my early private scan I had booked) I started taking the 300mg tablets again which was before I had my surgical management end of Nov and fell pregnant early Jan this year..i swear coQ10 helped, as it helps improve egg quality x

@Bellabubble Ooh thanks for sharing. Where did you buy yours?

I have used both of these brands and I loked that they were made in the uk - the first link was the most recent and was cheaper - but I just saw that amazon is out of stock - I’ll see if I can find it slmewhere else!

It looks like the first link - the ones by intelligent health - have had to redo the packaging as they said it was vegan and one of the ingredients wasn’t vegan! But I used the other brand and found them to be really good. I used to take just 1 a day along with my conception vitamins :)

@Bellabubble Thanks. I'll have a think as it's very pricey. But I'll definitely consider it. If it improves egg quality, perhaps it would decrease the risk of mmc again

I've just found Q10 on Superdrug. I think I'll go to Boots/Superdrug if we aren't successful this month.

Sorry I meant to stare the link!

@Bellabubble Sorry for all the messages. Did your husband take it too, or just you?

@Pancakes7 he took it first time, then he used the wellman conception vitamins that had it in already so just I took it after that. I took 300mg a day - so the superdrug ones you’d be looking at taking 3 a day to get the recommened amount fertility wise. It basically gives the cells wnergy to be able to cell divide etc - I’m 36 (soon to be 37) so was definitely keen to help them in anyway I could lol!

@Pancakes7 another tip I learned back in the days of working for a food company - ingredients are listed in order of highest quantity, same with vitamins - the highest quantity will be listed first - so if you are ever worried about it - check out the ingredients list :) hopefully the vitamin/supplement you are taking is the first one x

@Bellabubble Thanks for the tips. My DH has just started a normal multivitamin. Maybe I'll get the wellman ones next. Oh wow, so that would only be 10 days worth 🙈 I'll have a think. Thanks for all the help!!

Is anyone due to test this week like me? Blimming hate the 2 week wait.
@Tina8800 how you getting on??.

@Bellabubble thanks for your insight and so pleased that you finally have your little sticky bean :) I'd already brought some coq10 but hadn't started taking them. Just had my first one with dinner - yours was another positive story I've heard and figured it won't do any harm. Atleast if nothing happens for me this cycle I feel confident for the next one X

@HereWeGoooo I’m on my two week wait. I took a test this morning at 8DPO and had a very faint positive but I’m not convinced. So il be testing in a few days 😊. How many DPO are you on?

@Strawberry08 Ohhh fingers crossed. I'm 11DPO and also took 2 tests today (am and pm) .. both v. faint lines so I'm feeling a little hopeful, after being absolutely convinced I wasn't preg this cycle.. but trying not to get too ahead of myself. I've had no real symptoms - nipples a little sensitive but no more than usual. Did have a meltdown crying last week when my work laptop wouldn't work.. maybe that might be a sign. Will test again tomorrow with a digital. Will be relieved if I am. Have you been trying long?

@HereWeGoooo ah exciting! Fingers crossed for you too. How long have you been trying?
We’ve been trying for 3 years. 2 missed miscarriages and 2 ‘chemicals’ (very early losses).
Sometimes for some people, no symptoms instead of pre period symptoms is a symptom in itself!
I have the sorest itchiest tingliest boobs and very bloated and feel hot ?!
Praying for this to be our month!

@Strawberry08 It sounds possible if you have itchy nipples. I find mine a bit stingy/nippy 🤣 nippy nips! Like burny? If that makes sense.

I have such respect for couples who have been trying a while, especially as time stands blimmin' still when you're TTC. Must take a lot of patience and rollercoaster of emotions. Really hope you are this time so please keep in touch!
I was pregnant in Oct for first time, had a MC in Nov (7weeks) waited for first period before trying again. So this is second cycle of trying since MC. So hasn't been long.. First pregnancy I had quite a lot of symptoms so if I am again, it's strange the difference. Been pretty down this month feeling sure I wasn't (like last month) so was shocked there might be a faint line. Just shows there's possibly no way of knowing and you just have to wait, rather than second guessing everything your body does or doesn't feel.

Hi all. Sorry for joining a few weeks ago and then leaving, I thought I was ready but deep down I just wasn’t Feeling very motivated to be keeping positive and trying again now though so I look forward to reading everyone’s posts and joining it. Still not had my first period since the miscarriage but believe I’m ovulating this week so fingers crossed!

@HereWeGoooo I'm 7dpo I think. @Ra1nb0w85 & @ttcrainbowbaby1 are also 7dpo I think. So we will all probably test this week too. Although I was telling myself earlier to just wait for af but I'm sure I'll crack!

@HereWeGoooo Hi. I’m due to test this week too and currently on CD24. Think I ovulated on CD15 but didn’t get a proper positive so I’m not hopeful. Had some brownish cm earlier this evening which is possibly a sign my af is on its way! Having zero symptoms so not holding out hope. How r u doing?

@bumptobean I hope you're ok. It's good you've given yourself time to recover. Fingers crossed for you x
