Recent MC - New cycles & trying again

[Mellous]

Hi all,

A thread for the ladies from the recent MC/MMC group and for anybody else who wants to join us as we discuss getting our cycles back on track after MC and starting to TTC again x

Just wanted to ask, for those that drink POM juice, do you stop after ovulation or keep going with it? If so when do you stop in the cycle? I mean it's nice to drink so I guess no harm in continuing? Also do you just have POM juice or does eating the seeds help too? I've been drinking POM juice crazily since cd 4 but also incorporating pomegranate seeds into my breakfast each morning in a smoothie or on porridge. Wasn't sure if it would make any difference but I guess it can't hurt?

@PlantMummy87 oh fingers crossed for 2 more temp rises 🤞
I drink pom after my period stops through to when implantation would happen. I figure after that point it can't really do too much good. But as you say, no harm in it. Its an Antioxidant so great generally for cells and egg quality! I havent been having the seeds but they are so nice go for it. I'm doing seed cycling so just about remembering those...

Thanks @AMS19 that is good to know. I'll continue on until around implantation. I've also been seed cycling this cycle, I always find this half with the sesame seeds so much harder!

@PlantMummy87 I've mixed them with crushed mix nuts and have them with yoghurt for breakfast! Nearly time for the pineapple core to come out now too. Its never ending 🙄

@AMS19 that's a good idea with mixing it with nuts and yoghurt.
It really is never ending isn't it. Will all be totally worth it though xx

@AMS19 ah I remember you’re planning things without pregnancy in mind but when you do get up duffed it’ll all just work around it, great idea.

In that case I would be more than happy to jump on a train to London Town and go for a 10k run somewhere, maybe a park or along the river? Xx

Re Pom juice I have about 200ml eve Urdu because it’s about £4 a bottle so it lasts longer that way and I think 200ml is around a very small glass worth xx

That meant to say every day

I do the same with POM. Buy 700ml which is £3.90 and have it over 3 days 😊

It's 90p for a litre at Tesco!!

@AMS19 I’m so knackered today I don’t know if I’ve got the energy to go again! 🤣🤣 I don’t track my temps but I think this might prompt me to do so next month. Nope definitely not pregnant! 😀 xx

Ooh runs to Tesco to stock up on pom haha!!

Just catching up with you ladies. 9dpo today, think I’m going to test tomorrow morning.. I’m SO anxious :(. @dippyegg32 any urge to test yet?!

@dippyegg32 oh wow! My tesco definitely doesn't have that! They have pomegranate juice but not 100% annoyingly! Winning there

@SuzieDeLaTour I feel you. When my temp went up for a 3rd time today I was so relieved I don't have it to it again for a while 😂

@Mellous so exciting!! Got everything crossed for you!!

@AMS19 ha!!! Men probably NEVER think like this!! 🤣
@Mellous oh exciting!! Fingers and toes crossed for you. I’ll likely be testing start of week after next - if AF doesn’t get me first! X

Am I the only one who is nothing but terrified of testing? The idea of a BFP brings nothing but fear to me. I honestly don't think I would feel any happiness or hope, just fear and anxiety about "when" the next miscarriage will happen this time. I'm trying to get pregnant, but I'm not sure mentally I'm ready at all...

@AMS19 you’re not alone. I’m filled with all kinds of emotions about tying again. Mainly because I feel like I’ve come so far since December and wanted to leave all the heartache and trauma in 2020 so I feel like by trying again I’m opening myself up to going back to that dark place if it happens again.

I think it’s only natural to be filled with mixed emotions after what we’ve all been through and not putting too much pressure on ourselves to be jumping to joy because we will undoubtedly be filled with more anxiety than joy until we have that baby in our arms xxxx

@AMS19 this is how I’m feeling. I’m terrified but equally desperate to test at the same time. I’m waking up with my heart racing thinking about it! I’ll be heartbroken if I get a negative, but a positive won’t have me excited either.

@mellous I have absolutely everything crossed for you!!!

@Mellous fingers crossed for you,I'm not testing till Saturday,I'll be 12dpo. I was going to wait till Monday if AF didnt come but I've plans made for Mothers day with my Mam so I need to know 😁😁😁

@AMS19 I never replied to you yesterday about the supplements. I’ve just spent around gulp £170 on 3 months worth which are mainly Zita West but then bought some others from Amazon. I’ll send you a photo of the haul once they arrive. The DHE omega and zinc I think it is, both my hubby and I have been taking that but we are a lot older than you so I wouldn’t worry it does say on her website it’s for 35 plus and I’m 38 and he’s 40 xx

Thanks @DMT1982 my anxiety has been really really bad today so I've decided I need to stop using Google and buying things because I'm driving myself crazy and not healthy. Today is probably the most anxious I've felt since the miscarriage, to the point I'm getting chest pains! I really really need to stop focusing on TTC now and manage my anxiety better I think xx

@Mellous I'm the same as you 9dpo when will you test?

Oh @AMS19and @Mellous I feel exactly the same. I think that's the reason why I've been so obsessed with trying to do everything I can to get myself as 'healthy' as possible as I know I can control that to some extent, but feel like when I finally get my BFP my body will fail me again.

It's so heartbreaking, but you put it so beautifully before that when you do get your BFP breaking it down into milestones can help you get through day, week, month etc., and we'll all be here to support each other through those tough days xx

@dippyegg32 well I stupidly did one about an hour ago.. 9dpo and not fmu so unsurprisingly a BFN! I’m not feeling very positive this month :( I’ll test again tomorrow morning as with my last pregnancy I got my bfp at 10dpo with fmu.

If that’s negative I’ll probably just wait for af!

Ladies...

I'm confused...

Does this look to anyone else like the test got darker 🤔🤔
