TTC

[Mwilliams31]

I had a mc last year at 12 weeks (blighted ovum) and we have been ttc again, so far with no luck. Does anyone else just cry and feel so sad every month when they get their period or a negative pregnancy test? It’s only been 3 months of trying but I am feeling so disheartened as the first conception seemed so easy, and my other baby would have been due in just five and a half weeks. My periods have been every 28 days but I’m on day 30 with no period yet so thought I was in this month, but got a negative CB digital this morning xx

Ahh I'm so sorry you got a negative this morning, its always really rubbish to see them.

Yes also had a miscarriage last year and would have been due in a couple weeks. I had a real wobble last month and had some tears when my period came. I'm trying to keep positive, but it is hard. And like you my first conception was so easy (1st month) but nothing since and I'm worrying something is wrong.

Did your cycles go back to normal after the initial one or two? I have noticed all of mine are different - shorter than before, spotting before period, later ovulation etc. My GP thinks maybe a hormone imbalance, which can be normal after losses - I'm waiting for blood tests next month

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 so my first period was 11 days long which is unheard of for me and then the whole cycle was 40 days. However after that I have had two 28 days cycles, which is why I am now so confused that my period is late but I’m not pregnant! How far along were when you mc if you don’t mind me asking? X

@Mwilliams31 of course not, I wasn't very far, just over seven weeks. Which is why I'm so surprised that months later my cycles are just normalising. After a couple of weird long cycles, I had two 30 day cycles, then a 42 day cycle, which really confused me (and had me testing every few days....all negative). Clearblue aren't too sensitive, do you think a FRER might put your mind at ease?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 a friend said to me to try FRER as digital CB’s apparently are quite bad for false negatives but I feel like I’m setting myself up for a fall, however I do have my Covid jab in the morning so need to know 100% so it’s probably a good idea. How is your other half? Mine is so positive all the time - I wish I took after him! Lol x

@Mwilliams31 oh wow lucky to get a covid jab! Good luck for testing again.
He's okay, actually I'd go so far as to say he's enjoying it. We are having a ridiculous amount of sex each month from immediately after period to just after ovulation 😂 But yes he seems a lot more relaxed. I probably seem relaxed, but he doesn't see me on here several times a day checking different niggles 🙈 its hard isn't it?
Are you doing any extra things / any tips? I feel like I'm taking half a pharmacy at times, but I don't know how much it helps!

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 it is so hard, every month I think it’s going to happen and I’m Googling and looking at the tiniest symptoms. I’ve been exercising more and trying to eat better and I take Pregnancare every day - what about you? Looks like period has arrived though so might treat myself to a big bar of chocolate tonight 😢 x

@Mwilliams31 ah sorry 😥 its such a disappointment when it does. Enjoy your chocolate, and hopefully add in a nice bottle of wine x

I take Proceive, but I'm going to switch to Zita West I think. I take ubiquinol because I'm 36 and had a miscarriage. Vitamin C to help with progesterone, iron, grapefruit juice for cm (that actually really does work) and last two cycles I've taken soy isoflavones to move my ovulation forward. Haha I think that's it!

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 haha you’ve got everything covered! What does the grapefruit juice do? Xx

@Mwilliams31 it makes lots of ewcm, and it really does work, I had it for five days this cycle! Pink, not from concentrate

Take it during follicular phase, about half a cup a day

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 thank you! I will try. How many cycles have you been TTC since your mc? We have done 3 so far x

I'm onto my 5th cycle atm, 6dpo

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 good luck 🤞🏼 xx

Hey there! Currently TTC baby number 1. So sorry to hear about your MC. I had an MC 2 years ago and with covid and everything only started trying again recently.

Totally understand the need to cry and getting frustrated. It is definitely an emotional rollercoaster

Wishing you all baby dust ❤

@MoominC thank you, you too - really hope we all get our Rainbows soon 🌈

Sorry to jump on this thred! But I’m currently 6-7 dpo and on 5dpo I had some cramping felt like a pulling sensation and prickling jumping from side to side! Nothing like af! My temperature dropped from 36.9 to 36.5 I also had some spotting to go with it is this a good sign could it be implantation🙈my temperature has risen again today🙈
