Not started a new thread before so I’ve just gone back through thread 19 and tried to tag everyone whose posted. Apologies if I’ve ended up tagging anyone though that no longer wants to follow the thread. I’m sure there’s been quite a few bfps. Here’s hoping for many more on here too🤞

@Mmeow
How are you? Are you still spotting/bleeding?

[Mmeow]

I’m out. AF finally came and it was just CD19. Hopefully my cycle will return back to normal. It’s just so frustrating! Had mc first week of September and until now my cycle’s all over the place.

[Treesaa]

@Mmeow

I'm sorry to hear that AF showed up. If your mc was in Sept I'm thinking cycle next month should be normal. I'm going off my experience, had MMC in August and my first normal cycle is this one in November.

[susiebluebell]

@Mmeow Honestly it's soo normal to have a confused cycle for a while after MC. Keep doing what you're doing and it'll straighten out. Healthy eating, movement every day, sleeping... All really important. It'll happen! Xx

[Mmeow]

@Treesaa Hoping that I will ovulate this cycle. Fingers crossed.

I just bought Coq10 300mg online and will try to drink 2 glasses of grapefruit juice to help with cm. Has anybody here tried drinking grapefruit juice?

Baby dust to all of us✨

[Mmeow]

@susiebluebell thank you for your advice. Been really trying to have a healthy lifestyle. Being labor and delivery nurse is just not helping me as I’m seeing pregnant patients all the time. So jealous of my patients that I’m even more desperate to get pregnant 😐

[susiebluebell]

@Mmeow that's got to be really tough! I went through a phase earlier this year where there just seemed to be beautiful pregnant ladies everywhere and I was in danger of becoming a bitter witch!

We had some ladies on here a few threads ago who did grapefruit juice and various other food supplements. I think @Richmondlady1981 took COQ 10 and became pregnant - not sure if this post will tag her but if not, I'll have a look back through old threads and see what she said. Xx

[Treesaa]

@Mmeow

I've heard good things about COQ 10. I'll get some if no BFP this month.
I bet it must be hard working in that setting while TTC .
Baby dust to us all

[re6ecca]

Hey hope everyone's doing well! My period is still being elusive, currently CD51 and it came CD55 last time so fingers crossed not long to go. Going to email Amanda Tozer tomorrow to let her know the situ as I dont think low dose progesterone is going to sort me out any time soon.

[susiebluebell]

@re6ecca I hope you get some answers! She has a good reputation. Remind me if you've seen her before or is this the first contact?

We've just got home from an early scan at the hospital (booked due to that little bleed I had last weekend) and I was an absolute wreck this morning, crying and so worried it was going to be bad news. But everything was OK with the little one, we saw a flickering heartbeat and not much else as tbh there isn't much else to see at this stage! It's measuring 6 weeks rather than the almost 7 weeks that's on my app. I'm so relieved I almost don't know what to do with myself.

It all feels very real now, having had a scan, and it's really early days still, but I will probably take a back seat in this thread as pregnancy isn't really the topic. I'll keep reading to follow all your stories but want to give you all space to talk about TTC after MC, rather than talking about pregnancy which can be difficult for others to read (as I remember myself) I promise I'll let you all know if anything happens! Xx

[Treesaa]

@re6ecca
Do let us know how you get on . CD55...that's long!

@Mmeow
Did you get COQ 10?

[re6ecca]

@susiebluebell its second contact but it will be first since my periods have gone wonky. Day 53 at the moment, fingers crossed, d9nt feel period-y though!

[bubblybrit]

@susiebluebell. Brilliant news. So pleased for you xx

[bez91]

That's great @susiebluebell really pleased for you x

[Mmeow]

@Treesaa yep! Got myself COQ 10 and currently reading It starts with the egg. Apparently, BPA plays a lot in regards to fertility. I’ve thrown all the plastic containers that we have I’m also drinking grapefruit juice every morning but still no ewcm. Let’s see if there will be any improvement in the coming days.

@susiebluebell that’s a wonderful news seeing the flickering heartbeat! You’ll be in my prayers that you will have a sticky baby and a healthy pregnancy in the coming months xx

[Loulou237]

Oh that’s amazing news @susiebluebell I’d just come on the thread to catch up and see how everyone was getting on! I hope you’re not feeling too terrible with morning sickness etc.

Check out this thread if you need some support the ladies are all lovely. A couple have had bad outcomes so not sure if it would be triggering for you but on the whole it’s just lovely for everyone to get through the first anxious few weeks together!

Congratulations! Xxx

Im TTC after MMC in March 21 it took me 11 weeks to get a negative frer and my first cycle after the MMC we have been TTC since. Im 12 DPO due AF this Friday.
I have minimal symptoms, only real ones are loss of appetite and alot bloating. I don't know why but I had a feel i may be pregnant..,
I took a freedom cheap test this morning which I have attached am i seeing things

[Shortmamashortcycles]

@SamBass, that looks like a strong positive to me, unless I'm misreading the test!

[Treesaa]

@SamBass

Looks like a lovely early Christmas present, congratulations!

[susiebluebell]

@SamBass I remember you! Congrats, that's a lovely clear line x

[Treesaa]

@Mmeow
I'm drinking grapefruit juice too and my teeth feel so sensitive! Fingers crossed it works. Pray this will be our month 🙏🏾

[Mmeow]

@SamBass congratulations! That looks very positive to me

@Treesaa me too!!! I think it’s really acidic. Been drinking grapefruit juice for 2 weeks already but still no ewcm. Oh well.

Had an ultrasound done last monday just to check if I’m ovulating and they found a hemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary. Could be the culprit why I’m having irregular cycle. Doctor told me it will resolve on its own but could take couple of months. My other ovary should be ovulating fine but on the ultrasound it doesn’t seem like it will ovulate anytime soon and I’m on CD12 last monday. I cried that night. I’m just so frustrated! I feel like I’m doing everything that I could to get pregnant and my body just wont cooperate😭

[SamBass]

Thank you all i have done a clear blue now and I'm definitely pregnant. Wishing you all the best of luck with your TTC journeys

[Loulou237]

Congratulations @SamBass!!!! Come over to the pregnancy thread 🥰 I’ve posted the link a few messages up xxx

[re6ecca]

Well... lovely update over here... I have a period! I never imagined the day I'd be pleased about one of these but here we are. cd60 it finally came.
