I can't believe we're back here

[Rockyslife]

Before Christmas we had a miracle, after 3 years of trying to conceive and were due IVF Jan we unexpectedly found out that we were pregnant, it was a blessing something I had always dreamt of, getting my first positive pregnancy test and knowing that we could conceive. Unfortunately we lost the baby at 8 weeks, and I just feel so angry. The hardest part is a few of our closest friends are also expecting, the same time we were due etc and I just feel so bitter (I am happy for them) but I just think here we go again more bad luck for us.
Were going to start trying again because I am now just determined to get pregnant Again but I am so scared we won't catch or will just loose the baby again

I've now had my first period and would like any advice, I am wondering will my body go back to what it was before re ovulation etc or can this take time, shall we do ovulation tests or just try regularly. I just want to do everything we can to make it happens again. Sorry for the waffles I just need to get it off my chest xxx

Sorry to hear about this. I had a loss at 14 week in November. I would just pass on what I was told by the EPU which was you will go on to have a successful pregnancy. I have been doing ovulation tests for the first time (next pregnancy will be my 4th - had two successful) and the irony seems to be it isn’t happening as it has before. I ovulated normally after first period so there’s no reason your body won’t be back to normal xx

Hi there

I am so sorry this has happened to you. We have been trying for a couple of years now. I got pregnant last summer at 38, had an amazing first trimester and then had to terminate at 14 weeks for T18. It broke me, but I came through it and felt positive that it had happened once and it could happen again.

I'm now 4 cycles on and still not pregnant and I'm feeling frustrated, obsessed with TTC and scared.

Here are a few things I'm doing to try to improve our chances

Vitamins everyday:
Ubiquinol 600mg & Omega 3, 6, 9 (Just over 2 months of taking this so far).
Her9 pre/during/post natal multivitamin inc things like Omega 3, folate, choline, vit D, iron, zinc, selenium etc.
Prescribed 5mg folic acid as my BMI is over 30 and I'm 39.

Testing: Ovulation strips from day 10ish onwards until a peak is found. Now on third month of taking my BBT too and finding it helpful.

Other: Preseed. We used this for a few months before falling pregnant before and husband is convinced it helped. Have just ordered ConceivePlus for this month for a change to see if that helps.

We're trying to do the SMEP too, although tend to start at day 10/11 and never manage the last one for luck!
