Hi ladies, I would like to join this thread ...I am very sorry to hear about your losses as well. From the moment we see that second line we can't help but to fall in love with the idea if the little baby we hope to see in 8 months time. I also had a "chemical pregnancy" or rather a blighted ovum as my doctor seems to think. I tested really early, so I knew I was pregnant for a week and a half before I miscarried. I was 6 days late for my "period" on the day I started to bleed (16 Oct). I had an ultrasound done as well the day after and the tech said that she could see that the corpus luteum by my left ovary was still very large and was the side from which I ovulated when I conceived. A blood test put my HCG level at 4. I had several positive pregnancy tests in the week and a bit leading up to the MC but when they became more faint instead of darker I did worry. We tried again immediately - but I started my normal period again on the 12th of November. BFN. I think my body knew I just wasn't ready. Now this is my second cycle after the early MC. I am 2 DPO**I had a very positive OPK on cycle day 13. We BD'd cycle day 11, 13 and 14. So now I am going to try and hold out until after AF is due in 12 days to test.... oi...being a POAS addict I really hope I can do it**I did try something new this cycle. I started taking Royal jelly tablets as well as Macca root tablets. Google them with "TTC" in the same phrase if you haven't heard about it already. I started taking the Macca root to balance my hormones and thicken my uterine lining. The royal jelly is said to help with egg quality and ovulation. I must say I did get a positive OPK earlier than usual. I stopped taking the tabs now after O.*Good luck on your ttc journey. Be blessed.. Xxx
