Hi all, I'm new here, I was 11 weeks and mc this past Saturday 12/17/11, this is my first mc and hopefully my last, I'm sure we all feel that way huh! I'm over 45 so my time is running short so we will be ttc right away, I had a ultrasound the next day and they found nothing, so I know I mc, I was just about to give up when I got pg with this last one, so no way am I giving up now, I had my first child at 44 she was my miracle baby, she is now 3 and hoping for and praying for a baby sister and brother, She took the news better than we thought she would, next time I'm waiting until I'm 3 months to tell anyone. it took me 24 years to get pg with her and 3 with the last one so I'm hoping and praying to conceive right away! Wishing you all baby dust!

Hello everyone... Can I join your thread? I've read all the pages and you all seem like a very supportive bunch... I'd love to be a part xx

I've just miscarried over the weekend... I was 6 weeks, 2 days. My husband is just destroyed. We've decided to try again asap. He's very on board, and I'm going to try the exact regimen I was using in November when we conceived.
I'm also doing a lot of research about herbs that I could take during early pregnancy to prevent miscarriage... I've found a couple that are good for threatened miscarriage, but none that I'd be able to take the whole time. Gonna do a lot of that in the next 14-16 days until ovulation (hopefully)!

Wow, what kind of herbs? I m/c'd about a month ago. Just about the toughest thing isn't it?! I am so ready to be pregnant again but want to prevent another m/c if I can. Loads of baby dust to you!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Oh thats such a sad thing to read jcorinne, I want to say a lot of positive things about your AF arriving but right now I'm just so sorry you have to go through another bleed when you should be at a time when your baby should be brewing. xxxxxx

How is your AF, they say it can be worse\better than a previous AF, just wondered if thats the case with you?

AF is pretty much the same as always. Really didn't cramp much at all and normal flow. I am trying the soy isoflavones and black cohosh this month so we'll see if that helps Guess I am trying that since the doc wont give me clomid again until feb. Really thought that I had managed to O all by myself this time but apparently it wasn't a good one or something.

Hi, you are the first person I have heard of that is taking black cohosh! How did you hear of it? I was on the dep for two years then got off of it--two years later still no period! Then I started taking black cohosh and BAM got my period back and was pregnant the next month! I had a miscarriage November 18 of this year I am tempted to take it again... my AF started yesterday (Dec 17) so here we go! Looks like we are on a similar cycle baby dust to you!!!

I have been ttc since March 2010. Found out in June 2011 when I was FINALLY referred to a fertility specialist that I was not ovulating at all. So he put me on clomid which I took for 4 cycles before my bfp. I miscarried on Nov 10th at 6 weeks. The dr. doesn't want to try again until Feb. I can't wait that long. So I went online and started doing research on natural ways to ovulate. Found several articles about soy isoflavones and black cohosh. Most of what I read said that the American Indians used black cohosh to help women with fertility issues. So I thought hey I might as well give it a try Went to the local health store and found a supplement that actually has both in it. We'll see what happens.

Wow, exactly! My husband is Lakota Oglala Sioux and I consulted with his Gramma and she said take Black Cohosh- so I did. Ovulated within a few weeks! Maybe I should take it again, as my AF arrived a few days ago but that doesn't guarentee ovulation. Can't hurt! I never heard of the soy--what product did you purchase?

 

[Buzzymomma]

Grey eyes I have been looking into false unicorn root. I've read a lot and talked to a naturopath and it's believed to be ok for the first trimester. It helps prevent miscarriages due to hormonal imbalances! Which the ones that aren't chromosomal mostly are (allegedly).
I've also looked at false unicorn and lobelia together in a capsule, I believe it's called Dr. Christopher's formula. I know a lady who used it when she was having a threatened miscarriage... Her uterus was literally full of blood and her dr was astounded she wasn't miscarrying! She was taking a few of these pills every 3-4 hours at the first sight of threat and her son lived and is a very healthy little boy.
Lobelia is apparently a "thinking herb". They say if the baby is healthy and viable then it helps the pregnancy continue. If the baby is not healthy then it helps speed up the process and helps the mother recover much faster.

Sorry for the big post about herbs!

There is actually a thread on here about the soy. Here is the link https://www.babyandbump.com/ttc-groups/271211-soy-isoflavones-natures-clomid.html I don't know if you are in the U.S. but I went to GNC and bought a product that is just called "Menopause formula dietary supplement". I looked for it on the GNC website but it doesn't show it. It shows a different product called phyto-estrogen which has more stuff in it then the stuff I bought. The one I bought has Black Cohosh Root Extract 160mg, Soy Isoflavone Concentrate 100mg, Isolase 35mg...other ingredients are cellulose, gelatin, and maltodextrin. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. You take it like you do clomid for example CD 3-7 is when I am taking it. You take it 5 days and then stop. And from what I read on the thread on here you should only take the soy for 2 cycles and then take a break. Also I have read that if you take too much soy it can cause you not to ovulate.

Hi everyone! I haven'e been on in a little while and there were quite a few pages to catch up on! Hello to all the newcomers, sorry that you've ended up joining us here but I look forward to hearing about your BFPs in the near future I am on CD10 in my second cycle since m/c now so am hoping that I will ov soon!! We are dtd every other day til I get a positive OPK - hoping it'll work!! Anyone else doing the same/ doing it differently? x

 

[Tanzibar83]

Hi rachel, I'm going to try and recreate the BFP cycle to a tee! I know thats a silly thing but I mean that we'll be dtd 12 hours apart on the fertile days, pillow under bum and stay led down for AT LEAST 30 mins every time. I think this time in the tww I may not temp, not sure yet. I'm just really hoping that I start getting negative hpt's soon then I'll be able to use OPK's properly.

Here's hoping I ovulate soon, not sure when I will though - the cycle I fell pregnant I ov'd cd19 but was on clomid, the month before ov was cd23. Before that I was on nothing and didn't see ov until cd40+ - I really hope my body won't reset itself and not even make me fertile for another 30 odd days - that would really crush me

How are you doing?

 

[freddie]

Well hopefully the fact that you have recently been pregnant will mean that your body is geared up to be again soon! I got a negative OPK this morning but noticed ewcm this afternoon (tmi lol) so I am hoping that means I will get a positive soon... It's made me feel a bit more positive today

 

[Tanzibar83]

Oh I so hope you're at a fertile time right now, the first part of a cycle is always the longest, once ovulation is here it goes pretty quickly doesn't it?

I can't make my mind up with this mornings HPT, I've let it dry and looking at it from a distance there's no pink and even when I look close up there's no pink BUT it doesn't look like there may a teensy weensy smidge if I use the natural light from the window - god this is driving me insane, is this what you had to go through??? or was it clear cut, one day a line was there, next you were a million percent confident it had gone.

 

[freddie]

Yeah I was the same, I noticed it getting lighter a few times then the second to last test I did I was holding it up to all sorts of light thinking I could see a teeny weeny faintness of a line! I took another one the next day which was a definite negative so you must be nearly there! I also got a positive OPK the same day that I got my negative HPT!

Yep, I am on cd11 right now...m/c'd November 18 and had one full cycle. Dh is sick so hopefully will get some bd before and during ov!! Should be by the 1rst or so...I will keep fx'd for all of us!

Hi all,

Sorry its been awhile since i've been on. I've had some sad new regarding my second pregnancy, it seems I did get pregnant again with twins a week after first MC but regretfully my early 8 week scan showed that neither baby had a heartbeat. Hubby and I decided to induce a MC. We've decided to wait a couple of months before trying again. Jo xx

 

[Islander]

so so sorry to hear that Jo xxx

Hi Jo, I am so sorry for your loss. I think m/c is about the toughest thing a woman can endure. I m/c'd in November also. It seems that my focus is always "getting my baby back" that seems to be my thought process. I understand that's not how life works, but hope is the only thing that carries any comfort. Waiting a couple of months may be a good idea, just to let your body "bounce back". I am on my second cycle and we decided to ttc this month. We'll see! Try not to worry too much and just remember to take care of yourself! I have decided to launch into some serious healthy decisions- more than anything it gives me a focus. Good luck and baby dust for next time!

 

[freddie]

Sorry Jo

So I got a positive OPK on the 23rd Dec, I am taking it to mean that I probably ovulated on Christmas eve which puts me at 4dpo today. Earlier I went to the toilet and when I wiped there was very pale reddy/ pink discharge (as usual sorry for tmi). Is this too early for implantation bleeding?? Am I just getting my hopes up lol?!
