Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

Folic Acid for men is brilliant too.

I just googled and this is from the "Vitamin D Council"

Vitamin D and periodontal disease (PD)

Vitamin D levels

According to U.S. studies:

People with lower vitamin D levels had more attachment loss than people with higher vitamin D levels.
African-Americans had a greater risk of PD than white Americans. African-Americans had average vitamin D blood levels of about 16 ng/mL (40 nmol/L) compared to 26 ng/mL (65 nmol/L) for white Americans. Most vitamin D is obtained from solar UVB exposure. Less UVB reaches the lower layer of dark skin, where vitamin D is produced.
Pregnant women with PD had lower vitamin D levels and were twice as likely to have vitamin D insufficiency.
PD and a number of diseases are linked to low vitamin D levels: cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and osteoporosis. In many of the studies, the authors stated that some unknown factor might explain the link.

Eek! I'd be really interested in getting my levels checked. My gums have always been dodgy but pregnant really did a number on them. The vit d drops I give to oh are for Breastfeeding women so I'm sure it must be safe to take a bit extra to my prenatals x

Folic Acid for men is brilliant too.

I'm taking a 5mg prescription dose of folic acid plus prenatals (400ug) because my sisters little girl has spina bifida, but oh us taking wellmann conception which has 400ug of folic in. Hopefully that's enough!

 

[Munchkin30]

Well for anyone that likes seeing white spaces, here are my opks



Top to bottom that's cd14-19 (today). Had no AF at all yesterday and only one lot of blood on Monday so I think it's done. I think today's 'might' have a very faint line?? Maybe I'll never ovulate again?? Argh!!!

You'll get there munchkin.

We didn't get to bd last night because OH was ill. My OPK wasn't dark at all yesterday so we felt it was safe to skip it. He feels better this morning so I'll get him later hopefully.

 

[Munchkin30]

I need your opk pics button!!

Here you go.

Mine seem to have been the same for the last 5 days. I'm wondering if either the b50 complex or the mc is making OV delayed. I would normally get a positive OPK today and ovulate tomorrow.

 

[babyjan]

I went gp and she's referred me to my local hospital so they can check my levels rather than travelling an hour to the last one I was at near my mums, she also wants to check if the cyst has gone by my next cycle.

My dr advised me to wait a few cycles before trying again as it can be very emotionally difficult, that's her opinion but honestly I'm fine so whenever my body is ready I'm ready

Which way round are they hon?

Is this your only loss hon? I've lost track! I think, and others on here would agree, that particularly with such an early loss your body won't let it happen unless your ready. I'd totally be trying straight away unless there's a genuine medical reason. I also think this not being ready emotionally thing is a bit questionable. You were ready emotionally to have a baby before the loss so you still are. The only reason is if you don't think you could cope with another loss if the worst happened

 

[babyjan]

It was second pregnancy, first loss

She just said that emotionally you get attached and it can be a shock, but I didn't get emotionally attached because I was already bleeding when I discovered I was pregnant so therefore already feared the worst iykwim? If I had missed AF and got my BFP I think it would have hurt more, because then I would have got excited and everything. Hope that makes sense?

xx

 

[Munchkin30]

Yeah I'd totally try again. I tried the first month after a 12 week loss and am about to try second cycle after a 21+3 loss when I was DEFINITELY attached!!

 

[Button#]

Top one is CD10 and down to the bottom one which was yesterday's. I'll do today's in an hour or so.

BabyJan I would try again straight away. No one else can determine how you feel and if you're ready then go for it.

 

[Munchkin30]

Hmm button I think you just need to keep going and it'll probably happen in a few days xx

 

[Button#]

It's probably a good thing as OH has been poorly. We're way for the weekend and will have LO in our room but luckily once he's asleep nothing will wake him unless he wants to wake up. Of all the things he's inherited from me that's the most useful!

 

[celine]

Babyjan i agree wih whats been said, if you feel ready go for it. How is ur oh feeling about it all?
Button hope you get to bd soon, im a beleiver of better safe than sorry
Munchkin that last opk def has more colour to it than the stark white ones. Have you done a hpt to see if its negative?

 

[Munchkin30]

Yes celine I did a few before AF so weeks ago and they were negative. There's no sign of cm yet so who knows when that eggy will make an appearance?!? I'll be ready for it when it does though

 

[Button#]

Celine - don't worry OH has had his night off!

Munchkin - bottom pic is today's OPK, they're getting darker.
