TTC After Loss 2011 BFP!!!

hi ladies I wrote a big long message to you all today but Lewis turned off the modem as i pressed relpy :cry:

Shana I'm so happy for you. When's your next scan?

kaede the first rule in pregnancy you need to pee wether or not you feel you need to pee lol.

I'm a 42day cycler and its driving me mad so if you figure out how to shorten them let me know. I'm giving soy a go next cycle (fx'd I don't have a next cycle)

I had a pregnancy reading from Cara and she was fab she mentioned a name and an ailment that she could never know. She also asked me if I was pregnant and i said not that I know of. As far as she's concerned if I don't test positive this month then I'll be pg very very soon as a wee boy keeps showing up for the present. She told me last june that I'd be pregnant in Sept with a girl (mc august) and would have a boy in 2012.

Also I have a good friend called Rosie who does readings (shes on a break after having her son) has offered to do me and a few friends a reading well online tonight she asked us if anyone knew a woman called Joan, jan or Jean. She could only get JN. Well the only person that had a link to those names was me and my gran Jean who passed Sept 2010. She said my gran (who she described to a T) had been pestering her to get the readings done since she offered lol. Rosie only knows me online she doesn't know my family etc x
 
I got this bfp the first cycle of using Soy Isoflavones :) but whether it was that that did it or whether it was just my time I really don't know... And I can't really comment on whether it helps with long cycles because mine were fairly regular with a few days. But good luck to those giving it a go!!! :)

Hi ladies! I just had a eureka moment that I wanted to share with you lovely ladies that struggle with long irregular cycles. (when not pregnant, I struggle with the same). :hugs:

After my second loss when my cycles started to get really odd and my doctor suspected I may have PCOS, I started using a supplement called Femaprin (an Agnus Castus / Vitex blend from USA) that is used to help regulate irregular cycles. Femaprin/Vitex is a slow acting supplement that takes about 3 months to show an effect but once it does it has helped many a lady to have regular cycles and get a BFP. You should take it daily throughout your entire cycle but stop using it immediately if you get a BFP (I always tested early for this reason). Along side Femaprin I used Wheatgerm oil and fish oil capsule supplements to aid TTC. I found this "magical" concoction was being sold online by this lady that guarantees a BFP within a few months, even with PCOS. I didn't buy her plan but I took the prescribed supplements and I do think they helped. My cycles got shorter and more regular before I conceive after I started taking the supplements.

If you're interested in trying it, you should take 1 Femaprin, 1 Wheatgerm oil and 1 Fish Oil capsule daily. Femaprin is a standard dose. I bought mine off eBay from a seller in USA as it isn't sold in UK (though you can get Vitex here, just not in the same dose/blend). If anyone is interested, I have an open but mostly full bottle that I'm not likely to use now if you want it. I took Wheatgerm oil bought from Holland & Barrett (only one size) and I still take Eye-Q fish oil supplements (3 daily) though you should be able to use any high quality fish oil supplement (about 1000mg a day).

There are some special instructions to follow in addition to taking these 3 supplements once daily...
1) From about 5dpo onwards take an extra Wheatgerm oil on every second day until AF or BFP (i.e. take an extra one on 5, 7, 9, 11 & 13 DPO). This is supposed to aid implantation if you caught the eggy.
2) Stop taking the Femaprin/Vitex immediately if you get BFP (as it regulates cycles it wouldn't be helpful to carry on once you fall pregnant, though for it to work best, it's advisable to take daily until you get a BFP).
3) It is advisable to carry on taking fish oil throughout pregnancy. It is fine to carry on taking the Wheatgerm oil too (just once daily) once you get BFP though once you run out you don't need to carry on taking it unless you want to.

Okay, I think I'm done. I hope I haven't bored you all to sleep. It took me a while to track down all this info when I was TTC and had irregular long cycles and it only just occured to me to share it. If it helps anyone I will be so pleased. If anyone in UK wants my spare Femaprin to try it, just PM me (it's from USA).

Sending love and :dust: to you. :hugs:
 
Wow Random that's strange about the friend and the reading, I love stuff like that. You will have to tell us what she says once she has done it.

AMU that is a really long post! But really interesting, hope it helps some of you lovely ladies.

Sending :dust: to all you lovely TTC ladies
 
allmuddleup thanks for the advice. I'll be using what you suggested if I don't manage to get my bfp this cycle either. I'm using soy at the moment. It worked for me the very first time I used it. With O on cd15 and bfp at 10dpo but then I mc'd and when I've used it after the mc it has made no change to my cycle whatsoever.
Today cd25 and got my +opk. I hope we'll make it this time.

kaede that's so funny! maybe you should start considering the nappies LOL

random that's weird what you mentioned about the reading!

sam I forgot the other day to tell you that your children are gorgeous. I love your pics! They reminded me of the time mine were little.

Thanks allmuddledup. I've been referred to a fertility specialist in the new year, so won't be taking any supplements or anything beyond my folic acid (and EPO up until when my OPK goes +ve every month) but should anything happen with that and he sends us away empty-handed, I'll look into the Soy.
 
Gah! I don't know why I do it to myself >.< I NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SCALES!!!!! I've now gained 33lbs in just under 28 weeks >.< But I can't seem to control it! I've tried eating more healthily, but I'm still gaining like 2/3lbs a week... Roll on gym membership in April :haha:

It doesn't matter!! You'll go back to your previous weight once the baby is born. Enjoy your diet free time!!
 
Hey ladies! :wave:

Good luck to you ladies TTC. I hope your sticky BFPs come for you all very soon, whatever means you use to get there. It's such a tough road to be on, this whole TTC after loss gig. I hope it's PAL and beyond for all of us soon!! :hugs:

Kaede, I hear ya babe. I was the exact same with my son. I couldn't stop eating and went from 10st10lb to well over 13st. I think it's a baby boy thing. :shrug: It will get better after Harri arrives and you are in control of your own appetite again. :hugs:
 
I know I shouldn't worry lol, and I am enjoying a few goodies, but not so much that I an putting on so much every week lol. Ah well, I know that the main thing is that Harrison is healthy (which he is... And bloody strong too haha).

Kaede I think your at the point to where your supposed to be gaining a pound a week.. so you should be expecting it lol.. I gained 3lbs in 4 weeks for my last appt.. will be interesting to see what this time is.. appetite is just increasing..
 
I wouldn't be so bothered if it was just 1lb a week lol. I'm gaining nearly 3lb or more lol :/

Hiya all thanks again AMU for all your advice! How is everyone. To cut my story short. I've been to see my consultant this morning all tests are normal. Go a referral to Liverpool to the recurrent m/c specialist to see if they can help. My consultant is still +ve that I will one day have asucessful pregnancy.
 
Thanks Hun, guess I'll have to wait it out for tonight then. Shop is closed now :(
