All quiet here. Only CD7 so nothing to report. This is the boring part of the cycle with nothing going on! Xx

So true! What cd do you usually ovulate on?

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Whenever my body decides to/or not! I have PCOS so no regular cycle.
Next month I will be back on Clomid so we will have a better chance. At the moment as we don't know when ovulation might happen, we just DTD at least 3 times a week and hope for the best! Lol xx

Hello everyone. I just finished bleeding from my 2nd chemical pregnancy. I'm on CD6. My first was on DH birthday in December. Trying since September.

My first loss was devastating. We hadn't told many people, thankfully. When I got my BFP this last time I wasn't even that excited as much as I was scared, the first loss took that excitement away from us. And that makes me sad that I feel that I can never have that excitement with a BFP, at least not what it should be. I just had a feeling that this one would go the same way, I tried to stay positive, I really did, but it all happened again. My thyroid looks perfect and no clotting disorders. My OB says that it is probably just statistics, but I just feel that something about my body is causing this. During this last pregnancy my first OB (never seeing them again) said my progesterone was a 7 and it was good, no, that is low, the new OB agrees. I really think that my low progesterone is not allowing the babies to implant well, so I Started Vitex today. I can't accept that there is nothing I can do, not yet.

Looking for fellow rainbow chasing buddies!!! What have you guys done to improve your TTC experience etc? Any positive stories after losses?

Congrats to those of you expecting your rainbows!!

Do you know when you ovulated? Maybe you ovulated late? I'd definitely test again.. It's been a few days and maybe you implanted late fx it's the last one!

TinyLynne, I hope the vitex helps! I've heard great things about it! I'm very sorry about your losses. Mine were early as well but it's still so hard. I hope you get your rainbow baby soon!

Hope everyone is well.

So many things can push back ovulation. Last month I ovulated a week late due to being sick, not sure if it was the sickness or the meds I was on. If I wasn't tracking BBT I would have been all sorts of confused!

Thanks Happy. I hope something works. I can't just do nothing. I hope we all get our rainbows soon! No one deserves what we have gone through!

Yep.. Figuring out ovulation sometimes can be tricky. Still trying to figure out mine this month. But we will get there.

I feel the same way. I started on maca and fish oil/omega 3 and have red raspberry leaf capsules and vitamin E coming. Hopefully something helps whatever the problem is. Fx we get our sticky beans soon

 

[TinyLynne]

I just ordered some progesterone cream to use after O, I will probably discontinue the Vitex for now, as I have heard it can screw up cycles that are already regular, I think I just have low progesterone, my cycle is predictable, longer than I would like, but predictable, I am fortunate to have that. I have RRL tea too and the fish oil, vitamin d, b complex and extra b6. I feel like a 90 year old with all of the stuff I'm taking! Lol

Hi ladies, I've just read through all the posts this afternoon. So sorry for everyones losses.

I had my 2nd mc last week. Just really stopped the spotting over this weekend. I knew something was up when I had a lot of cm type stuff, then lo and behold the next day I started bleeding. It was on my daughters 5th birthday, I was 5+6. It was all the exact same as my mc last October, so when I went to the Epac last Tuesday for a scan I knew the worst had happened again.

I'm lucky to have a bereavement midwife I can go to as she organised the scan for me, and because my 2nd little girl was stillborn last year, I have now got an appointment with a consultant on 2nd June. Plus I'm 39 so I haven't got years and years to be waiting about.

I was told the whole wait a cycle, but they said it's purely for dating reasons. I'm keen to start ttc asap but a bit hesitant in case there's an underlying reason for the 2 mc's both being at 6 weeks. (There were no problems or anything wrong with me or Poppy who was stillborn - just 'one of those things') They suggested to take baby aspirin when I get a bfp just in case there's a blood clotting thing going on. I'm wondering whether it's more a hormonal thing due to certain things, but I'm possibly just reading too much and becoming a hypercondriact!

After my last mc in October we decided to wait a few months and didn't start ttc until the new year, when it took 4 cycles to fall. I got af back after 6 weeks to get af back last year, so who knows if it will take that long this time. I don't temp or chart, tried opk's a couple of cycles earlier this year but think I got more confused with them! This last cycle I just went by ewcm and managed it!!

I'm so so sorry for the losses you've had I really hope and pray you get your sticky bean soon I'm glad you're joining us here.

My cycles are everywhere atm. I looked back though and it seems they were a bit everywhere before the losses except the difference being I could still tell when I was ovulating then. Now I'm just having ewcm whenever and my cervix had been open twice so far this cycle so who even knows. Probably should have actually taken this month off like we planned but are ntnp.. Well he is. I'm still obsessing

Hope all you ladies are doing well

Thank you Yeah my cycles were a little bit weird after the 1st mc. After I got af back after having Poppy they were all 29 days, then it was 33 days after mc (counting 1st day of mc as day 1). Then it went 25, 28, 29, 27 and 26. So while not madly irregular, they were still all out a few days each time.
(I suppose 33 days isn't too bad, it's not as much as I thought)

I'm not clued up about cervix at all, I occasionally check but I don't know what's what plus I don't like poking about in there too much!! Although I did check today and I 'think' it's open a bit, but who knows lol!!

Oh I'm just such in a predicament at the moment… rock - and - hard - place spring to mind. To try again straight away (which I sort of want to) but then do I wait til I see the consultant and see if there's something wrong. I suppose I'm assuming I'd fall straight away but i suppose that's not a given!

 

[TinyLynne]

So sorry to hear about your losses. I can't imagine how tough it must be to have a still birth as well. My OB, while still being helpful, just thinks it is a numbers game. We are still trying to prevent any underlying issue just in case, but I keep hearing just like you "just one of those things" and I'm having a hard time accepting that and can't sit here and do nothing. I really hope things work out for all of us soon.

That's a really hard decision. Do you consider yourself super fertile then? I read this the other day and found it interesting.https://m.livescience.com/22706-super-fertility-recurrent-miscarriages.html

I read that on a different site too but now can't find that one. I don't know if it is us and explains anything. I do seem to get pregnant very easily but just having trouble carrying them now. :/

Looking back even past the first mc it seems my cycles went between being 28 days and 32 so not a huge difference I guess.

TinyLynne, it could be bad luck but it's good to take care of yourself. I have read thyroid issues can cause miscarriages and thyroid problems do run in our family. Would be good if I could get tested but can't right now so on vitamins that are supposed to help if I do and maca is supposed to help some as well if that is my problem. I also have baby aspirin on hand for when I get another bfp I'll try that I'm thinking.

Really hoping whatever we are doing works to create a healthy place for our little babies to stick and grow

 

[TinyLynne]

Yeah, my thyroid is perfect TSH is about 1.5. No blood clotting disorders either, got tested last week.

We are all definitely doing the right things. Fingers crossed it works out.
