TTC after miscarriage before AF

[mimdan]

Hey Mimdan thank you!! He is doing better now, he is in a lot less pain. He is also thinking about switching jobs, which would lower both of our stress levels! I know the McDonalds thing is ridiculous...I could kick his butt for it I refuse to eat there. All I know is that I want this cycle to just be as normal as possible. Good news is I seen to be having some pre EWCM. So it looks like I should ovulate this week. Which is a blessing because it gets me closer to AF. But I just want this stinking 2 month wait to be over with . But, at least everything seems on track now just have to play the waiting game. Buying herbal supplements like a crazy person . But, we will get there. What stunk today was that I actually opened up to an old friend about our losses and she said "well you have two so if it is over and you can't have another baby what does it really matter...you have two just let the losses go and be happy!"Can you believe that? Like it shouldn't hurt? At least I have you ladies I don't know what I would do without this site!!!

Hi mssk

How are you today ?

I'm glad to hear your hubby is intending to look after himself better. Is he on any meds for his heart condition ? Must be very scary for you both ! Again I'm sorry you had to go through that, talk about stress !! But fingers crossed his health will be ok now

Wishing away the next 2 cycles for you I hope at the end of it you get your BFP ! Would be sooo nice if all us ladies could be bumb buddies

what supplements are you taking/buying? I've ordered more inositol for next cycle and I need to get a decent b complex to take and I still need to research soy iso as I'm considering that for next cycle.

Sorry to hear of your friends insensitivity ! Lets hope it doesnt happen again...tut tut x

I highly recommend Soy if you need assistance ovulating! First cycle using it got my with our son! I got a bottle right after the MC in preparation I just hope I dont need it lol its great stuff! Also a multi vitamin called Geritol (old wives tale is that theres a baby in every bottle, there was in mine!)

Powell, I'm just looking at soy iso for next cycle but not sure what brand to get. The highest rated brand is swanson but someone has said on there that theres only 2% iso in each capsule :/ and also what dosage do you need to take ? Or how many capsules each day ? Thanx x

WHEN should you take soy?
You take Soy Isoflavones, like Clomid, on either CD 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9.
If you take soy Isoflavones during the later time bracket, for example CD 5-9, you shall strengthen the egg that has already started growing producing a healthier egg. The earlier in your cycle you take It, the higher your chance of releasing multiple eggs but these eggs will not be as mature as the eggs grown from taking Soy later.�
A lot of women will choose the middle cycle (3 -7) allowing time for a strong and healthy egg to develop without erasing the chance of a second egg being developed and released.

1-5 = You produce more eggs, and ovulate sooner, with a stronger ovulation.

2-6 = You produce more eggs than usual, but not as many as taking it 1-5. Eggs may be more mature, and ovulation will be slightly more strong than 1-5.

3-7 = The best of both worlds, a few more eggs, and all eggs will be strong & mature, and ovulation will be a lot stronger than 1-5.

4-8 = No more eggs will be produced, but the ones already there, will be matured alot more than usual, and ovulation will be very strong. Ovulation may only be brought forward a teeny bit.

5-9 = You'll have one very mature strong egg, from the ones you already produced on your own. Ovulation will either happen when it usually does, or a few days later, but your egg will be of great quality.

What DOSAGE should you take?
The dose is really�up to you but you should always use the lowest amount that works for you.
With Clomid the starting dose is 50mg. Soy Isoflavones are said to be half the strength of Clomid, so it makes sense for the starting dose to be 100mg.
The trouble with 100mg of soy is that the capsules tend to come as 40mg. So you have a choice of starting at 80mg or 120mg.

I would recommend that if you know that you do ovulate without taking soy then you should start with 80mg.
And if you know that you don't usually ovulate you can start with 120mg.
Some women change the dose on different days. So they may start at 120mg for the first 3 days then give an extra boost for the last 2 days with 160mg.�

Use the lowest dose possible for yourself. It is said that it takes 3months to get the full benefits of what you are taking. NEVER EXCEED 200mg/day.

I did CD3-7 in increasing doses last time but thinking about trying 4-8 with the same (similar, different brand with diff % this time) dose

I hope you don't mind me joining in. We were ttc our first, got a bfp but then had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. That was a couple of weeks ago. We were going to wait for first at then try on next cycle but we decided to just go for it straight away. I was getting tons of ewcm the last few days & it seems that I've ovulated today (only a few days later than normal).

I'm terrified though 😓 I had a scan after the mc & they said ovaries & womb look very healthy, but I've convinced myself that I'm just setting myself up for another mc.

Sorry for the ramble! Also, I'm sorry for your losses & have my fingers crossed for you all x

 

[Powell510]

Pretty sure is on her way!

 

[Powell510]

is here! Starting soy isoflavones in either 2 or 3 days ... Pretty excited because I'm pretty sure that's what gave me my with our son!

 

[happynewmom1]

Hope you all are doing well!!

Powell, good luck! I hope this Is the cycle you get your bfp!

Lazysundays, so sorry for your loss it's very possible to have an early loss and then a healthy one after so you have every reason to think positively if you do get another bfp. Good luck!

Afm, I'm having a rough day. My mom decided to really tell me everything I'm doing wrong as a parent. Maybe I shouldn't be having more seriously emotional day for me. She is a very critical person and always has been hut it still hurts.

 

[mimdan]

ICs tend to be a little more sensitive in my experience! Try a digi in a few days BUT I def see some line!

Thanx! I hope so too!

Its definitely possible to conceive after a MC. I had on cycle between my first miscarriage and my with our son and im hoping to have a repeat this time!

You're actually more fertile for a time after a MC

Yay!! Is there a picture on your thread in the pregnancy test section? Getting excited for you!!

 

[Powell510]

Fingers crossed hun!!

 

[lilyban]

Thank you ! Getting a better line on frer now so fingers crossed it keeps getting darker and that this pregnancy is a sticky !

Wow! There was definitely a line in your pic and brilliant that it's getting darker! Everything crossed that everything fans out perfectly for you :happy dance: I'm still hoping things are going right for me, although was scared the other night as woke up with terrible cramps really low down?! but none since. I guess I'll be analysing everything because of past m/c's. Best of luck to you anyway, take care

 

[Powell510]

Today is day one of Soy Iso! Feeling good about this cycle!

 

[mimdan]

Thank you ladies !! I'll keep you updated on how things progress

Powell, what CD are you now ? So hope the soy iso does its magic ! I have a good feeling for you too !

Lillian, I've had a few cramps too albeit light..I'd say back cramps are worse, feels just like AF. Try not too worry, some cramping is normal. My fingers are crossed for you

Happy, how are you doing ? How long till scan ?

How's everyone else getting along ? All OK I hope ?

I'm CD3! It worked it's magic last time so I'm hoping I'll at least ovulate since I usually don't and didn't last cycle.

Hi ladies.

I had a BFP this month. Little bean wasnt sticky and started bleeding 5 days after when my AF was due.

I am now day 5 of the bleeding and its still more than spotting but easing a bit at least.
I plan on visiting my dr when the bleeding ends as im due for a pap smear anyway and want to ask him how long we have to wait (this is first miscarriage, my only other preg resulted in healthy twin boys).

I assumed we had to wait at least a cycle but after reading this thread, i see some of you are trying again straight away? Is this what your doctors have advised is ok to do?

Of course im going to ask my doctor but you ladies have gotten me excited!

Hello! I'm so sorry for your loss

I didn't ask a doctor lol most doctors will tell you to wait a cycle or two before trying again but most of the time that is for dating purposes.. To make it easier to depict the due date. It's also sometimes for the mother as a loss has a huge affect on us emotionally. If you feel up to it emotionally and physically then I don't see the need to wait. I tried just keeping notes of when I thought I ovulated and such so get a better sense of due date. From what I've read and experienced, an early loss like that shouldn't mess up your cycle too much. My 6 week loss did cause me to ovulate super late and I think that's why I may have lost another right away. But that loss was closer to 4 weeks and my next cycle was more normal. Take care of yourself, definitely can talk to your doctor and decide what the best thing is for you to do

Mimdan, I'm fine scan is on Tuesday so getting really excited and nervous! Been feeling pretty sick recently so feeling more confident this time. How are you?? I can't wait to see more tests! How are you feeling?
