Advice and support?

I just joined this group because I need people who understand me and what I'm going through. I had a stillbirth in March, my beautiful daughter was born at 37 weeks. We aren't totally sure what happened.

We've since decided to ttc again and it's taking a toll on me especially since our daughter was very much wanted and we were actively trying. I've since gotten my second pp period, but my first cycle was a bit wonky compared to my normal cycles which is of course to be expected.

I'm currently in my second cycle, CD 17. My first cycle was 24 days and so i'm hoping that this cycle lasts longer since my luteal phase was only roughly 8 days. I'm struggling to not get so invested in trying that I get stressed but it's really hard especially hearing stories about secondary infertility and I can't help think she was my one and only baby I'll have.

I need advice on how to encourage my body to regulate, if I can avoid medications I'd prefer to. I've been taking prenatals and other supplements but I feel like my body is working against me, though it's only been two cycles it's hard. I waited 4 months to finally fall pregnant and an extra nine just lose her in a day. I've been waiting my turn so I'm just wondering when I'll get to experience motherhood.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have had two miscarriages and my obgyn told me to wait at least 3 months before trying again to let my body get back to "normal". I wouldn't stress too much about secondary infertility. I think maybe your body just needs a little longer for all the hormones to even out and set back to your "normal".

It took me 11 months to get pregnant which resulted in a loss, another 6 months to get pregnant with my daughter, after her birth we waited a little but once we started trying it took another 8 months to get pregnant which also resulted in a loss, then another 3 months and currently pregnant with a son.

I found the LH strips helpful to track my cycle and ovulation. I also use the premom app to help track everything.

Thankyou i'm sorry for yours too:/ I was using the premom strips for a while but then went back to the clearblue advanced just because it's what I used the first time I conceived.

I'm currently using Tempdrop monitor and the clearblue thing. Its been 3 months already so I'm hoping this is my last "weird" cycle.

Implant

Hey! Me and my partner are talking about trying for our second baby. I currently have the implant in my arm, has anyone ever had the implant removed to try and how long did it take to conceive? I know everyone’s different but just looking for people’s experiences to try work out when to get it removed. Tia🙂

NHS IVF - how fast did you start?

We've been told we're top of the list, to expect to wait about 10 weeks.
We've not had a planning appointment yet, and are doing another sperm sample next week.
How soon could I expect to start treatment?

Early positive or evap?

I’m 14dpo, but 12dpo was very negative. It’s a pinky faint line in person.

Fertility

Hello, I’m just coming on here. I was diagnosed with endometriosis last year. This year, my Hubby and I have been trying for another baby but have had no success. Of course really the only option is fertility pills or IVF and our insurance does not cover that. Wondering if anyone has any natural solutions that helped them if they were in the spot. Thank you so much.💖💖💖

Thoughts please!!!!

I took a test today because I was going to star the opill today. When I first looked, I THOUGHT I saw something but couldn’t tell, it also hadn’t been full waiting time either. I took a pic and inverted it and still couldn’t tell. When my timer went off I looked again and I saw this. Help. I’ve never used these ones and I have a 4 month old and a 22 month old 😅 (I’ll post the pics I took from when I thought I saw something and that inverted pic in the comments) pic with the post is what the test looked like at the timer (yes there’s a little hair on it I dropped the damn test shocked and scared af 😅 the line is also pink in person just faint)

Is this possible?

I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant. My period hasn’t come, I got a positive test. My last two tests after have been negative but I haven’t had any bleeding. Idk if it’s bc of how much I’ve been drinking though as of the heatwave I’ve been drinking so much
