TTC After a Loss

The Fight to see a bfp again

I am More then Ever Determined to get a BFP....  I just bought some OPK off of Amazon and some fertile tea for my Next Cycle, I have been taking PN for 3 months so tha area is covered, hey what the heck, it's worth a try....  One thing that is Odd - My period after my mc changed, I went from a 25 day cycle to 29 - So I am hoping that is my Body readjusting it self for the better - as 29 days seems more normal.  The Fight Continues, just hope it doesn't take 1 1/2 years to conceive again :(   How are you fighting for your next bfp?
me: 39 DH 40 Trying to Conceive #1 Since Nov. 2010, BFP # 1 1/14/12 EDD 9/20/12 -M/C between 7-8 weeks - :( BFP # 2 10/9/12 EDD 6/16/12 - No Embryo Found 8 weeks 4 day U/S :( Waiting to Miscarry - 9 weeks today Will Try for one more BFP in 2013

Re: The Fight to see a bfp again

  • Good luck !!!

    How im fighting - IVF

  • Loading the player...
  • Good luck with your journey - it sounds like you have a plan and a positive attitude and those are the biggest things!

    It may be a few months before we can officially try - need HCG levels back to zero, then potentially HSG test (heard this is a doozie too, yay.), then fibroid surgery, then some recovery time. Still undecided if we will try a few cycles the old fashioned way, or do Clomid/Ovidrel with IUI. We'll see what our doctor says next week and go from there.

    I think I'm trying just about everything this month...OPKs, temping, green tea and POM juice CD1-O, and I think I'm going to try pineapple core post-O too.  And I'm going to try to restrict my alcohol intake (can't hurt, right?).  Best of luck to you!

  • I am sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board. If you haven't already, take a look at the blog, it is linked at the top of the board or can also be found in some people's siggy.

    I am currently TTA so I'm not fighting for a BFP. Just at a stand still.

  • I Started Drinking Green Tea Yesterday too - Hmm Pom Juice and Pineapple core, never heard of using them...  I have a pineapple sitting on my counter for a week now, maybe I need to cut into it... What are the benefits.

  • Sorry for your loss... I hope you get your bfp soon!

    I am not TTC yet it's too early. I have to wait for HCG levels to drop fully and then when I finallly get my first cycle I will need to get my progesterone levels checked just n case thats what cause the problem this last time. So.. we have some things to get sorted which hurts because I don't want to wait but I know it's absolutely for the best. Physically and emotionally.

    How I am fighting when the time comes:

    Progesterone levels checked, then lots and lots of BDing! lol 

    in the meantime taking each day as it comes.

    ((HUGS)) to you!

  • We're having sex!

    Except sex doesn't get me pregnant and we can't do another IUI til I get AF a second time (still waiting for the first one so it could be awhile).

    Does that mean we're TTA? LOL. 

    Six years of infertility and loss, four IUIs, one IVF and one very awesome little boy born via med-free birth 10.24.13.

  • Good luck with getting your BFP!


    Once we can start TTC again (right now I'm waiting for HCG to drop to 0), I plan on temping, using OPKs, and taking Evening Primrose Oil from CD1 to O. I'll also try green tea, POM, and pineapple core here and there, but nothing too regimented. I did all those things for the first time the cycle I got my BFP, so I'm hoping that means there's something to them.


    From what I've read, pineapple core is to assist implantation and should be eaten from O to 5 DPO (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong). I just put a square of pineapple core in my smoothie for a few days after O.

    Good luck, I hope you get a BFP soon.  This cycle I went back to charting, started using OPKs for the first time and am trying to stay hydrated and relatively well-fed.

    This.  And pomegranate juice helps thicken your lining.  I believe this information is in the TTCAL blog that PP pointed out.  Definitely worth a read!

  • Raspberry Leaf Tea is also useful for your lining.   I havent seen anyone outside of IVFers using Pineapple core though.

    Also, if you are currently in the 2WW, you should not be drinking green tea.  It can interfere with implantation.

  • WOW Ladies - Great Info here!  

    So I am Curious on the Pineapple Core - were talking Fresh Pineapple core not a Supplement though right?  Also Pom and  Raspberry leaf sound like something I have to try too - I'm 38 and after being on the pill for so many years, I don't have a heavy period.. I often wonder if that is why I mc'd.  

     Keep the info going and glad to know were all fighting together!!!
