What can I try??

[Littleperson]

Still not had a period since my d&c after miscarriage in December!

I don’t know what’s going on wether it’s just taking its time or potential ashermans syndrome and because of Covid I won’t be helped anytime soon! Was referred for a scan by my doctor and hospital said no!

So throw all your fertile remedies at me! I’ve got Holland and Barrett ‘her conception’ capsules and eating flaxseed! The month I fell pregnant I drank pineapple juice but because of lack of period I have no idea where I am in a cycle! Should I drink it anyway?!

anything you can think of, medications I can buy! Anything!!!! Getting desperate now!!!

Also anything I shouldn’t do?!?!!! I don’t smoke, ament overweight or underweight and rarely drink!

Oh no, I'm so sorry you're having such a bad time. I didn't ovulated until 13 weeks after my d&c, I had a period at 11 weeks.
I didn't do anything special when I got pregnant again, just a relaxed cycle since I was getting so fed up of TTC, I was even considering taking a break from it. I did take folic acid, multivitamins, extra vit. D, Omega 3 and iron tablets and religiously and still do. I do drop the iron from time to time because I don't want to over do it.
I had noticed my ewcm increased when I started taking folic acid. I don't know if that is a common side effect in women?!

As for kick-starting your cycle, I have no clue. I think you need medical aid asap. Have you tried contacting another GP to get referred?x

Thanks kitana! You’re so good at responding! I did read your last response in the miscarriage section but was feeling so low I didn’t respond even though it was me that reached out for advice in the first place!

all local doctor surgeries here are linked to the same hospital and it’s the hospital that’s put the breaks on seeing women for fertility related issues just now so wouldn’t make any odds where I went! Looked into acupuncture but that’s also closed due to covid! Just a rubbish time in the world for this sort of thing because there’s bigger fish to fry which I get but it’s torturous for me in the meantime! Xxx

I was thinking about you the other day wondering how you were getting on. I'm so sorry your having such a shit time of it. I really hope you get your rainbow baby soon.

I have pcos and they recommend Myo-Inositol to help regulate cycles. I also found this online. I really do hope it helps xx

I'm sorry you're having a rubbish time. It was over 2 months for me to get a period after my mc. It's truly rubbish that because of the covid situation you cant get seen about this, dont feel guilty for how you feel because there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!

A few months before I finally got my bfp, I started doing fertility yoga. I was already doing yoga but there is a woman on YouTube called Bettina Rae who has practices for lots of different things including encouraging blood flow to your uterus. I had also started drinking pomegranate juice every day, and I was taking a prenatal, plus folate, and omega 3 dha. Sounds like you're doing everything right though, and just need that period to come. Itll happen, when the time is right. I didnt get my bfp until almost a year to the day after my mc! I believe it took so long because I was too obsessed and not really ready for it. Please keep positive and let us know how you get on x

 

[mummybear2]

So sorry you’re still going through this. I’m sorry I don’t have any advise but wanted to stop in and let your know I’m thinking about you, and I hope things get back to normal soon so you can get your rainbow baby

 

[Oliviasmommy]

Have you had any spotting at all? Have you taken a test to see it is completely negative?

 

[Littleperson]

Thanks everyone!!!
Crazy chick I bought everything off that list today lol! Thank you!
And Natalie I’m deffo going to check out that YouTube channel!
I’ve always wanted to get into yoga so bows better than ever!!!


I had one day when I had a tiny bit of brown stuff and I thought it was going to lead to a period and it didn’t which was very frustrating!

I take a pregnancy test every week to rule out pregnancy because for all I know I might ovulate and catch an egg and not get a period... but they’re always negative!

I’ve got some period cramp like feelings going on just now but I’ve had this a few times and it led to nothing so I’m not very hopeful! Xxx

You're definitely on top of things, I'm sure it will come soon and you'll get your rainbow too! One thing I didnt mention is acupuncture - I absolutely recommend this but obviously you wont be able to get it right now. They can tailor it for TTC, but even with that aside it made me feel fantastic in myself and I absolutely loved my sessions! I'm gutted I haven't been able to continue because of lockdown and I'll be getting booked back in as soon as I can lol x

 

[CrazyChic]

I wish you all the luck in the world hun, hope that period or Bfp comes very soon xxx

is it possible to have a consultation with your doc via skype? I know many clinics offer such possibility nowadays. All the best

Thanks for your reply! Have had two consultations over the phone! They don’t want to do blood work because it would mean going in several times to check hormone levels etc and they think that’s too risky just now with the pandemic when I’m still young and not in any pain! So they referred me for the scan to see if we could get some quicker answers with just a one time visit and the hospital refused that! So stuck in limbo til either my period arrives or lockdown ends... whichever comes first!

Have upped my game!
have started yoga and really enjoying it and while I’m doing it I’m trying to do the power of positive thinking and visualisation too!

I got vitex delivered and have started that as well as omega 3 capsules! Have also ordered folate, coq10 and red clover! Waiting for all that to arrive!

doing 3 cups a day of home made belly warmer with apple cider vinegar, fresh chopped ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and chilli powder!

never wanted a period so badly in my life!!!

Good luck, sounds like you've got this in hand! You're being healthy and positive and that the best way to be. Personally I did positive affirmations and visualizations, and I feel theres a lot to be said for it. Your mind is more powerful than you think! Keep us updated
