    Back after miscarriage and have a question about Aci jel

    Hi everyone. I recently had an early loss at 6 weeks due to 2 large subchorionic hemorrhages. I used Aci jel and am looking for some hope and stories of others who have used it and went on to have healthy pregnancies. My husband seems to think this is what caused my m/c and bleed. I was using quite a bit. I used half an applicator from AF to O twice daily as recommended then 3 hours prior to attempt and vinegar douche after.

    My question is has anyone else had a similar experience? If you did go on to have a healthy baby using Aci jel (I'm dropping the douche), how much did you use? Debating on using it again. I think I want to try it again but maybe just use half that amount. Please share your story with me! Hoping I will be back joining the group soon. I'm 3 days post D&C so I'm not sure how long I should wait to try again. Thank you in advance!

    I used a small amount of Aci-Jel and has my DS3. I only used a finger-tip full prior to BDing. Ironically, I had a very small SCH with him- it was only 10-12mm. It resolved itself by 7w and never causes another problem.

    We use KY as a lube now. The Aci-Jel irritated my DH.

    I would use whatever you feel comfortable with but in small amounts needed to make BDing more comfortable.

    FX and GL to you!!

    Hmm ironic or not? That is weird!! Maybe it makes implantation a bit harder. I was worried I had scarring but I had my dr check while doing my D&C and she said everything "felt" normal. I just worry using only a tiny amount won't work but the correct amount may cause issues. Might just not sway at all and hope for the best!

    Back after miscarriage and have a question about Aci jel

    I was told SCH's are random and normal. It happens when the embryo implants on or near a large blood vessel.

    Aci-Jel couldn't cause that directly to happen, even if you used the applicator it stays in the vagina or on the cervix.

    If you need a lube to make BDing more comfortable, Aci-Jel or whatever should be fine. It doesn't make sense that a lube inserted would affect implantation which occurs high inside the uterus. Lubes can and do affect the sperm's ability to capacitate and reach the egg.

    I have never actually seen someone use that much Acijel and conceive to be honest with you. Is it possible that in that high a quantity, some chemistry might be absorbed in enough concentration for it act like a blood thinner and contribute to SCH? I seriously doubt it. I honestly do not know because I just do not have the data. I don't think it's likely but unfortunately at the same time I just don't have the ability to say "oh yes I know 17 people who did that" either, if that makes sense. I have seen dozens of women pregnant after Acijel and had normal healthy babies, it's just that truly was a lot of Acijel.

    Were you on anything like aspirin or cranberry? Bromelian to "aid implantation"? Those things are much more likely than Acijel to contribute to SCH.

    Most people have SCH with at least one of their pregnancies. Without using Acijel.

    No and implantation seemed to occur fast. I was getting a 3+ on a digital at just 4 weeks pregnant (3+ means hcg is consistent with 6 weeks). I got a positive on a digi between 7-8 dpo and was pretty sick very early on so I'm really confused. My son kicked me in the stomach the day before and my dr swears that didn't cause it. I used nothing else to sway besides Aci jel and douche. I was shocked too that even got pregnant let alone was getting such dark lines sooo early. I was taking extra vitamin C (all natural from food sources) as well as an non synthetic pre natal from garden of life but not while I conceived. I'm not ready to give up the Aci jel yet... But I'm for sure not using the amount I did. I just want to know what the amount was that others used who had a successful pregnancy and successful sway. Mixing with other lubes seemed to have boy results as well as those who only used it the day of attempt with just a little amount. That's why I used so much.

    Yes I've read that most do. But I think bc I had 2 and so early in pregnancy that it was just too much. We saw a heart beat at 5 weeks 5 days so I was hopeful but my follow up scan showed I miscarried. My body was also not willing to accept it and my hcg was still rising as well as tissue was still growing. I ended up having an emergency D&C on Saturday
