Unfortunately I am miscarrying again. Started bleeding this morning and did an ultrascan. Doc couldn't find any sac and hcg level is at 324. Will take another blood test in two days to see if the hcg will increase but I am not hopeful. Sigh. I am heart broken.Quote:

Probably need to do more tests to have more insights. But I think for now we will take a break from ttc and resume next year. It's so heartbreaking to have a mc the second time round. Sigh.Quote:

I am not sure what else I can do at this point of time
:agree: Just let me know how I can help whenever you need anything.
We want to try to avoid the metformin if we can - my advice is to possibly lose 5-10 lbs and that will improve your insulin response and maybe we'll be able to prevent you going on the Metformin.
Oh but I am already underweight. I am 50kg and 169cm. Do I need to lose weight? Actually I am eating more frequently just to increase my weight.Quote:

AGH if you're already underweight then you should not be on Metformin! It can make you lose weight. Have they tested you thoroughly for lots of signs of PCOS or are just going off one???
Yikes. I cannot afford to lose any more weight.Quote:

What do you think of acupuncture? It's my first time trying it and the doc say will try to help me relax and produce better eggs but i am not 100% onboard with it. But what i do know is that i need to make sure the next time i get a bfp i do not miscarry again. it's awful to go through this.
I doubt the acupuncture does anything at all. It is something doctors have people do because most people want to feel that they're doing something. The good studies have shown it does not help anyone get and stay pregnant. But it ~may~ help you to feel relaxation and the relaxation may help reduce stress. But I would suggest doing something more like a massage instead, at the very least you will get a pleasant massage out of the deal.
They should not just prescribe you medication without proving that you have high blood sugar. Your body will not respond to having overly low blood sugar well either. Is there any way to get a second opinion?
Yes I am planning to get a second opinion in Dec to see if they could run a test or something. In the meantime I will try to not think about TTC. lol maybe a break from it is good.Quote:

You probably won't need the Vit. D, calcium, Vit C beccause the multivitamins have the same amount in them - just change one for the other, unless what you're presently taking is a much higher dose, in that case gradually wean off of the higher dose onto the lower dose.
Good people, any help here am trying to understand which way exactly that I should do to sway pink, DH is far away, my AF starts today can't ask him to release on his own, so apparently he is abstaining til end of my AF, but want to understand how to combine abstinence and compressed frequent release, maybe it has been explained earlier but am not getting it, can you help me out, DH is 37 so abstinence is not recommended but to ask him to release thats a no go

Don't do compressed frequent release with abstinence! All you'll do is undo the good of the abstain!
Yes, abstain isn't recommended for men over 35 but this is an unusual situation. Since he has to abstain anyway, let's use it as our sway tactic instead of then adding another sway tactic (that will either cut odds of concepiton OR undo the good of the abstain for your sway). The risks of abstain are small, but I just think since abstain doesn't work anyway, why not just skip it as a recommendation for many people to try - but that does not mean that I then think that abstain is going to harm babies. It just seems like a sensible precaution to avoid for those who can. But you can't avoid it, and should just do the abstain + one attempt at positive OPK.
Thanks a lot Atomic, so one attempt on positive OPK, OK thanks, its been long since dieting pple are questioning have you been sick cause I lost a lot of weight

It's time to stop losing weight then!! Just do what it takes to hold steady on weight!!
Do you want to have more attempts now??
Thanks Atomic for responding, I jus need one attempt, my AF usually 3 days and 2 days spotting, have been taking cinnamon so my Ovulation day have been pushed to day 15 this month, had 26 days but usually had 25 day, so now don't know when I expect ovulation, its been changing, its like m irregular , I have been tracking my calories but for a day they are not reaching 800 calories, I am like someone who fears to eat now, fearing to gain weight
Sent from my A7155_X4_mini using Tapatalk
I'm sorry, but that is all completely unacceptible. That is not LE Diet, that is starvation, and I am afraid you're getting an eating disorder.
NO ONE who does not have moderate to severe PCOS and lots of weight to spare should be taking cinnamon. Stop cinnamon immediately.
The absolute barest minimum for LE Diet is 1200 calories. I would rather see you at 1500-1800. If you can't get up to at minimum 1200 and better more like 1500-1800, you need to go off the diet NOW NOW NOW and go vegetarian. If you find you can't do that, you need to get help because I am really really worried about you. YOu cannot get and stay pregnant at 800 calories a day and if you are finding you're actually scared to eat and unable to get more calories then we need a professional's intervention here.
Thanks Atomic, I will add more vegetables and stop cinnamon right away, and thanks a lot, am fasting for 10 days as per our religion so I know its gonna be difficult to reach 1200 calories per day but I will try hard,
Sent from my A7155_X4_mini using Tapatalk
Vegetables are free and unlimited, you can have as much as you want, no need to count them. You need to get the 1200 cals from other things besides vegetables.
For now during the fast you need to do what you need to do, but once the fast is over please try to normalize your diet as much as you can. I am really worried aboutyou!
Thanks Atomic for being concerned will try my best to normalize the diet the vegetables are making me full before I get another food to add calories but am trying , so have a question the days for abstaining should not be over 14? So what if I gt + OPK after 14 days of abstain should I continue with 1 attempt?
Sent from my A7155_X4_mini using Tapatalk
If that is the case then cut back on vegetables. The vegetables are to help you get full AFTER you've met your needs for calories, protein, and fat.
If you get to about 7-10 days of abstain, have hubby "clean the pipes" and keep going with the abstain.
So stressful for me to wait for a positive OPK, have been temping but I stopped 2 days ago because it stressed me a lot and was having sleepless nights so now waiting for my positive OPK today cycle day 12 but still very very faint line, have 25/26 days but with out the exact day when I ovulate, wanted this cycle to work out for me, am praying that soon I will get my pos opk, and do my 1 attempt,
Sent from my A7155_X4_mini using Tapatalk
If it's stressing you out, then do an attempt just to cover and then keep testing or go to every 4 days.
Thanks for quick response Atomic, I will do that

So I BD CD13 and got my positive OPK CD14, should I stick with that one attempt m on CD 15 and should be my Ovulation day

Had some itching down there during my Ovulation, so was busy reading your post atomic about YI, so I think I ruined my sway because I BD while having some itching, I always have some itching during ovulation daysQuote:

OH sorry I only just now saw this. For best chance of pink, stick with one attempt, for better chance of conception add attempt.Quote:

Thanks Atomic only did one attempt 2 DPO waiting for bfp, fingers crossed and praying too

Fingers and toes crossed!!
Unfortunately atomic the evil witch came late as spotting yesterday and today light thought I was going to miss it, the attempt was early or am not ovulating but was having more saliva in my mouth, and craved for sweet things I could go for chocolate or cookies or sugar free bubble gums, now waiting for my AF to end would need your advice, last time I did 1 attempt a day before positive OPK, with abstain of 14 days and LE diet, less exercise, should I stick with the abstain and 1attempt or I go for e4wd, I cheated during 2ww hope I didn't ruin it

Yes I'm not convinced that is a true positive, although the symptoms are interesting.
I do not ever recommend abstains of 14 days and haven't you guys been trying for quite a while now?? I'd drop abstain and have your husband do regular releease every 2-4 days instead.
This was our first cycle, was waiting for the BC to come off my system, so this cycle will do 2-4 days but I would like to have 1 attempt only is that sound OK, with DH working far we are going to end up being in abstain for 10+ days again but not 14 I don't know maybe will try 2-4 release and 1 attempt, with the new year coming Wil be with in laws no chances for BD, but I know God have plans. I also think the abstain was long given that DH is 37

What do you do if you have a 11 day luteal phase, is that a shorter or its fine
Sent from my A7155_X4_mini using Tapatalk
Sorry to trouble Atomic can you please explain whats 2-4 days,
Sent from my A7155_X4_mini using Tapatalk
Oh I'm sorry, for some reason I thought you'd been trying for a while.
Yes keep the one attempt, have the every 2-4 day release. If he has to abstain for several days due to work, then that's ok, we just aren't going to deliberately have you abstain any more.
11 days is long enough to get pregnant but we have to be sure you're eating enough so it doesn't get any shorter. I remember you were maybe not eating as much as you should, is that still going on or did you find a way to eat a bit more?
