    Miscarriage 10/8/19 ttc...

    Hi Atomic,
    i am 14 dpo today - i ovulated 1st September 2019
    I got this this morning. not sure what to think of it? it doesnt seem very strong tbh? so i am suspicious either a pending chemical Or Old HCG from old baby? if thats even possible?

    IMG_20190915_071237363.jpg

    very suspicious isn't strong enough for a actual bfp?

    also, i need advice on dropping supplements which i might start doing just incase... im taking 1 scoop myo, 300mg coq10 (both are daily). the other one is just a general pregnancy multivitamin (which ill continue obviously) opps forgot and i am taking 200mg folate and i might keep this going because before pregnancy i had low folate anyway.

    To add, i just went to buy my pregnancy multivitamin supplement as my current one will run out after today..
    they didnt have my usual in stock and i had to buy one without the omega 3 supplement that comes with it which ordinarily has: Fish Body Oil 477 mg
    providing: DHA 200 mg. Feel like i need some kind of sub for this.. options are: 540mg fish oil, 117 dha and 177 epa with vit e at 11mg a-TE??
    or.. 1000mg fish oil, 180mg eph, 120 dha no mention vit e but probably has the same thing as other one

    I prefer the lower dose fish oil. The higher doses have seemed to contribute to bleeding from the placenta called subchorionic hemorrhage, which can cause miscarriage.

    Have you gotten a negative test since the miscarriage?

    It seems plenty dark to me for a positive (nowhere near faint like a chemical). But if you haven't had a negative test or a 0-5 reading on your HCG test then we can't know for sure yet.

    How can i get off Myo & CoQ10 safely? Taking 300mg coq10 & 1 scoop myo a day

    Re fish oil ill go for a low, safe dose

    I hope its a new pregnancy. I can only guess it is as no AF and i defo ovulated, all the temps etc are good! & usual signs show O happened.

    LOL no need to lie, it is actually very common not to test after a loss. We just don't want to see that negative test.

    I hate to say it but I need to let you know I find it very unlikely that your HCG levels dropped and then you ovulated in such a short time span, particularly given how far along you were at the time of the loss. Anything is possible but my gut instinct tells me this is most likely from the original pregnancy and not a new one. I hope I'm wrong.

    I would be more inclined for you to have a blood test, if the levels are higher than they were the last time we will know it's a new pregnancy. I would wait as long as possible, as long as you can stand, before testing again.

    I would just start spacing the doses on myo and coq out further and further till down to one per week, then you can drop them.

    If your HCG was still above 5 it is very unlikely that ovulation happened. Your HCG would have had to drop very quickly to 0-5 and then your body would have very quickly had to make enough FSH (which the HCG prohibits) to grow a follicle to be ovulated. All this happening between August 22nd and Sept 1 seems unlikely to me, I'm sorry to say.

    I know there are some people on line who will swear they did ovulate when their HCG was high, and they will tell you this is because "my period came so I know I ovulated". But they mistook a breakthrough bleed from dropping estrogen with a true period coming. They had a bleed without ovulating and assumed it meant they ovulated when they didn't, and mistook their breakthrough bleed with a true period.

    That having been said, we did have 2 separate people on here who had a higher HCG level (teens/20's) and then did ovulate (and we know they ovulated because they got pregnant.) So all hope isn't lost, I just don't want you to get really excited just yet since we don't know what's happening.

    hi atomic quick question is biotin at 400ug ok to take if your pregnant? it says its 400% rda?
    likewise with high doses of vitamin b6 at 10mg (714% rda) and b1 5mg at 455% rda?
    is vitamin e at 100% rda safe?
    thanks and sorry for all questions again!

    which would be better tho - a pregnancy supplement with 76% rda vit E but 400ug/400% biotin

    or vit e at 33% with v1 and b6 at 455,714% rda?

    i do think at the moment i could be pregnant, but at present just taking vitamin d3 and folate. need to sort a multivitamin asap but dont want to make any mistakes this time, last one miscarried 7weeks+6 so i am concerned something went wrong with placenta or other and might be a deficiency at fault?

    do i need omega 3 in my pregnancy? some say yes, some say no. neither of above tablets come with omega 3.

    i shall stop asking question now!
    oh, to add tell me if im wrong but when i get multivit i might carry on the folate at half dose,200mg so total really folicacid/folate would be 600mg. again i was deficient at one point in life (years ago now but..)

    Higher B6 is better than higher biotin altho that level of biotin is also likely fine.

    We ~think~ Vit E at 100% is safe. There's been some conflicting info about supplemental E so I can't say for SURE if anything is safe but anything 100% and lower is believed to be ok.

    Again, and I'm sorry to go on and on about this but the most likely (by far) cause of miscarriage at that stage gestation is chromosomal. Sperm, egg, or the way they combined. So many things have to go just right for a pregnancy to work itself out - the miracle is not when something goes wrong, but that it goes right as often as it does

    It is very very unlikely for people in First World counties unless you've had a history of severe eating disorders and a very low BMI, to be deficient in any nutrients to such extent to cause a loss. We have a lifetime of eating and storing nutrients and as long as you've got a normal BMI and don't have any underlying health issues the odds are very high this was just sheer bad luck and nothing more than that.

    The fish oil is omega 3 so if you continue that (even at spaced out doses) the odds are you're getting enough. Or you can just take care to eat fish 2x a week (no more than that due to risks of mercury).

    I want you to continue the higher dose folate/folic acid alongside your multivitamin all through the entire first trimester and only at that point then gradually wean off. Folic acid/folate is the only nutrient every really proven to help prevent some losses (since it helps prevent neural tube defects). So just to be on the safest side, carry on with that all thru the first tri, then the neural tube will be formed and you can wean off the extra folate/FA at that time.
