Glad it worked out.Are you thinking of selling the bch or holding?
Use the same derivation path as electrum or import the exact same wallet.
this worked!!! thank you so much all of you<3

In electron cash there's a little icon in the bottom status bar that lets you toggle between address types. Click on that and perhaps your history will also update. Otherwise I suggest you ask for help in one of their support communities. The FAQ link on electroncash.org suggests github and telegram support channels.
BannedDK, Electrum is actually created for BTC and it is not a multi-coin wallet, because of that you have access only to BTC. Since Electrum is open-source anyone can fork it and adjust code for some other coin. Abdussamad provides a link for electroncash version of Electrum, and by entering your 12 seed words in that wallet, you will get access to BCH.
What is advised in such situations is that BTC should be sent to a new wallet (not only a new address), to avoid any risk and compromise BTC. In that way, your BTC should be safe, and you can use that seed to claim other BTC forked coins. Be very careful when selecting wallets, always use the official site of the coin you want to claim.

do the same thing you did with electrum using electron cash which is a third party version of electrum for bitcoin cash
So, breadwallet is apparently so bad that i cant recovery through their own app with my 12 words. tried on IOS and android, new phones, old phones and it cant sync. their support sucks and got no solution.
Found a post about using electrum and i worked. i can see all my BTC and history. But... My Btc cash is not showing.
The only reason i got Btc cash is when they split the first time and i got the same amount as i had in BTC. breadwallet just added them to my wallet.
Now i want them out but i cant figure out how, please help me
