Cycle buddies!

[Sam15]

Ooh, lots of positive signs there girls! Good luck to all 3 of you testing tomorrow. I hope to see BFPs all over the place in the morning...definitely time this thread had some BFPs and hopefully that will bring me, millielaura and Carys luck!

Go girls!!

Xxx

Thanks Sam,
I hope one of us gets a Bfp for Valentine day
I'm still not hopeful but I can't wait to poas! !
Hope your feeling ok Sam, I will probably be joining you to try for a March Bfp (already put my name on the testing thread )

 

[Sam15]

I find this need to POAS really funny, as I'm the opposite! Having said that, I can't wait to start testing for ov next week!!

I'm good thanks, just itching to get lucky! You wouldn't believe what a change acupuncture has made - little period pain compared to normal, looks like it's going to be 3 day period instead of the usual 5/6 days and no anxiety. I'm really impressed! Just hope the next stage is a bfp!!

A Valentine's Day bfp would be amazing - I so hope you're lucky, you really deserve it

hope you all get valentines bfps
Oh sam15 i am so desperate for acupuncture now for both my anxiety and for my short/irregular cycles. It's expensive but a part of me thinks I should give it a go whilst waiting for referral as I'd be willing to pay for fertility treatment etc so why not give it a shot first. I might just be stupid but I'm having problems finding one near me, like I know there is people who do it but I read you need to make sure they are accredited etc..how do I do that!? Angel you said you went in/near leeds didnt you? I have a feeling itl be more expensive in a town than in a city so may be worth petrol money to go to leeds or somewhere! Mainly want it for anxiety as I think if my anxiety went then my cycles would be better!

Oooh id use a superdrug over a poundland for early testing as they are more sensitive i think xxxx

 

[angel6901]

Glad the Acupuncture is working well for you, ive only had one session as with work commitments I've had to cancel my last appointment and haven't had chance to re book

I think next cycle I'm determined to carry on with it and also listen to my visualisation CD, have you been listening to it? I did up to Ovulation but not much since,

Good luck for the morning Georgesmum and anji xxx

 

[millielaura]

Oohh I forgot about the cd!! Lol do you still have the link? I want it!xx

 

[millielaura]

How often do you have acupuncture sam? xx

 

[angel6901]

Millielaura I used one near Leeds but it just depends where u live, it would be worth trying even if you get prescribed Clomid, it's good for stress anxiety and relaxation
And im sure it helps TTC xxx

 

[millielaura]

Yes I think it'l defo help me with ttc as my panic attacks and anxiety can't be helping things!
Did you just google acupuncturists and check out their websites? Xx

 

[millielaura]

What do you think of this? http://www.acupuncture-york.co.uk/80195/info.php?p=1 says she has a special interest in fertility problems!xx

 

[angel6901]

She sounds really good millielaura , are you near York? I love York we've been for a few romantic weekends there

The lady who does my acupuncture is a fertility specialist too and she's lovely
I would definitely make an appointment xxx

 

[Sam15]

I agree, she sounds really good! I literally just googled and looked at websites! My acupuncturist said stress/anxiety can have a big impact on ttc, so I do think it would benefit you. I've been 3 times and next going in a week. I have to see him at certain times in the cycle eg around implantation time. Said you have to allow 3 months to have an effect and wouldn't carry on past 6 months.

Emma - I did make a big effort last month with the cd but should have started it already this cycle but haven't! Might try tonight.

I was researching supplements today and it's such a bloody minefield! I think I'm quite well covered but wonder if I should be taking more. Royal Jelly sounds good, as does maca, but I don't want to take for the sake of it!!

Xx

 

[millielaura]

I've messaged the number, she does sound good doesn't she! I live in a town half an hour away from York I used to live in York for uni though, loved it

Ooh I was looking into maca also, I'm not sure though about supplements now that the soy iso didn't work for me lol! Just going to stick to my conception vits I think .xxx

 

[angel6901]

At the moment I'm taking lots of supplements and I went to Holland and Barrett today snd bought some 'supergreen' powder which has wheatgrass, and lots of other good green veg and herbs in, it was half price so couldn't resist

I take EPO , Maca, Agnus cactus, Spirulina and Conception vits which contain folic acid

I feel healthier anyway! Xxx

 

[millielaura]

I have some spirulina but says to take 3 times a day before meals and I always forget lol!!xx

 

[angel6901]

Oh and I've started drinking Nettle tea ...which I googled and is good for conception! ! It tastes ok I try to drink 2 cups a day, full of vitamin apparently xxx

 

[angel6901]

Spirulina tastes rank! But it's got the most iron minerals and vitamins than anything you can take apparently xxx

 

[Sam15]

Emma - you must feel amazing with all that!! Let me know if the supergreens are ok - I read about them too and they also sounded worth a try!

Nearly testing day

Xx

 

[millielaura]

Ooh I love herbal teas.. i like the sound of nettle tea! Do you have the spirulina powder? Mine are the tablets!
Annoyed at OH. Saw yet another preg announcement on fb and we were half watching TV and I said about fed up of seeing them and he just turned round and went OH will you just SHUT up about it all. I was like its not fair and he was like lifes not fair nothing you can do. And I said how crap I feel when I see pregnant women and how I feel rubbish compared to any woman I see as always think more than likely shes more fertile than me. I said if he doesnt get bothered at all at preg announcements then he clearly does not understand how much I want a child. "Whatever" was his response so I've come upstairs to get a bath in a huffbefore I lost it with him. They just dont get it its so easy for them. All these tests etc women have to have for a referral and all they have to do is put some sperm in a container ..they just do not get it xxx

Millie wish I could give you a big hug
Men are SO insensitive sometimes, I know my OH doesn't understand how I feel, and I know you've been TTC longer than me, when we were TTC my LO it took 17 months but he was worth it, and I conceived him on my 3rd cycle of Clomid, so you will do it sweetie you will get your baby
