I had trouble catching on my second too and it's awful. I don't know how I did it but every month I kept plodding on. I went to see a naturopath on the end and I caught the next month xx

Minibow · 05/03/2019 12:45

I've done reflexology and now I'm on acupuncture.

How long did it take? This would be our third. With my other 2 the longest it took was 5 months.

I can't deal with the anger I have xx

It took about 10 months. I would recommend a naturopath, mine was amazing and found what I was missing mineral wise. Its horrible, and people say be grateful for the ones you have buy it's not helpful when you have the need and yearning for another xx

Loopytiles · 05/03/2019 16:53

Sorry you’re in this situation.

I focused on saving for private investigations as I didn’t have confidence in those done at the local miscarriage clinic. I also had counselling.

I avoided paying for alternative therapies, and wasn’t able, in my distress, to make any lifestyle changes, eg diet, exercise, I just got home from work and went on fertility forums!

annburton · 05/03/2019 16:53

not numbers meant bum I need to go back to school and learn how to spell soz x

Loopytiles · 05/03/2019 16:54

DH is very “stiff upper lip” and seemed fine/normal at the time, but then had some emotional fall-out once we were very lucky and had DC2.

annburton · 05/03/2019 16:58

annburton · 05/03/2019 17:01

Minibow · 05/03/2019 17:19

Hi ladies,

Hugs to you all!
I hope you don't mind me joining in this thread.
I have just had a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. Now being referred for IVF. No other option apparently.
This is After a year of private tests and IUI, which was badly managed and advised. Waste of time and money. But I've settled my complaint with them.

I'm waiting an appointment for a hysteroscopy. Biopsies and 'scrape'
Had more bloods today.

I can conceive, but can't keep it longer than a week or two.

I'm pretty sure my herbal meds, and acupuncture really helped last time. It's the longest I've been pregnant, but I just can't afford the acupuncture right now.

Does anyone have any suggestions on increasing blood flow to the uterus?

ginandtonicformeplease · 05/03/2019 21:22

Wishful During this round the doctor put me on viagra as that increases blood flow.

Wishful30 · 05/03/2019 21:25

@ginandtonicformeplease
Ooh... that's interesting!

I've just been reading about vitamin e helping 🤷🏻‍♀️
