2ww#3 - hope, hormones and help

@lisara79 TWW is hell! If any consolation I had no symptoms with DS would not have known I was pg if I hadn't tested but last time I had implantation bleeding and every symptom you can think of and that ended in mc so you never know!

ah well ladies im feeling decidedly un pregnant. cd 28 here and got a little bit excited as sore boobs but seems its just pms.

did a one step cheapy this morning ( tho AF isnt officially late so wasnt wasting a FRER) and got a bfn although it wasnt with fmu. dont think that will make a difference really.

just waiting for AF to arrive now. feel a bit crap for a multitude of reasons but another month down the drain.

@littlemimosa I'm finding it quite repetitive and a bit preaching tbh but I do agree with some of the principles like visualisation and positivity.

Rhi - just looked at the Secret on Amazon. Would love to read it. How are you finding it? It's in my wish list.

Speaking of books has anyone read It Starts with the Egg? There was a thread about it and it sounded v interesting. Think I might invest in both... expensive but cheaper than fertility treatments I guess.

@lisara79 - I am so getting a pedicure first! 😂

Good luck @littlemimosa I'm also trying positive visualisation and I'm reading The Secret.

@Melodypond17 I'm a total convert to alternative therapies. Anything is worth a shot.

@lisara79 I've had acupuncture for pain relief and it worked wonders, I've heard it's really effective for fertility.

I've already said once af arrived and it's def all over for this month I'm going to give reflexology a go...

I credit reflexology with getting me pregnant with both my children.

It's not working for me this time but I am a fair bit older. Sob.

If nothing else it is very relaxing and calming.

I'm officially into another 2ww. Ovulated today CD 12 so here we go. Am determined to stay relaxed and not symptom spot this time.....hmmmmm. !

Had a reflexology session last night and af has arrived with full force today. Getting back on track

ive resolved not to test until sat when af is due. i think im around 10dpo today. boobs a little tender but could be af gearing up. its usual for me around now.

Bfn.
Af due any day - no set date as my cycles are all over the place.
Fingers crossed for everyone else x

Evening ladies, hope everyone is ok.
My username- sorry you're feeling like af is coming. It's not over til she does though.
Rhi - good luck with your new cycle.
I agree on reflexology. I loved it! Soooo relaxing.
I'm CD 10 so it's operation get DH in bed;) here.

oh bless you....try not to take too much to heart! i hope your cycle sorts itself out - it will.
its hard enough without it pissing about!

@myusernamewhichisthis feeling totally meh. AF has now stopped...wtf? Went shopping to buy a new outfit as going out for my birthday on Friday, tried it on for DH and he said it looked 'alright'...taking it back.

i know how you feel Rhibee

it was 6 weeks for me after my loss and although its hard at least you arent in limbo anymore and like you say - you can track.

best of luck !

i think im around 8 dpo but i dont think im pg. my boobs are usually the giveaway for me and they dont look or feel any different at all. i know its early and im trying to stay positive but its so tough. im cd 24, so af isnt late for another week, ovia says i can test in 4 days but i dont waste tests any more - ill just wait for af which is normally around the 30 day mark. i think im going to try a fertility lube next cycle, someone on here recommended conceive plus.

feel a bit meh today.

AF has arrived, strange to be happy about it but now I can start tracking my cycle again!

i would pay for clomid but not fertility treatment and im not sure if they would want to monitor clomid use with scans etc? figure it could get expensive.
ill discuss on tues but i also got told by my gp there was nothing could be done for me on the nhs.

Totally agree.... especially when the children are on the man’s side... it’s our god given right to bear children and i think they need to re-look at the whole thing, especially the age issue.... at least make is equitable for everyone and not have this postcode lottery of what you do and don’t get! My Dr said the fertility treatment age cut off point is archaic and not in line with today’s society..... hopefully one day they’ll look at it put it right for future generations.... I can’t see children of today being able to afford children until their older with the way costs keep increasing..... okay rant over.....

Hi Melody - oh that’s pants..... I can’t stand this NHS postcode lottery, where one area will provide clomid and tests and another won’t. When we were in Surrey we got basic tests but no offer of Clomid. My consultant here in Cornwall was surprised that Clomid was not offered after 2 years of trying as I was 39 then. But Surrey didn’t support fertility if one of the couple had children. So unfair.... I have to say cornwall have been brilliant so far...
