Are you (a) tired of ttc (b) have sore ladybits from SWIing ! If this sounds like you then hop aboard.

I have an image in my head now that I am not sure I can shake. Iced with her hands stuck up her lady bits. I think I might need counselling. You could call 999 and get a dishy fireman to saw off your hand so you can live a normal life again.

BTW the thought of checking my cervix - nope its not going to happen. Bad enough temping and OPKs also known as pissing on those darn sticks.

Polly the symptoms were dealt with better when I took clomid at night so thats my biggest advice. The symptoms were worst those few days & about a week afterwards! It did work to make me ovulate so I can;t fault it. Just the little bugger didn't stick or never met up with DH's boys!

Digi know what you mean. Not sure if I have had EWCM cos nothing when I go to the loo but it the bath it def felt a bit slippery down there (soz 4 tmi)! I just don't know whats going on!

Confuzz I have PCOS too! Bloody pain aint it!

PMPL Iced!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a good friday night!!!

NHS: Can you summon outside assistance

Lemon: I can't get out of myself let alone the cubicle

NHS: Well how are you talking to us then?

????Stuck now... answers on a postcard please...

Hi Confuz, virtual chocs and booze definately don't count!

pmsl at image of Iced stuck in a cubicle...

Wow - this is such a good thread. Hello [waves] everyone.

WE've been TTC for 9 months now & trying to give the old sex life a kick start. TO make things worse I found out have PCOS so can't even predict the best days to get to it - we're trying every other day from now on.

I've stupidly given up chocs and booze for lent too [v silly move] but will be eating the biggest choclate brownie in history come easter

Happy weekend xxx

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Am really annoyed with my stupid fucking body now.

Yesterday cervix clamped shut in morning, then later in the evening had ewcm did a quick check and it was frickin open again. Didn't manage to swi.

Then this morning cervix was slammed shut again. So presumed yesterday night was just a one off. Lo and effin behold I get ewcm in the work loos, am not sticking my fingers up my foof at work so am not checking again. But I bet it's wide open again. What am I to take from this?

I'll tell you what it means: my body hasn't got a fucking clue how to hatch an egg. Mixed messages all over the shop can only mean an anovulatory cycle.

So yet more swi needed. I just want to know if I have ovulated or not. And if not, am I going to or not. God, CD32 or whatever I should not still be having this conversation with myself.

FWIW loujalou I had acupuncture when ttc#1. The cycle I had it ended up being shorter than usual (35days) but annovulatory. I didn't have it the next cycle as it fell over the Xmas holidays, however that was the cycle I got a bfp! So perhaps it did something.

I have already offered sexual favours.

Hi all, still here! Still only at one shag for this month, but dh has gone to bed early and we are going out 2moro night for dinner (so won't be too late to bed!!) so hopefully an early night 2moro which I get to join in!! Hooray. Too late for swi this month but sff would be a nice change!

Good luck with getting your dh to do his sample lou , it took me months to get mine to do his, and he has not yet gone for the results and it will be 3 weeks on monday since he took the sample in. (not that I am counting) Will have to nag again next week.

I am going to give the acupuncture for this cycle. We will see. PMA PMA!!

Thanks Fairy! Did you get the symptoms when you took the drug, or was it all the time? I did look at some of the Clomid threads but felt a bit of a fraud as we can't start it for a month or two yet (waiting for hormone levels to drop sufficiently). Perhaps I will lurk in stealth mode until we have the drugs in my grubby little mitts.

Know what you mean - I can't keep doing the acupuncture indefinitely, it would bloody bankrupt us!

Polly I was on clomid for 6 months. It gave me regular AF but also regular PMT, some panic attacks, headaches & other symptoms. I've been off it a month now & at the time i hated taking but did it cos I thought it'd give us a baby but now it doesn't seem as bad as it felt at the time. It made me ovulate which was a bonus but don't know why we missed it or didn't stick!

No we don't have any children so am waiting on IVF but giving it a go to see if natural effects work!

I also did accupuncture before starting clomid. i enjoyed it but it got a bit expensive!

You could always join my other thread Clomid part IV as we've all been on clomid recently or still on it. Tons of advice there!
For some strange reasons my stomach muscles ache today!!!

I have a swollen tongue and my kidney yang is deficient - my pulse was practically non-existent for the first couple of appts, but is getting stronger now hoorah! The kidney yang is related to the blood and your LP/progesterone etc, but that is about as much as I remember.

I think the needles work by tapping into your various energy streams, lymph system etc, and because they are metal they give a slight electrical charge. It helps move the energy round and clear blockages. Sounds v hippy trippy but its been used for thousands of years to treat so many different things. Keep the faith Lou! Whether it works by changing your energy, or works because you think it will work, I don't really care, but faith is all. Its definitely helped bring down my hormone levels and that is all that is important to me. Plus I feel better mentally and more positive since I started it so that is a big bonus. Anyway, I will get off me soapbox!

Yay to the witch Lia as Polly says tis wrong to congratulate some one on it but at least you can move on.

Anyways back to me!!! Have survived the needles. She said I had a "swollen" tongue and weak kidney pulse. Can anyone translate?? Twas ok and am still in one piece. Though did lie there thinking how are these needles going to help me get duffed. We will see.

thanks polly now I know where I am, am pleased the long wait is over.

Hehe, seems wrong to congratulate you on red witch Lia but 'Yay'!!!

YEY came on this morning!!!!

a rest then back on the wagon.

woohoo

ooh, weirdness... actually enjoyed It last night. A bit anyway. Which is good, right?? The big/little/any kind of o hasn't put in an appearance since, well, well before dd was born... but almost did!!! Wowie!!!

Perhaps part of deciding that we're not NECCESARILY s with intent. In a kindof 'if it happens it happens' way. We've already got one Christmas baby, see. So in two minds about whether to try to have another. like.

ho hum.

On the stone floors/pottytraining topic, it's quarry tiles so hopefully should be ok...

Good luck with the needles, lou. Idea makes me shudder, urgh, but i'm sure it works and isn't as bad as my overactive imagination makes it out to be!

Needles is today. Yikes. Should have had my legs waxed.

Morning laydeez. Hope you are all well. So TG decided he was horny last night - I think this was AFTER I'd bloody ov'd. FFS! So now the dreaded 2woofling starts...

Lou thanks for that link - I have duly downloaded the CD and will put it on my iPhone so I can listen to it in bed. We did hypno-birthing with Boo and I loved it, so I am really hoping it will help me chill out. What day is your needles appt? Good luck for that, I really hope it helps

Hey Lia I am hating the sex at the mo, and hoping the hypno CD will help get over the ttfc = unenjoyable chore, as I don't really want future child to be conceived during me being bored out of my skull and composing shopping list in head, whilst TG is doing the biz.
