i'm so excited for us all!!

welcome Rosduk -def know what you mean with the tests i too am agonising about them daily lol.
tell us more about chystals xx

I don't know much about crystals really but i have some rose quartz which is for love. And I have another (can't remember what it is) that my sister gave me for fertility. I am just keeping them close for extra BFP support

oooooo i have a rose quartz in my daughters room...... may have to pay a visit to where i got it from and askk for fertiity one as they can give adv , she was having nightmares and we have a black something and that rid the bad dreams! I will give everything and anything a shot! now about to start reflexology in hope :-) xxxxx

HelloKitty that's really interesting about the crystal helping dds bad dreams. Fx we can leverage some BFP help too - will see if i can find out what this fertility crystal is for you.

I know what you mean about giving other things a shot an really hope the reflexology works. It should certainly help you relax. I've gone for acupuncture and I do feel that it's helped me calm down and prepare mentally for my FET.

Yes it really helps i dare not try her without it now and she is 4 they started at about 2 crying and screaming in her sleep. Thanks pocket if you find out what it is called! Acupuncture you say? does it hurt? always thought about trying it but nerves stop me :-) hope you are having a fabe weekend! x

Hi HelloKitty hope you're enjoying the jubilee bank hol. I've eaten way too much today, feel a bit uncomfortable.

I've done some crystal research and I've got rose quartz and moonstone. This site has some good info so you could try other crystals depending on your circumstances.

Good luck and let me know what you buy.

I was really apprehensive about acupuncture but it doesn't hurt at all. It feels a but weird the first time but the needles don't hurt. In fact I often fall asleep.

x

thankyou pocket am now going to see if i can buy online :-) exciting stuff!!!! I know what you mean about eating too much we had our celebrations today with family and friends ( and a glass of pimms !) but back to healthy living tomorrow!!!! still remembering the iron and folic acid :-) !

Oooh well done thats really interesting, they sound fab. We're they part if a 'fertility' package? There are a few that aren't relevant for me but I'm definitely going to have another look at some of the others. Are you going to buy them? Someone once said to me that the crystals choose you rather than the other way round....

There's still a coupe of weeks till FET, I'm on loads of ivf meds at the moment to get everything ready and have a scan this week to see how things are doing. I'm nervous and excited, I really want this work. I just can't. Imagine a life without kids.

How are you doing? Are you feeling okay about it all? X

Thinking may need to go into shop and see if some pick me?!
was going to buy them but thinking how will they pick me?
You must try relax with all your treatment going ahad that is the key< my close family friend had IVf and she literally put her feet up until she had to test! anychance you can take some holiday?
I cantstop thinking babies at the moment but am very fortunate to have a dd age 4 but she is now struggling as all her friends have siblings and when we have play dates they are of course very protective of them and she is not allowed to cuddle them very sad to watch nd she is desperate for sibling and of course does not understand why mummy she does not get one in her tummy! I struggled falling for her and took 3 years and it was not until i had a barts refferal and first scan that i felll naturally. Have been trying this time for a year, but obv 4 years older this time and afraid that it may take twice the time to fall in which case she will be about 10 :-) and prob not that keen for siblings then! OH THE STRESS lol xxx

Hey HelloKitty how are you? I know what you mean, my head is full of babies too. This whole process just becomes an obsession doesnt it?

A friend of mine took a while to get pregnant the second time and felt the same pressure you feel re DS. But try not to stress about it, it will happen i'm sure of it. Are you temping, ov charting etc? If you've been trying for a year and had a referral last time, can you get referrred again? Seems unfair to have to just wait and keep trying...

I've got some time off from FET until OTD - and trust me, i will be sitting with my feet up resting and trying not to sympton spot! Maybe you'll be doing the same

If by just reading about the crystals you like the sound of them, then i guess that's them choosing you - if you fancy them and it makes you feel better, then just do it. I'm going shopping tomorrow lunctime to pick up some carnelian - that's the one that's calling me just now!!

x

Unsuccessful shopping today. Am going to buy some crystals online tonight, will let you know which ones choose me! X

oooooo pocket yes do tell!!! I am going to go now and have a browse!
Great to hear you will be doing nothing- feet up as apparently more oxygen to the uterus!!!!
They have started to test again having the 21 day ov test on monday!!! DP going to see gp saturday for his testing :-)
Exactly what i do every month is symptom spot lol
I use cheap online ovulation test sticks but they startfaint gradually get darker then tail off again so really just get baaby dancing for 2 weeks mid cycle lol!
Its great to have you about to chat too and realise i seem totally normal for someone TTC ;-)
I cannot wait to hear your fab news soon xxxx

Hello HelloKitty how are you doing? No crystal news from me. I need to get my act together quickly as FET is fast approaching! I'm glad I've got the rose quartz and moonstone already!! have you made a purchase?

Good luck with your and dps test sat/mon. At least you'll have something to work with. I've known a few girls on the assisted conception thread fall pg naturally after f treatment, so you never know it will all work out. Brw It's a nice thread if you fancy joining us.

Hi HelloKitty just wanted to say good luck for tests today. Thinking of you and hope you get something constructive out of the results that helps you make this all happen. X

Hi pocket- sorryno news on chrystals, but by all accounts rose seems to be the best one! i have popped my daughters on the landing to try share the energies! Now going to find the thread as would love to join you all.
DP appt went well yesterday- he has to give a sample and the gp had a good feel round of the vital organs and said all felt ok, he also adv that the prob would be me as had a MC so at least i know! had the first reflexology session of 10 booked yesterday and she said all felt ok other than thyroid slightly out and neck and sinus congestion and back trouble but non in fertility area so hoping this was good news? Have you a date for your trt yet?bet your so very excited now :-)
xxxx

Hey HelloKitty glad yesterday and your reflexology went well. Any step in the right direction is a help

I've got another scan Tuesday, then they'll be able to confirm date for FET - it'll be sometime week after next. Yes getting excited (and nervous). I'm so glad i've got time of work to make sure i'm totally relaxed from head to toe. Also isn't it nice to know you dont have to go to work

Come find us on the thread - we really are a nice bunch and you'll be in good company. xxx
