Can I join in. I'm so effing fed up with TTC. I'm currently popping B6 and starting to look at the prices of progesteronr cream. I'm also staring longingly at pregnant ladies. Every month AF comes on I have to have a half hour sniffle in the loo to grieve for the week I'd just spent convincing myself that we'd fibally managed to get a sister/brother for DD. I have had 2 pregs, 1st successfully but only conceived after a year of trying. 2nd took about a year again and resulted in mmc at 13 weeks. That happened last November. Since then nothing. Bah.

I cant afford loads of treatments, and refuse to buy a CBFM. My contribution is WellWoman multivitamins. They have evening primrose, loads of folic acid and a good amount of vitamin B6.

ps Camomile - that was my experience. I coped weirdly well with my mc but I've found myself thinking more and more about it now. I'm not a sentimental person but when the due date came and went it hurt.

saggy I have a CBFM you can have if you want. I found the cheapie OPKs from amazon work fine for me though.

Hi squiggly! rubbish that you're here, but a friendly welcome anyway.

meant to say earlier that i love the project desperate concept and it someone can remember that in 870 posts time that'd be great.

just ordered my bbt which came with cheapie ov sticks. also got some pre-seed as DH said "in for a penny, in for a pound". He's lucky that i didn't buy a cbfm.

squiggly you're a nicer person than me. i tend to glare at pregnant women from behind their back Grin

Thank you, that is a lovely offer. I tried the cheapies and they were useless.

PM me your address and I'll send it to you. I have a few sticks with it which you can use to reset. Now I have a toddler it's actually not that easy to POAS every morning! I was going to ebay it but don't think I will ever get round to it so I'd be happy for someone else to get it. I conceived DD1 the first month I used it but the second time round it wasn't working so well for me - possibly my hormone levels being different (I am starting to fear that I may be perimenopausal).

Not at all Kat. If I could I would too! Grin
I think we should add project desperate to the thread opener, next to lets the rules.
So come on, lets compile the list...

I stare at them Grin then stare at random women's tummies or other mums at nursery tummies to see whether they are pregnant. The other day I was convinced two women at work were pregnant ... had to ask a trusted colleague (who is well aware of my neurosis) to find out if its true -she said no!

Like you saggy I was a pretty happy person, always felt things would be fine, now Im just a grump Sad - good luck with CBFM.

I'll join projectdesperate - definitely do acupuncture next month, very expensive, but will cut back on other stuff... also gives me an opportunity to lie down for an hour!

saggy I saw lots today - it was very warm, so people are showing off their bumps -

I am happy for them Grin just wish it was MEEEEEE!!!

I worry sometimes about myself, as all I want to be is in my house so I don't have to see things - self preservation .... not sure how healthy that is! Luckily I have to go out to work every day and have DD to entertain, but always so happy when I open my front door and can just rest at home, knowing I won't have to put on a brave face and can just be xxx

Agnus Castus!!! A friend told me about this when I was ttc DD, never got round to using it, as she was such an easy conception and pregnancy ... is anyone using it????

Ive taken the hiding at home further. My car has been sitting on the drive, SORNed since February. I live miles from anywhere so I can happily hide! Its in for its MOT now. Ive decided that enough is enough.

Ive heard of it, but I think its pretty hard core. You should speak to the doctor before hand, and I think you need to keep it up after you conceive.
