Morning all

Howdy peeps, hope all is well.

I started acupuncture and Chinese herbs on Saturday. Obviously don't have any results to go on, but he is warming my womb and getting me ready for pregnancy. But for 5 acupuncture sessions and two weeks worth of herbs we paid him £165... Is this a similar price to what you are paying Blueberry? He has recommended 6 weeks worth of treatment to start with.
Are you drink the herbs, as they are truly disgusting! I really hope this works as I should get a damn good reward for drinking them!

Hope everyone else is well.

Forgot to temp again!!!!! This month is doomed anyway as bd on Saturday (cd10) then started throwing up yesterday afternoon so too weak to even think about anything except to get better....now dh away until Wednesday night which I guess is cd 14 so maybe but not sooo hopeful...loads of ew this morning (sorry tmi) so think ov is imminent and keep forgetting to temp!

Hope everyone is okay....got to have some bfp's this month!

Rah sounds interesting with the herbs but ugggh not sure I could drink them ?! Might find out about the accupuncture though...

Ready how you doing positive and upbeat as usual with a mountain of information..

My bf emigrated with her family yesterday so feeling a tad sad today.. knew she was going for a while but it was still hard to say goodbye plus I was feeling awful anyway!

Hey ho moving on - hope everyone else ok

Sorry they taste so disgusting Rah.

Minxi - what a bummer sick AND your bf leaving. I am sure you must miss her, but are they emigrating any where nice that you could visit??

I had a little dip in my temp this morning which I hear can mean implantation???

Sorry to invade but just wanted to let folks here who remember her, let you know that Mini-fettle is making an appearance today.

Gracie and Rattling - keeping fingers crossed for you again.

Rah and Ready - big hugs to you both.

Big wave to everyone else who remembers me.

Hi everyone!! Sorry I disappeared for a while, have been madly busy with work for the past couple of weeks.

Well, this is my first month temping and I was so excited to see that I did ovulate on CD13!! It was also falling over the weekend so did tons of BD'ing. Fingers crossed although don't think I will actually get that elusive BFP this month. I read in my Zita West fertility book that it can take up to 18 months to conceive after being on the pill for a while and as I was on it for 13 years (stopped in April, fell PG straight away but then had a MC) I have a feeling it might take me a while - trying to get used to idea so I don't get too disappointed when AF keeps turning up (who am I kiding here?).
Anyway, also read that "normal" cycles could take a while to return but had a 29 day cycle last month and this one is shaping up to possibly be 27 or 28, so that's actually quite a nice surprise. Still don't know how long my luteal phase will be though.

Anyway, you don't hear from me for weeks and suddenly you can't shut me up!!! Sorry to highjack the thread!!!!

Fingers crossed for loads of BFP's this month!!!

Just had to say HELLO rainbowdays. and thanks for update on mini-fettle. Guess it is a planned c-section then? To all our newbies this thread has produced much success - I am sure Ready or Rah have the exact numbers, but back in May/June we had a whole raft of BFPs many for peeps who had been trying for a long time. So do not give up hope.

Little Squirt I am glad you are getting the positive side of temping. I find it really reassuring to be able to see my cycle. As for coming off the pill, it seems to affect different people different ways, I know loads of people who would say you are more fertile just after you come off it, but personally, I think they were just lucky.

FIngers crossed for some more BFPs this month too.

Howdy all...

I think my Chinese herbs are giving me a hangover! my head has been killing for days. The things we do!

Anyway it is all very interesting. Basically the Chinese see people who have unexplained infertility as 'nearly fertile'. They use a balance of herbs and acupuncture to increase the blood flow to the reproductive system. When I went for my consultation he has very interested in my low blood pressure, bleeding and clots in pregnancy and period times and if I am ever cold. Which I am all the time! This means that my circulation is not as good as some's and can hinder fertility. So hence why he thinks a course of Chinese medicine would help me. Anyone else got any of these symptoms?

Better go, hope everyone is well... XX

Littlesquirt - I also got PG straight after coming off the pill and then MC'd (baby died at 10+4). I think it is quite common. My periods were all over the place after that so now I am on Clomid. My EDD is next Tuesday .

Good luck temping!

Rah Rah - I am cold ALL the time! Zita does say you need to keep your womb warm when ttc! If Clomid doesn't work for me this month will definitely go to see a complementary medicine person.

nh101 - will be thinking of you on Tuesday. I know how painful it is. I found the run up to my EDD harder than the actual day. Hope its peaceful for you. Big Hugs {{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

Did Zita explain how to keep your womb warm? Any tips?

Thanks for your kind words re. my edd. I have arranged to go for dinner that night and then to watch Man City (love em) with my mum and dad (DH has another important event to go to which I didn't want him to miss).

Zita says eat warm food, drink warm drinks and wear warm clothes! I am still having my sandwich for lunch though (may move to jacket potatoes next month if not successful this time).

Hi girls...well cd14 today and no bd since cd10 - dh home tonight late (like 10pm) but think that if I didn't catch cd10 then missed this month actually think I ovulated as had pains on Sunday and lots of cm sunday/monday...hey ho on a positive note can keep on healthy eating to lose a few pounds.. Last month of clomid next month and also back to see consultant beginning October - so will see what he says...probably give it time !!

Rattling and Gracie you are our hopefuls to focus on at the moment - any news?!

Minxi - there is still hope with BDing on CD10, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

nh101 I did see your posts where you mentioned your MC after falling PG just after you stopped the pill and did think it was so similar to my story.

So sorry to hear about your sad anniversary on Tuesday , will be thinking of you. Is your cycle back to being regular now? I see that you are on CD24 today so if you don't have your period by next Tuesday then it might be good news for you this month anyway? I really hope so for you! x

Well done minxi on losing weight... woohooo... always helps! I've lost nearly a stone and half now. I am now pre baby weight... woohooo..(thank god - god knows how much weight I would of put on if I had gone full term?!!)
Like littlesquirt said, CD10 can work out just fine! Have my fingers crossed for you. XX If it does not happen this month you might end up on IUI with me in the new year (Usually after clomid the consultants move onto treatments). How much time can they give us?? that pee's me off when they say that!

Hey littlesquirt - I am on Clomid now so yes it looks like I am going to have a 28-day cycle this month (according to my temps)

And yes I am hoping for a BFP this weekend!

Oh, I really hope so for you nh101 - I am sure we are due a (well, at least 1) new BPF on this thread by now!!!

Keep us posted! xxx

Sorry, I have been missing in action as such.

I locked myself out of FF and thought sod it, why bother temping if I end up with another 50 day cycle and as DH seems to be running for the hills when I'm in the mood, there is very little chance of catching even if I ovulated.

So I aim to unlock FF and if I get a reasonable short cycle this month, I'll start temping again for next cycle.

Looks like I have a lot of reading to do to catch up.

Anyway off to nap with my baby girl, I am so tired...she isn't sleeping at night and I can barely keep my eyes open.

Hi all,

Well temp drop for me today so AF will obviously be making her unwelcome appearence anyday now.

I will be having a break from temping after this cycle proberbly until the new year now - I have my first reflexology appointment next Thursday - so will see how that goes.

Looks like a few of us are on a weight loss kick well done Rah and Minxi - I have only lost about 5 pounds so far another 13 to go and hoping thats going to help make a difference as well - It's strange this month I don't seem as down as I have been that AF is going to arrive - all this trying has taken the fun out of possibly getting pregnant I wish I could get excited like I did at the start.

Anyway - hope everybody is well

Sorry to hear of temp drop Gracie. Reflexology may be just what you need. Keep the faith!

nh101 - Thankyou I will try but its very hard at times, how are you doing?
