TTC Cycle #7 spending obscene amounts of money on vitamins and gadgets….

[mrsplumfairy]

Hi all

TTC cycle 7 and getting worried as I’m over 35 and now over the 6 month mark. Trying to throw the kitchen sink at it this month after lots of research in the threads.

Feel free to throw me any advice but I have the following in my basket….

Seven seas trying for a baby vitamins
COQ10
Myo-inositol (£36 in boots fml)
Vit D
Benylin cough max (to help with that EWCM)
conceive plus gel
Clearblue advanced ovulation kit

I’m going to be rattling….anything else I can add???!

I’m the same plus 6 sessions of acupuncture at £50 each
money on tests each month. It’s so exhausting!

Ahh this will be my next step. How often is it recommended that you have it? I also need to lose around 2 stone (I’m sure this is the first thing the doctors will say so I’m working on that too!)

How long have you been TTC?

I’ve just hit the 2 year mark now
I did a session every 2 weeks- it was really enjoyable and makes you feel so relaxed, but so far nothing in the way of a bfp.

im 40 btw so age isn’t on my side.

Ahh it’s frustrating isn’t it. Have you seen your GP/fertility?

Yes all tests are fine.
I have other children and one took over 2.5 years to conceive with unexplained fertility so I know it does take me a bit longer sometimes but just wish I could get a guarantee that it will happen!

Good luck!

im just unboxing my massive delivery of vitamins!! Can’t help thinking it’s a waste of money….my grandma managed to have 9 babies without all of this :(

how high is your bmi? I was told had to be less than 30 to even be considered for fertility testing after ttc

BMI is 35.

To update the thread….I did conceive the month after I started taking alll of the above. However, sadly no heartbeat at the 12 week scan so here I am back again x

So sorry to hear your update!
that’s heartbreaking.
I hope you conceive again soon

I’m still trying here

I’ve lost a stone in weight since July so a healthier bmi now too

Well done on the stone weight loss!! My healthy eating starts again tomorrow :)
