Hi Manda and welcome to BB!

You have come to the right place.

We have similar backgrounds

I won't bore you with all my history but in short:

- went on pill at 18 to regulate periods
- came off pill 2 years ago at age 27
- have not had a period since then
- have an incredible amount of stress in my life and tend to get tense, retain stress, very easily

What works for me is acupuncture - this stuff is AMAZING! I've been having weekly sessions for over a year and it is the only thing that has kept me sane (I'm doing a PhD, which is a major cause of my stress). So while I say I have a lot of stress, in the last year the acu has helped keep it under control.
I also tried the acu for fertility but unfortunately it hasn't helped that (I suspect because my problems are quite complicated). Anyway we're about to start ovulation induction with Gonal-F so hopefully that will sort out getting me pregnant!

I used to get the eye twitch thing too - yep, that is STRESS related for sure. Since the acu I haven't had it.

I absolutely recommend you find an acu therapist and give it a go. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I'm sure someone on BB can recommend a great therapist in your area - where are you from??
