Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Hi Ladies,
Miss B - my acupuncturist and naturopath have both suggested Dong Quai for blood circulation to the reproductive system
I also agree with Juniper if you have sought a certain treatment before and found it helped then do it again if you can, this is certainly a tough mental journey so you do whatever helps your mental state no matter how alternative........I love alternative treatments some people I am weird but I don't care
Emma - so sorry you are getting a BFN big hugs, love and light to you
Joe - GL with your transfer hun sending loads of sticky vibes your way
Sarah - Gosh I am so sorry I wish there was more we could do for you! You are so right this is effing hard I think it has to be up there with the toughest things a human has to endure but as you say you are going to get back in the saddle and continue on your journey.....you should be very proud of yourself. Us women are amazingly strong and resilient
Joski - I sympathise with you on this one I know 9 pregnant ladies now of whom are LTTTC either which makes is somehow harder, I have baby showers lined up the first of which is this Saturday and I am almost embarrassed to admit I have made an excuse not to go. I just can't face it and know it would depress me. I can't help thinking it's meant to be me sitting there having a baby shower, all excited and glowing ready to undertake this amazing journey instead I am still waiting. Im sending you love & light too, hope you perk up soon hun
WW - with regards to the Vitex affecting endo why don't you find a good health food store they usually have a naturopath in store who doesn't mind you picking her/his brains. It's so worth an ask. I have found a brilliant naturopath at my local health food store, she is very intuitive too which I think is a bonus, she has put me on some drops twice a day which is a detox to clean out my system and they happen to be great for fertility. And some tablets other than the 1 Vitex a day. I will get the names of the drops and other tablets and post them. It may help someone else too. I figure if it's herbs and therefore natural I am willing to give it a go.....figure I have nothing to lose but everything to gain
Ok Ladies I have to get going work is CRAZY busy at the mo' really looking forward to the weekend
Baby dust to us all, GL
XX

Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Hi everyone just letting you know I'm still around waiting for af which will hopefully be here tomorrow. I was thinking and hoping to be able to do 1 IVF in July but then my
eldest ds rang and his going to need help buying a car and a friend is going over to see him in June and there doing a road trip and is going to need my help as well. So I have
now realised that I am NEVER going to be able to afford IVF as all my children want is money so I am going to continue IUI's till September or October then re-evaluate what
I want to do so I'm praying I get pg before then:-(
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Thanks for the love ladies x
Rai, no advice - just hugs
AFM, AF arrived today (only 5 days earlier than last time- ggrrrr) FS wanted to know if we were interested in doing and insemination cycle. To be honest the question caught me so off guard all I could do was stammer out a 'No, I think we will wait .....' Not sure why I said, possibly because DH is at work and it was my go to response. Don't want to make that kind of decision without him.
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Numbers are dwindling 3 sent off for testing today. Just hoping we get at least 1 normal so this all hasn't been a giant waste. Don't know how I am going to cope if we get none to transfer
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Blood this morning.... I'm guessing too late for implantation bleeding.
After 3 x stim cycles, 6 embryo transfers, 1 PGD tested embryo transfer- we are broke and out of options.
Devastated
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
That's just wrong Emma :-( so sorry , I hate it when there is no answers everything should have worked out and it didn't . Big hugs and I hope your happy outcome is just around the corner you just don't know it yet! Xoxo we are all here with you.
Welcome Nova :-D hope you don't have to stay in here too long though!
Thanks pos. Ttc xox I'd be lost with out you girls and this forum!
Im pretty sure I found the sac in the toilet this morning :-( (thanks to google I know what to look for) at least it's all coming to an end all of this "am I losing it or not" it's been the worst 2weeks of painful heartache and hope n then devastation. I have not been doing anything but I'm so so tired n worn out.
Joe I have all my fingers and toes crossed you get 3 good ones!
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Hi Ladies, It's Friday woohooo I think we could all do with the weekend, seems we all need a break!
Joe - GL I have everything crossed and really hope you have 3 normal embies all good for transfer, you're in my prayers. I know it's really hard but try to just think positive don't put the negative out to the universe.....say's me who isn't always positive lol
Rai - what a hard one obviously you want to support the children you already have but then you're worrying about saving for IVF etc tough one
Perhaps suggest DS get a part time job to pay for his road trip that could take some pressure off you and as for the car tell him you will pay half, the other half he can save for. Kids needs to learn to work and save for the things they want it helps them grow in to good responsible adults.......hope im not out of line suggesting this its the way me and my 5 siblings were raised and I am very proud of how responsible I am for myself. GL
Joski - you did the right thing waiting for DH to make a joint decision, I would do the same. GL
Nova - Welcome to the forum, hope your stay is a happy and short one
Emma - I wish I could say something to make you feel a tiny bit better! You are in my thoughts hun, hope its good bleeding and not AF arriving early. GL
Sarah - you are amazing you are going through such a tough time yet you still find time to send positive thoughts and messages to us you're a gem
You have been through a touch couple of weeks mentally and emotionally that's enough to make anyone want to hibernate and get a good sleep. Go easy this weekend have a really lazy one, put your feet up and have a glass of something you love and some chocolate....you deserve it!!
Hubby & I are off to see the Rocky Horror show at the Theatre this evening should be nice and we get to have a romantic evening in a hotel courtesy of his work (Xmas pressie) and im ovulating on Sunday so it's good timing. Though to be honest I would rather go home to bed....soooo tired of late
Love & Light to you all Ladies, wishing you a lovely weekend xx
P.S forgot I am not supposed to put reference to a website in the forum, which I did yesterday. So Miss B if you just google "dong quai for blood circulation" you will find a good site which explains nicely
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014
Welcome Nova
Emma, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through, but you never know what will the future bring your way, I hope you have options very soon. Sending big hugs your way
Joe - Oh Joe I was really hoping all your embryos were good, is not fair all we have to go through and then we don't get what we have been hoping for so long. I wish I could tell you something to make you feel better
Joski & Positively I am with you guys, I am surrounded by pregnant women and I cant help it but to feel envy or silly me, even thinking that they stole my pregnancy
