That's the concern - the lack of success stories about it. I'm sure its a great supplement, but really wonder if its as miraculous for TTC as it's price would suggest.

I've pm'd my friend anyway, and I've her Fertility Code book at home so I'm going to see if there is a list in that that I can compare it to.

Hey Neyite, any further thoughts on the pre-conceive? I think I have decided better for me to spend money on more acupuncture and continuing my sessions with a faith healer. Only so many pills and potions I can take in one day

BTW, anyone else experiences of sessions with a faith healer? I have had two sessions and while no obvious outcome yet I think effect on my mental outlook is positive.

Hey Neyite, no panic, was just checking if any update ;-)

I didnt (but tell myself to be open) believe it faith healers etc. but after some long TTC am willing to try anything. Think I have done it all now. Wont stop the medical treatment, haven't in the 3 years, but alone it doesnt seem to be doing the job. You do hear of the miracles;-)

Was told at first was just hormones and to stop exercising etc to get balance right, then told PCOS, then not PCOS condition just the symptoms and more recently it is PCOS condition although I am not a typical case . Different consultants slightly different views. Not had a natural period as dont OV. Had ovarian drilling but no effect. Maybe I am an unexplained case.

Sometimes I wonder if better off spending my money on a two week exotic holiday and having a good time?????

Thanks, yes we lost the baby and it sucks but you just have to pick yourself up and get on with things again.
I hope your little girl is flying it. She will be a year old soon won't she?
Isn't it funny how we're both back around these parts again at the same time :-) fingers crossed we all migrate to the "Due XX" side of boards again soon.

Yes 11 month birthday coming up on Sunday. I lost track of the 'Due XX' boards as my 'Due in Aug 2014' thread formed our own secret facebook group (6 of us) where no-one can see our posts only ourselves. it has been fantastic to see all the babas growing up and share experiences and there has been a few meetups.
I'd love to get to that side of the board again one day but not this month alas, AF arrived today

I've been trying to stay away from this forum lately and just relax and try not to think about TTC. Very hard to do when my period arrived for the second month in a row on CD23. These are my clomid months. I'm due to start another month of clomid tomorrow but honestly I don't know if i should if it keeps fecking up my cycle. I feel uttlerly in despair about the whole process right now.

I am so sorry to hear that. I really do empathize with the feelings of despair.

Can you do anything nice for yourself today? Inhaling chocolate at the cinema or having a pedicure are my personal "i am having a s**t day and I need some comfort* go tos!. Obviously they don't fix anything but they might give some temp relief.

*hugs*

Aw I'm being totally indulgent brokensoul. I'm in work but I've horrible period pain and really just want to go home but I'm only back in after 3 weeks off so can't do that. It'll pass. I'll be in my bed by 7:30 tonight though!

dreamstar how did your surgery go? How are you recovering now? AF was due today, had tender boobs on and off the last few days, no other symptoms apart from really bad constipation (which is probably just a coincidence - in fact could be caused by the vitamins I'm taking for fertility) did a cheapie hpt this morning thought I saw a shadow so did a first response and a definite line, due 2nd May if it sticks - wahooo :-) can't believe it happened much easier this time around

Congratulations!! Fingers and toes crossed. I was due 1st May this year and it's been a lovely time to be on maternity leave x

Congrats Lucuma, great news!

Congrats Lucuma. Hope you have a healthy 9 months ahead

I know - took 1 year the last time - only 3 months this time. I wasn't expecting it to happen so quick, let's just hope it lasts now x

Had some mid cycle spotting this month and just feel slightly 'off' since so beginning to build my hopes up that something might be stirring. (Queue major disappointment). I'm tempted to go buy some tests but just wondering which ones are best for testing before the arrival of period. Are there any good cheapies?

Dunno but first response (pink box) that you get in Boots will give results a few days before AF is due. They are not cheapies though. I used a cheapie (from ebay) last week and the line was almost invisible (I could see it though only from experience), but the line on a fr the same day was very clear.
Finger's x'd for you xx

tesco ones are accurate too

nothing like peeing on a stick to bring on af the witch!

Feels so strange but I'm on CD37 and every time I go to the look I'm hoping AF arrives.

My cycle is obviously all over the place after the surgery. I had some light bleeding about 5 days after surgery. I'm not sure if that was my period or just a result of surgery. If it wasn't my period then I'm late which is likely after the surgery too.

Anyway I just can't wait to get back into a normal cycle and start trying again.

They likely drained a lot of blood when they were in there so it can take a bit longer for a regular period to come back. It took 42 days for me so hopefully yours will return soon.

I didn't buy any tests after all. I just decided I couldn't handle seeing a negative test so I'll wait it out.... For some reason I don't find that quite as disappointing.

congratulations!!!bloody delighted for ya!
