Oh I'm anxious to hear about your acupuncture appointment, I am a bit nervous and I'm not really sure what to expect. I've never gotten a bfp either, well not technically. I got a false positive on a blue-dye test, but turned out I wasn't pregnant (talk about the most depressing day of my life). Keep me updated!

I have been told about accupuncture by a friend of mine who had PCOS and was on Clomid. The midwife at my doctors surgery practices accupuncture and I do keep meaning to make an appointment, but I'm unsure how I feel with it being a midwife? Will I turn up to my appointment and have loads of pregnant women around me in the waiting room??

Personally, I would not do it with a midwife for the same fears you have. I couldn't possibly go to a place where I would be surrounded by pregnant women. The acupucturist I am going to see has a Ph.D. in medicine. She now has her own Chinese medicine practice which includes acupuncture. I expalined to her that I did not think I could handle being around pregnant women, so she scheduled me accordingly. If I were in your shoes, I would look around and see if there is another option. You could also go in (or phone) and ask questions before making an official appointment. Good luck and I hope to hear what you find out.

Hi there guys,
I will reach the 5 year mark next month (may).
I hope I will not reach it though, that I will get the magical lines before May

I guess when you have nothing else you still have optimism,
All the best wishes and prayers for you guys
Amber

I am going on 6 years may 6th! and today is a VERY bad day for me. I can guarantee that you all have felt the same as i do now where you wake up and it feels like your world is falling apart because all you want is that one BFP and to make it those 9 mo so you can hold your beautiful baby. Wow ... i cant stop crying and all i want is for my life to go my way just 1 time!

I had that day yesterday... all I did was cry. I started spotting yesterday morning and that was all it took. After 4 years ttc, I should not be crying this way. I feel better today but it's still a very sad time (Cycle day 1 is always the hardest for me).

I hope your day gets a little brighter and you get your bfp soon too.

Just passed 3 years unexplained infertility. It very hard and now younger brothers girlfriend just had 3 month scan. So unfair first thing I think about in morning last thing at night. Although I have been told today that my friends mom tried for 7 years and got pregnant I know it's no help for people over the 7 years but I hope and pray that one day we can all hold our babies. Good luck every1

Needababynow thank you! believe me i know how you feel! and i have a feeling that today is gonna be my day just like yesterday was yours. you would think that after so long the crying would lessen or it would be easier but it just gets harder every month!

zekeyboo11 I know how you feel too! my little brother just had a beautiful little girl in dec. when just a year ago he met his now wife. they were trying the first week they got together and it was no problem for them. and it hurts! keep your head up. i know its hard to hear that but in the end i know it will be worth it!
