[Shorty79]

Thanks Fairybabe!! That is really helpful! I was getting a bit worried about going. She does know i am TTC but think i will mention where abouts i am in cycle when i go just as a reminder!! I love going and it really helps relax me which is great!

Hi - ok can you put me down for testing 27th June please! Thanks!

Does anybody have reflexology or know when you are suppposed to have it when you are TTC? Ie - before/after ovulation etc! As my first official month of trying i dont want to get it done at the wrong time and i have been going to my reflexologist for about 6 months and cant bear to not go anymore!! I know you are not supposed to go when on AF but thats all i know! Anyone.............................

-x-x-

Adding you now! Good luck!! Sorry, not sure about the reflexology, but looks like Fairybabe has some good advice. I know that reflexology can be useful when TTC though....have always meant to look into it myself.

LuckyD, can you put me down to test on 3rd July? Thanks!! Have added some Evenng Primrose oil this month (until O), hopefully get some EWCM this month! help those swimmers to where they need to be!

Cheerio

All added! Good luck love! Hope that EPO works well - I have heard good things about it!

Hi Shorty, as far as a i know, reflexology is ok at any time in the cycle. You just need to make sure your therapist knows you are ttc, and where you are in the cycle. If it's post O then she should avoid any big stimulation over the areas that correspond to gynae stuff, but the rest of the treatment could help you relax and harmonise things anyway. Enjoy! I know some reflexologists have done additional training for pregnancy stuff, so maybe ask if she has?

Maxiandniko, hope you catch that eggy!

Well after talking to a friend i have decided not to go reflexology for a while cos apparently it can give you really heavy periods which is funny as the last 4 months i have had really heavy periods and been going for 5 months! I thought it was a side effect of the Depo!! But when i first came off the depo my periods were all over the place but they were normal in length and strength!!!

Now what am i going to spend my spare £30 a month on instead!!?

[parkgirl]

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Hurray MrsKCBrown! I've been reading your posts for months and I could feel how badly you wanted this - mucho congrats!!!

LuckyD - the mental image of your boobs clamoring for your attention is even more hilarious than the one of your ignoring them!

This calls for some serious smilies!!!!




WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Mrskcbrown--- I'll ask the questions everyone wants to know!! Did you try anything new this month? How long have you been trying? Any advice for us??

WHOO HOOO, congrats, again, that's super exciting!!!!!!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Squirrel - you are the queen of explosions! that was one heckofa smile extravaganza.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Yep, I love my smilies!!

Aaaaaaaargh! I just changed into my pajamas and guess what my boobs are telling me now! They are all veiny! I have NEVER NEVER NEVER noticed this before! What the heck! And I'm only 4DPO so far too early to be symptom spotting. Geez, I guess I need to smack my boobs around and tell them to leave me alone!!

Really, what the heck is up with that! Three months ago they started getting sore after O, now this?? What's it going to be next month! At least it's happening so early after O, or I'd have a really hard time not getting my hopes up only to be seriously crushed every time.....


What is everyone else's boobs saying today?

Wow, thats one explosion there! thanks soooooo much!
I didnt try anything new except I did NOT use clomid this month. My specialist wanted me to use it and I nixxed it this month because every month I used it, I wasnt getting my BFP. Not to say that it doesnt work, it does, I O with it all the time.

Symptoms:
slight cramping
slight sore boobs not nips
bleeding gums 3-4 days
fatigue last week

I have been trying 15 months this month! Thought it would never happen. Let me add DH has low morphology 6% and low volume and DR said our only way to conceive was with IUI, wont she be surprised tomorrow when I get my bloods taken, LOL

Otherwise just loads of , not just for TTC but because we like it, LOL.

Wooooooooo! Congratulations love!! I am so happy for you!! Like Jaimie, I have seen you around BnB and know that you have been trying for a long time....that is such wonderful news. Hope you have a very very happy and healthy nine months! So excited for you xxx

I know.....damn attention seekers...I should take the approach that I do when working with young people, and give them positive attention using a strengths-based approach...hmmmm....this analogy is getting away from me!

Like your new avatar by the way xx

Yep, I love my smilies!!

Smiley Quuuuuueeeeeennnnnn!

I tell you, boobs are not to be trusted!! Every month they throw something new in, just to confuse us! Have a stern word to them about not getting people's hopes up.
