Anteater I so understand where you are coming from. I was saying to my OH yesterday that the other week we would have been going for our 20 week scan. And they don't get it, they can't give us the support we need because they don't seem to understand the emotional impact all this has on us.
I don't know what to tell you, you really need to relax a little - I know that sounds stupid when it's the most stressful thing you can do but we ALL know that stress can stop us conceiving.... It's like a catch22!!! I do think the hypnosis is a good idea! Try anything!!! I'm thinking about trying a B vitamin if I don't fall this cycle to lengthen my LP. Have you tried temping? I have found it to be SO helpful - I would never have known my LP was short if I hadn't done and it's made me so much more in tune with my body, more aware.
makeithappen - I think you might be feeling your cervix and thats the 2nd hole you are finding? What does it feel like?
here comes TMI! when i put my finger in, theres like a 'soft lump' (cant think of a better description) with a hole on either side if it
....
....do you think this is my cervix just very low? now that i checked again this morning it does seem likely
!
Definitely sounds like a low cervix! When it's low it's actually kind of like a tube so the holes you are feeling are just because it's lengthened. You probably won't have seen (it's a few pages back now!) that I discovered my cervix a couple of weeks ago and phoned my friend because I didn't know what it was! I found this pic online to explain what I mean better. If you look at the pics on either side it's kinda hanging down, like a tube! That's what you are feeling
I hope I explained that right!!

As for me, I feel sick this morning, totally exhausted - this is not good when I'm due to start my BD run this weekend... I really hope I haven't caught DD tummy bug from last week.... REALLY....
