Honey - I tried maca(new) together with royal jelly and the usual vitamins/folic acid. Oh, and I had two reflexology sessions which were really relaxing.

 

[honeybee28]

oooooh, interesting about royal jelly.
and reflexology, ive heard of it a lot, but what actually is it?

 

[Dee7509]

Anna, sorry to hear you're not so well. Hope you feel more cheerful soon. TTC does get you down especially long term.

 

[Dee7509]

Reflexology is where they massage / apply pressure to the hands/feet to help certain areas of the body. According to what I read, certain points on the hands and feet correspond to various parts of the body so they can sort of stimulate those points. I thought it was worth a try although I was also kind of wary too.

 

[honeybee28]

oooh sounds relaxing. I'm thinking about trying acupuncture next cycle! Not sure if needles will be relaxing though!

Honey, I am sorry about your spotting. It sucks
I never spotted before af until the last 2 months before I got my bfp and last month I did spot from 12dpo on. I hope its not af for you but if it is, by all means, dont give up having fun going out to the bars with your friends. It'll only make TTC worse. I tried the cutting down on booze more than normal AND I tried no drinking at all. Well, since the end of the cycle always ended up a bloody mess (ewww....lol), I started to say screw it and try to have some happiness left while TTC.

Dee, you are 7dpo huh?....any symptoms?.... hehe!

 

[Dee7509]

I actually had one session of acupuncture and it was very relaxing, I didn't even feel the needles.

 

[honeybee28]

Yeah I think you're right Julia - will see how DH's SA goes. If they suggest he cuts down, I'll stay off the booze to support him. But if his spermies are a-ok, I'll go back on it. but maybe not quite to the extent i was before. How's your symptom spotting going?

I actually had one session of acupuncture and it was very relaxing, I didn't even feel the needles.

Ahhh really? Cool, i might give it a go!!

 

[Dee7509]

tryfor - nothing that can't be explained as pre-af but I'll tell you anyway Spotting at 1 dpo...never had that before and I think it was too early for implantation and sore bbs since then. I hope it means something, I'll not be surprised if it's just another "new" thing to get my hopes up so I'm being skeptical.

 

[Dee7509]

If you do, let us know how it goes. I liked the Reflexologist better than the Acupuncturist, he was very nice and she was quite gruff....that's one way to make a decision

 

[honeybee28]

haha that is a good way to make a decision
interesting about spotting at 1dpo! what colour was it?

 

[Dee7509]

It was reddish brown and lasted for an afternoon.

 

[honeybee28]

weird.com. Like you say, probably a bit early for implantation, but i dont know? I would be excited about it. but i get excited about all new things lol. really hope it is implantation, fx for you.

 

[Dee7509]

Many, many weird cycles later, I've started to temper my enthusiasm for weird things lol.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Hmmm.....maybe it was a really good ovulation! I have heard of ovulation bleeding or spotting! And sore boobs since sounds great to me! I had sore boobs from ovulation on when I got my bfp in May. Sounds like a good sign to me!!!
