Thanks corrinan, that helps a lot. Im going to wait and go with what they recommend.  Reading your signature, you have been through a lot but come through the other side with a child and another on the way.  I hope I can be as strong as you.  Goodluck with the pregnancy. X x x

Hi wishingalways and gem15, welcome to the board. Always nice to have new people join the 


Well, Kirsty two tomorrow! Can't believe how quickly they have flown by. She's no longer my wee baby (not that she was small to start with!) and is now a proper little girl with likes, dislikes and opinions starting to form on things (likes Raa Raa the noisy lion, dislikes afternoon naps....when incidentally Raa Ras is on). 


Anyway, better go and see what mischief she's getting up to now!

Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing OK and those of you who are pregnant, I hope you are taking it easy!.

I'm just waiting on AF to arrive - should be in teh next week or so, then I can start my stimming for first IVF.  Getting really excited now as I have never been this close before!.

Was also at acupunture last night (been going weekly again in prep for IVF) and as always she took my pulses but was there for ages.  I knew something was up as she kept going back to them then she asked me how I was feeling in my body which I replied all normal although got sore (.)(.) way earlier than normal and been having funny aches in my ovary area.  She then replied that she wasn't doing nay Moxi (herb that gets burned on your body) as my pulses were very irratic and similar to when you are pregnant...........
Well............. I just about fell off the bed but due to this she didn't want to take any chance as they don't use Moxi in the first trimester.  I'm not getting my hopes built up as nnot due AF until another week so not sure how this could be detected so soon.  I've been gettting Acupuncture for nearly a year and this is the first time this has ever happened.

Anyone had this expereince??

HI Jen,

sorry i cant give you any advice.... but OMG how exciting is that........ I have been going to acupuncture for about 6 months and always hope she was to say something like that.   THey do say that they are really good at detecting these things and if you believe in acupuncture you never know the sience goes back hundreds of years.....

Def keep us posted.... you hear people falling pregnant the month before they start all the time... so you never know... and if its not at least your on the doorstep of starting IVF anyway so that will keep you going. xxx

I know everyone may already be past this stage but is anyone going to the info evening at ninewells on 5th march?? Or has anyone been to one before, is it worth it??

Hi girls, hope you are all keeping well in this cold snowy weather! 

Gem - i would recommend the info night, it gives you a good idea of time scales etc & an opportunity to ask any questions.

Jen - how spooky, i have never had acupuncture but i did have a surprise natural BFP the month i was supposed to start my 1st IVF (unfortunately i miscarried  ) and have heard lots of similar stories so fingers crossed!   Definitely get an early pregnancy test hun!

 Was wondering if anyone had experience with reflexology? Was thinking of having some alternative therapies to try to help me stay positive over the next few weeks as feeling very anxious at the moment.

Hey

Thanks for the good luck wishes everyone!  Can't bring myself to do a pregnancy test as I can't bare the disappointment so will just wait until I'm definitely late.  I'm going to remain positive & pray in the meantime 

Gem15 - I would recommend the info evening as it was a great way for DH to listen & learn rather than hear me rabbit on about IVF   

Haggis81 - I've never tried reflexology but as you can see I'm a fan of acupuncture & I'll definitely be keeping that up when I get my BFP

HI everyone,

I am trying to work out dates and i have a question.... any help greatly appreciated.

So i know i start the nasal spray on day 21 of my cycle, then hopefully i will have af around normal time day 27/28 then after another two weeks of spray i go in for my baseline scan (which i think they might have said they always do on a friday but i could be wrong about that), then the week of the baseline scan i start taking my injections.....

How long do you usually take injections for and how many scans will you have, i really cant remember what the nurse said... and was wondering what everyone elses experiences where.
