Hi Sooki
I have moved your post to the 2ww section of the forum, you should get more replies there.
Is it full period or only light? A lot of ladies suffer from implantation bleeding, perhaps that is why your clinic told you to keep using the pessaries.
Please don't blame yourself, when I spoke to my clinic they said that there was nothing I could do to improve my chances - it really is just one of those things whether it works or not (annoying, I know). They actually told me not to rest during my 2ww, something to do with it being good to keep the blood circulating. Some of my 2ww's I rested for a few days afterwards, some I carried on as normal, and I can't say that it attributed to the success or failure of any of the cycles. And as for stress, I don't know anyone who hasn't been stressed during their 2ww!
If it really is your period starting I am sure the lovely ladies on the Negative cycle board will be able to help you more -
