Have you tried extra vitamin c and d? I take a multi vitamin but also an extra top of vitamin c and d. I get really run down if I don't. I just seem to need more of those.

Also consider washing less if you can. It sounds counter intuitive, but washing strips out the natural oils. Also, you could try not using shampoo and "washing" with a silicone free conditioner. I think there's a thread on that somewhere.

Code I've tried conditioner only washing and tried leaving it longer, it seems to make the peeling scalp worse ? Not tried extra bit d though.my hands are really dry aswell.im not sure if you lose any extra nutriants from bleeding long term or not?

I am so very sorry with my outburst yesterday, it was a horrible concoction of feeling tired, being full of snot, having a customer having a go at me despite it not being my fault and general moodiness.
Ie I shall blame pmt. I promise to be a nice Vesper from now on.

Vesper you've got nothing to feel sorry for, we all need to let things out.

Hi vesper - don't be silly that is what we are here for. Hope you feel better today.

PM - I'm on zita West conception vits and royal jelly too. My acupuncturist recommended the zita West as the best ones so might be worth switching?

Tea - hugs to you. Think we need a bring on AF dance for you so you can get cracking!

Fairy, glad your scan went well, that's a good number of good sized follies. Let us know when ec is.

RG - any update from your embies?

Frozen - how you getting on my dear?

AFM - scan yesterday, they counted 14 follies of varying sizes between 10 - 17mm. Got a call in the afternoon and I'm all set for trigger tonight and ec on Monday! Eekk! Was not expecting it to be so fast, I'd taken wed- Fri off work so I had to change the days. Just done the last lot of injections, only 2 more nasal sprays and the trigger to go.

Hugs everyone xc

Sewit it thanks for the info will have a look see. Wishing you so much luck for EC.

Part_Mouse

I knowits different for injections without IVF but I seem to be a very poor responder with it taking 6.5 weeks of injecting to get one follie. With a few weeks bleeding whilst injecting.

Morning all. Fingers crossed for the fabulous four!
Part mouse have you tried polytar shampoo? You can buy it from a pharmacy and it STINKS but it's all that works when my eczema in my scalp is bad.
