    May have been me who recommended it. I had it to try to sort my irregular cycles and I think it did help! Got a bit costly though so haven't carried on, may look into our health insurance though and see if it covers it xx

    I've been having acupuncture for months now - this time it's for fertility, but I've also had it for pain. It def work for pain. Hasn't worked for me on the fertility front yet!!
    I've read a few studies about having acupuncture alongside IVF- and does seem to improve ones chances.

    It's bl00dy expensive though. I swear, I've spent a fortune on the whole trying to conceive shebang.....

    Cats, yes I think it was you! Thanks again xx It is terribly expensive and if I didn't have my health plan, I don't think I would be going either!

    I noticed I had way more watery CM last night after my session and again this morning but still flashy smiley for me :rotfl:l

    Angel, I found this an interesting read this morning as I took notice of where the needles were actually going last night! In addition to the below, I get needles in my hands and legs/feet. - think this might be for stress. Last night I also got extra in my head and neck to treat a trapped nerve in my neck and labrynthitis (which I have AGAIN!)

    I had my ultrasound this morning, both external and internal which I was not expecting!!! Didn't hurt at all though, it's just mortifying having ANOTHER team looking up there! That's the fourth time in as many weeks. They said they could see the burst follicle which had released an egg this month, and the endometrial wall was thick. He said it all tied in with my DPO and CD.

    Couldn't tell me anything either way if we've been lucky this cycle though. I did a FRER this morning which was bfn (sorry cats I know you told us not to but you know me, I'm a poas addict).

    Haha I doubted many people could stick to it but wanted to say anyway!!

    It's nice to be a bit chatty on here again actually but I shall probably disappear again soon as I do think being more relaxed worked for us x

    angel thank you so much for doing the lists whilst I've been away on holiday. It has been a relief to know you were looking after everyone for me. xx

    Congratulation to Big on you BFP. I will amend the first post for you. I look forward to seeing you on the less than 12 weeks thread soon.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for all approaching testing or AF due date and hoping that there will be a few more names to add to the graduates list soon. xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hope you had a great holiday Mouse!

    Millie, was this Gynaecology you went for your ultrasound? My doctor has referred me to Gynaecology and my appointment is 30th June. I have absolutely no idea what to expect or really what I'm going for. The doctor basically just said she would refer me so they could have a chat with me but the leaflet that came with the letter implied they may be checking my cervix with a Colposcopy. The doctor said that wasn't what she referred me for but if i didn't hear from her again, to go to the appointment.

    I'm now CD24 and on my 9th flashing smiley face on CB digi, do you think there is any point in continuing to test with these? The leaflet in the packet seems to suggest you should stop after 9 :(
