Hey hun, I know it's really frustrating. What me and my partner did was go ona nice relaxing holiday last month and then when I got back started eating super healthy, lots of fresh veg, proteins and not to much sugar, I'm also going to the gym a few times a week and like you I'm doing acupuncture. Have you tried healthy super healthy eating and exercise? I'm finding it's actually making me a lot more relaxed and less stressed an on edge about conceiving. Also might be an idea to find a pregnancy counsellor so you can talk to someone about how your feeling to get all the internal stress out. Cause stress can make it even harder to concieve. (so much easier said than done) I like you don't think I'll ever be able to "just relax" but I'm trying to find outlets and things that help me have some downtime for even just 5 minutes at a time. I'm also trying super positive thinking. And I talk out loud to my eggs telling them how they will have an amazing life with us as parents xx ba

My advice, stop the pills, stop the acupuncture and go back to normal living, that's what I'm going to do and I'm 43
I'm done with taking this that the other and I do reflexology which is costly....so don't shout at me, but chillax, get busy doing something else, enjoy frequent love making and instead of the tww I now plan my next af arrival.
It's taken the stress away trust me
Good luck and I'm sorry if u don't want to hear all that xx

I getchya!! I took 4 yrs to have my bubba with many mc, surgery iui, ivf etc. Let's start with the "don't stress" lectures you're invariably getting. TTC IS STRESSFUL. It's unavoidable so just feel the feeling and let it wash over. Stress is natural especially in this situation. I always felt when I was told stress was stopping me carrying my babies that it was a roundabout way of blaming me. So let me help you! If stress could stop reproduction there would be no need for terminations! Stress away sweetie!! Also the other girls are right. Talk to your eggs. I got the scientists to talk to my embryos. Also be kind to yourself, eat well and if the mood strikes you try a gluten free diet. I SWEAR it helped me in early menopause at 37. I had 5 IVFs and it was the final cycle after 9mths gluten free that gave me one healthy egg - my baby!! And research baby aspirin. I also SWEAR by it for many reasons. It IS going to happen for you I promise xoxo
