Hellobee Boards

So sorry to hear.

What treatments have you tried for your anxiety?

I'm so sorry that you even had to write this post. I'm not too far away from 6 months, once i'm able to start again we'll be 9 months into this having taken 3 months off for a m/c. I've battled with depression since middle school, so I can sortof relate to you in that sense. If you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me and i'll gove you my number. I cannot imagine facing this without DH so I'm here for you!

@anonysquire: so sorry you hit 6 months. I have pcos and got pregnant purely through acupuncture and Chinese herbs, no other interventions at all. There are quite a few who specialise in fertility and the needles are very thin, you barely feel them.

@anonysquire: mine took insurance. Just make sure whoever you go to has experience with fertility. Good luck, I know so many people with PCOS who got pregnant with it!

@anonysquire: I'm so sorry this wasn't your month. You're totally allowed to feel the way you do, doesn't matter how long you've been trying! I think it's great that you're looking into other options, I've heard great things about acupuncture as well, both for anxiety and fertility treatment.

I also just wanna pop in to say I'm sorry you're going through this. We know docs don't always listen to us and it sucks worse when it's our own bodies. I truly believe your anxiety and crazy periods are related. Completely different story but my mom's anxiety is so much worse right around her period but nobody believes her either. Hopefully you'll find someone who will listen. You deserve it.... and you deserve your bfp! *hugs*

I wanted to pop in and give you a virtual hug as well.

I also had about a year of no ovulation due to PCOS. I also hav anxiety and I think that contributed to my lack of periods.

I just wanted to second the reccomendation for acupuncture. 2 weeks after acupuncture I ovulated for the first time in a year....I had no idea at the time, because instead I getting AF, I got my BFP. I seriously credit everything to the acupuncture.
The needles were little and didn't hurt, plus they accepted my insurance.

Best wishes for your Dec 3rd appointment!

I dealt with PCOS. I had regular periods until the month we got married then it all went hay wire. I know this is going to sound funny and I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but as I was dealing with month after month of negatives I was looking up adoption options. My husband was looking up fertility specialists. I agreed to try some fertility treatments but nothing major, just hormone therapies. I agreed to try with the condition that I got to pull the plug whenever I wanted and then we would adopt.

I had looked at waiting children and knew that I could be their mother and love them as much as a biological child so it made me feel better to know that someday I would be a mother. I strongly believed that if my body wasn't designed to carry a chld my heart was and I would find that child.

I think for each woman facing negative test you have to find what calms your heart. It's different for everyone. I had one friend who trained for a marathon. I think looking towards something makes it easier so you aren't focused on each single day and the disappointments that come TTC.

Sorry I know that was long!! Big hugs

Just wanted to send a virtual hug!

Wanted to send my hugs, wish I could say it gets better, and maybe you'll feel up to stopping by the infertility thread sometime. There's a lot of us over there.

No need to apologize for venting - get it all out! Sorry that you've hit a milestone in the TTC journey, and that you are having ovulation issues. I hope that your 12/3 appointment helps you get more answers. And it sounds like accupuncture may be in your future too? {Hugs}

Hang in there! I remember how hard the 6 month mark was! Are you charting? I heard great things about the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, Maca, evening primrose oil. But the only thing I can vouch for is the charting, honey, and Pre-Seed.

Hoping you get a pleasant surprise this Christmas

@anonysquire: I've had so many friends that it took 6+ months of trying - all young, all healthy, all have healthy beautiful babies now, too
((((hugs))))) wishing you an early christmas present and the best 2013 ever!
