How to stay calm

[Nicky Dean]

Well lucky me, i got my period very b....y early which is very unusall for me and ive been accepted for treatment cant believe it at last, only waited nearly 4yrs, but it is on NHS so will get 3 try's.<br>But ive gone into panic mode and due to some health probs very nearly decided to call it a day before i had even started, but after much soul searching i'm gonna give it my best shot and get on with it............<br>So i start injecting on the 27th dec, just get christmas out the way and forget new year (just tea or coffee for me) dont know whether to get excited or nervous, what ever i shall shut up and hope you can advise me on ways to relax, i have tried reflexology and think its fab, but was wondering if there was something that wont cost the earth.<br><br>Love and best wishes to all at whatever stage your at.<br><br>Hayley please get in touch, let me know your OK XXX<br><br>Love Nickyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I own a hair and beauty salon and its great to just turn off the lights, light loads of candels , get some relaxing music and just lay down (cause you shouldnt really have baths) and try and empty your mind and concentrate on feeling that you have a lovely thick lining of the womb and that there is a baby growing in there All positive thoughts . <br>Drink Decaffe coffe and tea cause that will be more calming or better still fruit teas peppermint is good after egg collection. <br><br>OR get a good book to read and make yourself lay down and read it !, <br><br>OR get hubby to massage oil into your shoulders cause that is where the tension collects but do not use aromatherapy oils cause this isnt good when you are trying to conceive or when you are pregnant ( the oils go into your blood stream ) <br><br>OR Just by rubbing the feet and head can relax you ( moving the scalp not the hair )<br><br>I hand make cards to relax me <br><br>Hope this helps<br>Trace x

Thank you for your suggestions, very good too.<br>I'm glad you mentioned aromatherapy oils as i have reg facials that include those oils, so i will cut those out, reading a good book, my mum gave me a book to read at the beggining of this year it was a trilogy and could not put it down, just need something like that again.<br><br>But anyway thank you again and good luck to you<br>Love<br>Nickyxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Nicky,<br>Just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world with your tmt.<br>I found lying in a dimly lit room listening to my fav music helped to relax and also reiki or a massage.<br>Re fruit teas - avoid raspberry - contracts the uterus so good for bringing on labour but to be avoided during tmt.<br>A malted milk horlicks is relaxing at bedtime - am I sounding very old now? Where did I put my bedsocks?<br>Di

Thank you di, have been drinking decaff tea for some time now, and i quite like camomile tea find that very calming, not a milky drink person unless its a hot toddy with alcohol in............<br>missing that already and i havent even started yet, on works do next tues eve so i will a good go at drinking myself silly..<br>Its awkward for me to relax in the eve as i work eve's 4 on 4 off, but i will try it once i'm off that is if my DH gives me some peace and quiet!!<br><br>Thank you once again to all<br>Lots of love<br>Nickyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
