Just joined

Hello Ladies,

My name is Bonny Stewart, I am new in this forum. I stay in Mbabane, Swaziland
My husband and I got married in May, 2014 and we started trying soon after. Up to now we havent been successful. In October 2015, I was diagnosed with PCOS and immediately started on metformin. In December I was given clomid and there was no success with that. I am still continuing with metformin, and have managed to lose some weight (which is a good thing )

I am so hoping to have a 2016 baby!

I have question about Discovery waiting period. How long?

Hello everyone,

I just found out I am 6 weeks preggies with our first...was soo scared and panicky at first, but I am getting used to the idea.
I've been following the moomie forums, I find them soo comforting and been learning a lot.

Hope this journey is a wonderful one here.

Anyone due in Oct too?

Thanks, good to meet someone who understands where I am coming from. We want to try before we get married which I think would be fine considering we getting married end of April. As far as I can see I am pretty spot on and do ovulate when I should, although I was early this month but I don't know if stress had anything to do with it.

Thank you and congrats on your pregnancy. I hope to be joining the rest of the mom's to be here soon.

@ Kristen,

I was in the same boat as you two years ago when we got married at 35. We also were not sure if we had to start ttc before the wedding or after as we didn't want to be pregnant for the wedding or honeymoon. As all the other ladies suggested PregaOmega Plus and extra folic acid is the best vitamins and I started taking them a good few months before the wedding and I went for a papsmear as well. I also bumped myself up from a hospital plan to a medical aid as I know they can be quite fussy when it comes to the waiting period.

Long story short we decided to wait till after the wedding/honeymoon to start trying for a baby and only after 6 moths of trying did we go to a Gynae and found out I am not ovulating. Then it took another 8 months after that to finally get my positive test (I am 27weeks now). Both myself and my husband agrees that we wish we started trying before we got married as we want two kids so when this one is born I will be turning 38 and time is getting short

Whatever you decide good luck and enjoy the wedding planning

Kirstenw - I think the plain folic tabs are called betabs folic acid and very cheap. It is good to start it before falling pregnant as it prevents neural tube defects. The neural tube is formed in very early pregnancy.

I used Pregomega plus while ttc and early pregnancy.
The pregnancy vitamins are a bit different from the other ones according to what is needed during pregnancy. E.g. contains less vit. A and more Iron than other vitamin supplements

I started taking it just after I found out I wash preg that was on 7 weeks, the folic acid I have been taking since we were ttc it has been now almost 2 years, I was under a gyn and she said it can only do you body good, im not sure what brand I just go to the pharmacy and ask for folic acid its like R15 for 30.

I don't no about the other vitamins dr just said I must try preg omega plus, but if it makes me nauseas I must leave it and just take folic acid for now till my next appointment. but im lucky don't have ms allot maybe once a week.
