Testing April- Easter Conceivers ;)

Hey Ladies!

I just realised I am on the Pregavit and not the Pregnacare. Would you recommend going on the pregnacare? Where do I get it from and how much does it cost?

Welcome Snoekie! I too hope for you that this is the last time you join a testing thread for 2012.

Hayley you can definitely still stay on and chat.

Giggles I agree, I don't think it is ever too late to start a supplement. Rather late than never.

Jooste good luck with the injections! It is all worth it in the end!

Afm: we managed to BD Sat, Sun, Mon and wed. So hopefully that does the trick. It is more than we have been doing the past few months. But DH seems more on board for trying.

I hate the TWW! Will have to go get a couple of HPT, used the ones I had. I normally start a day early any way, so no chance of getting my hopes up.

Hello Ladies

How is everyone feeling? Hoping you all bding your hearts out

Jooste- I agree, take each injection with a big smile. This is your cycle And I agree its never too late start supplements, if it doesn't help the current cycle it will help the next cycles.

Hayley- that's great news. I really hope you catch that egg this month then you won't even need IUI How nice would that be

Snoekie- goodluck Hun. Sending loads of baby dust to you. Curious, how much does femara cost for a months supply? I was on 100mg (and loads of other stuff)when I did IUI and conceived my boy, but I think we can all agree clomid has some unpleasant side effects which I heard the femara doesn't have.

AFM- no positive OPK yet and nothing on the ovatel either. Currently on cd15. Started getting ovary cramping yesterday. Have ideal CM so far. So really hoping I will be ovulating on my own. DH and I have managed to bd Sunday, Tuesday and this morning Hope thats been enough, will carry on LOL.

Jooste- I find your list of supplements interesting. I was reading that extra vit c (additional to a multivit) is ideal to conceive. Was wondering if staminogro, sperm-i-prove and a multivit could be taken together. Has your hubbys sperm quality improved with that?

For the ladies with PCOS- have you used OPKs and been successful in pinpointing ovulation? I have been researching and apparently OPKs aren't ideal for PCOS women since some women have LH throughout their cycle coz their bodies keep trying to ovulate. My other question, would that mean that using microscopes would that also be ineffective since it uses estrogen to detect ovulation? And if you have high levels of estrogen wouldn't that give false indications?

Then my other question- I want to start recording my temps. I started it briefly before and stopped. How does it work exactly? Any helpful charts I could use? And any other advice?

Hello Ladies,
I will be joining in on the testing thread for April, Hopefully this will be the last time I join a testing thread for the rest of 2012.

I am now 3DPO, and will test on 8'th April. I am very hopeful for this cycle. I am Using 5mg Femara, 850mg Glucophage twice a day and 50mg Vit B6. I didn't stimulate on the Fertomid, But I do Stim on the Femara. So very excited.

Jooste,
Best of luck with your IVF preperation and all that lie ahead. I pray that this brings your yourney to an end!

Best of luck to all.
And heaps of BABY DUST!!

Giggles
Thank you wishing me luck with the "steeks"! He he!

BTW there is no such thing as too late to start with supplementation in your cycle. (only with fertility drugs). Remember that your body is now already busy making the eggs that will only OV during your next cycle and the cycle thereafter. So...all the nutrients in your system at this stage not only influence the eggies of this cycle...but also those for the next 2 cycles.

Morning Ladies,

Chanz thanks for the info, its very helpful.

Jooste goodluck with the "steeks"

Hayley, don't be a stranger, doesnt mean you not testing this month, you need not chat with us .

I am on CD4 today, so its too late to start Pregnacare this month. I will try start it the beginning of my next cycle. (lets hope I get a BFP before that time).

Baby dust to us all.

Oh and happy hump day

Ladies, i feel like an idiot.. I've roughly worked out that IUI should happen middle April so i shall only be testing in early May and not in April like i thought...

Anyhow, i will still pop in and see how my TTC budies are doing until a 'May testing thread is started'

Hayley / Chanz

Currently I'm injectin Lucrin (to stop me from OV naturally) and Menopur (to stim my ovaries). I'm really taking each "steek" with a smile, as I believe that it will result in a BFP in the end!

Regarding supplements:
My FS recommends Staminogro (which DH and I are both taking at night before bed).

But - we have also added the following:
Me: Omega 3, Royal jelly, Inofolic, & Pregnacare, as well as extra Vit C
DH: Vitabiotics conception for men, Sperm-I-Prove, Omega 3 and extra Vit C

Review on Pregnacare talks about research being published on the positive effect it has on IVF patients. So...I would say...GO FOR IT
