Anyone else trying for a 2014 baby?

Morning everybody - this chat has been so quite. Here's hoping that no news is good news (as the silly saying goes!!). I am halfway through my TTW. Haven't experienced the bad cramping of last time, which at times I see as a good sign, and other times I see it as a bad sign. Depends on my mood and how long I've been lying awake at night! I have really been battling to sleep all week It was my daughter's 4th birthday on Sunday and we had a little party for her on Friday afternoon. Friday was also my birthday!. So lots of celebrations. We had 5 little girls over - so nice and small. The theme was My Little Pony, and I baked pony shaped cookies which they iced and decorated. Awesome activity - kept the little girls busy for half the party. After the party we left my sugar-hyped daughter with a babysitter and went out for dinner with friends. Was really a lovely lovely day. Well, I hope you are all well, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello lovely ladies,

I hope you are all well. I have been catching up on all the chit chat am sorry to all those who have received BFN's.

AFM: After going for my bloods and going to see my Homeopath i have good news and not so good news although if i work hard enough i can really change things around. My blood work has proven that i officially have Type 2 Diabetes due to my raised Insulin levels of 55...my homeopath explained that the highest she has ever seen in her career was 45 so i made it to the top of her log

I am officially on homeopathic meds, Chromium, Vitamin E and Vitamins. I remain optimistic and am trying hard to adopt as healthy a lifestyle as i can. I understand that Insulin and Type 2 Diabetes can both be reversed through a healthy lifestyle and diet.

The best news though is that my hormone levels (FSH & LH) both show in the normal range. Hearing that i realised that for so long i have been concerned that due to my PCOS i have been unable to fall pregnant but yet it actually comes down to me having raised Insulin Levels and an unhealthy lifestyle. My homeopath explained that she actually does not believe that i have PCOS to the extreme my previous Gynie made it out to be. She believes that i might have a few cysts but nothing that will prevent me from falling pregnant once i have lost weight and my insulin levels have stabilized. She really put things into perspective and i really believe that my PCOS is not as severe as i have thought all along, when we were discussing my menstrual cycle she already had her doubts as i have a regular 28 day cycle every month without fail.

For the next 3 months i will be on Homeopathic medicine and keep persevering to be as healthy as i can and from 3-6 months we will then start focusing on pregnancy and getting my body ready for pregnancy and hopefully we finally get our long awaited BFP

Lots of baby dust to you all, have a great weekend

So sorry Juno

Reading through all your posts lately has made me realise that TTC for 2014 could not be as easy as I thought. Initially (we still are) leaving it up to the man above to decide when this happens. I have my first gynae app next week Tuesday with Dr S Dalla @ Cape Gate MC, I feel like I need to have all the tests done to check if all is ok down there as we have been TTC since October '12

I am on CD10 today

Baby dust to all of you.

True Juno - I have however come to the realisation that the Stats are just not in our favour. And am just hoping and praying for that golden egg.
doing the IVF just to make sure I've done all that I can.
Will continue without BC, if the IVF fails.

So sorry Carmen.

With the many pregnancies I know about and have read about of women in their early 40s falling pregnant I am trying so hard to think that it isn’t because of old eggs that we aren’t

Best of luck for October and look after yourself until then..

Hi all

welcome Bell@.

So sorry Juno!

Good luck Nicolette! FXFX

Nice to hear from you GW.

Well bloods confirmed BFN, so another chapter closed. 6 perfect rounds of AI- 3 follies good sizes, 3 triggers 3 natural LH surge. All very good samples with the last one being close to perfect (according to the lab). My eggies are just too old I think.
So no I take a step back, rest and focus on the one round of IVF for October.

I will pop in every once in a while to comment and will definitely be 'lurking'.

Sticky baby dust everyone.

DPO9 and started spotting today so looks like I'm out..So incredibly depressed.
