TRYING FOR 2015 BABY

@Jay-Bee01

I'm thinking of taking a hpt anywhere from and in between 14-17DPO
Maybe test from 14 to 17dpo! (pee on a stick addict!)
So I must definitely stock up on some tests

@Babydreaming88
I didn't have any sure signs that O was here this month, my BBT chart analysis said that I might have O'd on CD14
I will also definitely be reading up on vitex because like Jay-Bee01 I also don't have much CM

Good Morning Ladies!!

Glad to hear everyone had a great weekend.

Sorry AF showed Babydreaming! It really is so disheartening when you think that 'OK, this is it!!' However, it is now a new cycle, new opportunities, new chances, new hope!!

@ Jaybee & P4M1 - you never know ladies, maybe you guys BD'd at the right time and there is a little surprise waiting for you!!

To answer the questions
1. I'm taking PregnaCare Conception. It has all the vitamins, minerals, etc that a woman trying to conceive needs. Also, should you be drinking it when you get BFP, you can finish off the course because it has no 'negative' effects.
2. Hubby and I BD every chance we get! We used to BD every second day (CD8, 10, 12) then every day (CD13, 14, 15, 16) then every second day again (CD18, 20, 22). Yeah, yeah, I know...
3. Before I started PregnaCare, I took folic acid, vitamin C, iron and CoEnzyme Q10 (or something like that) hubby also took them and zinc as well.
4. No lube.
5. I don't temp.
6. Not applicable
7. I usually lay down with pillow under hips for 30 minutes.
8. Yes, I told my employer last week that hubby and I are ttc. I had to because when we have to go to dr, we have to go. Sometimes it might be twice a week etc. To check if I ovulated correctly and the HCG trigger shot and then 2 days later for the IUI. I cried when I told him, couldn't help it.
9. My parents know that we're ttc. They also know that we have to go for IUI.

Ladies, thanks for all the love and support. It is currently CD 25 for me so AF should be here this week. If not, I swear it will a miracle if I'm pregnant and don't even know it!

Yeah, it's a tricky situation when family has issues because of 'outsiders'. Ah well, we can only hope and pray that the people we love will open their eyes and see their 'significant others' for the bastards and bitches they really are.

OK, I have officially been SWAMPED with work. I think it's the bosses way of testing me, to see what I can accomplish under pressure. If I am quiet (which I probably will be for the next few days) please don't take offense. As soon as I have news, I will be posting.

OMW!!! IUI is getting closer and closer!!

Lots of love to all.

@Jay-Bee01 - Just wish I could! . Yes its a natural product, I dont think any side effect according to my research. Yip, I also had almost no CM before Vitex, it was always creamy and then watery/creamy never stretchy. On CD12 it felt very wet down there, went to the loo and check CM, sorry this is tmi, my finger was covered and a whole blob came out too, it lasted until CD 16. Really in love with this product. I hope it will work for you too!!

@ Babydream,

Ha yes punching them in the face will work I have heard about Vitex and thank you for the link as I am going to read up on it now. Is it a natural product? I also don't have very noticeable or almost no EWCM so I am very interested in this product seeing that it has helped you.

@ P4M1, I know its too early to symptom spot but one cannot help oneself, lol. I have read that a stuffy nose is a really good sign and I will be holding thumbs for our BFP!

AF is due on the 28th Feb or 1 March which is our anniversary weekend and we are going away. Thinking if I test just before the weekend and its a BFN then we will be upset over the weekend. But if AF doesn't show by Monday then I will be 17DPO and will test. Aargh don't know if I will be able to hold out till then. When are you going to test?

@Jay-Bee01 - Thanks very much! Okay great, thank you, at least now I know what the first step is going to be and I can explain a little more to hubby. Yip I agree with you, I hate it when people ask so can we say happy mothers day now, feel like punching them in the face, LOL! Some people just dont know what we are going through ttc. Only my mom knows we are ttc and I am thinking of telling the one lady I work with.

@P4M1 - Well GL hun, really hope you get that bfp! How did you confirm O?

So about Vitex: I tried EPO (Evening Primrose Oil) to increase CM as I read so many good things about it okay, started taking 3000mg a day, from CD 1 to O. It didnt increase CM at all and it delayed O. EPO totally changed my cycles, I was a 28 - 30 day cycle and after EPO I went to a 33 - 35 day cycle. It was super annoying. Then I read about Vitex on What to Expect and I thought to myself, lets give that a try and ladies ITS WORKS! I started taking 2100mg a day from CD 6, on CD 12 I had ewcm, which I have NEVER ever had before and my cycle returned to and 28 - 30 day cycle again. Do yourself a favour and read up on Vitex. I got it from Dischem its under R 100,here is a link of what the product looks like :

Dr prescribed Staminogro and Omega Vite for hubby and I have read very good things about it too, its also available at Dischem and a bit more expensive, R250 i think but hubby got it covered through the medical aid. I have heard us ladies can take it too.

@Jay-Bee01

I know it is still early to symptom spot but I have some lower backache and slight twinges/cramps on right side
I also have a stuffy nose (might be sinus)
I hope we get our BFP'S this month

Maybe that "pulling" sensation is a good thing

At how many DPO are you going to take a HPT?
