TRYING FOR 2015 BABY

Good Afternoon Ladies!!

Firstly, I honestly don't know what to say. ALL of my moomie emails are going to my spam folder, even after I marked them 'Not Spam' so I am getting no updates.

Last week I didn't think about it because I was just buried in work (not that this week is better but, who cares) but now, when I came on here and saw ALL the posts, oh my goodness!!

Welcome to all the new ladies, hope you guys have a short and sweet visit here by us. We are a fabulous bunch of ladies on here (even if I say so myself ) who support each other and advise each other.

@ Anzel - my first cycle on fertomid also did that to AF so, don't freak out!

@ lillyr - EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. I believe that it will be.

@ Babydreaming - I know that feeling. Sometimes time passes too quickly and other times, not quick enough when it comes to TTC.

@ P4M1 - I'd say just BD the time away!! OPT's be damned!

@ MTC - All I can say is WOW! Such a long cycle... I understand your frustration and worries about it and the fact that the gynaes are ALWAYS so fully booked, I just don't understand it. Hopefully you'll be getting the answers you deserve soon.

@ Everyone else, sorry if I missed you, I have to do some catching up on here and I'll have to check the settings on my emails so that I can get updates, seriously.

AFM, CD 13 (my lucky number) which means that IF I have gone back to my usual cycles is day of the BO I'm feeling much better. Over the 'drama' and all the negativity. I admit, it was a low blow for me but I realized that the more I push and stress and try to plan everything in minute detail, the more it's not going to happen.

I tend to 'over-think, over-analyse, over-plan' everything and TTC is unfortunately one of those situations where you can't 'over' everything.

However having said that, hubby and I are going to see a homeopath on Thursday. Going to tell him our sob little story and have him look deeply into my beautiful blue eyes and tell us what he thinks. We decided that yes, while we aren't 'intensely actively TTC' we aren't just going to stop. As I said, I feel much better now because a lot of TTC stress is now off our (my) shoulders and I think the break is just what we need.

Thanks so very much to each of you that supported me with words of encouragement and wisdom, who felt my pain and cried with me. You guys are an amazing bunch to have contact with and to be able to talk to regarding anything.


Hoping you lovelies have an awesome day further.

xx

Hallo ladies,

Hope everyone is feeling fine and no stress...

@Jaybee-01, I am only testing once a day in the afternoon. Is it any usefull to test more than once a day?

@MomToChloe - I am doing fine today. Just very tired, although I am getting plenty of sleep. Wow your cycle is awfully long. First time I hear of such a long cycle. Have you done a HPT yet?

@Anzel, good luck with the new cycle of Fertomid. I see you are on 100mg, do you then take 2 tablets at once or is it one in the morning and one in the afternoon, or is it just one with 100mg?

AFM I am on CD15 and still in my fertile window. I have not yet had a positive OPK, so will keep on testing.

Do you ladies do the Cervical position tests? Do you find it easy? I have started to pay attention to the softness of the cervix (hoping I am analysing the correct body part though )

Does EWCM appear before or after ovulation? Does anyone know?

Take care ladies, the week is almost over...

thank you ladies

@P4M1- at the moment i am only taking folic acid. So it will be Ferimed and folic acid only. I asked gynae about other vits and he said they are not necessary, he will recommend aftre first trimester.

@babydreaming- i am still waiting for gynae to find me another one, but hopefully in hte next two weeks I will see the new gynae.LOL i can agree with you that these emotions are my symptom, i am such a mess emotionally right now(i just worry over everything). I still say we count this cycle out when AF arrives, so FX

@Anzel- All the best with this new cycle dear. baby dust to you:)

Morning, ladies

Apologies for being so quiet. I've been busy marking 200 transcripts and finishing three UNISA assignments, before I can officially be on holiday!

Unfortunately, AF arrived on Sunday, but it was all brown and funny! Sorry, girls, I know. TMI! I was concerned about it, as there was no read or anything. Very painful cramps and backache, and then the weird flow. Spoke to Gynae yesterday. He said that Fertomid does that to your periods, as it mixes your hormones arround. It should start to settle this month. So let's wait and see what happens. I'm starting with my second round of Fertomid 100mg today.

Welcome to all the new ladies! Loads of baby dust your way!

@MTC - Yeah definitely, cant wait to get those tests done. Wow hun, that is still a long time to go. Did you explain your cycle to the gynae when you made the appointment? I can only imagine your frustration. Sorry hun, this must be so horrible to go through.

@Lilliyr - Awe sweety, try to relax, if your physician is happy then you have nothing to worry about. When are you going for your next scan? See you have another symptom already....emotional... Try to stay calm hun, everything is gonna be okay! I'm good hey, nothing really going on at the moment. CD19 for me, I'm not really paying much attention to TTC at the moment, just want to get this cycle over and done with so that I can get them tests done.

@Babydreaming
Unfortunately I ran ot of OPK'S last month and haven't bought any again but maybe I should pop by clicks after work
How are you doing?

@MTC
O hun, so sorry that your cycle is this long. When you go to Gyne please get tested for PCOS. Better to know than be in the dark about it. I hope it's nothing too serious sometimes our bodies just play nasty tricks on us!

@Lillyr
Hi there hun
I'm glad you are feeling better
Pregnancy usually makes our bodies burn more iron, aside from the Ferimed supplement what other preggy vitamins are you taking? There is one at clicks and discem that is High in iron (cant remember the name right now)
Look after yourself hun
Thinking of you

hey ladies..

welcome to our new TTC ladies..here's a load of sticky baby dust for all

@P4M1- hun, get on with BD. ewcm is a good sign. I noticed it last month and i bd'ed that evening. So BD every other day(even daily) from today. I agree with Babydreaming, please see if you can use an OPK, i think BO is close by and an OPK might be able to pick that up. BD BD BD girl, get those swimmers ready and waiting for the eggy. All the best hey. Once you are sure Ov has passed, try and take pineapple(eat the core of it too)..

@babydreaming- i am doing so so. Today is just one of those days, i feel so down. I took bloods on thursday, and because my gynae is on leave i ended up requestiing the lab to forward me the report. It shows i have low iron, so yaa thhat just threw me off, worry set in and i have been having the worst morning ever. i just wanna curl up and sleep. But 5 min ago my physician called and told me to take Ferimed, he says its safe for pregnancy. He wasnt worried at all, he says i am not anemic but i should take the supplement. So yaa, that made me feel so much better. Other than that, i am just my normal self, no symptoms, nothing. my bbs are feeling better as well, not so sore anymore. How are you doing?

@Jaybee- well, until AF shows up, you are still in the game. So FX that she doesnt rock up

@MomToChloe- have you spoken to your dr yet hun? i really think you shoukd get this cycle checked out.

@ninies- welcome. GL with catching the eggy. Please dont wait for a positive OPK to start bd'ing..all the best dear

much love ladies
