Trying for a 2016 baby

Hi, ladies

Hope all of you had a lovely week and are looking forward to a restful weekend.

@Jillian - You don't have to undergo fertility treatment yet, but I would still suggest visiting a gynae - Something doesn't sound quite right. It might be the vitamins, or it might be something else. It won't hurt just to get things checked out. Most medical aids cover a visit to the gynae.

@Nikita, honey - Keep your chin up. I know it's hard and I know it feels like you want to give up. But don't. Just keep hanging in there. Be kind to yourself, get some wine and chocolates or takeout and just enjoy your husband. I found that the stress of TTC has begun to affect our relationship at home. I now try to avoid talking TTC with hubby, as I know how stressful it is for him aswell. He really wants to give me a baby, but we both know it's not in his hands, but God's alone. Now we try to spend a lot of time with each other to just love each other, without the added burden of TTC. I am praying that this month is your month and that you will get your BFP. You deserve it, after all you have been through. Give it until 14dpo, Then test. I was almost certain last month that I was pregnant, until I started spotting late 14dpo. Got full blown period on 15dpo, which then made my luteal phase exactly 14 days. I was very upset, but at least I know that my luteal phase is 100%.

@Chanti - How is the saving going? You should maybe make some cupcakes and sell them, or something! It will speed up the process of saving! LOL! I am not much of a baker, but I know people love cupcakes.

@Sugar - Holding thumbs for you! You're not out of the game yet, hey?! Sure you will get your BFP soon!

@Ayesha - How I know the feeling! Clomid makes me moody as hell- not immediately, but in those few days running up to AF. Hubby says I am very impatient and cranky and he just wants to stay out of my way! Sympathy!! Which meds are you on?

AFM, I am CD 13, with loads of EWCM and potential for a positive OPK tonight. The one from this morning was much darker compared to the one from last night, so I'm expecting a positive OPK either tonight or tomorrow morning. All other symptoms are lining up, so I'm quite positive. Apart from that, I am just utterly exhausted. My students are writing their first test series next week - That leaves me with 250 100mark tests to mark! At least the week after that we are leaving for the beach - So something to look forward to!

Otherwise, I am excited to announce that my first book was printed and delivered to me! It is the book I told you about last year, the one I wrote for the TVET sector? See die picture below! I am very excited about it! All the hard work coming to fruition. Looking forward to two other books in print form within the next few weeks. I am finishing up with the fourth book, and have started with the fifth. After that one, I have one more to go! Keeps me busy and out of trouble!!

@Jillian - How exciting!! When is the wedding? It will be easier focusing on one thing you are right. Will pray that it all falls into place easily. Perhaps a honeymoon baby

@Chanti - Thanks for the comment, but because we are planning our wedding now and saving for that, fertility treatment is quite far for us now, once married and everything is sorted then we can give i undivided attention to fertility treatments and so forth...

@Nikita - I did 2 tests during the time that my period was late (It came 8 days late) and both came up negative. So i took it that was it... No pregnancy just a late period, but the symptoms are so deceiving. I have never in my entire years of having AF gotten such weird symptoms and even during and after my periord, this is soo weird and makes absolutely no sense...

@Jillian - have you perhaps thought of doing a pregnancy test or just to get a blood test. Sorry if it sounds insensitive, but someone very close to me still got her period for a few months while she was pregnant. She also didn't know that she was pregnant.

@Chanti - yip 8DPO for me today. No real symptoms just tired and irritated and scared. Something we all go through.

AFM - 8 DPO not sure if I will test. Don't think I will though I am a bit gat vol at the moment so will take it as it comes.

How is everyone else?

@Jillian - I def don't want to raise too many alarms but don't wait too long on the testing, I had testing only 9 months into my journey and am so glad I didn't waste anymore time as we now know how to proceed. You might need a simple fix that will save you a whole year of anxiety It could be the vitamins making you feel so weird, most meds take about 3 months to get used to.

Hello Ladies,

Thank you for the welcomes

@Nikita & @sugar - I have decided to stop all the vitamins as i am convinced that it is causing my cycle to be irregular.

@Chanti - No we have not done any other fertility testing as of yet, but we are planning to if it does not happen this year. Yes i did get my period with all those symptoms and still have very weird symptoms and i am currently on CD8.. but i am felling bloated and have a weird tingling feeling in belly, also i have nausea every now and then... I really dont understand why my body is so weird this cycle...

Baby Dust too all... XOXOX

Hey Ladies!!

@Nikita - Thanks hun, I will def be like Dory! How are u feeling? 8dpo today??

@Jillian - Welcome!!! Have you guys done any other fertility testing to see why it is taking you so long? The vitamins do affect u a bit in the beginning but you should be fine. Did your period actually arrive with those symptoms?

@Sugar - This must be testing your patience hugely!! Im thinking of u xx

@ayesha - What meds are you going on? Let's hope this is the last time they get married!!! Atleast they made their way back to each other again quite sweet

@Anzel - The holiday sounds amazing!!! Relax and enjoy the time together.

AFM not much happening, been hectically busy, looking forward to just relaxing a bit this weekend and getting my paperwork and housework sorted.
