Trying for a 2016 baby

I actually found a website selling them for R 495.00. It is alot but still cheaper than R 950.00 through a lab.

@Chanti - I think 6 months is long enough. Dont leave it too late, because you cannot get time back and it gets harder as one gets older. It is weird that you could be without BC for so long and nothing happened. I still remember me leaving BC and anticipating that it would take a year before anything happens and before 3 months have passed I was pg.

There is actually a Sperm Check test kit that you can get to do at home. Check the link below.

But it looks like it is expensive. Maybe we should investigate its availability in South Africa.

@ninies - No I'm not exactly sure when we should start investigating, this is our 4th cycle so far. I wish there were sperm testers that we could use at home just like we use OPK's I think if we exceed the 6 month mark then I will go for a second opinion on my cyst diagnosis and just make sure it hasn't damage my tube or something or that it has in fact gotten smaller. I could then just check with the gynae at the same time that there is nothing else i could do in the meantime. The weird thing for me though is that we havent used birth control for 18months and haven't had an "oopsie", either I am really good at managing my cyle and fertile period or I have someting wrong... with either DH or I.

@Chanti - Sorry to hear that you are feeling miserable today. Dont worry, tomorrow it will all be better and the sun will shine again.
Maybe this is your month, who knows. You are in the game untill AF shows her ugly face.
Hubby has only been on Spermaid for just a little over a month now. I must actually buy another bottle as his is almost finish. Some days he forgot to take them so that is why he still has some left.

Yes it would be interesting to see what is going on with a SA. I think we will try that in 2 months or so.
Has your hubby done a SA?

@ninies - I am fine, feeling miserable with life today which is expected seeing as AF is due around Thurs. Have sore boobs and a mild cramp every now and then but nothing more. Had a bit of yellow CM yesterday morning but nothing since then so really don't think it meant anything. Don't really see this cycle as being the one so haven't gotten my hopes up. Its funny how some months you honestly feel like its the one and then others you're just not feeling it. Is this your second cycle with hubby being on his tabs? It would be interesting to see if there has been any change when you next do a SA.

@Blou Sonneblom - I agree with Chanti - go with the first positive OPK you get and dont waste anymore OPK's. I also think you portray all the signs of ovulation and I am holding thumbs that you catch that eggy!

@Liza - Sorry AF arrived, but new cycle is new opportunities, and you have an exciting time ahead. Please keep us posted on what your gynae friend says and does for you. Have you managed to get the Conceive plus?

@EMJ - We did not plan our first child so when it happened we made our finances work for our situation. I think that is what happens in anyway, you will make a plan. I would however suggest putting some money away every month if you can that you can use to buy the bigger stuff like the cott and pram etc that is a bit costly. And I always say that if you have one child you have already done the capital investation and you might aswell have another child then.
Good luck and dont stress too much about finances.

@Chanti - Yep it is very quiet in here. How are you doing? Are you symptom spotting?

I am just chillaxing at the moment. Currently on CD9 so hopefully by the weekend I will be in ovulation mode and be able to use my conceive plus.

@Blou - How exciting!! I would stop testing now just to avoid any confusion, they always say to calculate ovulation from your first positive OPK. The pain and EWCM all seem to be good indications on ovulation Catch that eggy!!

It seems to be rather quiet here this week....
