Trying for a 2016 baby

Hi ladies
Just an update on me, I have been using my OPK's and finally got a positive result this morning on CD13
We did BD last night, and we have been BD'ing every second night since CD 8, I assume it would be best to also BD tonight and tomorrow night, should I stop testing now or would you suggest I keep testing until I get negative OPK again? I am checking my BBT so I should see when my temperature spikes. I did see EWCM on CD11 but I thought that was a bit early? I will check if I see it again today or tomorrow. I do feel a dull pain in my lower back today so that could be a clear sign of O? Sorry for all the questions I am still new to all of this hehehehe

@Liza - Sorry AF arrived, but what an exciting week ahead hey!!

@Nikita - Thanks will definitely keep those in mind. Yes I am dying for a little weekend away, hopefully over the long weekend in August we can escape Your husband has a good plan although it is very hard as sometimes you need some new scenery and a little fresh air.

@EmJ - It is very exciting deciding you want to try for a little one! Our journey to TTC started when all of my friends were getting pregnant and I got broody, husband wasn't ready and so I left him for about a year, he is too broody now and very excited to have a little baba. We haven't focused on finances too much, we bought our house at the beginning of the year and got medical aid and that was about it. Just winging the rest You will know...

Hi ladies,

My first time posting in this group - enjoyed reading some of the posts, have learned so much!

We plan to start TTC in September - but I've been so paranoid about finances. Constantly wondering if we can comfortably afford a baby - we both have our own businesses - so especially with mine I need to save now and while pregnant (should we be lucky to conceive) to ensure I have cash on hand during the months of "maternity leave".

But I guess if you really wait until you have a boatload of money for each and every scenario most people won't have babies?

Would love to hear how you guys knew the time is right?

Good luck to everyone TTC!

Morning Ladies

Hope you all had a fab weekend!

AF arrived Saturday evening. So glad to be on a normal cycle this month. Did not really expect anything to happen as i know that we did not BD as we should have.

CD3 for me today. So much is happening this week and i am so excited!! Hubby and i were speaking about the Concieve plus. We decided to wait untill he has done he's SA and i have seen the new gynie.

Feeling so positive that we all will get our BFP's before Christmas!!

@Ninies - I bought the tube, just thought I would be getting more out of it I will see how it goes and then will then maybe try the applicators.

@Nikita - I agree that everything is very expensive. I dont know why though. There is so many people that is struggling I would think they should make the stuff cheaper.
The other Lubricant you are referring to is pre-seed. It is expensive. Some articles and reviews I read people actually commented that conceive plus is better than pre-seed. It also contains some minerals and calcium etc.
Did you buy the applicators or the tube?

@Chanti - Thank you . It wont hurt to start using those tablets. Staminogro is expensive but I really like them, both of us uses it and it helps with energy and I heard a few good things about that. To run your own business is very stressful, maybe you should try and break away for a weekend (if you have finances) DH told me that we are not going anywhere for the next year and a half, he said he is going to put all the extra monies away which is a good thing.

@Ninies - Thank you I bought it from Dischem, I walked around for 30min because no one knew where it was and then a lady told me it is with all the fertility vitamins, they also had another lubricant there but that was about R300 so I would try the conceive plus first. Everything related to falling or trying to fall pregnant is so expensive
