Hi Ladies

Welcome Jillian :) Yes folic acid does cause us to go a bit wonky sometimes! Maybe try a different brand?

@Nikita how was the dentist? Hope everything is in order? Holding thumbs for the TWW.
@Ayesha also LOVE my MIL. Its great when they love you like their own child :)
@Anzel hope you have an awesome Holiday!

I have no idea where I am right now. Last month round about 28th I had EWCM, but this month i didnt have any. So i dont think i ovulated. One more month till I can go see a gynae about this no period business!


Baby dust to all!

Hi, ladies

Apologies for being so quiet the last few days. I have been hectically busy, still am. Just wanted to pop in and say hi!

I am on CD 10, gearing up for ovulation by Friday - Let's hold thumbs. And then the dreaded TWW starts - At least I have something to look forward to - The day AF is due, is the day we leave on Holiday - Not looking forward to Af starting, looking forward to our holiday at the beach. :woohoo: :woohoo:

Hope you are all still ok - I will come back on here tonight to answer/respond to each one of you individually. Take care!

@jillian - it might be side effects from the tablets. You should Google it, I had some funky side effects from folic acid that the doctor prescribed for me. Now I am only using clicks brand folic acid. Is Df using anything? If not maybe he should consider using something staminogro

AFM - Going to the dentist today so not in the mood lol. I am about 5DPO today

Hope everyone is okay

Hello ladies,

Firstly thank heavens for a South African board... Im new here thou... Hope ill be meeting lots new friends here ;)

Ok so just a little about myself and my life..
I am a 25 year old who has been TTC for my First for 2 years with 2 early MC's. Myself and my Fiance have been together for 7 years, 8 in march.. so we feel its about time...
Well after my second MC my doc had some blood tests done and everything came back normal. So basically they do not know why i miscarried. Ive taken folic acid and 3 months ago started taking Pregnacare Conception. and well, i think that pills made my cycle late.. This cycle my AF was 8 days late which for me is not normal as both myself and my fiance know my cycle and im always regular but this month when my AF arrived it came with a bunch of weird symptoms .

Well basically i would just like know is it normal to have terrible heart burn, nausea and hot flushes on the last day of your period?? as this is what i am currently experiencing and this has never happened to me before...

Thanking you in advance. :)

Me-27 - PROUDLY A SINGLE MOMMA

This forum is so wonderful! It feels so good to be going through the process with people that actually know what its all about. No one will truly understand what we are going through unless they have been there themselves!

A big thank you to all of you ladies and baby dust to all of you on the rest of your journey!

I am basically just waiting to see if i am going to get EWCM again this month. Last month i got it around the 28th, I am not sure if EWCM happens before or after ovulation. So this week I have been BDing every 2nd day and then will continue to do so for a week after the EWCM, just to cover my all the bases.

Hi Ladies,

@Chanti -Keep peace and faith in your heart and if you need help or even just people to listen, you know that we are here :heart: We each have our own path to walk and sometimes it is really not easy, but like Dory in Finding Nemo would say: "When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming " But sometimes that is damn hard. We are here for you :heart:

@Ayesha - it is good that you have an understanding MIL. It is sad when your own mother doesn't really support you. I was actually pissed at my mom, I told her that my one friend truly doesn't understand and she keeps on asking how we are doing and when I tell her she is like "in God's time" and "You should relax" and "Don't worry" and there is more. So my mom turns around and say that that I shouldn't even discuss this issue with anyone because it is non of their business, and she cant understand how people will go through so much just to have a baby and spend their money and energy on ttc. She is my foster mom and does not have or want children of her own. Needless to say we had a few issues in my youth, and we still do. I love her to bits, but damn sometimes I loose my cool lol :whistle:

@Anzel - so sorry that the beach is back :( we all dislike her here. Have you tried acupuncture? I think someone told me about it or I read about it, cant remember. And the lady said that that helped them conceive. Might be worth the shot.

AFM - CD14 got an +OPK on CD11 bottom line was same colour as top line, so I was happy lol
I am tired, or more like exhausted at this stage, think it might be due to clomid not sure though, I also get sharp pains in my nipples and I am damn gassy and moody, one minute I am so happy and the next I am so terribly pissed - I blame clomid

Sorry for all my bad language today :blush: :blush: :blush:
