Trying for a 2016 baby

@Anzel i am so sorry! That really sucks! sending baby dust your way for this cycle. Hope AF stays away and you have a wonderful holiday! what a treat that would be after all your hardwork!

Hi, ladies

Hope you had a good Monday and that your week started off well.

CD 2 for me today. AF showed Saturday night with light spotting, leading to full flow on Sunday. It hurt like hell this month. I could feel both ovaries aching as I walked... It was ouch! But it's over now. I still have spotting, but after two full days of flow, AF is starting to say goodbye. I am so blessed with a short period! Anyway, after another meltdown on Saturday night, I took a few days to recover. I am ready again for another cycle. I will be picking up my prescription of Fertomid tomorrow and start another round (third round) of the meds tomorrow night. Hoping this cycle will be the one! Keeping my fingers crossed.

I am actually quite annoyed. My next period is due on the day we leave for our holiday at the beach. Urghh... Here's to hoping AF stays away after this cycle.

@Anzel I can only imagine how you feeling. Still keeping fingers and toes crossed.

@EmJ I have already contacted my gynae, he is only willing to assist until at least 3 months off the pill. He said some women just take longer for their hormones to settle down. So I am forced to wait this for another month

Started having noticeable CM again, basically just keeping record of it, in case Gynae needs to know. If i see EWCM i am going to make sure we BD, just in case. Does anyone know what the deal is with EWCM? Some articles say it happens before "O" others say after. So confusing.

Hi, ladies

Just a quick update. I am 14dpo today, CD29, and still no sign of AF. No cramping, no backache, no headache. Boobs still hurt and I'm moody as hell. Last night, hubby and I had a major fall out. We were busy putting wall tattoo's in our living room (Its vinyl stickers in silver - We have various scriptures to put up all over our home). He was impatient and then ripped some of the letters of the sticker in half. I completely lost it. I don't understand why I am so impatient and intolerant the last few days. After the bad AF cramps and backache I had on Thursday night, nothing else. Would that possibly be similar to implantation? It would have been on 12dpo, which is the outer limit of implantation happening?

Anyhow, tested again this morning, BFN. I'm tired of this shi*t. Testing almost everyday, getting BFN, AF not showing up, giving false hope. I hate this. Why can't it be AF or BFP already? Why drag it out, stupid body! I'm so annoyed!

Anzel - I'm glad AF hasn't showed yet! It screws with ones head though I have 26-29 day cycles always around there - and then in one of the months we were trying mine went to 32 and then she showed her evil face. Glad you're feeling a bit better meltdown wise, but hey - we all have those

Sugar n Spice - any plans to see the doc or gynae soon to maybe get a check-up?

I phoned pathcare with the codes that the FS marked on my piece of paper for the tests in March and the total they gave me was just under 1000 - so hopefully they didn't make a mistake lol.

Those whose husband's had semen analysis done - how long did you wait for the result? I was so happy with the FS - and now I'm a bit upset. She told me by Thursday she will email me the results and if its bad, we will set up an appointment. I heard nothing from her - I phoned yesterday and asked the receptionist to remind the dr about me - nothing. Phone this afternoon she's not in but they will make sure she mails me when she gets in - still nothing. We need to BD tonight and couple more times now - but we are both annoyed and frustrated because we thought by now we'll know the results and be sure if we have a chance or if something is wrong. It's just not nice that the FS isn't updating us - even a mail to tell me the lab has issues or whatever would have been great. And we chose a very popular clinic with a good reputation in the hope of getting that extra bit of care. Clearly not the case.

Anyone have anything nice going on this weekend?

HI, ladies

How are you all doing?

After my emotional meltdown on Wednesday night, I feel much better today. I am 13dpo, CD28, and still no AF. Had very sore AF type cramps and lower back ache last night - SO bad I though AF would be here in the morning. Still nothing. Just this icky, yellowy, white, creamy CM type stuff. I also have this dull headache since last night - Nothing major, just noticeable. Another painful experience is my boobs. The throb and ache over the boobs into my chest. Not crampy or poky kind of sore, just throbbing ache that prevents me from hugging hubby at full capacity. LOL! I hope you understand that last one. Apart from the emotional breakdown of Wednesday night, I have no other moodiness or emotional outbreaks as yet. Just very impatient for AF to arrive. I emailed my Gynae for a repeat prescription for Fertomid, but on a higher dose. He refused - he gave me a prescription for the same dose as last month, and now he wants to see me on the 11th - Before he will consider giving me a higher dose. At least I wont miss out on a medicated cycle - I have a prescription, so as soon as AF arrives, I'll go and fetch it from the pharmacy. This TWW is hell, I tell you. I've never had it so bad. My cycles is normally 27 days long - I am already on day 28, with no sign of AF, apart from the very sore cramping and backache of last night, which since has disappeared. Weird!! Off course I tested again this morning - BFN.

Anyway!

@EmJ - Af was supposed to show today, but up and till now, still nothing. We'll have to wait and see.

@Nikita - Good luck with the BD'ing lying ahead. It can be exhausting. Are you going to use OPK's? That's the only way I can determine ovulation day on Clomid. Good luck! I actually bought a pack of single pregnancy test sticks - Not the big ones we buy at Clicks - it's like a strip of paper. I wonder how accurate these stuff are?? I dunno!?

@Sugar - 22DPO?!? I'll die! I'm already going crazy on 13dpo!! You should maybe do a bloodtest just to make sure? Or ask gynae for a scan to check? Something doesn't seem right there!! Joh! 22DPO - I'll really go mad if I had to wait that long and still get no answers... Strongs, girl! Thinking of you!

Hi Everyone

Sorry I've been quiet for a while. Just so over not understanding my body!

@Jooste I am so sorry! I know that no amount of words will be able to soothe you little heart, but know that I am thinking of you.

@anzel its not over the till AF has arrived, crossing all fingers and toes.

@emj goodluck with the results and new tests! I

@nikita Holding thumbs!

I am 22DPO. Tested negative at 19DPO. This was all just a guestimate so I know i shouldnt be dissapointed. I have been calculating as day of "O" being the day i saw EWCM, but that could possibly be incorrect.
Still no period in sight. So i obviously didnt ovulate. No idea what my next step is . . .
