Trying for a 2016 baby

Hi Ladies

It's been a while! I've scanned threw the posts just to get a bit updated.

I know we said that we would be trying with Fertomid this month for the last time. Well i took the pills but have not been tracking my cycle at all. Think that i will be ovulating within the next 2 days. Just feeling the symptoms so i think i'm on the right track.

One of hubbies clients and also a good friend of ours is a fertility specialist in Centurion. He knows that we are struggling with getting pg. Out of the blue this week he phoned and said that we need to go and see him within the next two weeks. So i can only think that he wants to help us to get that BFP.

Fertomid this month drove me crazy and still does. Its been how many days since my last tablet but i still get hot flushes. How long does these symptoms last?

Hi there Ladies!!

@Jay-Bee - Yeah a crazy career we chose hey! So Glad you seem to have ovulated FX for a sticky egg now!!! This is so your month xx

@Ninies - FX for you also xx Drink lots of water and just do your best with this weight loss journey. You can do it!!

@Hails - I am so sorry to hear about your DH Hopefully the Urologist can renew your hope and give you a plan

I think one thing I am learning from you ladies is that if at 1 year we have not conceived then I will go for a checkup as well as DH, instead of immediately assuming I am the sole problem when in fact he could have some difficulties too.

AFM, CD6 today, I was still suffering from AF cramps this morning which is unusual as they usually only hang around the first two days. Just having a draining week but keeping a smile on my face and embracing life!! Trying not to think about TTC'ing too much and freaking myself out, just taking it easy.

@Jaybee - I work next to the gym so I try to get there as often as possible. I can normally only do 20 - 30 min as I then have to rush to pick my son up from school...such a rush.
But I feel it is better than nothing. I try to eat better, but same as you, cookies and biscuits are my downfall aswell.

Yes Fertomid does make you pick up weight.

Yes the gynae did the IUI procedure in his rooms. Quick and easy and not sore.

@alonzosmum - My gynae did my IUI in his rooms. The cost to him was R 1 000.00 and to the lab would be R 1 000.00 for washing the sperm.
This is in the Pretoria East region.

HELP PLEASE LADIES

Can i have an IUI done at my regular gynae or should i be seeing a fertility specialist ,I already have a child so I know i have no problems in that area ( i hope its been 13yrs) .The only issue is that hubby had a vascetomy abt 10yrs ago ,so we have researched and the cheapest option for our pockets to have another baba right now is an IUI using donor sperm.

Any thoughts would be greatky appreciated.

HELP PLEASE LADIES

@ Ninies, yes one does get in tune with our bodies. It would be super great if you get a BFP this cycle! I am 100% sure that Fertomid makes one gain weight and not happy about it. Have you started your diet/exercise program yet? I am determined to loose a few kg this Winter and seeing that I just love soup might just go on a soup diet
My downfall is biscuits and I can literally live off them.
PS, does a normal Gynae do the IUI or must you go to a hospital?

@ Hails, what do you look for or where do you look for a fertility specialist. After my visit to the Gynae in August I want to move to a fertility specialist and not waste anymore time as I am turning 37 and trying for #1
