Trying for a 2016 baby

@Anzel- It is definitely easier said than done! A part of me is glad that I know we can't conceive on our own because atleast I dont have to suffer through AF and the TWW anymore My friend was mortified when I made a joke of my blocked tubes and said well atleast we never have to use birth control again I am so terribly excited for u and I just have this feeling that your little miracle is closer than you think! How are u and hubby doing? Have things settled since your chat?

Good morning, ladies

How are you all doing?

@Nikita, I am 10dpo on CD 25 today - AF supposed to arrive by CD 28/29, so we'll have to wait and see! Strongs with the Clomid - It tends to make us feel very icky! I actually tested last night, 9DPO - Obviously negative! Don't know what I expected. I am lying. I know what I was expected. I was expected a very very faint glimmer of hope of a line... And then nothing... This is what happens if you have about 10 hcg test strips lying around... I will now wait till Friday before I test again - Friday would be CD 28, 13DPO... If it is still negative, I'll wait till next week to test again.

@Chanti - This TWW has be going insane. I'm trying not to think about it or worry about it, but it is easier said than done. Eish! Wish I would just the positive test so I can relax already!

@Nikita - Thanks hun, I'm really hoping this Visanne does the trick. We are hoping to start IVF in June but will see if we can save enough by then! Argh I hope ur side effects aren't too terrible this month! Make sure to keep yourself well hydrated!

@Anzel - It looks like this TWW is driving you crazy!! It's almost over, hang in there!!! This could be it!

@Emj - I remember I was terrified for my first app. Don't be scared they are very professional and make you feel comfortable. If there is anything that is really bugging you be very firm with your doc and let them know how u feel. Nobody knows your body better than you do and you deserve to be taken seriously. Let us know how it goes!

@Sugar - Wow u must be feeling so frustrated right now!!! Hopefully AF arrives soon. Allow your body to settle though and get balance itself out.

AFM, not much knew, been thinking about how many embryos we would want to transfer if we were blessed enough to have more than one. This whole IVF thing is so scary because you could go through all of this and come out on the otherside without a single Embryo. I am putting all my trust in God with this!

Hi ladies

@Anzel when will you test?
@Emj16 goodluck with your appointment today
@Sugar thank you
@Chanting how are you? When do you and DH plan to do the IVF?

AFM- CD4 - got hotflushes yesterday lol and have a headache today. But I believe that those tiny pills will assist me this cycle. All that we have is faith

Hi, ladies

I have such a cold, it sucks. Then I'm feeling cold, then I have hot flashes burning up my cheeks! It's crazy! Hate being sing in the middle of summer! Apart from that, no symptoms yet. Apart from loads of creamy, milky CM ( , and very tender nipples, I have nothing else to report. Strange that my boobs don't hurt this month. Last month straight after ovulation, my boobs starting aching like crazy. At this stage, I'm a few days before AF and my boobies feel fine. Apart from overly sensitive nips, my boobies don't hurt at all. Also battled with lower backache at work today. Bleh! Just feel like a croc today - Everything hurts.

@Emj - I actually dreamt that I took a pregnancy test and it showed positive. I took another one just to make sure, and it was positive again. Then I decided to hide it form hubby to plan his suprise reveal. And then I accidentally dropped one in water, spoiling the result. And then I lost the other one. Weird. I wonder how it will feel like being pregnant. I mean, physically. I have never been pregnant before, so this will be completely new to me. I hope our turn will come soon. Look forward to cuddling our own baby. Good luck with the Gynae visit tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fine. You are in my prayers.

@Sugar - I'm also hoping AF stays away, but I don't want to get my hopes up like last cycle. I feel different this cycle, which is strange in itself. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. Holding thumbs for you, though. It aint over till AF arrives... Here's to AF staying away!!

Hi ladies!

@Chanti - hope the Visanne (spelling?) kicks in soon and makes a big change!

@Sugar & Spice - gosh these waiting periods suck hey - ttc is honestly one big fat waiting game!

@Anzel - I'm too afraid to ask what you're dreaming about lol - holding thumbs and toes and everything else I can for you!

@Nikita - good luck for this cycle! I know zero about all the meds - what type of symptoms/effects do clomid give you?


AFM - I was mentally prepared to get an appointment with the FS for next week, but when I phoned she told me there was a cancellation and they have a opening for tomorrow. I have to confess something through (which I feel SUPER embarrassed about) - I've never been to a gynaecologist! So this appointment which will obviously be all up in my personal space, is so stressful and I'm nervous beyond belief. I never get sick and except for a few mind cramps I've never had AF issues - so never went for gynaecology check-ups - terrible I know! So say a little prayer for me please lol tomorrow will be one big adventure for me, for sure!

Hi Ladies
Trust you all had a great weekend.

@chanti Good luck with the saving. Remember every little bit helps and it all be worth it!
@nikita goodluck!
@anzel heres hoping AF stays away!

I havent gotten my period this weekend. I was so sure that I had ovulated tested last on the 13dpo with a clicks early detection HPT and got a BFN.

Woke up with a big dry patch on my butt on Saturday! My skin has gone crazy! I assume this is all hormones trying to balance itself! Also have some painful carpel tunnel in my right wrist. I am 18dpo and not gonna test again as I have literally no symptoms! Will wait to see what happens!
