Trying for a 2016 baby

Ooooh that kind of testing Chanti! Ummm i think it possible - but i think its quite rare.

Hi Ladies,

@Anzel - That sounds like a perfect date night, and the best way to talk things over. Maybe consult your doctor and ask him if he can prescribe you with a higher dosage.

@Chanti - I really don't like waiting for results, and they know that it drives people nuts and can also be worrisome, but I don't think they care, and you are right, you are investing a lot of money into this, so the least they can do is be quick with results.

@Jooste - have you gone for bloods yet???

AFM - CD18 - 6DPO my inner thigh muscles still hurt and my butt muscles sounds bad I know, but we literally didn't do any BD and didn't do any exercise. I even asked DH if I fell of the bed...lol It is bad
Really don't have much hope for this cycle seeing as we only BD'ed twice (DH is still sick and he is scared that he gives it to me) I would however be very happy if I can get a BFP this cycle

Praying hard for our group so that we all may get BFP soon

@Sugar - Oh ok so I wasn't too confused. Can you not fall preggers before having that first AF is what I was maybe thinking??

@Chanti no i havent gotten it yet. This is week 4 of being off Micorval so I am hoping its coming soon.
Like i said i had a day of EWCM which i am hoping was my O day and then have been getting Creamy CM since then. Had what i thought was the start of thrush for two days (4po and 5dpo) but its cleared up. I googled and they said that can be a sign on impending periods due to hormones. slightly sensitive boobs now at possibly 8dpo, so it feels like AF should be on the way. Of course this all speculation until AF actually arrives. But here's hoping!

@Sugar - I think I'm getting confused, have you had your first AF yet?

@Anzel - I'm so glad you both feel better about everything! Still no news on my blood tests, will leave it now and if I don't hear from them then I may consider moving clinics as I need to feel valued and treasured by them especially when investing so much. I have become very hard on Doctor's as they generally just treat you all the same and use check boxes to treat your symptoms.

Congrats Jooste! Soooo excited for you! Please let us know how the blood test goes! wishing for a sticky bean!

@chanti you think i should use an OPK? I thought it only works before ovulation? I am 8dpo i think. boobs a little tender still got creamyy CM, so looks good for AF still

HI, ladies

How have you been?

Hubby and I had a date night last night - I prepared three course candle lit dinner with soft music and sparkling wine. Just wanted an opportunity to talk things out without anybody having to rush anywhere. So we talked things out. Seems like hubby's view on children is influenced by his fear that he will not be able to provide for the child and me financially. He feels that having children will put pressure on us financially and it is driving him nuts. He has decided, however, to give it until the end of the year. If nothing has happened by then, then we will let it go. So that means I won't go on contraception yet.

Quick question - If my body didn't respond to 100mg clomid (I'm on CD 14 today and still no +OPK - I usually get a positive OPK round about day 12/13, still nothing. Does this mean that I should ask the doc to increase my dosage? Your views?

Hubby brought be flowers last night! And he booked us into a fancy guesthouse for the weekend. Something to look forward to, especially the alone time together. Think we need it.

@Jooste! Whohoooo! Please let us know what the bood results say! I'm so excited for you!

@P4M - So sorry that you have to go through this. We are here for you. Like sisters.

@Chanti - Please keep us posted as to your blood test results! Holding thumbs! We have considered IVF, however, the cost implication is making hubby nervous. As I have an obsession with babies, he has an obsession with being financially secure. He would rather use that money to improve something about our home, than spend it on a procedure with very little guarantees. He would, however, consider IUI. It's not that expensive. We have decided that if nothing happens by December, we will try an IUI cycle, and then see what happens. He can be very difficult sometimes, being German. He is stubborn and narrowminded, keeps on focusing on the current situation without looking at the bigger picture. I love him to bits, although I am not blind to his mistakes. I, on the other hand, is an optimist by nature, and it drives him absolutely nuts. LOL!

@EMJ - I was on the low carb diet and then the egg diet. I try and avoid sugary foods and carbs where I can, but still eat fruits and yogurts and that type of stuff. If you want to, pop me a PM with your email address, and I'll share the diet with you. It really works, hey. And you'll see results soon! Good luck to you! It's really hard, but it's worth it.

@Sugar - Excited that you are also now part of the game. Enjoy! And good luck! May you get your bfp soon!

@Nikita - How are you doing? Holding thumbs for this cycle!!
