@ Carien: StaminoGro is a multi vitamin. My GP put me on it because I am constantly getting sick with flu! :sick: My other GP friend told me that if you want to get preggies quickly, take Stamino Gro. I've read alot of conflicting reviews where some people claim it does help whereas, other people didn't really notice a difference. I guess that goes for anything really - for some it will work and for others not. I take 4 capsules in the evenings as my immune system has been so run down lately. Hubby takes 2 capsules in the evenings (that's an effort in itself since he dislikes taking any pills).

Haha Carien - I've calculated the due date, keep thinking about where i'll be and when i'll go into labour, how i'll get to the hospital, who will be with me, how quick the labour will go, etc etc etc. My mind gets a bit overly carried away!
I get so focused on the due date that last month i was convinced it was December and I kept wanting to talk about "next year" because i keep living in the month the baby will be born :blush:

Thanks @Mrs Smith, will go try to get some, there is a health food store right next to the dischem I am going to so that works :)

Keep up with your happy thoughts, remember this is our cycle!! I mean don't just count on your happy thoughts of course, but it seems like you and DH have that part covered :) hoping for your positive OPK today, I also had a guessing game of when I would get a positive 2 cycles ago, and have decided I am also going to indulge and get the CBD ones again, used them with my son and that worked, so I decided its going to work this time around too!! I'm really all about the happy thoughts!!

I find myself already calculating when the due date would be...I know how silly that is, but I really just cant help it!!

Good luck to everyone

Carien - Dischem does apparently sell vitex. As do most health shops. It goes by various names: Vitex / Agnus Castus / Chasteberry. I use the Chasteberry extract by Phytoforce, and I think some of the other ladies on here use Agnus Castus Pills by someone else LoL (can't remember who produces them).

AnzelMama - that pain sounds a bit worrying. Before starting another round of fertomid i would definitely do an hpt just to rule out pg. And if it's positive get in for a scan asap in case it's ectopic (which could be causing the pain). Some people do continue to bleed with pregnancy, and I've had a friend who had 2 ectopics and both times she got her period as per normal, followed by extreme pain. So ya, first do hpt, then yes, I would recommend seeing your gynae as something doesn't sound quite right.

Welcome Anney - I hope you get your bfp soon!

AFM - CD 13 today and really hoping today is the day i finally get my positive opk. I feel a little more positive about it all again today. My son woke me at 2:50am last night (couldn't find his soft toy), and when I got back into bed I suddenly felt slight wet down there (sorry, tmi! :tmi: ). Got all excited that maybe i finally got my ewm, and maybe it was my surge starting! So I woke dh so we could bd as we'd missed my planned session the night before (about 4 hours before LoL). Needless to say he's a bit groggy this morning LoL! :silly:
But now I'm excited again and really hoping I didn't just imagine it all in my foggy middle of the night state. there was no way I was going to risk missing it though! So curious to see if today's opk complies or not. CM has pretty much dried up again. Not sure if it's an age thing or a hormonal thing but i definitely don't get as much as I used to, and when it does come it's like in random blobs every couple of hours, not a continual thing, so hard to say whether it's there or not. I did read though that it's possible to have ewm but not notice it as sometimes it just stays high up in the cervix so that's what i'm hoping is the case for me.

And does anybody know anything about Staminogrow? Read about that one too, just thought I'd ask...

Morning ladies,

Hope everyone is well :)

So I want to go get some of that vitex today, does dischem sell it? And is it with the pregnancy vitamins or somewhere else?

Morning Ladies :)

@Mrs Smith: Hoping you get that positive opk today! Just keep bd'ing so you cannot miss that eggy!

@ Chanti: Holding thumbs for your BFP :)

@ Anney: Welcome :) Hope your stay is short and sweet!

AFM, I'm 6 DPO - so nothing much happening. Have had some tender BB's since 3 days ago but other than that, nothing much.
