Trying for a 2016 baby

Good morning, girls!

How are you all doing? Apologies for being so quiet lately. Apart from us taking a TTC Break, I was also extremely busy at work with marking internal exams (200 Of them), capturing and computing marks, studying for exams, internal moderation and all the other leka things as a teacher.

So, after taking a month's break, AF appeared with a BANG on Saturday morning. I felt the pain on Friday night already, which only got worse on Saturday. Had to take 2 panamor and 2 mybulen just to function. I had to study for my exam yesterday, and couldn't deal with the pain. Then, halfway through the day, my period stopped. Another weird thing... Pain continued for a few days. Last night, on CD 3, I had creamy CM, and I still have sore and tender boobies. Now I don't really know what to do.

I'm thinking of starting my third round of Fertomid tomorrow... What you gals think?

I've made an appointment with a fertility specialist in Port Elizabeth, seeing that we've been trying now for more than a year, with no success. He is apparently very good and has a high success rate. He specializes in Fertility, but he's very expensive. I have to put down R1430 before he sees me, which I can claim back from the medical aid. I actually want to call him again to find out which tests he wants us to do before hand, so that he has a full picture of what is going on. We won't be able to go for a follow-up visit, as we stay in Upington and we will only be in PE for a week visiting family and friends.

For the excruciating pain I'm experiencing, including lower back pain and uterin cramping, headaches and boob tenderness, still after my Period has ended, I'm thinking of going to my own gynae here in Upn? Any suggestions?? I can't deal with another painful AF like this in three weeks time. I'll die!!!

Hope the rest of you are still good. Welcome to all the new ladies. Hope your stay here is short and sweet.

@Chanti - Good luck for your exam! Hoping AF stays away. You sound positive and upbeat.. so refreshing to hear.

@anney001 - The more the merrier
Sending you loads of baby dust and hope your stay is short on the ttc group.

hi ladies I am new to the blog, been trying for baby for the past 3years....recently diagnosed with PCOS told to loose weight ....yah like its that easy ...I joined because its refreshing to be able to share my story and my struggles with like minded individuals....

Hi there LAdies!!

Hectic this side as I am writing an exam on Wednesday and been finishing things off at work.

@Carien, Nikita and Jay-Bee, Sorry AF arrived, fresh hope for this new cycle!!

@Dej - Welcome and i hope your stay is a short one.

Okay so a general follow up, ladies dont be disheartened by the OPKs, we have clearly all struggled with getting a lovely positive. Ladies moving into next round of Fertomid, I hope this is the one!!! Much love to you all!!

AFM, 11DPO today, Took a HPT on 10DPO and today and a bit fat negative, Hubby very diheartened but its not over until the fat lady sings!! Spotting should start Thurs/Fri and full AF on Saturday so will patiently wait now until a missed AF or AF to arrive...

Lots of love to all of you beautiful women!

Dej177 - Welcome! If AF is back to normal, then you are good to go!

Mrs Smith - I can imagine how demotivating neg opk's can be. Hopefully you get one tomorrow.. but I'd trust ewcm before an opk. Keep BDing!!


I have nothing to report.. Still in 2 minds about going ahead or waiting another cycle or 2. Meh.

Yes Jay-Bee01, I am charting my cycles. Periods last 5 days, this month it went on for 3 days.
