Trying for a 2016 baby

Just had our first cup of green tea. I must say, I actually thoroughly enjoyed it! It's the Vital brand. I added some honey and a squeeze of lemon as suggested on the box, and brewed for maybe 2 min (didn't time it but it wasn't all that long). Dh on the other hand didn't like it much. Said next time more honey and no lemon. I enjoy rooibos with honey and lemon and this was kind of similar.

The folic acid is necessary (though I would strongly recommend a natural one where it's in it's natural folate form), but the rest only becomes necessary once you reach second trimester in my opinion (and my gynae's opinion).

Hi

I was on fertomid last year when i did my AI procedure and after that i was too sad to start anything again untill my cousin married 10 years did an IVF procedure at Tygerburg and her son is now 8 months That gave me hope again , My doc suggested i start taking pre natal vitamins bt im not sure if its neccesary?

Hi Ladies,

@Mrs Smith - I love your attitude this month, even I feel excited for you after reading your post it is good to post it here, I think everybody can feel the positivity. I like the Lipton Green Tea, have not had it in a while, maybe I should start again. I try and limit my coffee and I am now down to one cup a day. I also have lots of tea at work. I bought Bourbon Vanilla Tea (organic rooibos with vanilla) leaves in December and it is absolutely amazing.

Welcome to all the new ladies.

I spoke to DH last night and he said that I should make an appointment so that we can get everything sorted out. I will call the doc on Monday to make an appointment.

AF is around the corner, I think she is going to be very mean this month I think she needs a holiday.

GL with the ladies testing this weekend and for the ladies in their TTW
Lots and Lots of Baby Dust to you all

@Ninies, thank you hun! Hope AF doesn't make you miserable this weekend

@Mrs Smith I admire your optimism, and good spirits! It'll definitely work in your favor (and a half a cup of green tea)

@ Mrs Smith, I have also only heard good things about green tea and it helps with weight loss as well. Going to have a look at Checkers over the weekend

@Smart 2 - Thank you hun. Yeah I try and look at it as not the end of the world but merely the end of another cycle...
Creamy CM is a good sign. Holding thumbs for you!

@Afataar - welcome and hope your time here is short.

I think I will stay on my Fertomid 50mg this month. And see if the doc is back by the time I get to CD13 so we can do the mid cycle scan and see what the folicles looks like. Well that is how I feel now, but I am also very tempted to up the dose myself because I am so impatient.

Girls you must all have a wonderful weekend and for all of you gearing up to O, bd your heart away. Those in the TWW - stay patient and enjoy the journey....
