Good luck for testing tomorrow BD! I'm really feeling very hopeful for you. Well done waiting another day! It's always so very hard to wait, but the longer you wait the more accurate the results.

Jay-Bee and AnzelMama - sorry you've both found out good friends are pregnant, and unexpectedly / unwantedly (is that a word?). It really is hard when you try so so hard and want it so very desperately and other people get what you dream of and don't even try.
AnzelMama - wow, 2 sets of twins is crazy!
Jay-Bee - we'll miss you around here but I definitely understand the need to take a break to maintain your sanity. Big hugs xx

AFM - I very nearly jumped out of bed to test this morning. When I wake up with a full bladder all I can think of it poas LoL. But I refrained. Really trying to wait until Sunday as I only have the one test in the house and don't really want to buy more until payday. So I want an accurate result.
Been feeling a bit rundown yesterday and a bit this morning too, with sore throat. Could be due to lack of sleep though, and the cold weather. Been drinking lemon water and gargling with salt water which seems to be helping a bit.

Hi girls

@Jay-bee - I know exactly how you feel. My best friend in the whole world found out a few weeks back that she's pregnant. By mistake, I must add. They are actually on their way out of SA to Abu Dabi. Yesterday afternoon, she sent me a picture of her first Sonar - Twins!! I'm very depressed. All I'm asking for is one baby. And she gets her second set of twins. The first set is identical - 3yo boys. Now she's expecting fraternal twins... And you know what's worse? She and her hubby BD'ed once that whole month when she fell pregnant. ONCE, I tell you!! And I am BD'ing my arse off for almost a week in a row, and nothing. I'm quite pissed off, as you can hear. Not because she's pregnant or expecting twins - She's my friend and I'm so happy for her - But because it hasn't happened for us yet.

At this stage, I'm on 5 DPO, with very weird symptoms. Experienced some form of nausea last night, which is strange. Moreso, the twinges and cramps and backache and headache and boob tenderness is still there. My boobs are spilling out of my bra!! It is so frustrating! I am surrounded by all these symptoms - My heart wants to hope, but my head keeps on giving me a reality check - It's just the meds talking!

Oh dear. I know how you feel. We have to stick together, hey? Are you on FB by any chance??

@BD - Holding thumbs for you, hun! We need a few BFP's soon! For all of our sanity!

Morning Ladies!

@BD - FX crossed that you get a BFP and not AF :) Thankfully it is Friday and the madness will soon be over!

@Jay-Bee - Hun i'm so sorry that you have this added pressure on you. I am also going crazy trying to figure out if the Big O has arrived or not and I honestly don't know. I measured my BBT this morning for the first time ever out of interests sake and it was sitting on 36.2! It seems oddly low to me... Just hope I have ovulated and have tried my best to catch that eggy. Don't stress yourself out, you have done your best and your time will come. There is a reason for everything that happens in this world and perhaps the reason for your friend falling pregnant is to get her to slow down and start living life properly instead of wasting away. Big hugs to you :heart:

Hi Ladies

Thank goodness its Friday!

This is another pregnancy story :dry:
I have a good friend of many years and we used to go out partying a lot, but then I got married and she still goes out dancing and having fun. Well I have not seen her or barely spoken to her since end of November and whenever I invite her over she always has excuses to cancel. I thought that it is the new man in her life that she met in December.

So I called her last night to to find out what is going on and she burst into tears telling me she is 12 weeks pregnant!! I was speechless, she is not happy and doesn't want anyone to know. She was to upset to talk and said she will call me the weekend. :(

I don't know how to feel but I told my husband that I am very upset as we have been trying so long and its unfair that she can fall pregnant without even wanting too :( My hubby said to me that I must not walk someones else path but I have my own path to walk and thinks will work out. :heart:

Also I am reading into every little symptom I am experiencing and pulling my hair out trying to pin point exact ovulation in order to calculate my tww length etc. My hubby says I am getting so worked up and stressed and now with my friend falling pregnant it has all been too much.

So I have decided to take a week or two off from my ttc madness and going to keep myself busy with other things instead. :silly:

I will pop in now and again to see how all you are doing and hopefully I can see some BFP soon :heart: :rock:

* TTC baby #1 for 1.5 years
(tried naturally for 1 year - anovulatory cycles)
(medicated Fertomid cycles for 5 months)
BFP - 1 Sept 2015 - un medicated cycle
TTC baby #2 - October 2017

TTC baby #3 in 2021

Morning ladies!!

Yiippppeeee - Its Friday! :laugh:

@Mrs S - I was really tempted to test this morning but I've decided to give it one more day..... :pinch: The reason I stopped Vitex was due to my Gynae appointment in March. I wanted to see how bad it really was without Vitex. I regret not continuing to take it but hey nothing I can do now. If AF starts I will take Vitex again. So how are you feeling this morning?

@ninies - OMG no, that is insane hun! I think wait a few days, see what happens and maybe test again hun. Must be so confusing hey.

@Liza - That is fantastic hun!!! Wish you all the best with your new cycle!! FX for you! xx

@MTC - Are you feeling better hun?

@P4M1 - How are you feeling today?

@Lillyr - Thanks sweety! I appreciate! I'm starting to feel very hopeful too. FX!!

CD36 - still have some cramping, creamy cm - feels like AF -, BBS are a bit bigger and a little sore, backaches have stopped, fatigue, still bloated, having cravings and my skin looks so good. This is officially my longest cycle. I'm gonna test again tomorrow. Lets just see what happens today.

TGIF!! Have a great day ladies!! Lots of baby dust to everyone! xxx :heart:

Shame ninies, that sounds super frustrating. It's awful when our bodies play tricks on us.

Liza - really glad the results are all negative. Good luck for this month!
