Trying for a 2016 baby

Hi Ladies!

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend

@MrsSmith - Welcome to the group! I hope the Vitex works for you and that you get your BFP easily. Atleast you have peace of mind that the gynae didn't see anything alarming.

@Anzelmama - It sounds like the Big O considering where you are in your cycle. Have you noticed any EWCM? Is it possible to hurt on both sides during the Big O?

@BD88 - Any news yet on AF?

@P4M - When is AF due? You are 12DPO now hey? FX for a BFP!

@MTC - Has everything gone well over the weekend? Did AF stick around? May this be your cycle!

AFM - I don't think we will use our OPK this month, DH isn't comfortable with it so soon and feels like it will put too much pressure on the whole TTC journey this early. I'm happy with his choice so far, will give it two months without using them and then if we still have no BFP then I will bring them out. Hoping for a BFP this month though!! Positive vibes This is a new month ladies and holds so many possibilities for all of us!

Girls, feels like I'm going to die of pain tonight! I'm mid cycle, CD 15, and am experiencing the most excruciating stabbing pains on my left side, close to my ovary. Then it moved to the right side as well. If this is what ovulation feels like, I understand why I've been on the Pill for so long! Cheeze, it hurts!!

This was my second round of Fertomid 100mg, so I'm sure this is ovulation pain. Had a temp dip this morning to 36 degrees. Hoping this month is successful.

Is this pain normal? What can I do about it? Or to make it feel better? It radiates into my lower back. Really sore!

Welcome to our group, Mrs Smith! Hope your TTC journey comes to a sudden end. We all know how it feels to wait for something you really want so bad!!

@Liza - Good luck with the doc.

Hi Ladies

Hope you don't mind if I join?

I'm really hoping for a 2016 baby. Would have preferred a 2015 baby but that's clearly not happening
Been off bc for almost 2 years now - since June/July 2013. I wasn't really surprised nothing happened for the first couple of months as my body needed time to sort all it's hormones out after the bc, but am feeling somewhat confused and disappointed it hasn't happened this past year. there have been quite a number of months where we've really tried, but to no avail.

Went for my pap smear at the gynae last month and mentioned not conceiving yet. He checked everything out with u/s and couldn't see any reason why it hasn't happened. Also discussed my AF's etc. He did suggest clomid but said I must discuss with dh first. We discussed it a bit and are really not keen on the increased chance of multiples. For our current situation (financial etc) multiples would just be really hard. If it happened naturally then so be it, but it's not something we'd like to increase the chances of.

So I'm now trying Vitex. This is my first month on it. Really hoping it works. If after about 3 months on it I'm still not pg I might reconsider the clomid. we'll see.

I'm expecting AF either next weekend or the Tues just after. Holding thumbs it won't appear.

Hi All

Just a quick update.

I've made an appointment with Dr Nel @ Jacaranda he can see me on Tuesday

What question in your opinion is crucial to ask? This is my first time seeing the gynie since were not getting pregnant.

Thanks!

Hi there girls!

Hope everyone is doing good!
Wow I missed out on allot sorry I've been MIA, I have just been focusing on myself these past few days

So I would like to share with you girls my great news!
I bet you all are siting at the edge of your seat by now? We'll you can slide back and sit comfortably again as I just want to share that I lost 1.4KG!!!!!

I know it's not allot but it makes the worlds difference to me as this is only the beginning

AFM:
CD20 10DPO for me today, no AF symptoms yet but I do have sore BB'S so it might be AF
Have not been symptom spotting at all!
Seems like my "diet" is keeping me busy

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday

@Lillyr - Well yes and no, I could have O'ed later. This might be a longer cycle again.

@MTC - I think i will start next Tues as my last cyce was 26 days instead of the usual 28. I will be on CD12 then.
