Trying for a 2016 baby

Hi, ladies

@Lush - Congrats with the pregnancy, honey! May you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

@EmJ16 - Welcome from my side as well. It doesn't matter how long you have been TTC. Some of us has been TTC for years. I, for one, have been struggling to conceive for 20 months. I know how hard it is to hear about all my friends getting pregnant by accident, or with their second set of twins, etc. It is frustrating and makes one feel hopeless. Yet we continue to support each other on this journey. I really hope you get your BFP soon! Holding thumbs and sending loads of baby dust your way!

@Jooste and @Chanti - How are you doing? Where are you in your cycle?

@Nikita, how are you, honey!? You have been awfully quiet. Hope you are doing ok.

AFM - I am on CD 9 today, heading into my fertile window. We are following the SMEP plan this month (Sperm meets egg plan), which means that we BD every other day starting at CD 8, and once a positive OPK's has been found, we BD three days straight, take a break, than one more time, just in case. We actually started to BD on CD 6, so I'm holding thumbs. The side effects of the Fertomid this month was horrible - Had terrible hot flushes and headaches - So glad it's over. I'm sure that's a sign that the meds are working? I am also using Inofolic and Fertivor. Fertivor has increased my CM drastically. This is very important, especially when you use clomid, as clomid has the tendency to thin the endometrial lining. I am not taking any chances! LOL! We also have one tube conceive plus left. We will use that on the day we get the positive OPK. Really hoping that this is our month. If not, we try again next month.

Hi everyone!

Lush - big congrats!!! Hope you'll come to update us after you get the results of your blood test!

How's everyone else doing & what are your next plans/goals/things that has to happen?

Most of you have been trying for a bit or have other kiddies & trying again now - we are quite new to ttc considering this is only our 3rd month and I don't think we made a big enough effort the previous 2 - but let me tell you - I am sooo surprised at how tricky all this is and how it really doesn't just happen overnight - as many people, including me, seem to think until you start trying.

A friend of ours fell pregnant without trying, and I told my husband she's lucky even though she probably doesn't know it no worries about opk's cd-this or bfp-that - happened and its at a good time in their lives so they enjoying it.

We BD'ed more this time around but think because all this happened over the big family holidays - we probably didn't BD as much as we should - but I'm hoping we covered all bases!

I didn't use OPK's this cycle - so might BD one or 2 more times just in case for some odd reason I O very late this time.

And if this month doesn't work - along with exercise and healthier eating habits - I think we should just freaken BD every second night for the whole next cycle (except during AF) and give that a shot lol!

Let me tell you... being broody, ttc and having a job that involves working with babies is not a wonderful combination!

Look forward to hearing what everyone else is up to!

CONGRats!!! What a wonderful way to start the new year!!!!
(I doubt if it could be a false positive - you did not use Ovidrell or Pregnyl or any equivalent (I assume - as it was a FET and not a fresh IVF cycle). Those injections can give false positives if they are not completely out of your system before you start testing.

SO U ARE VERY much pregnant!!!
So exciting!!!

@Lush - that's so amazing!! I doubt it a false positive.... I think u are very much pregnant Congrats hun!!! Do u mind me asking which clinic u used?

Compliments to you all ladies,
Had my FET on the 22nd Dec and my 2ww ends tomorrow,
Was very enxious and tested today,
The result is positive and indicates that it's 2-3 weeks.
Still very anxious because my blood tests are on Monday 4th Jan
Could this be a false test,

@jooste - fingers and toes are crossed. Have faith that it can happen!

We will be trying naturally for 2 cycles only. Then move on to 2 cycles of Femara and then go back to IVF. I'm turning 39yrs in March and we would like to concieve before June next year.
