Trying for a 2016 baby

Hi ladies!

Hope everyone is doing well - silly season on my side work wise so happily joining the circus with you!

I need some advice - Jooste I know you mentioned some supplements in a previous post - will definitely look into those.

So this was our 2nd month ttc - unless it was spotting that goes away (which I doubt because this is how AF starts for me) then I think AF is here - which means this month didn't work.

I really think we BD'ed too little - I was still getting used to the ovulation thing - so normally we haven't even gotten to the BD part when I'd get a positive opk - so BD only basically happpened the day of positive opk and 2 days after - but I'm thinking unless something else is wrong, which is also totally possible, the first thing to work on now would probably be more BD as between the positive opk and my body - we might be missing ovulation. So will correct that as best we can - cover all bases Got a thermometer so will see how that goes combined with opk.

I also bought Preseed so use this time around.

I was wondering what else you'd recommend? I have been drinking Folic Acid Forte - I've seen so many posts about supplements and things. I realise most couples try for a while but would at least like to incorporate things that might help now rather than wait and end up needing them at a later stage anyway.

Any tips, tricks, advice welcome Thank you!

I am ready to go and work for the circus, anyone want to join??

Yes, had an evacuation. Was really traumatic for me (everyone was great ..the doctors and nursing staff and all) - but my heart was breaking in a 1000 pieces during that day. I never want to experience that ever ever again in my entire life.


HA HA!!! Yes....I will come and join you. I might get there before you arrive....

Hi Ladies,

@Chanti - that is horrible, we are closing today I am very happy about that. Thank you for the positivity

@Jooste - I had horrific cramps, but my flow wasn't too bad. I was so stressed that my endo came back in full force, I also think the stress of the whole situation made everything worse. Did you have an evacuation?

AFM - CD24 temp dropped a little today, still feeling hot as hell I think that this year has been long enough and I am thankful for all the good that came out of it, but I am seriously over it
I think I have a wheat allergy and not a meat allergy so now I have to eliminate all of that to see if it is actually wheat. I am ready to go and work for the circus, anyone want to join??

Chanti
I'm the ever optimist. I'm still hoping that you will be a miracle story and fall pg naturally while you are busy saving for IVF.

Nikita
AF treated me rather badly.
I flowed for 6 days - VERY heavy ...with clots (sorry ...tmi).
Bright red and just flowing! Luckily no pain or discomfort. Just an extremely heavy flow. Makes me wonder if it might not still be some left-over material from my pregnancy.

Today (CD 7) things are better. Spotting and nothing more.

I'm so excited for you. Crossing my fingers for you BFP!!

@Nikita - Thanks hun, I definitely will write down any side affects i think i have. Emotionally I am feeling okay, Im sad that our journey to conceiving naturally has come to an end and that we now have this monsterous amount of money to save and a whole set of new challenges to face but im also happy that there is hope and a few months to allow my body to heal before having to go through the next challenge.

Im holding thumbs for u hun!! You need to get that BFP ASAP How awesome would that be! Is the doc going to do anything different once you get ur BFP?

We close our offices at midday on 24th... It still feels so far away

@Chanti - you should write down any symptoms that you experience so that you could check it with your doctor if the headache lasts longer than a few days. How are you feeling, emotionally?

@Jooste - how did AF treat you?

AFM - I am on CD21, AF should arrive by Monday/Tuesday next week, if she doesn't arrive then I will test on the Wednesday or Thursday.
Just happy Friday is around the corner and that I can get some rest

@Jooste - I am still trying to find my feet with this cup but it seems to be doing the trick so far! Whoop Whoop so glad AF arrived for you so that you can get started on this journey again!!

Ladies how are the rest of u doing?

As for me, CD3, Have decided to go onto Visanne as I just can't deal with these painful periods and the fear of doing further damage to my body before doing IVF is also stressing me out. I took my first pill last night and i have a headache today... I seriously hope it's not related!
