Hey everyone!

(welcome to the newbie!)

Glad that we are all so positive and upbeat. None of us have had great news over the last few weeks, so I trust that December (and all the Goodwill coming from it), will give us a new fresh outlook on our situations.

Someone asked about me doing IVF? Nope, not now. We will be trying for 2 cycles on our own. Will then stimulate (Femara) a little for 2 more natural cycles and will then only go back to IVF. Since I mananged to fall pg twice after our first IVF, we believe that it will happen naturally again. We are just not going to try naturally for years on end, though. We do not have the luxury of time, since we are both heading towards our 40's.

@Nikita - That is so exciting hun!! Woohoo!!! I have started a natural treatment until AF arrives, I am using progesterone cream in the second half of my cycle as well as an extra supplement of Omega's, Vitamin C, VitaminE. I am also cutting out sugar and most gluten products. I am also very careful to only drink water out of glass containers and if i heat food in the microwave i take it out of the plastic container and rather use a plate. DH and I are starting to grow our own hormone free chickens, my dad will set a few sheep aside and keep them on hormone free feed and DH will also have to go fishing a little more often to help with another meat option. Hopefully you get your BFP quickly before endo flares up again. Im really adamant on fighting this thing.

Ladies I have set up a fb account, IVF South Africa, please could you join it and add your input. I haven't found many sites for only ladies in South Africa doing IVF and so I thought it would be nice to share local information and support one another.

Hi Ladies,

So AF eventually started :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: Must say the cramps and pains and all that :swear: was terrible. I still have on an off :tmi: bleeding now :tmi: I am just really happy that AF arrived now we can get the on the TTC wagon again :rock:
I am a little worried that the endo will worsen now after the MC, but will keep faith. I am still tempting and it helps me to pin point my ovulation.

Welcome to all the new ladies.

@Chanti - How are you feeling? My Gynea also wanted me to use Visanne after the Lapscope but I decided against it as we just wanted to see if I could fall pregnant. If nothing happens by Jan/Feb I will go and speak to her to here what my options are.

@Jooste - how are you feeling?

Hi Ladies,
I'm AL and I'm new to the site. It will take a while to get used to all the abbreviations, but after reading the posts for a while, I finally decided to sign up.
I'm 34 and we've have been actively TTC for 2 months. I'm looking forward to sharing in your journey as much as I look forward to sharing mine with you.
Have a Blessed evening.
AL
