Trying for a 2016 baby

@Chanti - It is sometimes very hard to keep the faith. Today was one of those days for me. Everywhere I went, I just see babies and pregnant bumps. And it depresses me. Like I believe I'm not good enough to get the oppotunity to become a mom. But I know God has a plan. And His plan is good.

@anzel - Wow you have really made great achievements! Well done! I am sure that you will be able to share that great news with family one day We need to have faith that the Lord will provide

Hahhaha! @Chanti, it sounds worse than it is. I completed my honours degree in 2013, 10 days before my wedding. And when I started teaching, the College required of me to complete my PGCE as well (PGCE stands for Post Grad Certificate in Education). I only have two exams left to complete this Certificate, and I honestly can't wait. I also love writing. I write for magazines as well. Just last week one of my short stories were published in Vrouekeur. So it is quite exciting to know that soon, I'll have a book in my hand that has my name on it! Eeeeek! Exciting!!

At least one day, when baba is here, I might be able to stay home longer to take care of them, while I still have a form of income. So this is a very very cool. Looking forward to the rest in December, though. I have four weeks off. One week I'm going to my family in PE with hubby (where the IUI will take place, if it comes to that), then we will be spending Christmas at home with the in-laws in very hot Upington. Can't wait to one day share the news of a pregnancy with my family...

@Anzel - Wow I take my hat off to you!! Your baba is going to be so lucky to have you as his/her mama one day. It honestly sounds extremely interesting but having just finished my degree, the thought of after hours work/studying sends me into an immediate panic attack!I really think the rest will do you the world of good and just in time for ur IUI I can't believe you write textbooks!! Will take me a while to get over this

@Ninies - Thank you! I really appreciate your help with the CP. My friend actually got pregnant with her twins two months after stopping Clomid, so I am probably just impatient. lol! I'm having a rough day. Everywhere I go I see babies or pregnant women and it is really depressing. But hey... There is still hope! My cycles, unmedicated, are 27 days, now and then 28 days. Last month my cycle was 31 days longs but I was on inofolic. This month, I was on inofolic until I ran out. And then on Fertomid. Normally, when I'm on fertomid, my cycles are extended with a few days. So I expect it to be about 30 days this month. So I'll keep you ladies posted!

@Chanti - I sometimes wonder myself! After November, things will dramatically slow down in my life. My studies would be finished, my other course would then be complete (The exams in November is the last to get the qualification), my students tests and assignments are marked and I'm looking forward to a month long school holiday. I have three more textbooks to write in 2016, but they are quite spaced out. So no more rushing through everything. I am writing Personnel Training N5 and N6 books for the TVET Sector at Oxford SA Publishers, and Intro to Personnel Management and Personnel Management N4 - N6 books, also for the TVET sector, at Seyfferdt publishers. The ones I'm busy with now, is Personnel Training N5 and Intro to Personnel Management N4. When they are done, I have to do one more for this year, before I can take a break. It's been a great and challenging year. I've reached alot of my goals and these books are my greatest achievements thus far.

@Anzel - My goodness woman, you need to be like popeye and only eat spinach to have enough energy to get through that workload! What textbooks are u writing? That is pretty cool Are you going to scale down after all of those deadlines? The stress can't be doing any good for your TTC journey. I agree with ninies that most ladies get their BFP's after their Fertomid cycles so don't lose hope! Do you have to do another cycle of Fertomid?

@Anzel - I will gladly help you out. I will send you a PM.
How long are your cycles usually? Do you not want to wait for AF to show first? Maybe you tested too early? Just make note that many woman that used fertomid got their BFP's after their Fertomid cycles. Even my gynae confirmed that. So I would give it another month or two that you try your best.
You sure have so much to do on your to do list. Goodness. I dont know if I would be able to do all that you do.
