@ Anzel, oh no what terrible luck, but I believe that things happen for a reason.

@ TanyaS, symptom spotting is the worse and I used to be terrible googling every little thing :silly: not knowing the exact DPO can be a plus side as then you can't really compare symptoms at that date. How long is your cycles normally?

@ Chanti, are you going to be using OPK's this cycle?

* TTC baby #1 for 1.5 years
(tried naturally for 1 year - anovulatory cycles)
(medicated Fertomid cycles for 5 months)
BFP - 1 Sept 2015 - un medicated cycle
TTC baby #2 - October 2017
BFP - 3 January 2018

TTC baby #3 in 2021

@JB - I am not hundred percent sure how many dpo I am, I think im prob between 5 to 6 dpo (cd25 today)? On Wednesday last week when I was at the gynae, she could see the egg, but she wasn’t sure if it had popped yet. So im just guessing. Trying not to symptom spot too much lol, last month I did it, drove myself nuts everyday and ended up with a bfn. So everytime I notice a “symptom” I try and see what alternative reason there could be for it. I have been hungry a lot lately, and I feel hot at night, but it quite warm in the evenings. I have a bit of a breakout on my face, but on the other end I have been picking, I am basically just trying not to read to much in to stuff cause I drive myself crazy lol

@Chanti – sorry about your af, it will happen, you have a fresh start this cycle :)

@Anzel – oh my goodness! What a mess :( sorry about the damages and your weekend, I think I would have burst an artery if that happened to me. I live in jhb now but come from a small little town in East Londen, my mom still lives there so we go in dec, and there are always rumours about all sorts of things. So I hear you, its like some people just really have nothing to do with their time than gossip about others. I don’t even live there, yet I know exactly what goes on with who, because of the story mills all over the place

@Tanya1 – Good luck!!!!!!!!! FX!!!! Hope it all goes well these 2 weeks for you and you get your bfp :laugh:

What a grimm day in PTA today. Overcast and rainy!

@ Anzel & Chanti i felt like that last week. The moment i saw spotting i felt depro. This month were giving it our all. Started BD last night. We have 4 applicators of CP we'll use them CD10 CD12 CD14 CD16

I dont even want to think about a BFN this month.

Phoned the gynie yesterday and i am expecting a call today from him to give the test results.

@Chanti - Oh, how I know how you feel! Had to go and buy some stuff for a friend of mine's baby shower this week. And felt so guilty and sad at the same time. We live in a small town and every time I post something on FB, every body assumes I'm pregnant. And then the rumours start. I'm so sick of it. Be strong. Another cycle coming up. We will get through this...

Had some drama today. A student at the College where I work at, took to a motorcycle without a licence or helmet, and smashed into my car. R10000 damage and almost R3000 excess payment. The student got hurt real bad. We called his parents for details re the insurance claim, then it came out that both his parents are blind and on social grants. Thus, they cannot afford to pay the damages to my car. This, unfortunately, means our weekend away is cancelled. I'm upset and disappointment and quite honestly pissed off. This is our week for BD'ing, and I was really hoping for some peace and rest at the beach. And now this... :swear: :angry: :tmi:

Hey ladies!

@Anzel - sorry that u felt terrible. I also had a bit of a moment... you are allowed to feel upset and angry about the whole TTC journey especially when its taking long!

@Liza - anymore news on the blood tests?

@ Tanya - any news on ur side?

AFM, CD2, don't have much to say about this cycle, just carrying on... I want to be able to walk into the baby section of a store and not feel judged for being there or feel like I need to simply glance over as I don't have the right to be there.
