@Anzel - Did you come right with ordering of conceive plus from your local chemist? I have been to dischem again but there is still nothing on their shelves. I am still willing to check other stores for you if you dont have any luck on your side?

@JB - Today I really need to hang in there. Just ate half a packet of cheese curls :blink:

@Ninies - I know it is weird right, a lot of women say that they didn't have one symptom :laugh:

@Inca - For me it is important to find a gynae that you feel comfortable with, and I must say I really do like my gynae, she told me that we have to BD about 4 - 5 times a week and that that will improve our changes :laugh: but sometimes that doesn't happen, life is hectic

@Liza - At least you made it :woohoo: I think it will be good if you guys BD again tonight just for luck you know.

AFM - I am on CD 23, feels like AF is around the corner feel a bit sick :( numbness in my legs, nausea, slight cramping by my ovaries, dizzy, had a headache this morning and having backache. I think I am ready for the retirement village today :whistle:

Hi Ladies

@ inca yes he is very pro natural. This is a big factor for me. With my son i had no problems during labour and it was very quick. I'm def not opting for a C-section unless its really neccesary.

We had a fun run with our church last night. Me hubby and our LO took on the 5km. Glad to say that i made it :silly: but today i have pains in places not know to me :lol:

CD16 for me today. Kind of worried as we B'd last on CD14. Hubby also had action cricket last night and got home late. Do you guys think i need to use my last Concieve applicator tonight?

Morning ladies :)

Hope you are all doing well this morning.

Went to the new gynae yesterday at Femina Hospital in Pretoria. Firstly, hubby was not impressed at all with the looks of the hospital nor the location and, neither was he happy with the gynae. He thought she was extremely impersonal and didn't really care about "us". So he isn't keen for us to go back to her at all. On the bright side - she said everything looks good. I have a good and bif right follicle whcih she says the egg should be released in the next 2-3 days. That's what I don't understand though...I had a positive opk on Monday and Tuesday and a negative yesterday so I was under the assumption that I had ovulated on Tuesday (CD14). So very confused. And she also said we only need to BD on CD10, 12 and 14. Anything after that is only for pleasure :blink: So I'm super confused! The reason I wanted to go to her was because I had heard that she was very pro-natural birth and my gynae that I went to last year wasn't but she was also a much nicer person. So I don't know what to do now.

@Liza: Is your gynae friend very pro natural birth?

Otherwise, I must just suck this idea of trying for natural up and just go back to my gynae from last year and if she wants to do a c-section then so be it.

What do you ladies suggest?

@Jaybee - I did check with my doctor and he tested with my first pregnancy and I was immune then. He says that one stays immune for life. Either I was vaccinated when young or had the virus. But like you say it was not compulsary when we were young, but I remember getting german measles when I was about 10 or so. So that is one less thing to worry about.
I can imagine how impatient you are. I think it is good that you go for another blood test tomorrow - I know your levels will have sky-rocketed. I suppose you cancelled all the tests for the FS and his appointment?

@Chanti - my hubby has also gone fishing since yesterday. He is part of a competition that comprises 3 legs during the year. So far he is the leader for this years competition, this is the last leg. I hope he wins some money...We really need to start planning our finances as I dont think my work will pay me while on maternity leave.
Anyway, I know what it is like. Always when I am fertile he was fishing...so I started sending him invites on his phone's calendar so he knows when what is up.
I must add that I think he is happy to be away from home as he is really paying the price for me being pregnant. I keep on fighting with him about the smallest of things. So he tries to leave me alone and then I start again because he is ignoring me... :blink: :blink: :blink: He says it must be a girl inside me because it is only a woman that is so full of nonsense.... :laugh:

@Anzel - how are you feeling today?

@Nikita - I must say all these months of TTC I used to symptom spot every single month and make myself sick. But in the cycle I conceived, there were no symptoms. I am sure Jaybee can also confirm this? It is so weird.
