Trying for a 2017 Baby

Good morning ladies!

I pray that you are all doing exceptionally well and that you each had a very blessed Christmas and New Year and were able to get some much needed rest

@ Chanti - My deepest sympathies to you and your loved one's. I realise that there is possibly nothing that anyone could say to make you feel better, but just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I do hope that you find peace as soon as possible!

@ HoPe2 - Enjoy the fertility window... That's always the fun part... It's the dreaded 2ww which was always an absolute killer in my mind!

@ Nicole - I wish I could help you and give you more clarity regarding your MC questions, but honestly I simply don't know. But if you did in fact miscarry, you should still be able to take a pregnancy test and it should still give you a positive (getting lighter) over that period and the HCG levels in your urine starts to decrease back down to 0. Just a thought?

@ Ksnyman - I know it sounds strange, but honestly try not to over think the entire process, it puts SO MUCH additional, unnecessary stress on yourself, which is the absolute LAST thing that your body needs during this process!

AFM - I wasn't too sure if I was "allowed" to continue posting here since getting my BFP, and I honestly didn't (and still do not) want to upset anyone with all my happy news, knowing how each of you are trying to overcome your own difficult journeys), but I thought - seen as many were asking, I thought I would pop in here quick.... Yesterday we got to go for our 8week scan and (now getting all teary eyed again), we saw our gorgeous little nugget, heard the strongest of heart beats and just over all got our minds and hearts set at ease. Our S is very happy with how everything is looking, so now comes a HUGE 4 week wait now Otherwise, I ended up having a bit of a scare 2 weeks ago, where I woke up in the middle of the night with dreadful pain in my right hand side and assumed I was miscarrying again. Hubby rushed me through to the FS rooms and after doing a scan, he discovered I have a wonderfully large ovarian cyst (about 8cm wide).... He was not worried at all and said it happens so many times because of all the FSH I was having to inject during my cycle... Long story short, the cyst is slowly but surely getting smaller now, which is great!

Lastly, I just want to wish each and everyone of you the very best for 2017! I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers and look forward to seeing all your BFP announcements SUPER SOON!

Loads of love and an abundance of Blessings to each of you and your families!

Ok so here we go again......Apparently in fertile window now with ovulation expected 3 days from now. Falls on the weekend - how convenient
So another month to try get a little soul to choose me to be their mommy.
Holding thumbs!

BTW Hope you all had a wonderful festive season and keeping the faith that 2017 is your year

Oh Chanti my heart is absolutely breaking for you friend. I am so so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your dear Dad and of your accident. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a parent I am so sorry. My deepest condolences to you and your family and i'm sure your dad will be looking over you all forever. And my goodness how scary for your husband (and for you) with your fall, I am so glad that you are ok and that all the tests have come back but please take care of yourself and rest. I don't even know what else to say but they say bad things happen in 3's so I am positive you have a lot of happiness coming your way soon. Sending lots of hugs your way and if you were in CPT I would say let's go for a glass of wine

Sending love and light to all of you xxxxxx

Chanti, so sorry to hear about your ordeals. it is indeed a very difficult time for you. I pray that you heal soon

Hey ladies!

So to say I have been through a bit of a rollercoaster would be an understatement.. So after receiving my negative BETA on my bday 23 Nov, my dad tragically passed on the 25 Nov. This was a huge shock and actually helped with dealing with the IVF failure as it made me realise how insignificant that loss was compared to the loss of such a great man in my life. I am still trying to deal with the loss and it all feels surreal, it breaks my heart that he won't be around to meet his grandkids one day, what an amazing grandad he would have been So as if that wasn't enough, last week I fell off the back of my husbands bakkie whilst driving on the dirt road! When hubby found me I wasn't breathing and when I came around I had a seizure.. My poor husband having to go through all of that alone after everything he did with my dad's passing... I can't imagine how terrified he was. Fortunately I had no broken bones, no further seizures and my CT scan came back clear, I am just covered in roasties and a few stitches on the back of my head.

At the moment I feel completely drained and not positive about much, keep waiting for the next tragedy to happen... I just want life to go back to normal, to have my dad around and to just appreciate the small things.

Our next appointment is on the 17th and that will give us more info as to when our frozen transfer will take place.. Im just trying to not think about that for now...

@nicolaf - I hope you didn't have a miscarriage I know when i would get AF I would get massive clots, I could actually feel them coming through (TMI) so I hope it is just something like that and not an early miscarriage. Make sure you chat to your gynae xx

@ksnyman - I think for the men they will always be concerned about being able to provide and that's only natural. We have been TTC for two years and gone through one cycle of IVF and my husband still worries about being able to provide and if the time is right!! Just remember to keep it special and not make sex a job, make it fun for him too. Good luck on your journey!!! When you get that BFP, DH will be over the moon

@Jillian - Welcome back!! What was the outcome????

@Pinky - Any news?

@ayesha - I hear you there, so desperate for a break away to just turn off and forget about life's worries.

@jooste - How are you doing?

@Sammy - Congrats hun!!! Any update?

Congrats to anyone else I may have missed and good luck to those in the TWW xx

Lots of love

Ladies I hope you are all well?!!! I have a question which I know will be sensitive as It's regarding miscarriage but I've had a another period with big clots and I inspected one of them closer and I can't help but think I miscarried at four weeks. That was on the 31st Dec, do you think if I take a pregnancy test now the levels will be high enough still to detect if I was in fact pregnant but miscarried? I wish I had taken a picture of the clot for my Gynae but at the time I didn't wannna think about that, now I can't stop thinking about it just wondering how I can find out now a few days later. Anyone?

Hi ladies - new to this forum. Honestly I've never used one but I just feel like I cant talk openly to friends or family.

Last month was only my first month of ttc for second child. Af was due day before Christmas. My Cycle is extremely regular and very rarely late I landed up being over eager and doing two tests because af was one day late. ANYWAY I landed up starting on Christmas day talk about the witch! I felt extremely disappointed and feel so annoyed with myself due to this only being my first month I mean a lot of couples try for months. But I also have my dear husband that's been very wishy washy about ttc a second child I know if I didn't pursue it he would be quite happy with one child. I think hes mainly concerned about finances. It's like he finally agreed but we already going through the whole up and down again of "oh are we going to try this month." I feel this should be such a happy and fun time and it just doesn't feel like that I feel guilty for wanting another baby so bad. I feel like we just completely not on the same page he wants to be financially secure and do well and I just want family. when I tell him that he said he also loves his family but it's important for him to be able to support that family. I feel like I cannot go a day without going back and forth in my head.
