Trying for a 2017 Baby

Sammy
Sounds good to me!! Heartbeats are only officially there after 5 weeks ....and only detectable via ultrasound after 6 weeks. The fact that you could see the gestational sac is right on track! Whoohoo! So exciting!! How many follies did you have during the IUI?

Currently CD18 -
the waiting ......

Good morning lovely ladies

I pray that you are all doing extremely well and just being kind to yourselves!

Thank you so very much to everyone for the wonderful well wishes. Although it's been a week since we found out the news, I think ew are still trying to come to terms with the fact that I actually am pregnant! Not sure if that makes sense?
So far things have been pretty quiet on my side, however last night I woke up with dreadful pain in the right side of my groin, in my back and down my right leg! I honestly thought I was either miscarrying or my appendix was about to rupture or something. So hubby took me to my FS this morning and we had to wait for him as he was booked in theatre, but he quickly ran across the hospital to find out what was up between caesars! So it turns out I have a 6cm cyst at the moment goodness me! But he isn't too worried, he says the worst I have to suffer is the pain, he did give me some pain meds though and he is certain the cyst will take care of itself, otherwise they will have to look at operating later on... Other than that, we got to see our little gestational sac Although I am not too sure what else one should see at 4w6d? I am assuming no heart beat or any of that? But I am not going to stress out right now, we are seeing him again on the 22nd, so then I will be 6w2d. Also had my HCG redone this morning, and my numbers now over 4000, so from 23.5, then 77 48 hours later now a week later at more than 4000, I am seeing as a good sign and just focusing on that!

How is everyone else doing? It's gone very quiet in here, but I suppose it is to be expected, with the year that is winding down at the moment!

Bless you all xxx

Hi everyone!

Sammy: How are you feeling!?

MsR: Best would be to ask your FS about all the do's and don'ts. Most clinics have information sheets that specifically explain what they expect of patients during treatment cycles. Staminogro, Sperm-I-Prove, Prelox, Proxeed are all supplements highly recommended. Vit C, Omega 3 and Zinc and obviously folic acid should form part of your daily routine as well. And...you SMILE through all of the side-effects - knowing that you are doing it all to achieve a pregnancy! GL!!! Lets us know how it goes.

Pixie: Nope...this is not a easy journey. Not by far. Sorry about AF-

Liza: Ha ha!!! I have never even heard about the Bleach test?!! Where do people get all of these ideas. I guess if you do not have a stick to pee on - you pee on anything else and then start to speculate about the results. How is your spirits lately? Still preparing for FET sometime next year?

I really hope that AF does not rock up for you. It would be SO wonderful if we could have another BFP with Sammy this month. December is afterall the month where we can hopefully expect blessings galore.

AFM:
It is CD14 for me today. Went to the FS yesterday. Had 2 follies (19mm each). Used Pregnyl last night to trigger and we need to BD today, tomorrow and the day thereafter to make sure we have enough spermies available. We feel so happy to at least have another cycle to give it our all and we are praying for a Christmas prezzie (would be great if both can fertilize!)

Hi Ladies,

Hope u all are well.

it's been a while since I last posted. I decided to concentrate on weight loss for a few weeks.

I start my next cycle with Fertomid, Gonal F, progynova and Ovitrell leading up to IUI

any advise and tips are welcome...
how do u deal with all the side effects? is there any specific vitamins you take?
do & donts?

Thanks Ladies.
Wishing u all baby dust.

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all doing well,

sorry for being quiet work is hectic with the year ending cant wait.

@Sammy - Congratulations,

@Joo-ste - Nabothian cyst is build up of mucus on the cervix that turns to bumps or just one bump, last year i thought i was in the early stages of Cervical cancer cause of the bump, it is not painful its just there,

AFM: Received my blood tests yesterday
Progesterone - 16.4 - waiting for Dr to call me if good news guess he won't
Prolactin - 14.7
Insulin fasting is 2.3 - a bit worried on this one.

Today AF decided to pitch up, so there goes my good mood. . This journey that we face every day is not easy, i dont know how to feel anymore and the more i think about the more i just get angry and hurt. Il get through it, we all will.
DP is going to go for his check up sometime in this month.

Morning Ladies

@ Sammy CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm super excited for you! May you have a blessed 9 months!

So my sister told me about the Bleach pregnancy test yesterday .... Very strange and i don't think that it can be accurate, but was wondering if you girls have heard about it.
According to Dr Google if you pee in a cup and you pour bleach with the urine and it turns frizzy then you are pregnant. If the liquid stays the says obviously negative. So my sister is 9 days late for AF and tested with the bleach thing. It turned frizzy and she was in a flat spin ...
And of course i tried it .... it turned frizzy and i know that this is highly impossible to be PG.
So i encouraged her to do a PG test this morning and it turned out negative. I really don't know why these things are even on Google. It's really just a huge hoax

AFM CD23 for me today. AF should arrive on my B-day the 12th .... My family is also visiting us for a week and they are all arriving on Monday. I really do not need a bad day, but Ja! We really did more BDing than ever before over this cycle. But in the back of my mind i'm just thinking why would we get a natural BFP now???

@ Jooste how is the cycle treating you?

@ Nicola sorry that the witch arrived. When is she due to leave?

@ Chanty how are you doing hun? I believe that the time will pass quickly for your FET procedure and i'm positive about that BFP! xx

@Ayesha how are you doing? Haven't heard of you for some time?

Sammy
YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy for you!!!! It is wonderful wonderful news and the best to start the holidays with! Praise to Him who gives us our blessings.

And now...I completely forgot all the other personals that I wanted to write.

Will pop in again later.....

PS. Lets hope that Sammy's BFP is the first of many to follow this month...
