@AnzelMama12 yes DH drives me crazy sometimes with his inconsistent moods. Luckily we are now on the same page and we are now going to try and get pregnant asap.

I actually called the gynae today to make and appointment to make sure everything is fine before I get my hopes up and nothing happens. I never had problems in the past, but then again I was also 19 and 22 when I had my first kids. Dr can only see me on 10 November so I have to wait until then.

For the first time I actually sort of get the phrase hurry up and wait and I have only been at this for a couple of days. Hats off to those of you who have been doing this for so much longer, I do not know where you get the strength from. I am an instant kind of girl, if I want something, I want it now, not in a couple of days months or years, but I want it now.

Also the fact that I cannot speak to anyone except my best friend about this decision is slightly killing me. I also at this stage do not feel that I can speak to her as we made the decision not to have anymore children together and planned out lives going forward after the cut off date this April. She is not happy for me that we are going to try again, but I know she will be happy for me when I get a BFP. So yes confused is the boat that I travel on right now.

Northern Suburbs, Cape Town

Im a halfday working mom of 2 wonderful little girls, most days I just smile and nod and pretend that I know what I'm doing as a parent, but we all know its not true...

@ Anzel, thank you and she really is a sweetie. It seems like you had a wonderful break/holiday and had time to relax and unwind. Holding thumbs that the no stress attitude and the holiday did the trick and you get your BFP!

@ Liza, my best friend also gave up coffee (she's and addict) and she has had terrible headaches too. The heartburn is another story and can be a very good sign. Holding thumbs for you too and wouldn't it be great if you get your BFP before your IVF journey.

@ Ayesha, sorry about the negative test, how many dpo are you?

* 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

Morning Ladies!!

So good to hear from all of you, it's been quiet here!

@ Jay-Bee welcome Back!!! Hope you get that BFP soon!

@ Anzel it's good to not focus on the TTC, I've had times were it just drove me crazy!

From my side, I'm CD24 today. I've had hectic heartburn for the past couple of days. It actually makes me nauseous. Doesn't matter what i eat or drink the heartburn just comes back. I've had some milk last night before bedtime that seemed to help a lot. Struggling with headaches as well, not sure if this is because I've cut back on the coffee.

Just patiently waiting for AF to arrive this weekend and get started on our cycle.

TTC since Jan 2014 to now
April 2015 - July 2015 Fertomid "Unsuccessful"
August 2015 - Oct 2015 Using Concieve Plus

Taking a break!!

Hi, ladies

Hope you are all well.

I saw that @Jay-bee was back and wanted to say hi! Good luck, girl! Hoping you get a speedy second BFP! Rosalie is so precious!

@Liza - Hope you are doing well? Must be very excited for the IVF Dates approaching!

@Chanti - You too! Waiting for IVF dates? Good luck - I really hope you get a speedy BFP.

@Jooste - How are you doing, hun? Thinking of you!

@Ayesha - Don't give up hope yet. Until AF arrives, you are still in the game.

@Stilettomom - Your post made me giggle. The realities of TTC and hubby's inconsistent moods! Good luck to you! Hope you get a speedy BFP.

@Nikita - Any update on your pregnancy? I saw your BFP and then we heard nothing from you for a while. Just curious as to how it is going.

Welcome and good luck to all the other ladies I have not mentioned. This group has grown so much, that it is difficult to keep up with all the new faces.

AFM, I honestly have no idea where I am in my cycle. I was on 150mg Fertomid this month, then we went to the west coast on holiday for a week, and now I'm back at work. My mind is completely off TTC at the moment. We are not giving up on TTC, we are just taking it easy. We have been at it for 2 years plus, so another few months won't hurt. I think I ovulated around the time we were on holiday, but I can't be sure. I'll have to wait it out and see in a few weeks what happens. Have a good day!
