Trying for a 2017 Baby

Chanti / Liza
You 2 might even be IVF buddies!!!!
So exciting!!!
(wonderful that something is about to happen)

Ayesha
Things therefore better between you and DH?

Nicola
It would be great if you can have your LAP as you definately increase your conception rate by removing the endo. So...I would start counting the "6 months" of trying only after having the LAP.

Daisy
Wish I could give you some wonderful news....but the only news I have is....we woman...are complicated! So...when one is TTC, every little symptom can mean something...or absolutely nothing. GL with the 2ww.

AFM
I am officially back on the TTC wagon again. AF arrived today. Not the way I would typically expect of her to arrive. (Sorry for the detail - - - but she is all black and full of clots and very light). I suspect that after having 2 evacuations done in a timespan of 3 weeks must have thinned out my lining completely. I am happy to know that at least my body is busy getting rid of whatever must have stayed behind so that we can build a thick healthy lining for this month's TTC attempt. Will be starting 5mg Femara on CD3.

@nicolaf yea life is one big test...just gta fight through it...

@Chanti i doubt it will be a bfp as we only BD'D 1ce on cd10 then all this happened so not really expecting a BFP...

We channeling all our negative feelings towards our renos and i think its thereputic in a way, we on common ground and working through it...my biggest issue is trusting him again

Hey ladies!

@Ladies - Yes we have had a bit of help from my folks which has been amazing!! I am so excited to get started! If you join us on IVF South Africa fb page you will get details about what the ladies are going through. I think the worst bit is egg retrievel and secondary to that would be the actual injections, the rest is painless. All women react to the meds differently, some have mood swings and others are completely fine. The best is to stay/eat healthily and prepare mentally/emotionally for the rollercoaster. Any idea on when you start?

@Ayesha - I hope things are on the up and up for you, I'm glad to hear you and hubby are trying to mend fences. Has that nausea turned into a BFP by any chance?

@nicola - the next steps would be to see a gynae, they would probably do blood tests to check your AMH/FSH levels as well as possibly testing hubby's sperm. Seeing as you will already being going for a lap that would be great to check your tubes at the same time. My "next steps" after not conceiving after 9 months was a lap due to an endometrioma and they then found blocked tubes which put an end to too much further testing so I can't offer any advice as to what else they might do. I hope your lap goes well! I have been on Visanne since December when I had my lap and it certainly feels like it is working wonders inside. No pain!

@Daisy - Cramps could possibly have been implantation??? You never quite know in the TWW will just have to wait it out!

@Jooste - Any idea as to why ur cycle is taking so long??

AFM, it looks more and more promising that we will be starting IVF in OCtober which is only a month away!! Starting to get really excited and allowing myself to dream of pregnancy again! This has been a long "hopeless" year since receiving the news.

Hi ladies

I have been really quiet...sorry! But have followed up on all the happenings and WOW @liza i am SO happy for you that is so exciting!!!!!! You will have to keep us updated What is the next step? xxx
@Jooste...has AF shown her ugly face yet? Hope youre doing ok? xxx

@Ayesha I'm glad you and DH are working through things. Life really does test us sometimes doesnt it. I hope you feel better soon xxx

@Daisy I haven't experienced that but hope you're doing ok, you feeling better?


AFM...i'm on CD16 and just going with the flow this month no expectations. I do have a question though for all of you. They told me that as im almost 35yrs old that we should try for 6 months and if nothing then we would follow the next steps. What generally would be the next steps? I do have endometriosis so I am hoping a laparoscopy is going to be booked in for mid October and I am hoping they can also check my fallopian tubes at the same time rather than me booking an HSG, but if I was to not go for the lap, what generally would be the next steps to help us fall pregnant? I just want to kind of have a bit of knowledge when I go and see her as I've only seen her once and I'm not sure how she practises when it comes to TTC.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you're all doing well! lots of babydust to all xxx

Ayesha
So I guess that not a lot of BDing went on in your house over OV time?? Ai...so sorry about all the issues you are having.

AFM
On CD37 ....still waiting for stupid AF -
If you want for her to stay away - she rocks up....but oh boy...when you want for her to come along - she takes her freaken time....

Will start on 5mg Femara during my next cycle. So for me...I am in the waiting game again-
