Trying for a 2017 Baby

Morning Ladies!

Sjoe but its quiet around here!

@ayesha FX for you this cycle! All that we have is hope and prayers! How is your kitten today? I also have 2 cats and would feel exactly like you do!

So officially CD1 for me today. I found a full box of Conceive Plus this morning in my closet! I'm thinking we have nothing to loose so I'm using it this cycle. You never now it only takes 1 little spermie!!

How are the rest of you ladies doing?

@liza im glad he listened and comforted u, u need to know u r not alone on this journey...oh that is so exciting im glad u have such amazing friends that will help you on this journey...

Im on cd6 and my 2nd day of clomid...my kitten came home on tuesday from the spca(had him steralized)he was fine till today, hes not eating or drinking anything and sleeping the whole day...phoned DH in tears about an hour ago convinced the kitty gonna die...he calmed me down and had me phone the spca now im feeding him water through a syringe till tomorrow if he doesnt eat he has to go back to them....that set off the water works again...im sitting on the floor after feeding him and tjunking

Afternoon Ladies!

Just quickly popping in!

@ ayesha i definitely felt better after my vent yesterday. So DH picked up that i wasn't myself lately and he asked me about it last night. I obviously cried as if i was dying but it was good to get everything of my chest. And even better when DH only listened and comforted me.

I emailed the gynie yesterday afternoon about the pricing for the IVF. He actually responded so quickly and said that he has spoken to his assistant and she would be sending it through shortly. His exact words being : "Julle sal goeie pryse kry, ek belowe."
So that something to look forward to!

It's time like these that i thank God for friends!

Hi ladies

Congrats kirsten a happy and healthy 9 months.

Been trying to get on to the moomie app but my phones acting up...

@liza im glad you got that all off your chest, i know its frustrating and i dont know if i would classify all men as that but my hubby is extremely similar, he keeps telling me it will happen if it is meant to! I hope the ivf works out affordable and your DH is willing

Took my 1st round of clomid today super excited for this month, keeping fx that this our month wven though the doc told me not to get too excited or stressed cant help it

@ NicolaF we were referred by our Gynie for the SA to be done. But I'm sure that if you contact a fertility clinic in your area you can just book an appointment and go without being referred. The test cost was about R950.00

We have not received any costing as yet. And I'm actually to afraid to phone and ask. This all feels so far out of my reach!

I have contemplated about IVF so much these past few weeks. There is just so many things that needs to be taken into consideration. I think for me is the biggest of all getting PG with multiples. Should this happen we would have to make huge changes within our household. That includes buying a bigger house and car!

I know i need to focus one thing at a time but i cant ignore the possibility of things that can change our future.

Thanks @Liza, I'm in Blouberg (Cape town). How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking? I am confused as to if I should wait for my gynae visit in September so she can refer DH for a sperm test or if he should just see a GP and they can refer him? I dont understand why gynae would refer him if she is only seeing me?!! anyway maybe you can shed some light! I am so sorry you feel so down Unfortunately I dont think men really get the way we feel at all. they (i am generalising here) seem to be able to just let things go straight over their heads and not worry them but I think its their way of coping as opposed to us ladies who get quite upset and if anyone like me get quite vocal about my feelings!!! and I think it is natural to feel like you want to blame him, especially when it is something you want so desperately. Did they come back to you with a price of the IVF? I haven't been in your position we are still in the early days of trying but I hope that you feel better. Maybe if you focus on the possibility of IVF? Maybe talk to him about how you feel? there is nothing worse than bottling things up, but I do the same especailly when I know the things I may say may upset the person. I hope things get easier for you xxxx

Morning Ladies!

Hope that all is doing well?

First of all Congrats to the ladies with the BFP's!! It's about time we had some action here!

@ NicolaF were are you based? We had ours done at a fertility clinic in Midstream and the results took about one day.

Today i need to vent, and there is no other place to say how and what i feel except for here.
Since we got the news that DH has low sperm count and our chances of conceiving naturally is not good i have only been going downhill.
I feel that DH is just not worried or even as motivated to get a BFP. It's so depressing to have this hanging over me. I don't want to say anything as i don't want him to feel attacked. So i rather keep quiet and just let things be.

In all honesty I'm having a really hard time not blaming him for this. I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO FEEL!!

I don't feel like Bding, which is also causing friction. This month was just a waste as i cannot remember the last time we were intimate.

How can i start getting positive? This is really depressing me.

In this cycle I'm close to AF as i have started spotting yesterday. Obviously there is no use in hoping for a BFP if the thought of our chances is stuck in my head!
