Trying for a 2017 Baby

Thanks Ladies,

Dr Google is my friend again and on every page i can see a solution to low sperm count.

I sometimes wonder if IVF is not the first thing they tell us just to make money...

I'm definitely going to ask the FS if it's normal practice for the receptionist to discuss and give such information to patients over the phone.

@Liza - Don't let that get you down. Our FS said exactly the same to us - that we should go straight to IVF as we'll never conceive naturally. Then 10months later we got pregnant naturally. If it's a matter of spermcount, grap hubby some sperm-i-prove. Within 3 months, his count will increase. There is always hope.

Hey ladies,

@Jooste - I am so very sorry to hear about your loss! My heart is breaking for you I don't know why this process has to be so difficult for some, its unfair!!

@Liza - I feel for you hun! My gynae told my husband whilst wheeling me out of surgery and said he better start working hard and saving. She gave us a figure of R70k to work on. After seeing the FS he gave us a figure of R50k. Im so sorry that they have said it is your only option I will pray for you and I am here to chat at any time. You are not alone! The receptionist shouldn't have been the one to give you the news, it should have been the doctor. Keep believing in miracles!

Hi ladies

@jooste my hearts bleeding for you, i cannot imagine what you must be going through....you are in my thoughts n prayers

Hows the rest of you ladies doing?

Im on my ovulating week but i somehow already know that its not going to be my lucky month so im just offish, DH is stressed out by work so no time for BD....i feel as though i am giving up on my dream, had to pack away our current dining room set so i went into the store room this morning, i sat between the cot and pram n broke down, we keeping them for our next baby but today i felt that dream slipping away,

Hi Ladies

@Lisa - I am so sorry. How can she drop the bomb like that??? I would've been so upset!!!! Are you going to test to see if you maybe have a BFP?

AFM- day 3 of Af and I actually had a super light AF, pain is horrible.

Hi Ladies,

Hope all is doing well?

Got a call from the Fs office today, the lady was phoning to schedule a meeting with me and DH to discuss our test results.
So she asks if she can give me prices for IvF and i'm like sure.

The she drops the bomb on me and says that naturally we would not be able to concieve. IUI is also not an option for us as DH sperm count is not enough. In short IVf is our only option to concieve.

Even if my heart longs for another child were does one fork out R40 000, and it would still then be a gamble....
