Trying for a 2017 Baby

AnzelMama12 wrote: Hi, ladies

First of all, I want to send my condolences to @Jooste - Her baby's heart stopped beating at 9weeks1day. She informed another group (Jan and Feb 2017 pregnancy), which I was following a while. My heart aches for her - She will be going for a D&E Soon. Please pray for Jooste and her family - This is devastating news and must be very hard for her to work through. This is not her first loss.

Anzel:
Thank you for your prayers -
I did not expect for this to happen at this late stage in my first tri.
You are so kind to mention me in this thread
(Guess I will be rejoining this thread again.....)

@KirstenW - Hi Im taking Pregnacare same as @AnzelMama12. Good luck hope it happens soon for you

@Anzel - no news just sore & itchy boobies, am dying to take a pregnancy test but also don't want to deal with any disappointment at the moment! so am doing my best to keep it off my mind but as you all know that is flipping hard!!! Fingers crossed for your progesterone test on Monday

My bestie who still lives in London is going for her 12 week scan today, and i have another friend in Durban who has just found out she's having triplets!! She's in complete shock! no twins/triplets in the family and conceived naturally!! So focusing on my friends happy news to keep positive

Come on BFP!!!!!! Lots of baby dust to all of us xxx

@Kirsten - I am on Vitabiotic's Pregnacare Conception - it is a one-stop shop, everything in one tablet kind of supplement. Hubby is on the Vitabiotic's Wellman Conception supplement, which is the mail equivalent to Pregnacare. You can get both at clicks or dischem. Hope it helps!

Hi, ladies

First of all, I want to send my condolences to @Jooste - Her baby's heart stopped beating at 9weeks1day. She informed another group (Jan and Feb 2017 pregnancy), which I was following a while.

@Liza - Progesterone count must be above 15 to be positive, so you did indeed ovulate! Whoohoo! I'm going for my progesterone test on Monday. Don't fret too much about hubby's results. There are many products on the market that can help him, such as Sperm-i-prove, Spermaid and Vitabiotics wellman Conception. My hubby has only 2% morphology (genetically) and his count was lowish (15mill). He was put on Sperm-i-prove and has now moved over to Wellman conception. The goal is to increase his count substantially, as 2% of 60mill is far more than 2% of 15mill. So don't despair. I would advise you to prepare hubby for the potential bad news before you see the doc. My hubby didn't take it well when he got the news - It's all about ego for them. Our FS actually said there is no way we will conceive naturally, due to hubby's morphology being so low, but we defied the odds when we got pregnant in April. So there is hope. Just tread carefully when you discuss it with hubby - They are very sensitive about these results and tend to see any comment as criticism to their manhood. FX'ed that you'll get good news by Friday and that you'll get your BFP! Take heart - Everything will be ok!

@Nicola - Any news yet? I agree with Liza - We need a few BFP's!!

@Nikita - How are you, hun? Any news yet?? I'm crossing my fingers for a few BFP's this cycle!

@Chanti - Hello - Nice chatting to you again!

Everybody else? Any news? Updates? BFP?

AFM, CD 16 today, 2 dpo, and nothing new to report. I am a bit fatigued and really have bad heartburn - Had to take three gaviscon tablets during the night. Can't accuse my diet, as I've been really good at avoiding foods that normally give me heartburn, so I don't know what that is all about. Apart from that, I have pinching in my ovaries and a dull, achy feel in my uteris - This I account to the 150mg of Fertomid. Fertomid on such high doses are a bitch. I felt very uncomfortable and achy on Sunday (Ovulation day), everytime I got up, sat down, laughed, coughed or sneezed, it felt like my uterus was going to burst. lol! It didn't hurt, just felt uncomfortable. Today I still have a bit of cramping down there, but nothing major. I'll be going for my progesterone test on Monday to confirm ovulation! I'm holding thumbs!

So, could anyone suggest some excellent vitamins I could take? Me and hubby started trying but unfortunately period started. I turned 35 this year and hubby is 36 so I am little worried it might take longer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Morning ladies

@Liza sorry I can't help with the progesterone level question, but i'm interested to hear as i'm learning so much from all of you ladies. I'm sorry about the not so good news about DH. I haven't had to deal with something like this with my DH but if I did i think I would leave FS to tell him. I dont know about yours but I think my DH would be a bit bummed if I was the one to find out his results before him, but yours may be different. I would wait. Maybe the other ladies have better advice?

I agree...a BFP would be lovely to hear! Today boobs are still very sore and itchy. Trying so hard not to get my hopes up. Am confused about when my AF will arrive as i'm not too sure when ovulation occured so its just a waiting game now. Feeling a bit tired, teary and hungry but I tend to feel like that most of the time these days so nothing new!!

Oh and can anyone help, I want to add a picture to my profile - can anyone tell me how? I can't seem to find it or am I being dim?!!

How is everyone doing?

Morning ladies,

Hope you are all doing good!

I phoned for the test results this morning. So my progesterone count was 46.4. Is that good?

I had to phone the fertility clinic to get hubbies results and it doesn't seem good. The lady says is lower than last year. And that the FS will contact us for another appointment to discuss the results. I have no idea if i should say something to DH or rather keep quiet and wait for the FS to break the news. This is a very sensitive subject, Any advice?

Further more I'm CD26 today and waiting for AF to arrive by Friday. Today i feel so discouraged!!

Any news from you ladies?

WE NEED A BFP ON THIS GROUP!!
