Trying for a 2017 Baby

@Nikita this part of the TWW is always the worst for me. Feel like I'm hanging between you know were and what! Which then causes me to symptom spot! I must say this cycle i feel the twitches and things but I'm just chilling. What will be will be! Hope you feel better soon!

@ Anzel i felt the same way when i was using the OPK's those things really drove me over the edge! The follicle scan would be the best option! Please let us know of the outcome

@ Chanti i understand. I really can't understand why things TTC thing needs to be so complicated!! My FS said with our previous visit he would like to do a laparoscopy. I'm quite skeptical on going for that and then there is nothing wrong. As i understand there are symptoms that can indicate to endo?

Morning Ladies!

@liza - yes there is a procedure they can do to try and block them, however there is a chance that they cut you open and they can't repair the tubes which then just creates more scar tissue. If they manage to unblock them they usually close up again within about 3 months, with my endo being so bad on top of it all it would mean me going off my meds and a high risk that my cyst will grow again and damage my ovary even further. Any further damage to my ovary and it may have to be removed. The possible damage and low success rates just made us decide we are not willing to operate again. Less than 6 weeks after my lap in November the doctor found my endo had already grown back to operative stage which freaked us all out. The Visanne seems to be doing wonders as I don't suffer from too much pain anymore thankfully. Maybe a miracle will occur and my tubes will clear on their own, we can only pray! I hope this makes sense. I don't really know how to put it into words.

Hi ladies. I am very dispondent today. I an CD12 and my OPK still looks like this. And this is on 150mg of Fertomid!!





What the hell is going on with my body? I feel broken.

I called the gynae and will see him 12:30 for follicle scan. I am so depressed.

Hi Ladies,

@Liza - My one ear is blood red, and I also have a constant headache I also had cramping on CD22 and CD23 was horrible.
I will speak to DH this weekend depending if AF arrives or not, so that we can start saving.

AFM - CD24 feeling bleh, constant horrible headache, feeling a bit naar, had horrible stomach craps last night (I assume that it is my ulcer due to stress). I am just waiting it out, AF should arrive by the weekend, if not then I will test.

Morning Ladies!

So glad it's Friday!

@Anzel it's good to vent! We can say what we like here because we know that everyone understands. About the weight thing being a factor i also always wonder about that. My sister in law definitely weighs more than 100kg and she is PG now with her second.

@Chanti why have i heard that tubes can be unblocked? Or is this another procedure?

@ Nikita how are you doing? We are also thinking of taking a chance and doing IUI. As soon as we see the FS again we will decide what our options are.

As for me. I assume i am CD22 today. I've had slight cramping last night and this morning. And constant headache! Had the progesterone test done yesterday. Now were waiting for the results of DH SA and my test. Hopefully it does not take very long. I really need to know now were we stand on this journey and what our options are.

@Nikita - Yes your chances of multiples are increased, the big problem comes in when one embryo splits after implantation and say for example they put two embryos in and those two split into two sets of identical twins you end up with quads!!!! I think your chances of embryos splitting though are the same as a natural pregnancy so the biggest factor is how many embryos you actually implant. I so pray you get your BFP before having to go for any further treatment, it really does suck.

You are also so right about needing to have faith when praying, it is so important to put all your trust into Him.

@Anzel - I am praying so hard for you hun, I think about you often and I really really hope that you can get your BFP without needing any treatment. God has a plan for each and every one of us and I trust that He will fulfill the promises He makes to us. I also hear you about having to repeat tests. If you do find that you want to try a clinic in Bloem then you could perhaps ask the other clinic to transfer your file and just let them know that it is a distance issue and not related to their services.

@Chanti - does the IVF increase your chances for twins? My DH had to go into the Lab to do the sample it was so funny, there was a gay guy at the front desk with long hair and polished nails assisting him with the paper work and he even dimmed the lights for DH in the room. DH said he felt so uncomfortable. I had my Lap scope done on the same day.

@Anzel - I told DH that we should wait until October (1 year after the MC) before we try the IUI, so I cant change my mind again.

We had a discussion the other day about faith and praying, you cant have the one without the other you have to have faith when you pray otherwise it wont work. And I tend to forget that some times. We ask for things then we have doubt, shouldn't be that way.

For all the ladies: You're a diamond dear. The can't break you.
