Hi ladies

@Pinky...thank you! I hope so too! Almost losing hope a bit but am trying my best to keep healthy and fit and maybe it will happen one day! Well done on losing the 1kg...its such a boost when you notice the weight coming off hey! good luck and i hope you get your BFP soon!!! xxx

@Angel so glad you had a good consult with the doc and you're on track again! hope all is good with hubby too and you also get a BFP soon xxx

@Daisy....I agree we all need some good news here!!! wishing you the best of luck with your IUI. I only actually read up about this procedure last night. Is it expensive? Maybe something to think about if I am still having trouble.

@Chanti...how are you hun? Any news? thinking of you xxxx

AFM...not too sure of my CD, think i'm just past ovulation. Decided not to obsess this month! Trying to find ways to keep sane when AF comes I seem to lose my mind for a few days so trying to not think about conceiving and just focus on work and other things at the moment! went camping this past weekend was such fun! Praying for rain here in CPT....such beaut weather but we desprately need weeks/months of rain!!!

Thinking of you all xxx

Hi everyone...I really wish one of us can just get a BFP soon...

We are going for our first IUI on 18 March. Trying not to get my hopes up too much but its difficult! Also want to ensure we have the best possible chance....

Any advice before Iui? Trying to de-stress

Morning ladies

Dr Trouw was great explained everything so detailed. He did say that I do have PCOS and not endo like my gynae did but he said that he want me to go on the injections due to the failed clomid cycles, but he first put me on femara 7mg from cd3-7 which i started today to see if he doesn't get a positive reaction. He also wants DH to do a spermiogram which he isn't too thrilled about...not saying that there is anything wrong with him but he just wants the count and see how mobile they are. Am going back on cd12 to see results.

How are you doing?

Hey ladies!

I havent been on in ages... I see it has also been fairly quiet here.

@Pinky - I feel you hun, not sure if its all the hormones im on but I'm really feeling sensitive about everything at the moment!!

@ayesha - Good luck for tomorrow hun. I can't help you with questions but definitely hope you get the answers you need.

@Angel - Lets hope that ugly witch stays away hey!!!! Good luck with ur app tomorrow, have only heard great things about Dr Trouw and ladies on my other IVF group are always getting BFP's with him :woohoo:

@Nicola - what happened? did AF arrive?

AFM, been on a rollercoaster ride with our second cycle of IVF that started on 19 Jan. Was a little extended as we struggled to get some of my levels down but we eventually got there and did transfer last monday. Today is 7 days past 5 day transfer so a.k.a 12DPO and I am still getting BFN's at home... BETA is Thursday... Just struggling to remain hopeful and honestly think I am on my way to an all out meltdown. I know it can still be early but most ladies have their BFP's by now and its just really stressing me out. I don't know where I could find the energy to face another transfer. I am still on daily injections of preogesterone in oil and my butt is so so sore. I know its the hormones also making me feel like this but i honestly just want to curl into a ball and cry and stop fighting. I wish I knew if i would never have kids so that I can stop this ridiculous fight and just move on with life... Except I have to find hope and excitement somewhere only to have it shattered... I don't know... I'm praying this can still turn around and I can get my BFP this week.... Im just feeling defeated and I know its the devil making me think these thoughts....

Me: 24
DH:25
