Trying for a 2017 Baby

Hi everyone

Currently im on day 23 after using provera and 50 mg clomid. So currently im in the 2ww.

Lots of babydust to everyone

Really weird cycle indeed
I was put on Ecotrin during my IVF pg until 9 weeks with our little girl and used it also until about 9 weeks with my 2nd pg. During all 3 the subsequent pg's I used Ecotrin. I do not have blood clotting disorders (was just tested for it now in April), but apparently it cannot to much harm being on it. So, I will start it again once a get a BFP and stay on it until the end of the first trimester. I also have a whole script for 4 months' supply of progesterone to start the moment I get the first BFP.

Hey Liza, Did u test again?

hi Ladies,

just an update from me.
Friday was spotting on CD26, Saturday AF arrived. however my stomach and back cramps subsided but it was a really heavy flow. have never had an AF like that before. it lasted 2 days and now there is very light spotting only when I wipe.
I also have severe backache and headache since last night. I just took a panado cos I actually cannot handle the pain anymore.
1 really weird cycle.

@Anzel and Jooste, im soo sorry for your loss. I have read on many ttc websites about baby aspirin that helps for a sticky bean. maybe it worth a try. Google it for more info.

Morning everyone
Yes, a M/C is truly very hard to get over. Doubt if one ever gets over it completely, but it does get better with time. I think it depends where one is in one's life. If I did not have 2 children already - I would have definately taken it worse. But, the fact that I do have 2 children, makes me understand how much love I have for my children and makes the M/C more real. I cannot imagine how it must feel losing a baby later on in a pg - or even having a stillbirth or only having your baby live for a couple of days after birth. It makes me want to go crazy thinking about everything that can go wrong!!

Anzel:
I feel especially sorry for you - since you have a family member also being pg. It is very hard. Hugs to you....

Nikita:
I usually started feeling better around CD4 - 6 of my cycle. Almost ....like "new hope" for another "try". Trust you are ready for the BD marathon lying ahead.

AFM
CD22 today....
(Felt really strong OV cramps on both sides this month) - so I am pretty sure that I ovulated strongly. I really hope that each ovary popped a healthy egg so that we can up our chances of having a good embryo this time around.

HI, ladies

Good to see that there is more activity on the forum this week! It's been very quiet for some time.

@Jooste - Welcome back, honey. I now know exactly what you must be going through. My tears are still flowing some days, especially last night when I realised that I bought baby clothing in new born size for the summer, thinking my baby was due in December. And now, even if I do get pregnant soon, I wont be able to use those tiny summer clothing, as my baby won't be due in the summer. So I was quite tearful last night, even depressed. Some days are better than others, I have to admit. But it's still hard knowing that I was pregnant and my baby was taken away from me so quickly. It hurts to think about it. There will always be a hole in my heart for the baby I lost. Looks like we are both in the TWW. I don't even know if I ovulated this cycle - if I did, it must be in the first week after the miscarriage and D&C, as I got negative OPK's from CD 11, to CD17. Peed on almost R500 there... So expensive to TTC.

@Nicci32 - Sorry that you have the cold/flu. It's terrible being sick at this time of the year. It seems once you get sick, you stay sick for the rest of the winter. I also have a bit of a cold, but I think it's because my immune system is a bit rocky at the moment. Just want to crawl in bed and stay there. Hope you feel better soon. My hubby also has morphology issues. My doctor and FS prescribed Sperm-i-Prove. If you read the description of what Sperm-i-prove does, it is aimed at improving sperm morphology and motility and count. So it's definitely something to consider.

@Annabelle - I also though it might be ovulation, but the OPK's are still negative. It drives me insane, I have to admit. Everything is so uncertain at the moment. Just want to crawl in bed and stay there until AF arrives. I'm so tired, so very tired.

@Nikita - So sorry that AF arrived - It sucks every time she shows her nasty face. At least you can now gear up for ovulation!

For everyone that uses OPKs, we know how expensive they are. I found a great special on Bid or buy. 15 ovulation strips and 5 pregnancy tests for R150, excluding postage. So it is a very good special. The cheapest ovulation tests I bought was almost R80 for four, so getting 15 ovulation tests and 5 pregnancy tests for R150, is a big deal.

AFM, I am on CD19 and my CM has dried up completely. I still have cramping near the uterus, headaches, boob tenderness and fatigue. I'll wait till Thursday to test, for in case the spotting was indeed implantation. Will keep you ladies updated. Otherwise, I'm patiently waiting for AF to arrive. I hate this waiting game, really. Like I mentioned to @Jooste, I remembered last night that I bough a whole bunch of baby clothes on special at Edgars just after I found out I was pregnant. Because I knew it was a December baby, I focused a lot of summer clothes in New born and 0 - 3 months. Then I realised last night that even if I get pregnant again soon, my baby won't be due in summer time, so I can't use any of the clothing I bought. It made me so sad and depressed, because now I have to give it away to my sister in law who is expecting her little girl in December. Life seems so unfair today... Tomorrow I will feel better, I'm sure.
