Hi There Gals!!!

So happy to see everyones progress and how quickly things are progressing for everyone!! I cannot wait to read your posts!

AFM: Finished my Fermara pills yesterday, and I only have 1 more shot of Menopur left and 1 Citrocide.

Going for our scan on saturday to see how many eggies are there and their sizes, I am so excited and petrified all in one, I dont really have much side effects or symptoms from the meds, except for the ovary cramps and feeling bloated.
I really hope that the meds did their thing?
I also feel very tired lately but things have been hectic at work so it can be either work or medication related.

Baby Dust all you great ladies xx

@ Nicola, When I was on Fertomid it did make me ovulate but I did not fall pregnant. The following month I was not on Fertomid and had an appointment to see a fertility specialist. That month we didn't expect anything and that's when I fell pregnant. People don't realise how word can hurt even if its not meant in a hurtful way, people just don't known the struggle like when they say "so when are you starting a family" :cry:
Holding thumbs for you

@ Angel, I too can't wait out the whole 2ww and always test early too...hang in there

@ Megs, no I have never tried the Fertipil but hubby is going to be taking the Sperm-I-Prove. I also take the Clicks Folic Acid pills

@ Reece, the score of 50 depends on which company took the test (Pathcare or Ampath)

* TTC baby #1 for 1.5 years
(tried naturally for 1 year - anovulatory cycles)
(medicated Fertomid cycles for 5 months)
BFP - 1 Sept 2015 - un medicated cycle
TTC baby #2 - October 2017
BFP - 3 January 2018

TTC baby #3 in 2021

AFM....I'm on CD14 (2DPO) This month is my first cycle of Fertomid which I had to take from Day3-7. Got an LH surge on Day 11 so we BD'ding as much as possible at the moment. Trying not to get my hopes up and just focus on August which is when i'm booked for another diagnostic laparoscopy for my endometriosis. I think my gynae hopes i'll fall pregnant before I need the op which is what we are praying for but i'm just so over the disappointment (18x cycles) and so am just focusing on the op now! Spent this past weekend away with friends and their kiddies and they all kept saying what wonderful parents my husband and I willl make...took a lot for me not to cry. Hardest 18 months of my life

I have a feeling there will be some good news here soon!!!

@Angel, I know the feeling. I am also 9DPO and I also tested this morning - guess what???? A BFN!!! :-(

I just got my Progesterone test results and it was at 50 at 8DPO. Does anyone know what that means?

I have also experienced 90% of pregnancy symptoms but I am still not convinced.

Hi all

I could literally kick my own butt for testing this morning. Used a clicks brand white cap test and it was bfn. Only 9 dpo but I couldn't resist and now I feel somewhat off thinking that these symptoms I am experiencing are just all in the mind.

How are you doing?

@Megs - so sorry for your loss and congratulations on the impending wedding! :)
I'm sure we will both be okay and whatever happens, happens. We can't control everything in life even though we try to.

And if it happens that you are a pregnant bride - I'm sure you will be a lovely pregnant bride. :kiss:

GL and hopefully we will be lucky this month! FX

Reese, It's quite funny because I am in the same head space in terms of events coming up in the future and falling pregnant. Hubby and I aren't actually married, we are engaged but we made the decision that we would wait until our now angel baby was a year old to get married (so we booked and paid for our wedding venue for August next year). So now I am hoping to fall pregnant and have another child before then! But you know if I end up being a pregnant bride then so be it! It would be pretty amazing if I got it right though. Argh, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself but at the same time I can't help it. I am just so full of hope.


Has anyone tried that Fertipil Plus from Dischem, we are both taking it at the moment ( the male and female supplements) and I am on the clicks brand folic acid tabs just for extra help. I see the gynae today at 2, so nervous. I hope everything is back to normal. It seems to be though.

ME: 33
DF: 33
Nov 2016: BFP (baby #1) after trying for 6 months
May 2017: Lost our DD at 28 weeks (born sleeping natural birth)
AF: Returned 5 weeks post delivery (lasted 3 days), 2nd Cycle AF arrived CD30
Currently TTC baby #2 (rainbow baby) naturally
