@Jaybee ok so have counted yesterday as CD1 then and i'll start tomorrow with the Fertomid. Fingers crossed AF stays away!!!! xxx
@Bmb praying AF stays away for you too!!! Keep us posted xxx
@Cands enjoy your time off hun and i'm sure 2018 will have lots in stores for you xxx

Feeling better today, felt so totally miserable & helpless yesterday. Just can't even think of doing this again & again & again. But will stick it out till the end of the year then maybe time for a break. I just can't understand WHY - if everything is working properly & hubbys swimmers are so good my FS calls him Superman then WHY isn't it working?? Maybe my eggs aren't viable...maybe they're just old and shrivelled :( :( Made me so sad yesterday I opened my one bedroom drawer, there's two hpt's in there - one cheapie and one CB digital which I bought in March 2016 - it expires in June 2018 :( made me cry

Anyway its boiling in CPT today and actually could do with a braai & a glass of wine. May see if Hubby is keen! He was out last night he went to see LIVE concert with his buddies at the Grand West only got home after midnight so he's prob looking forward to the couch!!!

have a great day ladies xxxx

@Jaybee my gynea never ordered a progesterone before only lh level after my first round of Fertomid nothing after my second round so if im gonna have to start a third round im gonna make a app just to be safe and to check if the meds didnt do any harm to my ovaries altho im feeling fine.
Poor SO seems confident that this is our month but the waiting game is on however usually a week befor or even two i usually spot a pimple on my chin and SO on his nose or so but nothing so far so i dont also want to look to much into it.
Just wish this week can fly by.

Ps, for some reason I am depressed and think I am out, maybe because I was hoping for a higher progesterone result. Symptom spotting way too much (have so many symptoms) and when I had my first I had no symptoms at all only tender BB's and that was only from 6DPO. Hoping AF arrives on time and should be here on Friday/Saturday so if not then I can test on Sunday.

@ Nicola, :tmi: I read that if you need to use a tampon/pad then its CD1 and if you only need to use a panty liner then it's spotting and does not count. Its so confusing, I don't count slight spotting but when the spotting increases then I use that as CD1

@ Cands, your break sounds wonderful. Take it easy then come back full swing

@ BmB, how are you doing?

AFM, I read that one should go half way in your luteal phase so I went for my Progesterone test yesterday and it was 34.2. I am hoping that if I went a day later that it would've been higher. To confirm ovulation your result needs to be between 16-60 so I am praying that my result was high enough.

Morning all,

@bridgeymich I am soo incredibly sorry to hear that :'( I can't even imagine the heartache!

AFM, I am waiting for my period so that I can start Minulette. I have to be on it foe two months before I can start the official IVF process. So I think by end of January next year we will begin IVF. I am excited and nervous.

So not much news is going to come from me for the next few months, since baba making will be on hold for now. Got a 6 week break before starting my new job in January so hubby and I are going to just enjoy the married life and each other's company without the stress of trying for a baby.

Next year will be our year.

Baby dust all and many hugs!!
