Hi Ladies...
So since AF banging appearance Saturday its seems as its about to go MIA so this throws me completely of the radar re.ovulation instead of investing in kits and test will my best bet be to do it every other day?
So now im starting my new round of Fertomid the 18th,i also asked my gynea earlier to look at my SO sperm count and its abit low :-( she advised to get Spermaid so which will be a better bet as ive seen some mention Sperm.i.Prove.
Stay warm mommies and mommies to be "soon"

oooh @salemein sounding very promising!!! I would keep doing one every day and just see...if they that cheap then its worth it! Send us a pic so we can see!!! Glad things are going so well for you hun and congrats on the housing loan! it really helps sometimes by just taking a step back and regrouping for a bit hey. Thinking of you and please keep us posted! xxxx

That's something I was going to mention as well is the sex drive thing....anyone have any remedies to get the mojo back? Its been such a long almost 2yrs of ttc that I think we've kind of forgotten what it was like before! I just don't seem to have much interest even now during ovulation, think my body and mind just feels exhausted from the constant disappointment every month that its kind of taken away my mojo! Anybody taking any natural herbal things to help at all?

Monday is almost done. and its raining again here got the buckets out!!

Hi ladies

long time no chat :)

I've been keeping an eye here and there, saw that we have had great news and not so great. I hope you all are still standing strong :).

AFM, I know I said we were done trying but I just couldn't help myself with tracking, doing ovulation tests and trying different supplements. I have eventually told my husband that maybe he should also try some stuff seeing that every time I tell him that I ovulate is like there is just no sex drive what so ever. So we both started drinking stamino gro, I have friends that swear by it and he has started using testo supplements and well, we have been like honeymooners :tmi: ;) I ovulated on the 11th so would now be about 5dpo. I bought a bunch of cheep pregnancy tests last week and they were delivered this afternoon, and seeing as I developed a liking of poas I decided to use one and within like a minute or two got a faint positive line. oky so I do not want to get exited because its only 5dpo, way to early right? second its cheap test, like 3 rand one so maybe they are not accurate or maybe I used it wrong and got an evap???? Kian's angelversary is coming up in 3 weeks and I think that if this is a legit positive that it will make his birthday just a little bit more bearable? it has been going good with us, our housing loan was approved and so forth so maybe its not crazy to think that there is a bun in the oven? PS: I have never ever gotten such a faint line or such a clear evap line before...

Hi Girls,

How is everyone doing?

@NicolaF and Carien Thank you so much friendies for the good vibes!

@Cands - I have definitely had some "symptoms" but I do not know if its due to the progesterone supplements I am taking or if its early pregnant symptoms?

Symptoms Thus Far:

1. Side Splitting Headache it comes and goes but its BAD!
2. Tiredness I am struggling permanently to keep my eyes open!
3. Feeling queasy - I was nauseous this morning it comes and goes
4. Increased appetite - This is like opposite to the nausea I just want to eat everything in sight hahhaa!!
5. Emotion I am so emotional since yesterday I am crying about everything!!
6. I have been getting hot flushes and my temp has gone up my base line temp is normally 36.0 - 36.1 it was 36.3 this morning

Its so difficult to know if these are real symptoms or just the progesterone?

I will keep you guys updated :-)

Is there anyone here that was on IVF with a BFP and what was your symptoms?

Morning ladies, hope everyone had a relaxing weekend.

My heart really goes out to every lady who struggles with infertility. Those who find it easy to conceive will never understand just what you are going through. Please know that I am praying with you for your little bundle to arrive

@Cands - 2 days to go!
@Mommiez - super super excited for you!! may the 2ww be as short as possible
@MaybeBaby & NicolaF - I pray that you guys get that BFP by xmas
@Jay-Bee - may the lines ever be in your favour!

AFM - not quite in the 2ww as yet, think I will only ovulate during the course of the night/tomorrow. We put in our attempt to catch the eggie this weekend and now we pray and hope this is our cycle. Other than that we didnt do much this wekened. I got some more roses for my garden and we saw my inlaws yesterday. My oldest son is back at school tomorrow (THANK GOODNESS!!) he is soooo bored at home and loves school so I think him and us are looking forward to him being back in school.

Hope everyone has a great week :)

Morning everyone! How are all of you holding up? @mommiez any symptoms yet? Goodness that is exciting!

I am going to my FS on Wednesday to officially start our next round. This will be our first round at a proper FS! i am so very excited and I really feel this is the one. So many of my friends got preggie first round with this clinic so I will remain positive.

Have a great day everyone :)

@Mommiez woooohooooooo!!!!!!! so happy! we'll be here with you all the way xxxx
@jaybee thanks hun will keep you all posted. Will have to do a few days of blood tests until I get the LH surge so they usually sms me the minute they see a surge so hopefully it will be within a few days....i'm not a fan of needles! has AF arrived yet? xx

Morning ladies

I hope you all had a good weekend and managed to put your worries aside. Hubby and I took some time for ourselves on fri night which doesn't happen often, we own a business together and its always WORK WORK WORK. Poured with rain here in CPT yesterday (yay!!) So I made a huge cake been craving home made icing! we both felt sick last night haha but its almost like it kicked me into gear, I know i desperately need to get into the gym and start letting those endorphins smother me with happiness so starting fresh today!!

Just wanted to say have a good week and don't forget you are beautiful and you are strong. We will get through this stage of our lives together xxx
Sending lots of love and LOTS of babydust
