Hi Cols & Hayley,

Thank you guys for the support, yes DH has been on it for about 2 month and on 4 tabs per day. Hayley we also have a 3% chance of it happening naturally :pinch: the Urolist told us IVF is the only option, and that there is no sighn of trauma so no "quick fix" to this with an op. we will see the FS in Jan but not really sure that is what I want to do as he will advise IVF and we dont have the money for this. Also living in Namibia the procedure is not done here so we will have travel to either CT or JHB to have it done and that only loads on the costs even further. but ja we will see how we feel after the December Holiday you always feel more positive in the begining of the year :)

Hayley how amzing with your first one and that you guys ended up married is wonderful hehehe life works in strange way :P

well thank you ladies and ill hold thumbs for our BFP's

Hi Hopeful,

Im so sorry you feeling rather down about the whole TTC thing.. It aint for sissies... ;)

Who told you the only thing that is left is IVF? We have been on Staminagro for about 5 weeks, i have put hubby on this due to his low sperm count - 3% so that gave us a 3% chance every month of falling pregnant naturally. My FS also said the only chance of us falling pregnant is if we do IVF, but in honesty i dont have that money and it's happened before so i believe it will happen again.

We werent trying to fall pregnant when i found out i was pregnant with Liam, hubby and i were together for 5 months and we were pregnant.

About the Staminagro, you should start off with 1 for a week, 2 tablets the next week, 3 tablets the next and so on at night before bedtime and then you and hubby should end up taking 4 tablets.
Im also on Folic Acid.

Hopeful, ask all the questions you want, we are here to support one another...

I wish you all the best :) And you will soon have your baby

Hello to all the other ladies... :)

Hayley, I hear you. Staminogro is great. I'm on it again and folic acid. Taking 2 / day.

Hopeful, I am sorry you are down about ttc :( I used it with my pregnancy too. You gradually increase your dosage. wk 1 = 1 tablet each. wk 2 = 2 etc until you reach 4. DH and I both took them every day. I also took folic acid.

My SIL and BIL - he had deformed sperm, my sister and her DH etc all had success with it.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I am keeping myself scares here for my own sanity but I have never stopped following all your stories I have just stopped posting as I am pretty “moedeloos” with this whole TTC thing it just feels like it will never happen and the only hope that we have left is IVF and with low success rate that scares me even more.
Any way DH has a super low SA only 3 mil living :cry: he is on Staminagro. Hayely I know you and DH are also on this? Is this just an extra measure or is there also a low SA? How about your first angel did you struggle the first time round as well? Also on how many tablets staminagro are you guys? I am really sorry for all the personal questions :blush:
I am not currently on Staminagro as we live in Namibia and it SUPER expensive here double the price, but we are going to SA in December and will then stock up on this from Dischem and then prob I will also start to take it.

Any way Baby Dust to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cols, sorry to hear you have a sick baba... :( Not fun when they sick...

Well if anything, i HIGHLY recommend Staminagro for yourself and hubby... It's most certainly done it's job for us both..

Im thinking of testing on the 25 November... Thats another week from Friday... But not feeling any different, 6DPO and im constantly hungry and tired, im thinking it's this heat... :unsure:
