TTC 2012 Group Year of the ball, Year of the bump

Hey Simone, as fate would have it, you and i my friend are in the same boat... i joined fertility frend yesterday and finally worked out how long my cycle has been. and I didnt realise I am on day 42!! really, I am quite shocked, but honestly I keep on forgetting to take the iron and magnesium so I think thats the only way i can sort it out.. Ive also been testing and i tested last monday which would have been about day 35 for me and it was BFN and so I went to see a pharmacist today and he said go and test again... but he said that unless there is pain, i am very likely fine with a very long cycle.. he says some people only have a period every 3 months.....!! GRRR didnt want to hear that.. I asked, but maybe the gynae can give me some type of pill to MAKE me have my periods and so he said, nope hes never heard of that Im feeling like you - in that its great to be TTC, but theres no point til i get AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this is what ive decided to do.. SERIOUSLY take iron, magnesium and a multivitamin DAILY and also make an appointment with an actupuncturist. If i find out anything that i think might help you, I will share and please do the same for me.. ( if you dont mind )

It wouldnt harm doing a gynae check up, however, last time I did that it cost me R1500 in blood tests to be told that there was nothing wrong and to keep trying.. so I want to try to solve this myself first - and for me last time the actupuncturist sorted me out within a month... It might have been a fluke, but im willing to give it a shot!!

About the lady giving you false hope, thats really terrible !! that must have been so awful and I am so with SUE, now at least you can have a BEEGGGG glass of wine.. sorry about the job too hon !!

Aaaah,I'm sorry Simone! And even sorrier it went down like THAT! I hope she appologised prefusely!!
Please make an app with your gynae though,just so you get a clearer idea of where to go from here. He will bring your af on,and then you can surge ahaed at least knowing what's going on...

I agree with TTC for a girl/boy. We would like to think some factors contribute to a girl vs a boy etc,but honestly,I have learnt that a bfp alone is a gift,and I will just be too happy for that alone.
We will have what we are meant to have...

Didn't realise I'd feel so emotional...very weepy. Hubby was also getting his hopes up. Now I'm left wondering why no AF and I'm almost on CD50 at this point...

I`ll be okay...just been a bad day all round...founf out I didn't get the job I applied for either..but anyways..will make appointment for end April if still no AF...but obviously ttc is off the table if no periods! Lol.

Oh simone sorry honey - how absolutely horrible! I understand completely how that feels After my last mc I had to go for bloods to check if there is still hcg hanging around and when I phoned the sister said that it was positive and i seem to be pregnant again. Luckily I asked for the date on the test and then realised it was an old one. Not something I will wish on my biggest enemy. Hugs honey xxx On the upside - atleast you know now. Have a beeeeeeeeeeg glass of wine. Tomorrow the sun will shine again

OMW!! Simone, I would be angry and devastated at the same time, this is one test you dont want someone to duff up. Im sorry that it was a negative BIG HUGS

TaNasha, I agree. There is a 50/50 chance, so just do the deed and hope that the baby is healthy that is all.

aah Im so sorry Simone x

It was a little bit cruel...when the results finally came 3hrs late the receptionist said it was positive...then got flustered and said she needed to speak to doctor.

She then just called me now and said doctor said its negative:-( she gave my results when my daughter was born...so not sure how she mucked it up. Guess i`ll have to go see gynae at some point....

I'm a bit sad now cause I knew it was negative...then she tells me positive...really got me on a high to a low...
