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

morning, oops sorry Cam was born in 2008!! not 2009!! in november

gals - what websites do you use to track your cycle? Last time when i used fertility friend it cost R300 every 3 months - is there a local one or a free one any of you use??

Sue - could be an implantation dip.. holding thumbs..

funny you were all talking about the egg method as Id never heard of it until friday night and then at breakfast with family today my sister in law told me that her best friend was TTC for 5 years and had gone through fertility treatment a few times and nothing took until she tried the egg.. Im still not up for it, but no judging from me.. who knows how i would feel after a long period of time!! so for now, I am just beginning on this road and am forever hopefull

chat soon

Oh Marinda Im so sorry - Dont take your eye of the prize honey. I know its hard but Im sure something will come up. I will sen a little prayer for you. Just give DH some time - his ego is probably hugely affected by this (understandably)

Welcome Mandy! Hope your stay is short!

Tracy - sterilised with medical spirits. That might be a start to use it as lube on the outside. And to be honest I only use a very little at a time so it wasnt like it was any more **wet** then it would normally be neither did I have bits of egg run out of me But to be honest, Fertomid just about completely dried up my cm and I could not find preseed in this town and I was not about to bd all dried out like a prune. Firstly it would be a painfull as hell and secondly dont think there is much chance of conceiving if there is no cm? Anyway - desperate times call for desperate measures. Like Simone says - Try it and if it doesnt work then move along to the next thing

Simone - ai honey - what is up with that cycle of yours. Here is hoping that there is a little suprise in there for us I'm still feeling exceptionally **horny** but not so obsessed. Same, I have given DH a break for 2 days now - better get back on the horse (pun intended) tonight

AFM - Not much going on. Had a dip below coverline this morning. Maybe inplantation dip?

hi ladies,
well its been a hectic week, lots of stress, little sleep.
Dh just refuses to talk and i am tired of trying to get a point where we talk bout the issue. Im mentally exhausted. Thanks for the concern Sue. IVf is not anywhere in our price range + it would seem that without a miracle from God our dream of a child together is very slim. UiU does not seem, according to research, to be positive with his very low morphology. It all seems very hopeless + its taken a huge toll on us this week. On top of that, family know we went to fs for answers + i cant keep stalling much longer but dont want to tell the truth for fear of embarasing dh + making him feel 'useless'. On the other hand we, i, do really need the support.

Mandy : Welcome!! Hope you have a short a sweet TTC journey!

Simone : I'm 200% with Vix. You actually need to do bloods at this stage to rule out etopic. PLEASE let us know the results?!

Sue : how did you sterilize the egg first? What did you use? I'm thinking I won't go the whole hog and insert,I'll just use it as external lube,heeheeeeee...

Just a quick pop in to wish u all a good weekend!

Hayley hope you`re healing nicely!

SH andy used to do the testing and charting lists I think?? Speaking of Andy...wow you`ve been scarce!

Tanasha shopping for a girl is so bad...I could literally spend all day everyday buying for her...so hope you`ve got some savings...lol

Strikkie u and endo have timing issues! Lol. As long as u do meet eventually;-) you`ve been busy!

Claire and Mandy....goodluck with the ttc! Mandy intersting re:iron and magnesium...I'm sure u told me that before...will try and remember that.

Tracy...that egg white freaks me out..lol...but hey it works for Sue...so u know what they say...don't knock it till you`ve tried it??

Sue still horny as hell? Lol

Klk I hope Connor is feeling better! Its so good u went with your gut and went to see paed! When I went to emergency before I call my paed to meet me there!

Okay ladies...still no AF. Vix said to go do bloods...so will try and do that tomorrow morning...maybe! Don't have the time...but ya...she says more just to rule out ectopic.

Have a good weekend!

Mandy!!!

When in 2009 was Cameron born?

Hey Ladies.. Im an old Moomian but ready to start trying for number two, so HELLO!!

I had my first baby in 2009 so Im in Julz and Vickies thread for some of you that know them So CAMERON is my son and I love him to bitz!!

Excited about starting to try and finally having DH on board.. I took me a year the first time to fall preggies and Im 33 already so time is a ticking! First time I was patient and used fertility friend to track my cycle and realised I had a 40 day cycle!! After Gynae cleared me of any obvious "problems" I tried an acupuncturist and he diagnosed that i was low in iron ( just borderline) and magnesium and after taking liquid iron and magnesium for 1 month my cycle jumped to 30 days and the following month i conceived!!

I stopped taking the pill mid cycle this cycle - not so clever.. I thought this would mean I would start my new cycle within a few days but its been more than 3 weeks now and ive lost count.. so I will just wait.. guessing I must be low in iron again, so Ive bought iron and magnesium again... Might just go and see the actupuncturist again... he specialises in woman issues and fertility and is near montecasino in JHB

Anyway - Hello to all of you that i dont know yet and Im looking forward to getting to know you all better

Have a fab week end and lots of baby dust to each of you!
