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

Tracy...I did an OPK on Monday and yesterday, and the test line only became lighter...but on Monday morning, like 00h30 I woke up, went to the loo, and man oh man was I in pain...so hope that was when OV also happened

Hi ladies.

We are a victim of Telkom copper wire theft so we have now found out, 180 meters of it. So no internet, email, fax etc until Telkom gets the wire replaced.
SO, I'm still on my phone. So no pic's from me SH, sorry!!!

SH : Nope, no egg just yet. Did another opk last night, never ever have had a test line SO dark before. And I was still super sore last night, today sore on the right a little bit now. Main pain is gone so I think ov happened early hours this morning.

Momtoc : Woohoooo for your scan on Monday!!! Lying on your stomach definately helps ladies with a tilted cervix (retrovereted uterus to be scientifically correct).
That's why I am doing as I have a very badly retroverted uterus.
So any ladies out there with a tilted cervix, stomach stomach stomach.....lying with your hips up does NOT help, it makes TTC even harder actually.
So momtoc, you officially have helped prove that "theory" 100% correct!

Mbm : Yes, Pregnacare is over the counter. Is is basically a vitamin for preconception. It just has natural ingredients that favour TTC. So it's not a fertility drug if that's what you thought it was possibly. It's apparently all the rage overseas, and they are now telling IVF patients to use it while doing IVF. They really have alot of faith in this vitamin it seems.

Chanz : I would rather go natural for a little longer (just my personal opinion here). Enjoy TTC again....getting a BFP on your first IUI again is not guaranteed at all, and you don't want to build up the TTC stress so soon without trying naturally again for a little bit at least I don't think...but that's just my opinion. You will know what's right for you friend.

Hi to all the other ladies!!!

AFM : Agggg....still not winning. The man of the hour is getting sick (flu it seems), and he NEVER EVER gets sick. So he fell asleep last night feeling like poo before we got to do anything. SOOOO....the perfect ovulation goes wasted....
Oh well, onto the next cycle. I am not telling him a THING next month. We will just go with the flow & I'll keep my bodily functions top secret.
AND he made me go for the free injections they do here at work every year (flu & vitamin . I opted out of the flu injection as they always make me more sick than getting flu naturally does. He made me do the vitamin B injection - and MANNNN do I hate those!!! So I'm not a very happy chappy here today.....

Have a lovely day ladies!
Sorry for the long post...

Morning Ladies

MW2B - enjoy the BDing today, hope it results ina BFP! Didn't know I could get Pregnacare OTC! Seems I still have lots to learn lol

Momtoc - wow - its almost time for the scan! Yippee

Chanz - If you did IUI on BFP1 hwy not try it naturally for a while before going teh IUI route again? If there's no luck in getting a BFP naturally after some time, then perhaps consult FS and go with IUI again... but then again IUI may be your baby dust!

SH - fx that thBDing will pay off!

AFM - amin serious pain! thought the Agnucaston FS prescribed was supposed to help with all these symptoms - maybe will have to get used to it first though! Clotting like crazy! Does anyone know what I can do to stop that?

Anywho - its off to work again.... chat laters ladies

ello Ladies,

how is everyone doing today?

momtoc: wow never really thought of laying with my tummy - coz most of the time people mention laying with ur hips under the pillow - interesting... thanks for the info good luck for ur 1st scan let us know how it goes...

Hayley : u are awfully quiet - hope all is well? we miss u!

AFM : still spotting not that much though2nyt is our BD session again

how is evryone else holding up?

Hello hello hello

How you all doing?

Tracy, Has that eggie popped out yet? LOL Maybe those painful O pains are a really good sign. I had terrible terrible O pains last cycle & couldn't even go to the gym. It was even so difficult to just walk......
Laughing so hard right now cause of the stage fright........shame, poor man probably felt like he was the main attraction that night & had to perform like his life depended on it I think it's a good idea to keep all the "technical" thingies to yourself to take the pressure off him hahahaha

MW2b, Not really sure what is causing the pinkish CM & so on as I've never experienced it. Like SH said, it might be an infection or uterus being irritated. I don't think it's AF as that would be very, very early in your cycle How is it today?

wbm, How's the AF symptoms treating you today? You feeling ok?

Chanz, nice to hear from you again. I think it doesn't matter what route you choose - IUI, IVF or natural...........there is always a 50/50% chance of falling preggies the 1st time around. You were lucky to manage only 1 IUI with your son but who knows if it will work like a charm the 2nd time.........Yes, you have to think positive that it will but need to be prepared if it doesn't. Are you guys deciding on the IUI route again?

Hayley, where you hiding girl??????? How is the packing going?

AFM, nothing much going on. Still feel fine. The pain & cramping has luckily gone away for now. Going for our 1st scan on monday.....very excited. Can't wait to tell my lg.

Just some info for interest sake..........the only thing we did differently last month was that I turned on my stomach afterwards & stayed like that for 20 mins each time.......very comfy position to just lie there & fall asleep hahahaha & I was & still am on Inofolic but don't think it was that that helped us cause I was only on it for 3 days before I ovulated & I had massive O pains on cd20 - started getting it late afternoon & I made damn sure we worked in a session that night.........pain & all

Well, that's me for now.

Hi there ladies

How are you all doing?

Chanz...nice to see you hear LOL Mmm...I guess you should decide for yourself...do you want to continue trying natural, or do you just want to cut out all the "hard work" and go straight for IUI...you never know if it will work again the first time or not, that is the chance you have to take...but good luck on your TTC journey as well

Tracy....have you OVed yet?????

Any news from the preggy faires???

Wow...still have this weird back ache....hope that is a good sign though We did BD on cd16, 17 and 18...and now DH is working nightshift, so hope that was enough!! On cd20 today...so I'm saying I am 20 days pregnant

Hayley...where are you??? You have been rather quiet this week....

Hello Ladies

Sorry for being so a lazy poster LOL

How is everyone?

Tracy- glad you in the process of ovulating. Looks like this pregnacare seems to be the new magic pill. I started it last month and it lengthened my cycle to 29 days. And I felt ovulation more than usual.

Hello to everyone else. Hope you all getting enough bding in to catch those eggies. Really hope this streak of BFPs keeps rolling

AFM- cd5 for me. Af has actually been alot gentler on me since giving birth. It's a huge relief compared to how bad my af's used to be. So this month hubby carries on with sperm-i-prove (4 month on it), I carry on the glucophage and pregnacare conception.

Quick question- Our first IUI worked last year and we had Michael. Curious, what's the chances of having that luck second time round? Any success stories? Would it be silly to do one round of IUI and if it doesn't work then wait?

Hope you all have a great evening
