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

Tanz - so bly jy het weer kom inloer! Bly jy voel beter, maar ons almal weet dit gaan so 'n tydjie vat om weer heeltemal reg te voel. Gelukkig is dit amper vakansie ook! Sterkte jong, so baie aan jou gedink1

littlewing - my brain is VERY slow this time of year (and day). I want to remember something about you posting one post a while ago, I moght be mistaken.

So I can't remember your story etc, it would be nice if you can fill us in on all the details please.

We all on this thread know how frustrating TTC can be, once we know who you are, what has been done and all your background, we might be able to help you and direct you in the right way.

What are all you ladies up to??

Lalie - jong, ek dink ek gaan darem heeltemal te uit voel by so plek wat spesiaal vir kinders is. Plus, dit is regtig baie ver, ek verstaan nie hoekom Pta en Jhb as een plek behandel moet word nie - dis basies 60km van mekaar af. Jammer, dalk sal daar 'n ander meeting wees een of ander tyd.

Tanz - biiiigggg hugs to you! It's only natural to still feel sad but I'm so glad your back on the forum xxx

Littlewing - smoking does interfere with your egg quality and with attaching the embryo. I managed to quit smoking for a while, then started up again, then quit again - and everytime I smoked was when I had BFN!! But end is, no smoking is the best policy.

I know it is extremely hard and difficult but you HAVE to be patient. Being impatient and thinking something is wrong after only 7 months will only put more stress on you and DH and it will take even longer to fall preggos!! Trust me, I've been doing this for 18 months and here's girls here that's been ttc even way longer than I have!

It's very very normal for a couple to take up to 12 months to conceive so you still have 5 months left. How old are you if I may ask? If your under 35 an FS won't see you unless you've TTC on your own for 12 months. If your over 35, it's 6 months.

Try and stay strong - it will happen

Littlewing, it can take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive (i used to hate it when people said this though) so just relax. If you are still worried then you can ask for some of the simples tests to be done, like a SA for hubby?
Or maybe start with trying to quit smoking completely?

littlewing. This is only my second cycle but I know its hard. Smoking is not good for conceiving. Something to do with the egg attaching or something like that (one of the girls on here mentioned it before) Has your hubby been for tests?

Hello Ladies,

Well this morning I woke to Aunt Flo, lovely...and then those disappointed feelings followed. Hubby is taking it hard, wanting to know which one of us has the problem and why we cant fall preggers.

Gynae gave me the all clear but I just dont know what is wrong. So many ppl fall preggers easily with their 2nd child and here is us on to month 7.

Do you think that if I give up smoking it will increase my chances? Considering I only smoke 3 a day?

I have been eating so healthy, drinking water and trying to exercise.

I dont know how many more months of disappointment I can take, I dont even know what the next steps are. How long do we wait until we should take this further.

Strikkie...I saw that but its still very early....

Hallo ladies,

Hope you all are having agreat day! I am sooooooooo tired today! Just wanna go to bed. It is this lovely gloomy weatehr!!!!
