..and remember, before you right it off, every pregnancy is different.
I am only 4dpo and think my tests may come through tomorrow..but i will have to be strong because THAT is way too early!!!..but actually i have to say, i feel pregnant. My bbs are so sore and i have a kind of pressure aching around my womb area. Tbh, if it isnt, im not that bothered..theres always next month and i actually do mean that! Since my m/c..im not really that bothered either way. x

Thanks hun....I know thats true, but then, I only have a 9 day luteal Phase, although no one is really worreid about it as I've never had a chemical....only longer term mc's. And my progesterone is pretty good. I've had IB in the past too, and that comes quite early with me, at about 6dpo.

I'm OK, though.....I really knew it was a longshot his month! I know I'm not 100% out.....but I suspect I really am! xx

Well i will still keep my fingersx for you...and if its not your lucky month, there is always next month. x I had a chemical last time so not sure what to expect this month round wether my AF will be on time or late..a bit annoying really!

I've been using the CBFM this month - I am so excited today as I have a peak day showing!! I was a bit worried last month as I was using ovulation testing sticks (sorry - abbreviation completely escapes me at the moment) and didn't get a positive at all, so really pleased to have one this month. I'm hoping this month will be a better chart and will help throw some light on last month's too.

Hello to all you 40+ ttc ladies!
My story.....I just turned 41 and still ttc no 1 after 3 devastating m/c in the past 2 years. Was about to start ivf prior to 2 of these pregnancies but got pregnant naturally. My gynea doc has said i dont need to be wasting money on ivf but to stay on the list just in case.

Got referred to St. Marys Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic in London and they have shown a blood clotting problem. My TEG is abnormal any my anticardiolipin is slightly elevated. Next BFP i start 150 mg of aspirin + clexane injections. He said not to start aspirin before a positive test as their research has shown this is cause m/c.

My FSH is also elevated at 16 which is worrying me and my cycles have become so irregular since my first m/c ranging from 30-70 days. I am now taking agnus castus, female reproductive tablets and folic acid. Also having acupuncture and reflexology is their anything I'm missing!

Wishing you all the best and lots of July/August BFP'S! xo

Hello glitterqueen how are you?
RE: aspirin i hear so many stories. My local hospital told me to start 75mg of aspirin and St. Marys said NO. Who is right?? Im going with St. Marys treatment plan for now as they specialise in this area.
I got referred to St. Marys by a consultant at my local hospital, she wrote the letter for me while i was in having medical management with my 3rd miscarriage.
St. Marys did loads of tests dont know the names of them as i haven't received my hard copy yet. Some tests were lupas, teg, anticardiolipin dont know all the names.
Good luck and hoping you get your BFP before Oct. xo

hi patboy
i am cd19 and feel really rough between bad ibs , extreme tirdness, just thinking today i will never be a mum. been googling to much today-not a good idea- i am obsessed with the immune system and ttc, prob as I have me and fibromyalgia and am convinced it is not helping even though doc said not. just a low day i suppose x

mumoffive · Jul 6th, 2010, 16:08 PM

Oh glitterqueen, dont give up hope. xxxx
As for me..well CD21 and almost into the 1ww. However, felt so like AF was on its way. Really achey down there and lots of AF type feelings iykwim. However, my bbs are agony and i am so tired..to the point of exhaustion but who knows! I think when you get older your AF makes you feel like crap anyway so hard to tell the difference and i do get that tired way, legs tired and generally just exhausted just before my Af. I hate the 2ww. Hurry up and pass and give me an answer!!!
