Hope everyone is ok?
xxHi - thanks for the welcome
I will try to read back a bit to get to know you all!
Where is the testing page - Page one?
I think I will test this sat - 10 DPO but have a 15 day LP. So AF is not due till next Friday.
I have been TTC since 2003
Not very successfully
I will try to give my story briefly: Just went off BCP in May 2003 - July 2003 had a chemical but did not know what that was then - just a line then nothing -
Early September 2004 - preg again - blighted Ovum - miscarried naturally in November 2004.
March 2005 - an early MC
June 2006 - an early MC
Medical history - asked for testing after my 2nd MC - got various tests including thyroid - was told it was fine. Spring 2005.
June 2006 went to another doc - mentioned I had seen at times brown spotting Mid-cycle - she thought it was low progesterone and had me go on Sups.....
Since then no pregancies that have showed on pee sticks.... I had very bad cramping once mid-cycle this past spring and thought it was related to a pregnancy that did not develop. This past September I had a 10 when got a Beta day 12 - I think it was. But I think my problem has been my thyroid - at least a problem....Could be more
I was told in 2005 my thyroid was normal but had begun to feel worse and on TWW this summer read about sub-clinical hypothyroidism.
So in August at the gyno requested my thyroid be checked - again I was told it was normal at 3.123.
I got pills after researching on the internet what to take and it has been amazing. I had my first ever (non BCP) menstrual period that was not heavy and clotty. I had asked about that to a few doctors since TCC and all said it was fine
My hair stopped falling out - I always thought it was normal to loose so much. I began menstruating at 13 - so have had hypothyroidism at least since then but think the past couple years it got worse. I have color in my cheeks - never did without blusher - it is amazing I am not pale and have more energy. The poster on TWW said guidlines for hypothyroidism changed in 2001 but many docs use the old guidlines - so 3 and over is hypothyroid but to become pregnant and carry to term 1-2 is recommended.
Wheeew - sorry for the long explaination - I am 39 - was 33 when began TTC - will see if he meds help - who knows.... I began meds mid - sept - day after clinic gave me my results....
Took Femara in Sept - think worked well - but did not take this cycle as thought DP would be traveling alot in my fertile time. so now just natural - if not preg this cycle am taking Femara again. I think now I will need it for good eggs.
So that is my TCC history as condensed as possible!
Will go back a few pages to learn more about you guys.

xxThanks for the tip Nicky - will check out journals - don't have one myself tho.
Well it is funny that I thought aside from probably being too heavy my cycles were normal - clockwork and got EWCM.... And thought it was just bad luck had not got preg since 2006 or DP was getting older as well....
But must have been my thyroid worsened as I felt more tired as well - and less creative but it was gradual...
But OK now and am going to pump myself full of Femara to get super strong Eggies
I love all the cute smilies that are on Baby and Bump - Sorry if overdo them in the begining they are so cute. I am on TWW and often cannot find a smiley to express my mood
Friday but won't have more than one!

PS testathon is the right word!

Morning Pingus!
Welcome Cedar ... sorry your journey so far has been long and tough, hopefully you will get a strong sticky egg soon and all the pingu ladies are so lovely and supportive.
As for me I am currently waiting to pick up the keys, just looked through the pictures I have of the house I think I forgot how horrendous it looks at the moment and how much work there is to do, I think we are going to take photos during the process so we can look back and see what we have achieved. As soon as I have the key I am going to see how easily I can get the wallpaper off the walls and if I need a steamer! hmm! Fingers crossed it comes off easily. Also we are going fireworks tomorrow night I think, well Dave is going it depends if Im feeling a bit better in the flu department coz I dont want to spread it or get wet and cold standing outside!
Anyone got plans for the weekend? x x x

Morning pingus 
welcome to our buddy thread Cedar and sorry to hear of your long ttc problems. Those tabs sound very promising and I hope the get you a lovely healthy bwan very soon. Just briefly, I'm 33, DH is 37, trying for our first since dec 08 and I've had 2 bfp this year, but sadly 2mc. Like you, I've had a BO and a chemical. Best of luck to you
H&F - it'll be worth the hard work when it's all done, I promise!

Hi all - thanks for the welcome
I am on Moscow time - so up a bit earlier than you UK gals.
Poshie sorry to hear that....
At the risk of sounding obsessive - I recommend getting your thyroid checked if haven't already - and asking for the numbers. It may not be the same problem as myself but if I was properly diagnosed, I think I would have had a child by now....
Low thyroid can lead to problems concieving as well as ealry MC's.... Tho not the only cause one of the more common.
Hopeand faith - new house - cool
Thats sounds lots of fun and a chance to be creative!
Nicky - I saw you posted earlier about symptoms - I will share!
I have been having cramping since O - first thought was post O cramps as have heard of those but they have not stopped. On and off twinges - cramps and pains - all over lower region....
I had this last cycle as well - so cramping/twinges could just turn out to be a normal medicated cycle for me
Washing my hair last night - reaching up - felt a pain in hip bone - hmmmm
Creamy white CM - consistent since O - first was mixed creamy with rubbery after EWCM.
Thats about it for now Am having lunch in a boho cafe - playing 'Jungle Rock' at the mo - sounds like 1950's rock n roll - so feel like a jig
