My husband and I have been trying to concieve baby number 2 for 14 months. I am seen as obese but i am a healthy fit active person. My dr failed to treat me for a reoccuring pain in my left hand side 2 weeks befor every period. Fertility clinic said I was obese so they sent me to an Obesity clinic who said they could not help because i was actively TTC. My periods are as regular as clock work every 31 days. I was 4 days late this month and thought that i may be pregnant. However i came on today so i am very upset to say the least has anyone got any advice for me. Im 37 next month so age is another concern of mine.x

Hi~
Don't give up! The key is to pinpoint your actual ovulation and go from there. Do you have a regular GYN? Have her schedule you for all of the tests such as 21 day bloods, progesterone etc. to find out if you ovulate and if there are any hormonal issues. Sign up on fertilityfriend.com and purchase a basal thermomater and start to temp. You input your temps into fertilityfriend.com daily and watch for trends in your cycles. From that site you will know when and if you ovulate and its full of other tips. Basic membership is free so there are no costs involved.
Good luck and do not give up hope. There are lots of ladies on this Board over 35 who are pregnant, TTC or are going through the same things you are. Its a wealth of knowledge and experience here, utilize it!

Hey Girl,
I agree, don't give up. I have a co-worker who is obese and she had no problem getting pregnant. Are you using any method to pinpoint when you ovulate? That's pretty important, maybe you're just not hitting the right day. Please don't be sad, we're all here for support and we're all in similiar situations, we just all want our bfps. It will happen, but please do get tested and see if you can get a BBT, or OPK or CBFM or something to help you out.
Okie dokie!!!
