    Keeping my fingers crosses Newcook. Very exciting.
    I need to find out where I can get some of this this water that everyone is drinking :p

    CD12 today but still no sign of OV yet. We are having a go at the more relaxed every other day approach for the minute just to make sure I don't miss OV. This means I am hoping to do the BD tonight.

    Wow lots of BFPs since i last came on, big congratulations!

    I went to see my GP a couple of weeks ago and had blood tests for something unrelated to TTC but I did mention we were TTC to the doc and she requested that I also have my FSH/LH levels checked just to rule out PCOS. Anyway, got the results back last week and although i dont have PCOS, my FSH level is slightly elevated for my age which (according to Dr Google) could indicate diminished ovarian reserve. Although my doc never said this, she just fobbed me off saying not to worry yet and give it a few more months as these levels vary each month, I should go back in 3 months and get my levels retested along with the day 21 test. Being a complete worrier i googled my FSH level and thats how i found out its not good. So now im trying everything to improve my egg health, CoQ10, Vitamin E, eating healthier, moderate exercise etc. So feeling pretty rubbish at the moment, really need to stop googling FSH levels!

    I'm still not temping but using OPKs and it looks like my cycle will be 26 days this month, last month it was 29, i wish it would just settle into a normal pattern!

    Mouse - Can i be added to the list please? Alex_88 TTC #1 since 09/15. I'm also 4DPO so could i be moved to the TWW please?

    Hi all.
    Sorry for the recent silence.
    Last Tuesday I got my much longed for BFP. Did several tests, of course, and at the weekend we finally started to believe it. On Sunday evening I started to spot and kept telling myself this could be perfectly normal, but then on Monday, it became clear I was having an early miscarriage. Spent the last few days trying to process all of this. both physically and mentally.

    On the one hand, at least it shows everything is working (up to a certain stage, at least), and I have to tell myself that it has happened for a reason. On the other hand - well, I just feel distraught that we finally got our hopes up and they were crushed so quickly.

    Anyway, I'm sorry for being so miserable today. I'm going to take a bit of a break for a while, at least until I get back on track with my cycle again.

    Good luck to everyone (especially the long termers). I hope you all get your BFPs really soon and they stick :)
    xx

    Jojo I am so sorry to hear you are going through this - the same thing happened to me in December and I had both medical and then surgical. If you have any questions or want to vent please don't hesitate to send me a message xx

    Hi All,

    Sorry I've been quiet lately, I got a BFP a couple of weeks ago and it's now turned out to be a missed miscarriage. I had a scan and there was a gestational sack but nothing in it. I've now got to go to an early pregnancy unit to see what treatment they are going to give me; I'm hoping for medical rather than surgical. So, pretty depressing, all in all. I think I'm going to call it a day for a while after this, so good luck and hugs to all of you, hope things turn out better than they have for me x
