I'll still keep everything crossed Mimi. Nothing really straight forward so far but feeling slightly more relaxed after another scan yesterday. All on track.

Mami I have tried those ovulation tests from trade me they are good.
This year is 7 years trying, I don't look at it in years any more too depressing. I look at every month as a new opportunity to try something different.

Omg it's so sad reading how long everyone has been trying and I know we are all getting older which scares me to death that maybe it will never happen for me and I can't afford ivf - and won't be able to get funding either!
Oxy the stuff that mami uses have you heard me it before? What is your opinion of it?

Yes I have tried microscope ovulation test you can get them on trade me cheaper than other places. I found them to be okay they do work for some people but not for everyone. here is a link to see what it is all about. I bought one a few years ago on trade me for about $20 worked fine for me. http://www.pharmacydirect.co.nz/Maybe-Baby-Easy-Ovulation-Saliva-Tester.html?gclid=CKDWlqqUwcoCFUGUvQodUbAD4g

thats good RD glad everything is trucking along nicely
even for me 5 years ago I was far too old for any kind of help,my GP did ask but said they wouldn't treat me anyhow #1 age and having had kids
I was 35 when I had #3 and back then was considered geriatric (sic)
AND I'm another year older in a few days and nearly 12 months since last M/C,so I know it can happen for me,just holding on to it is the hard part

How is everyone today/tonight?
I was talking with my friend today, who has been through a long and windy road with TTC, and she gave me some awesome advice. My mind exploded even more with facts lol.

It's funny, because it's sadly true lol.
We were talking about my cycle and she said from her experience, doing the deed on CD 10, 12, 14, 16, and ,if you're keen, 18 will get you in with a good chance. She also said that doing it every second day, instead of every day, during your fertile window, is better because it'll ensure more of a "fresh batch" of swimmers lol. Also to keep in mind that it's considered normal for it to take up to a year, so if it doesn't happen next month, it's okay to be down, have some chocolate, and look forward to trying in the next month. I so needed to hear that last point! Love her to bits.
You ladies probably know all of this already lol, but for a TTC newbie, it was fantastic information!
