   Hugs! TTC is surprisingly hard!
 
 Have you been to see a nathuropath? I went to one the same time as I started the IVF tests & low & behold we got preg that cycle!! I swear it's what he put me on.

   My weight loss is going just fine, have lost 8kgs in 4 months now, but if I don't hit the required BMI in time for being 38.5 then that's what our plan is regardless - not meaning to sound fruity but $$$ is not an issue when it comes to fertility and striving for what we really want most in life.

   Aliasmom yes tried a naturopath for 7 months :(. No pregnancy. That's why we went to Repromed, and instantly pg, and it has 'worked' twice. A break is what we need now :)

   UPDATE: As you can see from my ticker...
 
I did charting with the girls in the Charting thread! No clomid, no fertility clinic!
 From charting I discovered that I ovulate, then my LH rises and shows a positive test on the kits 2 days AFTER ovulation - extremely unusual, but apparently not unheard of. No wonder we couldn't conceive for a year after our first natural pg, cause we relied on LH kits. Plus I was on clomid which dries up the cm... the things you learn! So if you don't chart already, get into it! Fingers x'd I last the distance this time, I am on twice daily injections of 0.2mls of heparin for 6 months, and a baby aspirin a day to help it all stick! I will also get fortnightly scans at the fertility clinic for 18 weeks just to keep an eye on things.
 Thanks everyone for your support in this thread.

   Today's bloods aren't quite so flash so I am not holding hopes - but the hope is that we CAN do this ourselves... just wish it would all just go smoothly.

   I hope this one sticks!  
 
 I know in Auckland at least we have a repeat miscarriage service, where if you've had 3 miscarriages they will monitor you from the time you get your BFP.  Two friends of mine went through there and came out with babies, so it might be worth looking into.

   Cheers Jade, we don't have that service 'as such' down here, but I pay for the guidance of Repromed (private clinic).
