My husb. and I have been TTC since the beginning of the year. Today, I am 4 days late for my AF, and while I have been fairly regular the past several months, I understand that late happens sometimes. I have taken a few HPTs (I have the Waldo ones, which I order from Amazon.com), most recently this AM, all BFN. I have always been fairly fertile (2 children from a prev. marriage & former egg donor), but my husb. has no children and a low/normal SC. So each month we have been trying, so far without any results. Of course the first two times I was pregnant, I wasn't keeping track of my cycles or ovulation or anything, and as I recall it was all so easy. I don't know which is worse, the BFN or waiting for "Day 1". I have a Dr appointment on Nov 5th, and plan to talk with him more about any ideas/suggestions he may have. The last chemical BC I was on was Depo (Sept '11), which supposedly wore off in December. My AF resumed her monthly visits in Jan, so I assume I am fertile. I am hoping we will eventually be successful and we can proceed with our plans, including a homebirth. My second was born at home, and having done "the hospital thing" with my first...well...let's just say NEVER AGAIN...at least not unless there are complications.

Best of luck!
Finally "day one" arrived... 7 days late. I have to say in all my reading, one of the frustrating things was hearing stories, but never knowing the outcome, so I figured I would settle mine. Thx!
