Hi, I had a miscarriage in April and have had no luck getting preggers again. I start Clomid tomorrow. I am excited but really nervous. Could use any encouraging words! I am also 37 and am worried I am getting too old to do this.

I am new to the site but I have been using the cbfm and last month, no PEAKS ! I am confused because I see cm and noticed an abundance of it last month. Technically, I have been using the monitor for 4 cycles, in which DH has been out of town for two, ugh ! If the monitor doesn't show PEAK, but I see CM does this mean I didn't ovulate. Technology vs good-ole fashion testing(site).
