Hello,


When is your period due? If its it the 31st (the day you said you would test) it is way to early to get symptoms. Also, I use to have heavy periods too. Once I hit my 20s, it went down to 2 days and light. My RE, General Doctor and OB/GYN say that is normal and not to worry about it. I have had lots of blood work and tests...everything is normal. You could always talk to your OB/GYN. Also unexplained weight gain can happen as you get older. It becomes harder to lose.

Hello,


From what I have read, Cervical Position and Cervical Mucus cannot not determine if you are pregnant or not. I think

Here is some info on checking cervical fluid. I do not really do it. I just know EWCM is your most fertile time

Hello,


After a year of trying, you should goto an RE to have bloodwork done and possible an UltraSound. Also have your dh get a sperm analysis done. I am 34 and very capable of having children. We have a male factor that is making it difficult.


Good Luck! Keep us posted.
