Post #1

So, I thought I would sum up our TTC journey so far.

We decided in Aug 2008 to officially start to try to have a baby. I began charting BBT and all of that to figure out what my best and most fertile days would be. My first cycle was anovulatory and lasted until October. My cycles returned to normal (ovulatory and less than 35 days on average) over the next few months.

In December 2008, we had to find a new place to live (living with FIL wasn't working out to say the least). During that time, we took a break from charting and just continued to TTC the old-fashioned way. We found a beautiful new home (that is all ours!) and moved in February 2009.

In April, I decided to start charting again. Since then, I have used OPK's, tried green tea, and Evening Primrose Oil (to increase EWCM), taken PNV's, used Pre-seed, and peed on lots of sticks. Still no BFP's.

This month we are on to cycle #10. It is very discouraging to think that we are coming so close to the 1 year mark. I never expected to be in this situation, and never anticipated any fertility issues. Some days I feel very sad and other days excited to keep trying. Hopefully, we will see those 2 precious lines soon!
