We weren't trying, but we weren't preventing...

huge surprise! We were actively trying NOT to get pregnant.

That's what we were doing as well.  We thought we'd try that for about a year and see what happens.  It took all of 3 months.  It was just meant to be.

3 years, surgery, IUIs, 2 M/Cs and 4 rounds of IVF. 

I just need to say that, "Not trying but not preventing" is indeed trying.

You are purposely forgoing contraception in hopes that it will result in a pregnancy.  I don't understand the stigma around "trying". You wanted a baby, right?

Oh we were trying.  16 cycles of ovulation strips, herbs, preseed, etc.  Got my BFP on our 2nd cycle of clomid.  That was a really hard year for me, my heart goes out to all the women who have a hard time conceiving, luckily i was able to in over a year which is really short in comparison to some women.  I can't imagine their pain, they are very strong women.

I've never understood the "we weren't trying, but we weren't preventing" line. If you're not using any protection, you're trying imo.
