we've been "trying" since february...BUT i didn't chart or use OPKs, just the 'my days' app on my phone. we weren't really on a time crunch or anything just a "when it happens, it happens" so that's why i just kept track on my phone.
18 cycles. 3 rounds of IUI and one round of IVF. I'm very thankful for science.
Me: 35/Hubs: 35 - just moved to Minneapolis from Chicago. TTC for 18 months and expecting baby #1 April 18, 2012! Needed IVF after a few failed rounds of IUI and it worked!
After 2 years of trying with PCOS, 7 rounds of Clomid/Femara, and 2 early miscarriages, we finally found success. Due on April 24, 2013!
Beta 1 (16 dpo): 477, Beta 2 (19 dpo): 1568, Beta 3 (21 dpo): 3560
Aug 24 - 5w ultrasound - 1 8mm gestational sac
Aug 31 - 6w ultrasound - 1 empty 15 mm gestational sac - possible blighted ovum - Beta 41,716
Sept 7 - 7w ultrasound - 2 sacs, heart beats, and fetal poles - TWINS!!
Baby A measuring 6w4d, Baby B measuring 6w6d
It took us 4. I started out temping and ovulation tests but my husband felt I was stressing over it too much so this last cycle I didn't do anything, didn't record when my last AF was or anything, lo and behold we hit it and I am so happy! Best of luck!
1 time - 1 cycle, then early miscarriage, next try - just 1 cycle again. I had been charted for some time but kind of stopped because I found just keeping track of my period and CM was enough. I'm very regular.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now doesn't mean it will never happen.

Re: How many cycles TTC?
I wasn't temping or anything, but used the period tracker app and make sure we got nasty on the fertile days :P
My Ovulation Chart BFP-11/10/11 ectopic. Methotrexate on 12/1/11. BFP #2-08/17/2012 FX for a ute-baby! 15DPO beta-387 HCG; 36 progesterone
I have no idea what any of this means.
Can anyone enlighten me?
I think I'm out of the loop because we weren't actively trying to conceive...
8
5 charted + OPKs.
My BFP Chart
14 with DS (coming off many years of birth control, so not sure how many of the first cycles were ovulatory).
with this pregnancy, no period for 12 months while bf'ing, then 3 cycles until pregnant .
One...i was just coming off the pill. I used an app on my phone and was getting ready to temp when I tested postive.
I was shocked...I expected a much longer wait.
