We had tried for a year on our own, than almost a year of fertility treatments. This past June we decided to take a break from treatments and drugs, and in september we got pregnant. So yes we were trying but I had pretty much given up on the idea of us conceiving on our own
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
Technically I guess I was #1, but I was told it would be so hard for us to get pregnant that I had given up hope.
I was supposed to start Clomid two weeks after we got our BFP, and I didn't even think that would work.
We were doing everything to get KTFU, but I was pretty sure it would never happen...and voila!
Preppy I just read your whole thing in your signature! I had no idea you went through so much to get pregnant, and here I thought we had gone through a lot(clomid/femara and IUIs). Have you told a lot of ppl that you are pregnant?? We have told a few close friends and some family, but thats it. I am a little nervous about 2nd tri just around the corner. I just feel Im not ready to tell everyone right now, Im nervous a bit, and yeah not sure what else is keeping me from wanting to tell others. Just wondered if you felt the same way?

I chose other but I'm closest to option one. I was only charting CM, CP, and symptoms, not temping. We focused sex around when I assumed I was o'ing. Did everything except temping!
Edit to add: I was also drinking green tea and taking Mucinex up until O to increase CM!
I was initially going to say number one but really our timing was off (so we thought) and we didn't think that was our month. We wanted to get pregnant but we didn't think it would happen then and weren't trying that hard core yet.
I had been off BCP for a year and paying attention to CM and ovulation symptoms for 6 months to avoid since DH felt he wasn't ready. DH finally came around after a long conversation (I suspected our "avoiding" hadn't gone well that month) and we got pregnant that month. DH said he would never get over his fears and just needed to be "thown into the deep end". Well, here we are.
After a year of Clomid/Femara I had just started my Follistim/IUI cycle. Timing was completely off (or so I thought). I only had one follicle and was expecting more. I was supposed to give myself an hcg shot but I didnt have it. I had to wait until the following day. Then when I did my DH wasnt available for an IUI so we had TI 2 days before O and the day before O. We missed O date. Anything I thought would go wrong that cycle did.
I was getting ready to start the IVF process, call the nuse etc because I was so certain that TI wouldnt work. I tested at 11dpo and got a BFP!

My BFP Chart
I was charting - due to 52 and 53 day cycles in the summer and I thought I wasn't ovulating.
We went on vacation, relaxed and just tried to have as much sex as possible.
