June 2012 Moms

IF? Fertile Myrtle? Oops? What's your story...?

Just curious what the June 2012 spread is...are you IF success? First try and PG? Oops? Honeymoon baby? etc? Tell us!

 

I had 2 years of IF treatments that failed including surgery. We gave up. A year later, we are SURPRISE pregnant. If I had a nickel for everytime I've heard "That's what happens. You give up and it just happens!" I'd have a full baby suite & graduation fund for LO maturing rapidly.

  • I never had trouble getting pregnant, but have had 2 miscarriages this year (one being a possible ectopic pregnancy).  Third time was the charm for us...now I'm almost 15 weeks with our twins!

  • DH and I decided it was time to stop preventing in July. I went off birth control and had a positive pregnancy test on October 11th. I wouldn't necessarily say Fertile Myrtle, but it certainly didn't take us long at all.

  • Ours happens to be Honeymoon and first try lol.... we've been very open with everyone telling them not to be surprised if we became pregnant not long after we got married.  Well it didn't take long at all!  We went on our honeymoon 2 days after our wedding and I happened to have AF ending the day of the wedding.  So most likely honeymoon or not long after.  We tested the day I was supposed to start. Couldn't be happier! Big Smile

  • We tried for 6 mths and now baby on the way - not sure where that falls but baby is coming no matter how it got there... =)
  • Fertile Myrtle here! Got pregnant on the first try... I really thought it was going to take longer and figured we would start trying and then Bam! Pregnant a month after our honeymoon!

  • Tried for 2 years including surgery for me and 6 failed rounds of clomid.  We were getting ready to start injects and IUI in January 2012 and suprisingly got pregnant on our own this October!
    So happy for my BFPB Steff13914 and her new twins! Welcome to the world sweet babies:) Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Definitely a fertile myrtle/oops. I was on BCP that failed. Then I find out a good percentage of girls my age also became pregnant on the same pill. But we're as happy as can be! After this baby, bring on the mirena!

  • We had just decided to try for a baby. First month not protecting and "sort of" trying, we were pregnant! 

     

    PS I am VERY grateful for this as I know alot of couples it can take months and months. I try not to take it for granted that it worked so fast. 

  • We will be first time parents and were extremely lucky and got pregnant on the first try... We thought that it would take a lot longer and are very grateful.

  • It took us a year to get pregnant with DS. With this LO it took 7 months. We really thought about being done with 1 and were thinking of being done trying. Gave it one more month and here we are!

  • This is our third pregnancy, and we've been extremely lucky to get pregnant the first month TTC each time.  However, the second pregnancy was a blighted ovum diagnosed at 8 wks, 2 days in August.  I had a D&C and was told to wait 1 cycle before TTC.  Thankfully, we got our BFP the first cycle again, so I felt like I could move forward.  I am much more paranoid with this pregnancy though.

    I feel the same way about your PS... I was the same, we just thought we would do the "if it happens, it happens" kinda thing.. and here we are.. :)  

  • Husband and I decided to try.  Well, 3 times in, we were like, well, let's wait until after vacation in November.

    At that point, it was too late.  hehe

  • I stopped BC and never got a period (over 90 days). Went to the OB, tried several rounds of Provera to jumpstart...nothing. Went to RE, diagnosed with Ovulatory Dysfunction due to Hashimoto's (not really sure what that all meant). But we did clomid + 2 IUIs and second time was charm....here we are!
  • Decided we were ready to start trying. BFP on 2nd try...didn't think it would be so fast and at 33 was very grateful it did!
  • Also a Fertile Myrtle/Oopsie. My BCP failed, but found out DB's mother's BCP failed too... Maybe his family are just strong swimmers. I'm over the shock and now very excited!

  • We got pregnant our 2nd cycle trying. We were charting, using preseed, etc to help our chances, but we got very lucky that it only took two cycles.

  • After 2 years of trying, we went to fertility to get tested. Everything came back fine, unexplained IF. We were going to start IUI, but had scheduling conflicts 3 months in a row so we decided to wait for my husbands off season (he coaches hockey and is gone all the time). Then his mom passed away unexpectedly, then I got a new job. At this point, it had been a year since we got tested. We decided we would start IUI again in 2012. Turns out all we needed to do was rescue a 2nd dog. We adopted an 8 month old puppy and 2 weeks later we were pregnant!!  It took us a very long 3 years for our BFP.

  • This baby was planned... went off BCP at the end of July, got BFP 10/12.11! With my DS I got pregnant on BCP, he was the best "Ooops" to every happen to me!

  • I was an Oops

     Was told by many doctors children was not really an option for me (Multiply medical problems) well my RX ran out for my BCP and it took 2 weeks for my doctor to call it in and in that 2 weeks is when IT happened. My Husband and I are very happy with our surprise especially since we were told Babies were not an option for us!!

  • I would fall under "Fertile Myrtle" and "Oops"

    With DD I had come off the pill in Dec. 2008 and got pregnant in Feb. 2009. 

    Then over this last summer we had an oops which sadly ended in miscarriage. Per my OB we waited a month and then got pregnant the following month. Sadly, that ended in a c/p. So we decided not to wait and tried the following month and here we are!

  • With DS we stopped preventing in the summer, were pregnant in February. With this baby we actively tried for 2 months.

  • First try and got the BFP. I really didn't think it would happen that quickly and had prepared myself for a bit of a wait. But I guess when it's supposed to happen it happens.

  • With DD it took 3 cycles. We got really lucky because that third cycle was our last shot before DH had to go away for 4.5 months.

    With this one, I was only on BCP for 4 months before deciding to stop them. We got pregnant on our first try. Again, very lucky.

    I did use a fertility monitor both times. I had some HSA money to burn through before leaving my job, so that's what I used it on. Apparently it works :p

  • We were very lucky both times and got pregnant on our first try for both babies.
  • We were trying for 5 cycles. I did the whole charting thing and OPKs. I was worried about coming off birth control after 10 yrs, that it would not happen, but it happened in not that much time. I really am thankful to the TTGP board, as I would have not known anything about charting and really liked it.

  • We decided to try offically in July and got pregnant on the 2nd cycle. We had a few not-not trying months in the spring but I kinda knew we wouldn't get KU due to timing.

  • Very interesting read!

    I am here as a result of success after secondary IF.  After 1 year of trying OB put me on Clomid for 3 rounds.  Then on to RE for Femara, 3 IUI's, 1/2 of a IVF, then he just put me on natural hormone and here I am.  It was a looooong road for sure!

  • My story is a more of an oops. DH and I have been married for 3 1/2 years, and we don't bang alot. I had been getting alot of pressure from my mom on when we were going to have a baby, and I actually had her thinking we weren't ever going to have kids because I wanted her to stop being nosey. She would ask if I was on BC or using condoms, I ended up telling her we don't use either. She then would assume we were trying, but I would make her feel awkward by just saying "We just aren't doing it." I made a promise to DH that I would give him a kid by the time he turned 30...he turns 31 in January. Low and behold, I can recall the exact night, what we did, who we were with when we conceived. I didn't realize anything and continued to go out, until I noticed I was 4 days late. Surprise!

  • I had been on BCP for 8 years and this summer I decided to finally go off of them because I hated the way they made me feel. I kept telling myself at least I would be graduated from nursing school if we were to get pregnant. I was kind of expecting it to take around 4-6 months to pregnant which is exactly when we had planned on trying. I went off the end of July and got pregnant in September! I was shocked but was happy that we had no issues conceiving!

  • W/DD, I was very lucky in that it happened on the first time we had sex without protection! W/this LO, it took four cycles of actively charting, using OPK's and actively trying. I feel lucky that it didn't take too long for either baby.

    This is exactly me, minus the possible ectopic, and add a week for the twinks :)

  • This was a planned pregnancy - we conceived on the third month of trying (but the second month of charting/good timing).
  • I went off the pill a week before our wedding September 3, and found out we were pregnant the beginning of November! So definitely a honeymoon baby or close after

  • Started trying after our wedding Dec 2010 and got our BFP in Sept 2011, so about 9 months. My first cycle charting is the cycle that worked! Oh and of course a bit of Metformin to aid in regulating my cycles helped too Yes I would have loved to have been a "Fertile Myrtle" on our first try...we were SO ready. But, everything that happens happens for a reason!

  • Very interesting post! Like PP said...good read! : )

    We found out that I had endometriosis when I went in for a hernia repair. Had a surgery a month later to get things going, and started to TTC. Did a few months of OPKs...nothing...five rounds of Chlomid...nothing, well, one CP in those months...then, I decided to chart because we would be starting IUI in 2012 if we weren't pregnant yet, and we got pregnant on our first month of charting! The charting didn't change any timing or anything we did, so I don't think it was because of the charting, but did seem interesting! So, 14 months total of TTC and here we are!!!!

  • I stopped taking BC one month before we got married in June 2011.  We decided to see what would happen.  I thought it might take a while as I had been on BC for seven years.  My husband started saying that his swimmers must not work after the first month trying... but I got my BFP on October 1st!
