    We were trying for baby #3 for 10 cycles, 4th after our loss in the summer.

    I took Soy Isoflavones which is supposed to be "Nature's Clomid", but otherwise it was natural.

    This pregnancy was kind of a surprise for me. I had my second m/c in May and it took until August to have a "normal" period again. Then I didn't start charting again until this cycle, and I wasn't even doing a great job. Also, I swear we only had sex once and I didn't think it was anywhere near O.

    Overall TTC for #1 for 2 years this December.

    Fertility meds would have started in February for me, I got lucky and was able to avoid them!

    We had 2 cycles of "if it happens, it happens" not using protection or charting.  Then I charted 1 month, as of CD25, no indication of O, BFP a week later.

    No meds, just natural

    Completely welcomed surprise. We decided when we got married to forgo birth control and let a baby come whenever it would. We were going to start "trying" after our second anniversary. But this little orange seed will be born a month before our second anniversary. In perfect timing!

    We have been trying since May of this year.  We got super lucky that it happened this cycle because in Jan. I was going to be starting clomid.  I'm so happy we were able to do this on our own!

    This was cycle #7 and we had just started going down the path of testing me and DH.  I'm happy to skip all the b/w and xrays that were coming my way in January.  At least all the upcoming b/w is for happier reasons than figuring out reasons for IF.  He was VERY happy that he didn't have to give a sample to the lab before our BFP.

    This was cycle 18 for us. We were just about to start further testing and treatment, but we managed to conceive naturally!  DH had borderline count so he started taking fertility blend three months ago...maybe that's what did the trick :)

    "Trying" since DD was 8 months, so maybe 5 or 6 cycles.

    Taking B6 and herbs, but natural.

    This is the first cycle we could try again after a loss in October. I wasn't taking anything to conceive, and I had a good feeling that this could be "the month."

    Totally planned.  First cycle trying for #2.  We've been biding our time for a year due to $$ and maternity leave.  I wanted to be able to spend as much time home w/ #2 as I did w/ Grace.
    Totally natural and exactly how I got pg w/ Grace.  Sex every other day from cd8 till cd 16.  Who knows??  Getting pg has (thankfully) never been my issue, it's the positive outcome.  Pg's #1, 2 and 4 happened the first month, #3 on the 3rd month but first month of REALLY trying.

    We got our BFP on cycle #18.  I was taking Dostinex, Metformin, Clomid and an Ovidrel injection.  Now I'm on progesterone and will continue the Metformin through my first trimester.  We had decided we were going go move onto IUI in February, due to timing of my RE being closed at the start of my January cycle.

    TTC started Oct '10
    Me: AMA w/RSD, atypical PCOS w/IR, LPD and High Prolactin. Controlled HP post-loss.
    DH: Low-T and borderline morph

    11 AL cycles, 9 medicated/IUI cycles. All BFFN!

    We actually weren't really trying, but honestly, we weren't careful either - and I knew the timing... 

     We have been very lucky that both my pregnancies have been natural.

    We experienced a loss earlier this year and had to wait several months before we were allowed to TTC again.  We've been TTC since January 2011 in total, but had to wait to TTC until October since I had to have chemo after my D&C to get my betas down to zero and then make sure the cells didn't grow back.  

    This pregnancy was cycle #2 TTC since we were cleared in October.  No fertility meds, IVF, IUI, etc.

    BFP #1: 01/16/11. EDD 09/27/11. Molar pregnancy discovered at 11w2d. D&C on 03/11/11 at 11w3d. Confirmed complete molar pregnancy 03/28/11. GTN diagnosed 04/11. Started Act-D 05/06/11. FINALLY a negative beta 06/01/11!!! Cleared by oncologist to TTC in mid-October.


    BFP #2: 12/30/11. EDD 09/11/12. MC 01/04/12. I love you always.


    Separated 04/12.

    We have TTC since May 2010 for our first baby. But this pregnancy is actually a surprise because my RE had given me Provera to start a new cycle so we could try an IUI. I never had the withdrawal bleeding as I have done in the past so I decided to take a test and it was positive.

    Third Cycle for us. (1 of which we didn't try to hard just didn't use any protection.) No Charting or meds for me. On this cycle I just went with every other day starting after my period until I got sick about a week before I found out I was pregnant.

    It was natural and I'm surprised because I haven't been regular since our DS was born.  I have had 4 cycles.  Super excited, but still shocked.  We just found out this morning!

     

    Any ideas on where to get a "I'm going to be a big brother shirt?"  I am trying to think of a way for our DS to break the news to everyone.  I would like it to have that on the front and have an ETA when we find out the actual EDD.

    We started trying in July, had a m/c in November and got another BFP the very next cycle. So 6 cycles, all natural.
