Hi all. I have been lurking a bit here, and while I know there are many who have been trying a lot longer than me, I feel this board may be a good fit for me. I am a regular on the TTCAL board, and love the ladies there, but am also looking for somewhere that I can discuss DD without worries of hurting anyone.
A little bit of background on me: I am 30, DH is 32. I have a DD who is 6. I had 2 m/c before DD was born. (DD is from a previous relationship). My DH and I began TTC immediately after we got married at the end of Sept 2012. We got a BFP on the first cycle. I had a natural m/c. I have always had clockwork cycles--30 or 31 days, lots of fertile CM and have got PG very easily. First BFP was 3 months of NTNP, 2nd BFP was on first cycle and DD was from a one time slip-up during my FW.
I finished miscarrying at the end of Nov, and we were told to wait one cycle. We waited 2 as I wasn't ready yet and began TTC again in Feb. Since the loss my cycles have become longer and irregular. They have ranged from 31 to 44 days. As of February, my EWCM became almost non-existent. I started taking EPO 3 cycles ago to help...so far I only got EWCM one of those cycles. Especially this cycle, I have been very dry. We have been using Preseed for 4 cycles to help combat the lack of EWCM as well. I also temp and have been using OPKS for the last 3 cycles.
I have a lot of respect for you ladies who tried and patiently waited for years to get your babies. It has been 11 months since we first started and I am already going crazy. I am not a patient person, and I suspect the fact that I could always get PG very easily before is making me nervous.
I have an appointment with my OB next month to discuss my cycles...I am not sure what she will suggest. I hope you will have me!
