    Yes, I do. I went off my medication while ttc #1. It's Been 7 Months AND pretty rocky. I am certainly not advocating that you go off meds if you need them...that's between you and your doctor. But you certainly aren't the only person dealing with this. It makes ttc even more emotional! With the right support, you can do it just like any other mom ttc. Hope that helps!
    I am 35 to DH for almost two years. Actively ttc #1 since October 2014. Charting, Clomid, HCH shots, Timed Intercourse.
    DH SA looks great, my numbers look great... trying B6, Zinc, Vitamin C, you name it. Avid reader of TCOYF, FF junkie. Trying to keep the faith once cycle at a time.

    This. We can definitely offer support but it's best you discuss this with your doctor so that you are taking the most proactive approach to TTC and managing your bipolar disorder.

    Good luck on your journey.
