Should we all introduce ourselves?

Hiya

Name : Jessica

Age : 29

How long TTC: "officially" this is our first month, had a MC the first month off the pill.

Any Children : Nope

Fertility Issues : None that I am aware of

Method of TTC : Same as DollyMama - just winging it so far. We kind of figure that since we got a BFP without any trying before, so recently we will likely see it again soon (especially if I'm anything like my mom).

Anything else to add : Sending everyone

Just plain old fashioned sexing...probably going to start taking mucinex though and also use pre-seed if it doesn't happen this cycle.

Any fertility issues: Low AMH, rt tube removed 2005, RE still says unexplained IF

Method of TTC: Did the OPKs & TI. Tried accupuncture, pineapple, peppermint tea, fertility bracelets.... Had 3 IUI with Clomid and my 4th IUI with injectables and trigger just failed. One more IUI then we move on to IVF.

Had D&C 5/2013. They thought there was a polyp, but turns out the lining was just thickened in areas and folding up on itself.

Best of Luck to Everyone

Name: SecretlyTTCagain

Age: late 20s

How long TTC: This is our second cycle trying.

Any Children: one, ~ 2 years old.

Any fertility issues: long irregular cycles. We got pregnant easily with #1 but it's annoying and makes it hard to predict O timing. I think my luteal phase is too short and will likely start taking b6 to help with that.

This is our third cycle using OPKs to help pinpoint O. I also track symptoms on a period app.

Anything else to add: wishing everyone lots of luck!

Age: 32

How long TTC?: first cycle TTC for baby# 2

ANy Children?: Yes, 1 DD who is almost 2

Fertility Issues: I had a bumpy road TTC #1 and did some testing but didn't complete all testing because I got pregnant right in the middle of the tests. SO IDK for certain but looks like no.

Method of TTC: Deanna's Plan.. On crack... a TON o sex. We go every other day until 5 days prior to my first possible O day and so then it's daily from that day until the day after my last possible o day (in total that's 11 straight days in a row... with about 3-4 of every other day prior to that).

Anything else to add: I'm a returner to the boards... I haven't been on in a LONG time.. so I'm just coming back for my TTC journey and the preggo board (fingers crossed it's not too far away).
