FINALLY- A BFP!!!!!!!
Hi ladies! I am sooooo excited to announce my BFP!!! I confirmed it this morning with digital HPT!! 
I just want to say thank you for all of the information & support on this board. I was mostly a lurker but I hope each and everyone of you get your BFPs soon! 
Here is a little recap of my TTC journey (I also have a DD who is almost 5 y/o). I went of BCPs in February of 2009. I knew it would take a while for my body to adjust and get regulated but I always had normal cycles and had no issues getting PG with my DD. Anyway, much to my surprise, AF never came. I called my doctor and he told me not to worry, to just wait it out, etc. Well, 6 months of no AF (except for some spotting here and there) went by and I had feeling something was wrong.
In September of 2009, I decided enough was enough and I was tired of just waiting around for AF. I called my doctor to make an appointment to go in for bloodwork...only to find out that he was out on leave until December. 
Upon the recommendation of a few friends, I switched doctors and made an appointment. At my first check-up after getting my history, my new doctor decided to do a blood work-up. To make a long story short, I had elevated prolactin levels which turned out to be from a small growth on my pituatary gland (confirmed through an MRI). Basically what was happening was that small growth was causing my prolactin level to go up which in turn made my body think I ws BFing and caused AF not to show up!! After going to an endocronologist, I was given a prescription for Bromocryptine which was intended to shrink the growth, lower the prolactin level and get AF back on track. Thankfully, within a few months, AF was back! I had never been so happy to her in my life!! After tracking my cycles with the CBEFM, we decided it was time to really TTC (at this point, a year and half had gone by!). So, after officially TTCing for 2 months, I got my BFP!!!!
I'm sorry this is so long...I just wanted to share my story since, believe it or not, this condition is pretty common.
I really wish you all the best!! Please send some sticky dust my way too!!!
