Almost a year.

How long have you been TTC?
we were successful on cycle 7

Do you have any other children?
both dave & i act like we're 3 years old....does that count?

What plans or methods have you used?
OPK's, Fertility Friend, Temping, Charting, Pre-natals, Folic Acid supplements for both Dave & I, B6 to try and lengthen a short LP (didn't work to lengthen).

Anything else to add?
My most sincere apologies if the fact that i'm pregnant upsets anyone. I have been on this board for 8 months now and am so invested in so many of you that I intend to stick around until every last woman I 'grew up with' has moved onto the pregnancy board...

I learned so very much in my time here, i feel like it would be a waste to not share that knowledge..
