Just been reading through this thread and I skipped to the end with wonderful BFP news Congratulations I'm so happy for you.
Did you conceive naturally ? I have been ttc for 16 months now.

Hey LBAM! Yes, we did conceive naturally. We weren't even trying! And I mean no opks, nothing. I am not even sure what day I ovulated, but apparently we hit the window somewhere there.

I used to shrug off the "when you quit trying, it will happen" advice, but the more I think about it, that is exactly what happened with us. We really got over it, and moved into a new space in life where we were 100% content with the 2 girls I have from previous marriage. Got a new job, bought a tiny little car for myself to drive for work (that a baby seat won't fit in at all), and here we are. And you know all of those crazy stories about people who go through infertility, ttc for years, do IVF and have their IVF babies, and THEN get naturally pregnant within months of that- it's the same thing. They just gave it up in their heads, and I mean TRULY gave it up. I know, easier said than done. I don't think you should not ttc, but maybe just try a few months of just dtd when the mood hits and see what happens. You never know....that's honestly the only advice I can offer from my position.....and sometimes, it's just a change of lifestyle, even the most subtle, that can make a difference. We started juicing and were moving on to a very healthy eating regimen, but also started drinking wine every night with dinner. WHO KNOWS! Just don't give it up, because if my poor DH has like 7 sperm who are worth a damn and I managed to get pregnant, I am sure you will find success sometime...even if it takes a lot longer than you thought.

Hi there, and thank you! I have been on this site since it started, and it is an amazing place of camaraderie and advice, so you are in the right place! As you can tell, I was one of the few who had infertility issues after a while, but I never felt an outcast here. I had to take some breaks just for my own sanity- which included a break from all things TTC- but I always felt supported by the ladies here on these forums. I mostly wanted to post my story for personal cathartic reasons but also post something about hope and perspective.

Good luck to you in your journey here!

So, we will find out the gender by the end of the week hopefully! I had the MaterniT21 test done on March 28 so 7-10 days. A happy ending would definitely be a healthy baby!
