I'll start as off then -

Imps - TTC 1 - no hint of a BFP as yet. Agreed with OH to start TTC in January 2010, didn't actually start until July 2010. No tests done yet (it's too soon) - will pop to the GP in August 2012 if no BFP by then as it will have been 12 cycles of "well timed intercourse" Grin. Am a charter, but OPKs and I do not get along.

Oh, dammit, I missed an apostrophe off "smacketeers". For the record, the title of this thread is:

Imps - if you report your own post to MNHQ they will sometimes change a thread title for you?

Stasi TTC #1 since Sept 2010. DH and I are both 30. Hsg has shown I have a blocked right tube, but no other problems found. DH has had 2 SALE, both showing very similar poor results. Didn't get details, but it involved poor count and motility, though not disastrous. Waiting for another appt to discuss next stage which will either be trying longer, or ivf. Never had any hint of bfp, chemical, near miss, or even a late AF. I temp and chart, and have started using opks. Never seem to have had an anovulatory cycle.

Have been charting and using OPKs, they haven't revealed any obvious problems.

Stasi TTC #1 since Sept 2010. DH and I are both 30. Hsg has shown I have a blocked right tube, but no other problems found. DH has had 2 SALE, both showing very similar poor results. Didn't get details, but it involved poor count and motility, though not disastrous. Waiting for another appt to discuss next stage which will either be trying longer, or ivf. Never had any hint of bfp, chemical, near miss, or even a late AF. I temp and chart, and have started using opks. Never seem to have had an anovulatory cycle.

Bean TTC DC2. DS exactly 2. Stopped b-fing Dec 2010. DP agreed to TTC following March. Investigations Dec/Jan 2012 revealed low motility sperm. And I'm 40 so... No hint of BFP so started CBFM in Feb 2012 and now both having acupuncture and herbs for 7 weeks. Booze-free household too (Grr).

Imps - TTC 1 - no hint of a BFP as yet. Agreed with OH to start TTC in January 2011, didn't actually start until July 2011. No tests done yet (it's too soon) - will pop to the GP in August 2012 if no BFP by then as it will have been 12 cycles of "well timed intercourse" (!). Am a charter, but OPKs and I do not get along.

Bartlet - TTC #3. DS 18mo, DD born asleep at 18 weeks. Started TTC this cycle. DS gets us up early most mornings so temping wouldn't work, but Preseed and OPKs worked last time so hoping it does this time too.

little - TTC#2. DD 2.4yrs. Stopped contraception Jan 2011, started "timing cycles", preseed etc in March 2011. MC at 10 wks in Jan 2012. Started using CBFM March 2012.

SecretSparkle - TTC#1 - on 5th cycle, using CBFM for 3 cycles and so far only 1 peak!! Have mild case of obsessive complusive disorder to this not being able to plan thing is sending me crazy!! March 2012 am throwing everything I've got (or ordered) in to baby making, CBFM, OPK, Temping, Ferning test and Conceive plus!!!

CupcakesAndCocktails formerly Babysade-TTC#1 from november 2010, started monitoring cycles from jan 2011. No hint of a BFP yet. I have used OPKs and preseed. Now on my first month of CBFM. I can't temp due to shift work. Have started investigations, DH fine. I have anaemia and B12 deficiency, on supplements for that. Have polycystic looking ovaries but hormones fine so do not have PCOS. Awaiting referral to fertility specialist.

Sweetie - TTC#1 - stopped taking pill May 2011, got married Aug 2011, actively TTC since Sept 2011. Had day 3/day 21 bloods done in Oct (FSH=12, progesterone=127!!!) and DH has had SA - all fine. Just been to GP to seek referral, awaiting appointment. I don't get with CBD OPK but on cheapies sticks get a faint line for a couple of days. Also been temping last 2 cycles.

GenericDietCola TTC #2. DD 2.6 yrs. Stopped pill Jan 2011, 2 mcs: one at 12 weeks in April 2011, one at 10 weeks Jan 2012. To lazy to temp and hoping that the next pregnancy will result in a baby as DH doesn't want to try anymore . But I can probably convince him.

GreenOlives TTC#2. DS 3.8 yrs. Started TTC no.2 May 2009. MC Nov 2009. MC Dec 2010. Ectopic pregnancy Oct 2011 (lost left tube). CP Dec 2011. Had RMC tests on NHS - all clear. Awaiting results of NK cells tests. Shift work makes charting too difficult but I have lots of signs of ovulation and use OPKs and Preseed. Am determined to get (and stay) diffed this year!

whimsical name TTC#4 (sorry) previous kids are nearly 8, 6 and 2. Been TTC since July last year I think. Not so long in the grand scheme of things I know, but the last 3 took 1, 2 and 3 months, so a bit of a change this time round. I'll be 35 this month. Tick tock.

beedlethebard TTC #1, actively trying since April 2011, no hint of a BFP yet. Have just self-referred for testing (not in the UK), they have to give us an appointment with a specialist with 12 weeks (by which point we'll have passed the 12 month mark).

Smegs TTC DC2. DD 2.0. One early mc before DD conceived. Actively TTC since August 2011, but reality is probably longer than that. I've had tests and been referred to a fertility clinic because of odd/short cycles and other issues. Everything fine apart from AMH levels came back very low for a woman of my age. Gearing myself up for IVF when BAM! BFP yesterday! FX everything goes well.

ScarlettInSpace · 01/04/2012 19:39

Scarlett (35) TTC # 1 since Feb 2011 but have 2 fab SK's (6 &4) to stay at weekends. Ectopic at Uni which resulted in removal of one tube, hycosy in Feb2012 showed ovary on that side is teeny and not functional, OH SA very good apparently, no obvious reason why can't conceive naturally but consultant has referred for IVF as he feels bypassing tube would be best route.

meg Sorry I can't copy and paste on my phone, so please could the next person do it for me?
TTC no.4. DD and DS1 arrived during marriage number 1, and DS2 is with my new DH. All three were conceived remarkably quickly (within 2 months). However, it took around a year for DH to come round to the idea of one more child Wink .
Merena coil removed April 2011. Got pregnant in september, miscarried (10 weeks) in November. I think I have had a couple of chemicals since then. Am determined to get there this year! Am 36. DC are 10, 7 and 5.

Zimmer (42) TTT#1 since March 2012. I know I know, left it a bit bloomin' late to get all broody! Doing OPKs, still have regular-as-clockwork periods, healthy diet and BMI, so fingers-crossed. Got a bit hopefull and started imagining that early morning nausea and back-ache last month might possibly be very early signs of pregnancy, but eventually realised this was caused by regular over-enthusiastic post-DTD upside-down bicycling which I havent done since I was at primary school Grin
