purdey we have taken a fairly relaxed approach to TTC, I've very stupidly naively expected it to just happen as did when I was in my early 20's).
Since my last successful pregnancies (15years ago) I've been diagnosed with PCOS, my ovulation and cycles are random and pretty much anyone's guess. Since my MC in August my cycles have been 56 days, 43 days, 29 days and now currently on CD34. The last 3 cycles I have taken soy, not successful but the cycles are shortening which was part of the plan.
Not had any tests yet, DH only really decided he wanted a baby when I MC the last 2. So whilst I count the 2+ years we have used zero contraception, actively TTC has probably been the last 12 months. I think I will try for 1 more month then start asking for medical support - but I always thought that it would be pointless because I already have kids plus I'm too old to be helped! I really know very little about the whole TTC. I have no idea what DHEA is or what tests I should be asking for.
I think I'm possibly around 9/10 dpo by monitoring CM, ov pains and general cycle. I haven't got so obsessed with temping yet and OPK don't always work with PCOS.
I'd love this month to be our month, I'm not overly optimistic though, have period pains/cramps so expecting AF to make an appearance so holding off testing for a few more days.
In a nutshell, I'll be sticking around for a while, as they say it ain't over til its over!
