I thought that I'd ask everyone for a little update! To keep things rolling and on A HAPPY NOTE! =D
Its been kinda crazy and people have been busy. I know that Ive gotten off course a bit and Im not quite sure "WHO'S WHERE and WHAT'S WHAT"... =D

I figured it would be nice to play a little game of "Catch Up" just to let everyone get a GOOD picture of what everyone is up to now that winter is FINALLY coming to an END! and SPRING IS ON ITS WAY! =D

> SO, IF you'd like to participate:
Feel free to let us all know whats your latestTTC 411. Where you are in your TTC process {preg/ not pg} {when you got BFP/ how long you've been ttc}... etc... etc...
You dont have to put anything you dont feel comfortable sharing. I just thought this would give everyone (especially those NEW to FG) a chance to GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER! =D

The gals on here are great I love you all for your support. I have been ttc since Oct 2008, I had a m/c at the end Jan 09. I had a period March 08, and was due April 7th. No period, no af, and blood test came back negative. I have a cyst on my left fallopian tube and wondering if that could be keeping my period away. Now I am just so anxious if no af I can't ovulate!!! URRRGHH!! I just want to be able to try LOL..congrats to you!!!!

I am 24 and live in South Carolina. I went off the pill October 2008, and got diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 2008. I got my BFP in February but miscarried at 4-5 weeks. After the miscarriage, we decided we would wait awhile before TTC again. In the meantime, my thyroid level has been out of whack. They decreased my medicine, and I go back in May to have my levels checked again. We are talking about TTC again after summer. I never went back on birth control after the miscarriage, we have just been using withdrawal. So, my cycles are regular, and my body is starting to really let me know when it's ovulating (CM, cramps/pains, etc). I am excited to start TTC again :)

Good luck and best wishes to everyone... BABY DUST AND STICKY DUST :)

I am 28. I have a 2 1/2 year old son, Elias. We tried for about 3 month to get pregnant with him. I thought it would take forever because my mom and sis have problems getting pregnant. It took about 4 months to get pregnant this time with our daughter who is due 7/7/09. At about 7 weeks with this pregnancy I started bleeding and I thought I was having a mc. I had low progestrone and was put on supplements. It seems that ever since then I have been anxious that something is going to happen. So far this has been a difficult pregnancy compared to my first. I have Gestational diabetes and have to take insulin shots 3 times a day. They did an U/S and said I have too much amniotic fluid and that she is measuring a pound bigger than she should be. I never had contractions (that I knew of) with Elias but with this one it seems I have few at least once a week. Dr said that excess amniotic fluid could send me into preterm labor so now I am freaked out all the time. Wow! That just all seemed to roll out. I am 29 weeks today. I live in southern Indiana. Good luck to all at whatever stage you are in.

I am 23 and went of BCPs in October 08. This will be mine and DH's 8th month ttc. I have NEVER gotten a BFP and know that I ovulate every month and AFs are regular. We are giving it one more month before I possibly call my doctor. This will be our second month using Preseed and we are hoping for the best!
We moved back from Virginia a little over one year ago and currently live in Southern NH where we were both born and raised and just bought our first home that we share with our two little Boston Terriers :) Our new home has three bedrooms and one of them is just waiting for a baby!

Hi everyone. It is great to hear each person's TTC story. Thank-you for sharing and thank-you for starting this post. I am 28 years old and live in Canada. I was a teacher but left the career for a less stressful life. So far, I think I made the right decision. I have wanted to have children for about 3 years now (my DH and I have been together 11 years) but it was just after my 28th, that my DH finally decided he was ready to start trying. I went off BC in January and this is my third cycle trying. I can't believe how much I have matured and grown as a person during this whole experience. I know god will bless me with a baby when we are ready. However, this doesn't keep me from being a total stress case. The TWW is the most debilitating time for me. I hardly get any work done and stress over everyt single symtpom. This site and blogs have kept me insane. Although I am new to this site, it has already become a big part of my day and my survival. Thanks to everyone and good luck!

I guess I'll join in! I'm 26, a baker and DH and I have been together for 10 years (married 3). I went off bcp (on 2 years) last March and started "trying" in July and have been trying on and off since then. RIght now we are to the point of just seeing what happens...I have not been chart or demanding bding and it's been wonderful! I couldn't believe how crazy and obsessed ttc made us! I have finally excepted that God might have other plans for us at the moment and it's not a race (family bugging us). It's kind of wonderful to know that it's ok that when it happens it happens! BD to everyone!

Hello! I am Steph, located in beautiful White Bear Lake Minnesota.
Hubs and I have been married for 3 years (together for 8) in May, no birth control for 3 years now. We have been "trying" for number 1 for 2 years.

I have PCOS and newly diagnosed luteal phase defect. This cycle is a bust and the next cycle will be Clomid #3, with progesterone suppositories (whoo hoo!). Third times the charm right???
I am praying for a positive in May, my hubby (and I of course) REALLY wants a baby and I'd love to be pregnant for our 3rd anniversary.

Hello All I'm Heather. I have been TTC for a little over 1.5 years. I have PCOS so that I believe has made it a bit harder. This cylce AF was due to show between 4/2 and 4/4 and has not showed and I have tested a few times, the last time being on 4/7 I believe and got all BFN's ( though I saw a second line on one but I think my mind was playing tricks) I got to the doctors on thur. 4/23 and they will do a test, not sure if blood though so hopefully I will have a good answer by then.
I am glad I found this website sometime ago, all the ladies are great! Oh yeah I'm from Cincy Ohio!

Hi everyone, I am kind of new to the site. Well I am 35 and dh is 42. I have a ten year old daughter from a previous marriage. I reside in Birmingham Alabama. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 1996 and currently in school to obtain a degree in computer information systems. I have been ttc for a couple yrs and had an hsg done in Feb 09. Right tube blocked left tube wide open. Dr put me on clomid to hopefully make me ovulate from left ovary. This was my first round so we will c soon. I had no problems conceiving my daughter. I was fertile myrtle in my 20's up until about I was 33. Honestly if this round of clomid don't work I am going to go ahead and tell my daughter to schedule me for a lap and D&C. Good luck everyone!!!

Hi ladies. I'm 25, married, ttc for 8 months. I had one shot of depo and it totally screwed up my cycle. I'm just starting to get back on track but I'm not sure if I'm O'ing. I've been using instead this cycle as well as OPK that I didn't get a positive with, or at least the lines weren't dark enough to be a positive. I'm at 8DPO and keeping my fingers crossed. This site is fantastic, it really helps me on the bad days. I don't post much at all, but reading about all of your stories really helps me put things into perspective.

Baby Dust to all of you, I hope this is all of our lucky month.
