TTC History

July 15 2012: Last day of birth control!!!

August 2012: 1st month TTC - just wingin' it. No OPK's. No BBT. Just good ol' sex. Although I did spot this month, I didn't really think anything of it and I wasn't charting but given my history I'm thinking it started at 9 or 10dpo. BFN.

September 2012: OPKs and BBT charting added to the mix. Definitely did not like the feeling of not knowing what was going on in the world of TTC. Noticed spotting at 9dpo. Convinced it was implantation spotting. Wrong. BFN.

October 2012: Same old, same old this month but checking CM in addition to OPKs, and charting my BBT. No crazy symptoms this month and by now I was smart enough to know that these symptoms don't actually mean you're pregnant :) Spotting at 10dpo. Surprise, surprise. BFN.

November 2012:  Still charting and using OPKs. This time I relied a little too heavily on my CM for my expected FW. Nothing exciting about this cycle. Again, spotting at 10dpo. BFN.

December 2012: The month of the sex-a-thon! I was hopeful this cycle because my temps stayed pretty high throughout my 2ww. Spotting at 10dpo (It never gets easier when it happens. It actually has been getting harder to deal with). BFN.

January 2013: After the sex-a-thon in December we decided to take the EOD approach this cycle. I was REALLY hoping this would be our month. Annnd it wasn't. Still charting (can't live without it at this point), using OPKs and checking CM. I had spoken with my doctor about the spotting and she wanted me to come in and have my progesterone levels drawn. I had that done but wasn't quite 7dpo (Dr. B said it wouldn't matter, and just to come in on the day we had planned). Got my results back. 4.08. Scheduled a follow up. Dr. B said I ovulated but that my levels were low. We got to talking about charting and when I ovulate. She wasn't aware that I only ovulated on CD18 (although I am pretty sure I mentioned this to her at one point) and was only 3 dpo when I had my blood work done. She wants me to come in next month and is trusting my chart to tell me when I ovulated (she was very skeptical of my charts at first). Spotting at 10 dpo. I took it harder than ever. BFN.

And here were are.
