We fell on our second cycle of trying and I feel guilty coming in here and saying that.

With DD11 I came off the pill and didnt have another period and with DS8 I had one period once we decided to try so I guess I am just one of those lucky ones that fall easily.

We were worried it might take a while considering this is DH and my first child.

I dont know if I would be able to cope with months of trying and disappointment every month, I admire your strength and perseverance (sp?). I hope you all get your BFPs very soon, you all totally deserve it!!!

We took 4 months each time. This time when we got pregnant was at new years, i was on holiday and relaxed about the whole thing. We were lucky to only take 4 months even if it did feel like ages (i have 45 day cycles)

Good luck to all those waiting for their BFP's. I admire your perserverence and courage!

This is my journey so far lol

July08 - went off the jab after being on it for 5 years straight.
Oct08 - AF decided to visit

Now 9months later and still nothing

Visited GP 2weeks ago was advised to get my Day21 bloodtests for progesterone levels.

14July09 - Day21 bloodtest
15July09 - called doctors and was advised by nurse I got 20.6 which is normal and that was all she could tell me -

I guess now I have to make an appointment with GP to explain that number further and what do I do from now on -

goodluck to everyone else who are TTC

Good idea starting this post, it's nice to know that there are others out there in the same boat.

As for me we have been trying for nearly a year, and about 8 cycles of clomid. I think I'm one of those women for whom clomid doesn't really do much. It did work a few times, but I'm finding metformin is better for me.

Good luck to everyone I look forward to hearing all the success stories!

Molz988 I'm guessing you have been on Depo shots? Same for me (2 1/2 years). Try not to get down - it's quite brutal stuff and I won't be going back on it for a while but they reckon it's around nine months for everything to go back to normal after being on that.

I had my last injection Oct 08, was meant to go back for next 3 month injection Dec 08 but didn't. Got married Jan 09. No AF for three months, had one AF middle of March and would had conceived early April! Didn't know I was pregnant though till taking the test in June. Most of my pregnancy symptoms I put down to either the Depo working its way out of my system or just the weather getting colder. We were just extremely lucky as I was thinking nothing would happen till at least the end of the year and the only thing we did was me coming off birth control!

Good luck and best baby wishes to ya'll

Lurker? 

Umm  MindyW... I read on one of the forums that having Clomid longer than 3 months is not good for your lining etc     Have you heard of Metformin?  apparently it works wonders for PCOS    see this link and start reading from the 5th post ....    http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-297796.html

Thanks Shezzy, I read that link and I appreciate the thought. Makes for a lot of questions for my speacialist. Though it does say that if you are ovulating then clomid can cause those probs and act as a contraceptive.... Hard to say, I've put my trust in a fertility specialist OB/GYN; I dont know who wrote that comment on the website ie what their qualifications are, or if it is evidence based. I will certainly be asking my specialist on the 5th. Trouble is I dont ovulate without it, my glucose levels and Hb1ac are fine so I dont think that I have insulin resistance
