No fertility issues as far as we know.
No children.
TTC naturally by monitoring CM and just trying to keep it fun.

We are TTC baby #1! We got pregnant 8 months ago on our first try, unfortunately it ended in MC at 6 weeks. We were told they could not find any reason for the MC after tons of tests and that it must have been an abnormality that my body rejected. We have not tried again since, so we are getting back on the horse for round 2, hopefully this will be our time!! FX. <3

What are your TTC plans for 2014: (fertility meds, supplements, OPKs, BBT charting, NTNP, etc,)
I used OPK for my first cycle, the clear blue digital advanced. I liked them better than the other brands because they give you a definitive answer, no guessing game with lines. I had Mirena for the last five years and had it removed March 19th, 2014 and I wasn't sure how it would affect my cycles.
