How long have you been TTC: June 2012

Do you (or your partner) have any infertility issues: I'm still working on being diagnosed. When I first went off birth control, I wasn't getting a period for months. To solve that, I was prescribed Provera. From there, I took Clomid for 3 cycles. Since August I've been getting a period without meds, and according to fertility friend & OPKs, I've been ovulating.

What are your TTC plans for 2014: Assuming I'm not pregnant this month, I will go for all of my prescreening tests (blood work & ultrasound) on day 3 or 4 of my next cycle. We will then proceed from there.

Hi!

My name is Jessica and my husband is Mitchell. I am 24 and he is 25. We've been together for almost 4 years and married for almost 4 months. Neither of us have children. We've been TTC for 3 months. We've never been tested for infertility, although I have irregular periods and suspect mild PCOS. Our TTC plans for 2014 are just to enjoy the process and not get worked up. If we try a year and fail, we will get tested and start whatever meds will help our chances. We are still young so we've got time to try. I've also been period tracking for over a year.

I feel a little nervous posting to this but I'd really like to reach out to the ttc community because I have high risk pregnancies that have been common with my sisters and quite a few miscarriages. I haven't started trying for a baby yet and won't for about another two months. Please don't shun me :p I am young so me ttc won't be accepted among many friends so it'd be nice to have a little support and to help support others.

Well, here goes:

Name/Partner's Name: Meagan and Thomas

Age/Partner's Age: 19 and 21

How long have you been together: Five Years, To be married in May (Hence the wait for ttc, we're going to start the cycle before the wedding because we'd really like to start our family. Note, I will have my associates degree in a few months and am going for my bachelors. Which I can do online if needed as I do that for that winter. My fiance is also on the path for an associates and bachelors but due to my early start with college classes while in high school, I'm ahead. We've been talking about this for a loonnnng time and we just would really like kids. I am an aunt of 16 and have helped raise about six or so of those nieces and nephews. I know a lot and have seen the good and bad of children. I know what I'm getting into. Me and my fiance also have full time jobs and a sturdy home life with my parents. My mom is persistent to keep us in the house while we're in college, especially if we have a baby. She loooves babies. Just had to get that out of the way. I know we still seem like kids and to many it's a mistake. But we have the means for a baby. Please don't judge us!

Do you have children, if so how many and ages: One hyper Jack Russell named Princess who is almost seven years old.

How long have you been TTC: Just about to start in April or March. We're preparing early.

Do you (or your partner) have any infertility issues: Since we're young, not that we know of. It runs in his family though. Definitely not mine.

What are your TTC plans for 2014: (fertility meds, supplements, OPKs, BBT charting, NTNP, etc,) Since we're just starting out, we're going to just follow my ovulation and take lots of ovulation tests and just really learn my body. We'd like to become pregnant whenever we are blessed enough too.

Anything about yourself you want to share: We're a good loving couple who have been best friends since the beginning. We fight, but how I know it's a sturdy relationship is that we get over is seriously after five minutes. And I'm pretty grumpy and high maintenance and he deals with it. He's a keeper. We believe we are soul mates. (:

Hi Ladies!

This will be my first post on tww, but I have been reading your stories for almost 6 months now. You ladies have gotten me through some tough times. I decided to finally join and post since this is a new year with great beginnings. FX everyone will receive their BFPs this year!!

About me:

Name/Partner's Name: Sara and Sam

Age/Partner's Age: 24 and 26

How long have you been together: We have been together for 6 years. We just got married in December of 2013

Do you have children, if so how many and ages: Just our puppies

How long have you been TTC: We have just started month 6.

Do you (or your partner) have any infertility issues: Not that we are aware of. I went to the doctor this past week and had my blood drawn and my doctor tested me for a few basic things and everything looked great!

What are your TTC plans for 2014: This will be our first month using OPKs. I usually feel ovulation so I didn't bother using them, but I am wondering if what I am feeling is actually happening before or after ovulation. I am hoping to narrow it down this month!! I don't do BBT charting and don't really plan on it. If this isn't our month we will start using Pre-Seed next month. If we are not pregnant by July, we will see a specialist. Hopefully that is not the case though

Anything about yourself you want to share: My husband and I are so excited to grow our little family. I get so excited just thinking about it. I had a chemical pregnancy in October and for the 3 days I knew I was pregnant I was happier than I have been in a long time. I was so disappointed when AF showed. That showed me just how ready I am.
