Well, got married in April 2009, were NTNP the first few months. After that we were trying, but not "hardcore" until like summer 2010. Got our bfp Dec. 2010. Actually, we had an appointment with a fertility doctor, which is why I tested "just in case". The bfp totally caught me by surprise.

I am glad you finally got your dd. I am scared this will happen to us. Taking so long part lol. I am very impatient. It so hard to want something and not get it month after month. We have been trying/ntnp since August. We recently started using OPKs in January.

Everyone always says it when they least expect it! I have a friend who it took her 18 months to conceive her dd and she was on clomid. She thought she would need clomid for to conceive #2 but turns out she was pregnant within 4 months of trying. She was totally caught by surprise!

Good luck! Where in your cycle are you?

Lilly, did you find amazon tests?

Haven't looked...been down at my new office all morning getting HR paperwork put through. It's an hour commute there and home so I feel like I've wasted my whole day. BLAH!!!

Plus I'm debating running to the fabric store to get something to make a few skirts out of. I've been obsessed about a vintage circle skirt sewing pattern I found and feel like procrastinating my school work a bit more by making a few. Amazon will probably be tonight when I'm finally bored with everything else.

What do you do for work? I wish I could sew! I made a skirt like 8 years ago but never wore it lol.
I work don't have to work til 2 or 3ish every day so I have my days open. I kinda like it!

I know I need a new hobby. DH just started a new job about 3 weeks ago which is good. Since he started it we have been fighting though. I am currently mad at him argh. I hate going to work mad at him as well. I spent $10 on Jimmy John's for lunch and he is freaking out because we need to save money.

Anyones had to rant lol. I am a gymnastics coach. I get to sleep in but I work all day Saturdays so it evens out! haha

CD 16 for me today. I don't know if I've O'd yet or not. I hope I have, but it's hard for me to get my temps straight when I can't sleep like I'd like to. Between my hubby's working hours and DD's waking hours... accurate charting is difficult. If I see a decent temp spike tomorrow I'll assume today is O day.

ETA: I should mention that if you really only count the part where I got serious about charting we were TTC for about 5 or 6 months. Because with the charting I realized that my LP was shorter than the "norm" and we were DTD too early to catch anything. I read that some B vitamin (I forgot which) was supposed to help lengthen LP, so I got serious about remembering to take a vitamin every day (I know, bad me). That seemed to do the trick for that issue. Also I was having some dryness issues (sorry, tmi) and decided to break down and order some pre-seed. SMARTEST MOVE EVER. We used it for the last 2 cycles and I got bfps for both. The first turned out to be chemical, but that's okay. It proved to me that it was possible for me to get pregnant. The next step was making it stick. I never in a million years thought the next cycle would be the one, but TADA! Oh and used OPKs for the first and only time on the cycle that I got my sticky

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that when you really pay attention to everything (and temp if it's possible for you), it doesn't HAVE to take as long as it took me. I know not everyone's ttc journey is the same, but just thought it might encourage you.

I'm sorry. I know how that goes. Hopefully everything blows over quickly for you.
