Hello everyone!

I am at the beginning of all of this. Initially we decided just to go off bc, but now I find myself looking for signs and symptoms every month. I decided in February that I wanted one or two more for sure (I have a 15 yr old already). But I was a bit leary about my chances because I am 40 and I had been off bc for almost a year. I am also a fitness competitor, which requires me to have a significant reduction in body fat when I compete. (OBGYN said this could cause fertility problems, so I am not competing for a while to see what happens.) My OBGYN sent me to a fertility specialist.

He looked at my ovaries and said they looked great...and I just got blood work back...
AMH is 6.33, FSH is 7.8 and Estradiol is 37. I'm not sure what these numbers mean just yet but the nurse said everything looked great.

I got a big smiley face on my OPK on Saturday morning and bd'd on Saturday night and last night...

My fingers are crossed and my prayers have been sent up! Anything encouraging at this point would be a huge help...

Hello, I am new here too. I have a son that is 15 too! i went off BC in April. I too thought I would just stop the pill and see what happens but now I am waiting for my first AF (she should be here anytime now!) and dying to make baby number 2 (OH's first). We can be buddies if you like?
