Thought it was about time I added what I did.

I had been trying for almost 11 months when we got our sticky BFP, with 2 MC's in that time. I have been temping since November.

The last time I had EWCM was on Boxing Day last year, and resulted in the MC in January. I was taking a general multi-vitamin that didn't have Vitamin A in it, and was trying to eat healthy and exercise more, I had lost 6kg in 6 months. Hubby was cutting down on Alcohol and had lost 30kg in 6 months.

The MC messed up my next cycle by reducing my LP by 2 days, and in March we got another BFP, which sadly was not sticky either.

I started B vitamins after the March MC as I had been told that they could help, but I only ended up with a very long cycle (39 days instead of my usual 28-31 days).

We had no luck for months, I stopped taking the multivitamins and just tried to relax, I was ready to give up and thought it would never happen. I even got quite depressed for a while there where I fantasized about harming myself.

Hubby helped me out of it, and I just took it one day at a time, and I started taking some Folic Acid tablets just prior to my last AF, and this cycle I didn't know when I O'd, I thought it was at the start of the cycle, but FF showed no sign of it having happened. Then on CD21 I got a bHCG test and progesterone test done, bHCG came back negative, Progesterone was below 15, so no sign of O, but according to FF I O'd on CD21, which just happened to be a couple of days before Hubby's birthday.
I drank on hubbies birthday, July 7th, and for a week after that, then on my Birthday (13dpo, July 18th) I started getting a little bit hopeful as I was very emotional and hormonal, and begged hubby to get me a test. He refused, but gave in on the evening of the next day (14dpo) and we got our BFP! It was very faint, and the next day I had a bHCG test done, which came up with levels of 29, so very low, meaning implantation had only occurred withing the 7 days prior.

We DTD only 3 times that month, once at the start of the cycle on CD 7, again on CD 11, and then again on CD 18.
I thought we would have no chance this month, and I have lost 6 angels now, and my DS is the only other one who has made it past 8wks, but we did catch the eggie this month and now I'm 8wk 4d.

Sorry for the long story, I'm sure you didn't all want to read it, but I thought I would share it so that those who are going through this and have been through similar things can know that there is hope.

edit: I also forgot to add that our sticky BFP was the second month that we had started spooning to DTD, apparently it helps get the sperm very close to the cervix.
