leesa - with our 1st ,little girl ,just happened really really easy, we really wanted a baby but wasn't really trying, just lucky. 2nd time round started to try 6 months after having zara and nothing for over 12 months. was charting, mucus etc...but still nothing. went to my doctor and was told to send in hubby, just average sperm count (not low, but not high either), was then sent to IVF, found out i had mild polycystic ovaries as well , docter told me he was glad we didn't wait because most people wait too long (he said if you don't conceive in 12 months you should look further into it without waiting), had an examination and was given CLOMID for regulate my eggs and told hubby to get onto some vitamins, within 3 weeks i was pregnant (my little man is now 11 months old) and we are about to start trying for #3, but the good thing about going to the IVF was i had all the right tests and so did hubby, it cost around $500 plus medication. also i found out i had cervical dyplasia CIN 3 and have only recently had surgery as it had grown quite a bit so really my little man quite possibly could have saved my life.
really try to relax, oh yes the doc told us it was good to get those little swimmers in as far as you can, TMI sorry. it will happen, my doctor told me just how lucky i am to have 2 kids. i was 28 when i when to the ivf. take care of yourself and try not to focus too much on it everytime i got my period i was truly devastated. sending you lots of baby thoughts...take care
