Well after several weeks 'stalking' these forums, I thought it was time to introduce myself and get a bit of advice on where I'm at. BTW, I love these forums - huge help so far!

Firstly, I'll apologise in advance for TMI but that does seem to be the norm on this site! I've been off the pill for 3 months now (this is my second time off the pill in the past 3 years). My cycles seem quite normal excpet that I now spot for 2 days before full flow. I'm not taking my temps, just keeping track of dates, signs, etc. I know I'm only new to the TTC game but i have a couple of issues and was wondering if anyone else out there is/has been in the same boat.

1. I suffered from endometriosis for years - signs appeared just before my first period at 12 and I was put on the pill at 15 to help with the pain and heavy flow. It was pretty severe to the point that my doctor suggested that I try conceiving as early as 18 to avoid possible infertility. I'm now 29 and my last trip to the gyno was a few years back and he told me it seemed as though my endo had reversed - woohoo! My only concern is now, how much damage was done in the early days??

2. Although my cycle seems regular (i count day 1 from full flow, not spotting - is that right?) I'm yet to experience EWCM. I honestly think I noticed more CM while on the pill! Anyway, I do feel wetter (sorry, TMI!) around the 14 and a few niggles of pain (which can continue over a couple of days) so I'm guessing this is my O time but do you need the EWCM to be certain? Thinking I might invest in OPK's.

3. Hubby has a low libido which makes it very hard to get in a bit of BDing every second day as recommended. This has been an issue for a few years now and we have seen specialist and have done lots of reading but at the end of the day, if someone isn't really intersted in 'getting it on', there's no point forcing the issue! I feel quite alone on this one so would be very interested to hear from anyone else in this situation.

In saying all that, we are 'actively' TTC and if my calcs are right, O day was last Saturday and yes, we had one sessiond of BDing (plus one earlier in the week) so fingers crossed for December I guess!
