2002 - Come off the pill due to continual spotting. Thinking this is the body's signal to get cracking on a conception before it is too late! Age at this point: 34
2003 - 2004 - Two horrible years spent trying and failing, consulting Natural Fertility specialist and my GP who told me to stop worrying. In the meantime, AF opens on Broadway for a two week stint every month, thus ruining more than just the odd special occasion.
2004 - Finally got GP to give me a referral to an infertility specialist. Had to wait six months to get in! Did all the usual tests. Husband's sperm normal, I was ovulating etc. Only thing is, his sperm didn't seem to like me very much (starting to get paranoid). AF develops diva complex and absolutely refuses to go away. Time to call in the big guns.
2005 - One laparoscopy later, it looks like AF has been put back in her box. Diagnosis - endometriosis. It seems that endo produces macrophages which kill off sperm (that explains a lot) and interfere with ovulation, thus making conception difficult but not impossible.
