I"ve been TTC since Dec 2011/Jan 2012, so a long time. We had our very first pregnancy in October, but I miscarried at 6.5 weeks on 11/8. My husband had a semen analysis that was normal. I have normal periods, get positive OPKs, fertile CM etc. We're pretty good about timing sex, but sometimes miss the window. .

I've started reading the book Making Babies, which I highly recommend. It's awesome. I have since started working on de-stressing my life, relaxing more, drinking more tea than coffee, but minimizing caffeine intake across the board, minimizing alcohol consumption, drinking water constantly, walking every evening (helps with stress and is a bit of exercise), eating better (more veggies, no processed foods), less bread and gluten, maintaining a positive attitude and most importantly caring for myself and my body. I've also started BBT charting.

I don't know if this plan will work, but I feel less stressed out about things and a little more in control of this uncontrollable situation. And charting is fun! You feel in tune with your body--comforted by its measurements and temperature etc. It doesn't hurt to feel for the first time that TTC could be fun because it really hasn't been!

I could have posted that myself. Our stories are that similar. We have been ttc since Sept. 2011. With one pregnancy in April of this year that ended as an EP at 6weeks. I have done 8 rounds of clomid- ovulate every time but still nothing, semen analyst- came back normal, HSG- tubes are clear, No signs of PCOS or Ed. It is even more frustrating I feel when you get no answers. At least if they found something we would have some kind of plan to start with. I am now on the last clomid round my OBGYN will give me. We will be taking a long break to save up for an ER and IUI's. Maybe we will get lucky and it will happen then. Baby dust to all of us.
