I started TTC at the end of last October. I had the Paragard IUD in and we removed it. I got my period the day after we took it out, do our first real cycle with a chance was November.

I ended up missing my period in November and was very hopeful, but I just ended up being 22 days late because my body was adjusting to the change in birth control. January passed without incident- BFN.

February I did get a BFP, but it ended as a chemical at 4 weeks. I passed everything 3 days later.

March, especially after the chemical, I was expecting things to take a long time. My husband and I were both rather distraught and at this point, I gave up. 'What's going to be, will be'. Lo and behold, at the end of the month I got a BFP!!

I've had my hcg levels checked as my doc wants an ultrasound to confirm dating due to how soon it happened (I get that next Friday), and they're doubling appropriately. I'm 5 weeks, 1 day, and terrified I'll find out that this one is lost too, when I get my ultrasound.

The winning combo for me was using Preseed, Clearblue Advanced Digital OPKs, and lots of BDing (worked 2 months in a row for me after starting it).

So March was month 5 for me. Don't get discouraged- I know it's hard to keep going.

How long did it take you or is it taking you?
