Introduction
Married in Oct 06. Waited a year and started TTC. One year later diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Started Clomid and took for 5 months. Found out from FF that I was ovulating much later than my dr. said. Changed dr's and he put me on a two month break from Clomid & Ta-Da!
I'm pregnant!

Tests, Procedures, Medical consultations
After given a a year, I seaked help. My Dr. diagnosed us with unexplained infertility and put me on Clomid. I hadn't even had any test but she assumed I wasn't ovulating. It wasn't until I started BBT, that I learned on my own I was ovulating late. That's when I decided to switch dr's. My new Dr did all test on my DH & I and said nothing was wrong, so took me off Clomid. Looks like it did the trick!

Trying-to-Conceive (TTC) experience
We didn't let it affect our lives too much b/c we saw how hard it could be on emotions. We didn't want to consume our lives in it. We did whatever we could as far as timing but we didn't stop our lives in any way. I became a blogger so that I had friends to relate to. It really helped me keep my emotions under control when I was down or upset.

Charting Experience
I give ALL credit to Fertility Friend b/c had I not started charting, I wouldn't have learned that I was ovulating late. It has taught me all about timing and how the body actually works.

The Internet
Blogging along with other women going through infertility helped me cope with it myself. And I gained several new friends.

Other Thoughts?
I don't want to say that when we stopped trying it happened. We may have stopped taking meds, but we were still definately ttc. With faith and patience, it will happen!
