Will we ever be parents????

I have decided to actually put this blog to use and to write about what I think is going to be a very long journey to me and my new husband being parents.

I stopped taking the contraceptive pill in April 2009 after we decided that we would see what happened on the baby making front. The result.... nothing.

We recently got married after being together for 4 years and in September 2010 we made the decision that it was time to start trying to conceive properly, at which point I started to take my basal body temperate (BBT) every morning in order to pinpoint ovulation and work out when was the best time to 'do the deed'!! I also started taking folic acid as recommended to try and prepare for pregnancy.

Anyway.... still nothing. I have had a couple of months where I have thought that I may get the Big Fat Positive (BFP) but no, not yet.

I am now starting to get worried that there might be something wrong with one or both of us. After nearly 2 years of being off the pill I am still not pregnant and it is getting harder every month with AF (Aunt Flow) shows her nasty head.
I have been pregnant in the past with a previous partner, but that pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks, which was devastating and still now can be hard to deal with. I have been able to get pregnant before, but cannot seem to get pregnant now.

We have made the decision that for the next few months I will try OPK's (ovulation prediction tests) to double confirm when I am ovulating... although the temperatures is showing this perfectly well. But we'll give it a go with the hope that this will help and get us the result that we want. A very close friend of mine was ttc for 9 months with no joy and then on the first month of using OPK's she got pregnant.

I have a feeling that it won't make any difference and we will be in exactly the same situation in a few months time.

If all else fails.... in 2 0r 3 months time we have decided that we will be making a trip to the GP together to find out if its time to start some tests to find out what the hell is going on.

Anyway.... fingers crossed for a BFP and I'll keep you posted!!!
