I got my first period right before my 13 bday. I was always thin but developed
normally.
I read your response to my IUI post so I will answer here rather then start a new post! I am always happy to talk about my TTC journey. When we were trying to get pregnant the first time I so wanted to talk to every Cf women with children. I wanted to hear every story and gather as much info as possible. Now that I have been there I feel honored to share my experience with others!
I have regular cycles. Before having my daughter I had 29 days cycles with ovulation on day 15. Since having my daughter I have 30 days cycles with ovulation on day 16.
There are many women with longer cycles that get pregnant. Charting and ovulation predictor kits can help pinpoint ovulation.
Thick cervical mucus in women with CF can certainly make trying to conceive a longer process.
I got pregnant twice without fertility treatments. I am not sure how long it took us to get pregnant the first time around. I was off birth control for 2 years but I did not chart, use OPK or even time intercourse we just did not avoid pregnancy. I miscarried the first pregnancy. It took 14 cycles to get pregnant again and that was with charting and OPK. We were to try IUI the next cycle had we not gotten pregnant. Now we are trying for another baby. We have been trying for 10 months and as you know will try IUI next month. We are trying unmediated IUI because the RE we see is VERY conservative and does not want to risk multiples. If we tell him we want to be more aggressive he will honor our wishes but for now we feel comfortable going unmediated. Just like Wanderlust I feel confident that we could get pregnant again on our own but doing IUI is an option for us at this point and I feel confident that IUI is the right path for us.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I am sure you are not the only one who has questions and I am sure I am not the only one who is eager to share!
Take care!
Anne
