I am going to try to make my story as short as possible.
We got pg on our honeymoon. I was taking oral antibiotics at the time, not sure if they helped thin some cm but I got pg. That pregnancy ended in miscarriage, not CF related, just something that happens.
We started TTC again right away after the miscarriage. After 12 months of TTC with charting basal body temp, fertility signs, ovulation predictor kits and natural cm thinning agents we went back to my OB/GYN. She order a semen analysis and an HSG test. She also sent us to the fertility clinic.
We met with a Reproductive Endocrinologists and together we decided that as long as the semen analysis and HSG came back normal we would do IUI the following cycle. We decided to do natural IUI, no fertility drugs because I was ovulating on my own on a very regular basis.
Semen analysis and HSG were totally normal. We got pg on our own that month, I ovulated the day after the HSG test.
Our daughter was born 9/6/05
Fast forward to our daughters 1st birthday and we decided we are just going to see what happens so we are simply not going to avoid pregnancy. This goes on for a few months with no pregnancy. Every month I could feel when I was ovulating and timing was right but nothing. I started charting again and using OPK, still nothing. At the 6 month mark I contacted my OB. She ordered blood work just to make sure my hormone levels were o.k. and said to make an appointment with the fertility clinic when ever I was ready. I did not feel a really strong pressing need to get pg right away but after a stellar CF check up with the best pft numbers in years we decided to go for it. I called the clinic and made an appointment. Since we had been there before they got us in right away, no 4 month wait like the first time. We met with the RE and we had the same plan, natural IUI, no fertility drugs. We did IUI the following month and we got pg on the first attempt. I am now 25 weeks pg with out second child.
