Introducing me!!!

Hello!
I thought that I would start with a little bit about myself. Im 30 and my husband is 40 and we got married in May 2008. We knew that we wanted to start trying for a baby but I was on large doses of anti depressants and was advised that it was not safe. So, knowing from previous experience that I am quite sensitive to changes in medication doses we took it slowly. It wasnt without its ups and downs but I got down to a 'safe' level in December 2008 and have been trying for a baby ever since.

Its frustrating enough knowing that you want to start trying and being told not to, but when you do eventually start trying and it doesnt happen, well its just the icing on a rather horrible tasting cake. I always thought that there may be a problem as I had never ever had irregular cycles. I started charting my temperatures to get a better understanding of my body and discovered that although I have some really long cycles, my body always tried to ovulate at the right time but it only took a little stress and my body decided that ovulation wasnt a good idea!

We both started taking vitamins in December 2009 to boost our chances but this didnt help. After just over a year, in February 2010, we both had a few tests and they all seemed fine. Hubbys morphology was a little on the low side but only slightly and he had to repeat 6 weeks later. It came back the same and they advised repeating in 3 months. That will be in July and then we may get a referal to a fertility specialist if there is no change. As for my tests, miraculously, I had a 28 day cycle at the time and so it showed no problems with ovulation on the day 21 progesterone test.

I started accupuncture in April 2010 and am hopeful that this will balance me out a little. I have also ordered a book on hypnofertility on amazon and am looking forward to its arrival. I will try anything!!!

Thats a summary of things up to now, I hope you enjoy reading!!
