Hello...TTC since Oct 2007
August 18, 2008
About Me: I just celebrated my (first) 29th birthday ;) I am a twin (fraternal sister). I have been married 7 years; just celebrated the anniversary :) DH and I just purchased our first house. We've been in it for 1 month! *yeah* I am a graduate student in Geography; going for my Master of Science in Wetlands Biogeography. I'll be graduating in December 2008 (finally).
Health Background: I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Fibromyalgia (FM) along with a host of other autoimmune diseases, symptoms, and complications. I have had these since I was 2 yrs old. So, that would make it about 27 years with these ailments.
TTC Info: I went off of ALL of my RA & FM meds, except my pain control ones, and my birth control back in July of 2007. We started TTC in Oct 2007. After no luck for 5 months, I stared charting my BBT. After no real results after 3 monthes, I started also using OPT. After 2 months of no results with BBT & OPT, I made an appt with my OB/GYN. He looked at my charts and my OPT results and stated very matter-of-factly "You're not ovulating". Well, DUH! So, he had me do the blood tests (which made me sick) and I have to wait until my next appt (in a week or so) to see what they found and where we go from here.
Now, Here's the odd thing...I have extremely regular periods, but no ovulation.
We'll have to wait and see what to Doc has to say about that too.

I ovulate regularly (with the exception of the last 2 cycles but I think that was b/c I was doing a 12 week strength and fitness training program, but thats finished now) My doc put me on Clomid to give us a boost. Sounds like that might be the root that you'll be taking. Your doc will probably put you on something to make you pop those eggies out. Has he said anything about PCOS or ran any tests for it? It is not uncommon to have regular periods and not ovulate. Lots of women have that problem. Your doc will help!
You've come to the right site! All the women on here are awesome ladies and will give you great support! = )
