2010
September: Chris returned home from a 4 month deployment in Afghanistan. We decided to start TTC (trying to conceive) in a month or two.
November: Ended my last pack of birth control pills a few days before Thanksgiving and we officially began TTC cycle #1.
December: Decide I have no clue what I am doing. Read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility and begin charting my cycles using FAM (the Fertility Awareness Method). Cycle #2 begins.
2011
January - December: Cycles 3-13. I watch my BBT (basal body temperature) charts go from wacky to patterned, a sign that my body is working to regulate my hormones after years of BCP's.
December: Decide something isn't right and see my GYN to begin fertility testing. Dr. R tells me we need to do a SA (semen analysis) before any tests can be done on me.
2012
January: Begin cycle 14. Chris undergoes two semen analyses.
February: Begin cycle 15. One last semen analysis shows Chris has sufficient sperm. I get the referral to see the fertility specialist on base and make an appointment.
March: Begin cycle 16.
April: Meet with RE Dr. King. He suggests I have low progesterone so decides to test it. Progesterone level of 9.3 at 7DPO.
May: Progesterone level of 9.2 at 7DPO. Tried soy isoflavones supplement CD's 5-9.
June: Start Clomid Round 1. Progesterone level of 28 at 10DPO.
July: Clomid Round 2.
