So I thought, as many others have!, that I would start my own TTC journal. So here is a quick (turned out long sorry!) background to my journey so far:
Starting TTC in May/June 07, I say May/June cause we started trying without protection at the end of May but I didn't start trying to work out O dates until June. I decided to go for a smear test in August as I hadn't had one for a while and thought it would be best to check out as we were now TTC. In September I got the results back which were not good and I ended up having a LOOP procedure to remove the abnormal cells at the end of October so that pretty much took November out for us especially as I ended up having an infection following the surgery and I was in the US training for work!!!
So come December we starting trying again in ernest though by this point I pretty much knew something wasn't right and I was not sure what effect the infection might have had. Truth to be told I still don't know if that infection has caused any damage, hopefully not. I also knew something wasn't right as my cycles were varying from 30/31 days up to 44 days which I read could be an indication of not ovulating. So in Feb I think I went to my Doctors and managed to convince him to run blood tests. He also wanted to do swab tests to check there was nothing lingering after the infection I had and also wanted to check my blood count so we did a trade! and as he wanted bood tests to check my blood count then he may as well do day 5 and day 21 tests too!!!! So I had these done which proved my gut instinct was right and I wasn't ovulating. He then decided to send my OH for a sperm analysis and completed a referal for me to the fertility clinic at my local hospital.
So come the end of May after lots of chasing for my appointment as I had heard nothing which led to paperwork gone missing or not received, I don't know I don't think I ever got the truth!!! I finally had an appointment with the fertility unit. They decided to put me on 100mg of clomid and HCG shots following a scan on day 12 of my cycle. My first round of this was done in June which unfortunalty didn't lead to a
though I think I may have had a chemical pregnancy but I don't have any proof just a gut instinct and slightly wierd AF. I was very disappointed as you can imagine when AF arrived though I didn't expect to be. The reason for this was on the 11th June I went for a job interview and was offered the position so therefore in the TWW I went through a whole range of emotions and went back and forth from I don't want to be pregnant this cycle to I do want to be cause its been a year now since I started trying!!!
So I put myself under a lot of stress so if I did have a chemical pregnancy I think this could have been what caused it.
Anyway, for this month I decided to not take the clomid and have a months break. This is because of having the new job and because the clomid made me feel awful, I swear I could feel the hormones raging through my body and made me feel so short tempered and constantly moody and I also felt a bit drained which I think was my body getting used to extra hormones being there. So this month we have been TTC naturally again. The nurse said the drugs would be in my system for a couple of months but it looks like this month I'm not ovulating.
So I am currently on day 15 of my cycle and going on my last cycle with the clomid and jab which turned out to be 28 days, I should be ovulating any time now if I do and therefore heading into the TWW. I have decided to start the clomid and jabs again in August as I hoping the new job will be less stressful than my current one and therefore make me happy again and help the TTC process.
Congratulations to anyone who has read all of this, I shall keep this updated with my cycle dates and symptoms and hopefully I will get my
soon. I have 3 tries of the current treatment left and then it is back to the hospital for another consultation which is currently going to lead to me being booked in for a Lap procedure.
Your story isnt too long, you know what? We all have different storys/backgrounds,its always nice to share 
but I'm so fed up at work at the moment that all I want to do when I get home is curl up in bed and watch dvd's all by myself!! Oh well only 2 weeks left at this job and then I start my exciting new one!! 
at the moment, one of the managers has just annouced that she is pregnant and due in January so therefore about 3 months gone we reckon. All I could think about was why isn't it me especially as I'm fairly sure this person wasn't planning this and maybe didn't know as they were going to job interviews where they are going to be living from August. Her and her OH are moving as her OH is forces and has been posted so she was applying for new jobs in their new place if that makes sense!!!
