the land of TTC

My husband and I have been TTC for what seems like an eternity. After our church wedding on January 2010, I stopped taking birth control pills (BCP) and I honestly thought I would get pregnant immediately. Weeks passed, months went by and I was wondering where my BFP was... I knew it would take me anywhere between 6 to 12 months before anything happened, since my periods are irregular and I could "feel" the remains of the pill still in my system, but I have to admit that secretly I was hoping for my BPF to show up at any time. So I gave it a 10 month period before we started "officially" TTC. Right before the 12 month mark, (end of 2010) I bought one of those Clear Blue Fertility Monitors and a couple of month supply of sticks. I was sure this was going to be my magic tool to get pregnant. One month, two months, three months... nothing. I had to soon re-order more sticks for my monitor. Four months, Five months. Nothing. I kept trying and trying, testing with the CBFM and every month testing to see if I was pregnant. Six months, seven months... nada. By August I had my annual OBGYN exam and I talked to my doctor about what was happening. She wanted to start tests right away. She ordered the normal: 2 day and 21 day blood test, HSG test and husband's sperm analysis. She also recommended me to start charting my basal temperature. Everything came back normal, except for my progesterone which was a bit low (8) and oh yes, my charts were showing a very long time before ovulation, so she suspected I wasn't ovulating normally or maybe, in some months, not ovulating at all. We started clomid, and after 4 failed rounds I was directed to a Fertility Specialist.
My FS is pretty nice and she seems to know what she's doing. She wanted us to try Clomid one more month (at a higher dosage) and see what happened. Well, that cycle was my miracle cycle, as I got my first BFP EVER. It lasted only a few days (chemical pregnancy). My HCG levels were too low and the nurse advised it wouldn't be a viable pregnancy. I was very sad becasue the pregnancy ended in a few days, but I was relieved by the fact that I was able to get pregnant, even if it was for such a short period of time.
Next, my doctor wants to do IVF. So here I am, waiting for a nasty cyst that showed up 2 weeks ago on my right ovary to go away. I have a baseline sono scheduled for next week (July 5th) and hopefully they will tell me I am go to start.
