March 2005–bloodwork reveals hormone irregularities, but no official diagnosis as everything is “borderline” but they can’t pinpoint the root cause and my insurance won’t cover any other testing. Doc recommends BBT charting and OPK’s for a few months before more testing.
3/05-7/05–4 consecutive months of OPK’s–NO ovulation at all
7/21/05–first time ovulating pretty much all year (still didn’t know if I was reading the test right since I had never gotten two lines of the same color/tone before)
8/6/05–BFP pregnancy test(s)!!! Shocked and excited!
3/8/06–Son was born at 33 1/2 weeks after complicated pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes)
6/2008–stopped using BC completely (other than when I knew I was going to have surgery) Cycles vary from 35 days to 65 days w/o explanation. No pregnancy at all, so far have only had 4 periods in 2009, with two of those coming in the same month (stress?)
