TTC was a three year journey for us. I have a bio child, but DH did not. We knew we wanted kids right away. We actually started trying right before our wedding. After no luck in six month I knew something was wrong. I got pregnant with first DS while faithfully on the pill. I thought it was my Dh's issue, but no it was me. I have endo. I was told after the lap I would be pregnant in three months, but no that did not work.
Our plan was to start the adoption process and try Clomid at the same time. We agreed that we would not go beyond clomid. Well we started adoption process Sept 2005 and we started clomid Nov 2005. We were placed with our son Jan 2006 and stopped clomid for six months, but still charted and used ovulation kits. July 2006 we restarted clomid. We did three rounds and called it quits. We started the process to become foster to adopt parents in Oct 2006. Told DH that i was reclaiming my body after three years and that he should not expect anything from me for a month. We went to a wedding out of town. Our sons stayed home with my brother. We did it that one time that month and two weeks later I was sooo sick. I took a test and was pregnant. I almost had a heart attack. We still became foster parents, but not foster to adopt. So now our home is filled. We have my bio son, our adopted son, three foster kids and our daughter is Due July 8th.
I guess what I am saying htat even if you stop trying it could happen.
