Me, on the other hand, have finally found myself pregnant after 12 months of trying! I have one child already (she was an accident) so I don't think I have any fertility issues, I'm just rounding out the averages for all my fertile mertile friends. I also did OPKs, charted my BBTs, watched for cm, etc for over 6 months! Just took what seemed like forever to conceive, especially with all the pressure of the baby boom happening among my circle of friends!

Happy New Year! :)
