Since Rosie was born just over 4 years ago I have not used any hormonal contraceptives. I had the copper coil for a year but it made AF worse for me so I had it removed. For the 1.5 years prior to TTC we practiced withdrawal (though I can't say we were very strict about it at all - fertile times/non-fertile times, we didn't pay any attention). During that time 2 of my closest friends fell pregnant whilst only using the withdrawal method. Yet here I am after 2.5 years of no contraception, 12 months of actively trying - using OPK's, charting BBT, logging every symptom and change - and still no pregnancy. I have lost almost 40 lbs and am between 7-10 lbs lighter then when I conceived Rosie and still nothing. I can't help but feel like I am to blame, what have I done? What is keeping me from getting pregnant when everyone around me has managed without problem? Am I being punished for something? I don't know where to go from here or what the next step is.

Fate and Fault
My last hope of being pregnant before August 25th, Snowdrop's due date, is gone. 12DPO and I have had 2 consecutive drops of BBT signalling AF is on the way. I expect she'll arrive tomorrow starting off Cycle 12/Month 13. I'm not upset I just feel kind of numb. I really thought that this cycle would be it. For the past 5 days or so I've had backache, cramping, tender breasts, fatigue and most weirdly a strange metallic taste in my mouth. Also I had this kind of thought that maybe fate would play a hand as if I had fallen pregnant this cycle I would have had the exact same due date that I had with my daughter. I guess fate doesn't really exist.
