I met my DH in 2003 & we got married in 2006. We decided to wait to TTC until my last semester of college, then a cruise bumped the date out even further (they are strict on how far along you can be), but finally in June 2008, we decided to give it a go. Finally on our 6th cycle (and ironically right after the crusie we'd bumped TTC'ing for), we got our beautfiul BFP! It is so surreal, and I honestly won't believe it until I see our baby. Stick bean stick!
