Hi & welcome! You've joined a wonderful group of ladies- lots of support here! I'm Jackie (27), DH is Jon (28) and we've been TTC our first now for 14 months. Currently in the middle of some testing to see what the problem might be (other than me not ovulating most of the time on my own). I wish you the best of luck!

I'm sorry to hear of your illness. My BIL has IBS and I see what he goes thru and I know Crohn's is worse than that. But, that's great you're in remission. I just wanted to say not to get too down yet. I'm completely healthy, with regular cycles, and I do ovulate and it's STILL been 8 months of trying after our MC almost a year ago. It may take you longer than a normal healthy person, but don't give up!
