I have 3 daughters, the first two are 21 months apart and the 2nd two are 27 months apart. It was after having my 2nd I started noticing having subtle symptoms of fatigue and occasional ear pain. When I was pregnant with #3 I had a lot of "flare ups" yet all the while under the care of my pcp, ob/gyn and seeing the dentists every few months because I getting dental work done. I was either pregnant or nursing from 2004 til the day i was diagnosed. Oh and my first 2 were clomid babies, the 3rd one was a pleasant surprise!
I asked the dr why was I so advanced for having hardly any real noticeable symtpoms
