Hi Everyone My name is Kelsey and my hubby and I are starting our third month of trying. We've been married 5 years. I have not been ready but now am. I have baby fever. My friend just had her baby and I'm in love! I took my last pill after 10 years in July. I'm with everybody else wanting to get that big BFP right away. This past cycle I used the app, ovulation test which I'm positive worked (went from nothing to matching lines over 3 days) and tried 4 times in the fertile window and 2 more right outside it. I've always had a regular cycle and been normal. I lost 60 pounds and exercise 3+ times a week. I'm day 10 post ovulation and have had zero symptoms until today. I'm crampy have a terrible headache and fatigued. It could be PMS. I guess my question is if it didn't work is there anything else we can do? I have started charting my temp this week. Any suggestions are welcome. : )
Welcome You're doing all the right things, temping will really help you understand your cycle better. It can take a normal couple a year to conceive so learn as much as you can, but have patience
Congrats on losing all that weight, that is an awesome achievement!

Depending on how long your LP is you could possibly test if you wanted to. Many think if you are possibly having symptoms then you should be able to see a line, even a faint one, on a HPT. I have gotten a positive at 7 DPO.
