Trying to Get Pregnant

Am I KTFU?!

DH and I had semi-protected sex, and since then I'm been feeling funny. AF isn't due for 3 weeks, but do you think I'm pregnant?!

 

....I kid, I kid. Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a frequenter of the baby names board and DH and I started TTC this month. I've joined fertility friend and so far am just tracking AF and CM, but just bought a thermometer today and plan to start tracking BBT as well. DH thinks I am nuts, and keeps saying "let's just have sex a lot", but I find all the fertility stuff fascinating. I've learned so much just from lurking here and am looking forward to learning even more! I am still getting used to the acronyms, so I apologize in advance if I seem like a moron sometimes Smile 

One question: in all the 2ww threads there is a question about timing. Just curious what it means? It's probably really obvious but I can't figure it out!

Re: Am I KTFU?!

  • Welcome & GL!

    Timing refers to when you had sex around O, O-3 would mean 3 days before ovulation, etc.

  • lol. hi and welcome :) sounds like you've done some research and are ready to go! i am fairly certain the "timing" refers to when in the fertile window sex was had. does that make sense? (someone correct me if i'm a moron). anyway- good luck to you! 
    trying for #1 since May 2012... we're adopting! bringing home baby boy in january 2015!

    Glad it's not just me!! I read a post a while ago where someone's H was asking them questions about CM...I think if I ever mentioned CM to mine he would just cringe!

  • Welcome and good luck!  Hopefully you will be KTFU soon!
  • Must be the day for H's to be "over" the tracking thing in the first month...my husband doesn't understand why I need to pee on things and take my temp, he says "millions of women have gotten pregnant for millions of years without it"...I just smile.

    ***SIGGY WARNING***

    DX: Unexplained
    6 Failed IUIs (Clomid and Gonal F).  
    IVF #1 began August 2013- BC, 4 days of Estrace, stimmed with Gonal F and Menopur, Ganirelix, 9R 5M 5F, Medrol and Doxycycline, 5 day transfer of 2 early blastocysts- good quality, Progesterone, Estrace, and baby aspirin, BETA on 9/20 BFN,   IVF #2 began September 2013, stimming with Gonal F (higher dose) and Menopur, Ganirelix, 18R 14M 9F with ICSI, 5 day transfer of 2 BBs one was starting to hatch, 2 frosties: 1  BB and 1 AC, BETA on 10/21, BFN BETA was a 5- chemical

Prolactin was slightly high when I started with my RE and I already had an MRI which was Neg.  Endo biopsy=negative.  WTF is wrong with us???
