Hello! & Introduction

MissusMeaganMissusMeagan member
in TTC after 35
I am so excited to be introducing myself to you all! I have been lurking for awhile, reading posts and articles, learning so much and trying to study up on acronyms so when I finally did make this first post I wouldn't make an idiot of myself. :)

Me:  39, DH = 41. At the beginning of this year we shifted from WTT to NTNP and starting this April will be TTC. I just downloaded the FF app, purchased OPKs and What To Expect Before You're Expecting from Amazon.

My question is:  are there any other tools that you think I should be seeking out as we jump into this new world? I'm kind of freaking out with excitement but trying to be intelligent, level-headed and patient at the same time. Good luck with that, right? :)

Thanks so much in advance! I can't believe how much I've already learned from the short time that I've been lurking... and I hope I got all the abbreviations right!

    Get a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It's an invaluable tool in the journey to conception. Other than that, welcome!

    Welcome! I'm new too and there's just so much to learn, but it's so exciting! I just got my copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility last night and started reading. It's amazing how much most of us just don't know about our bodies and how they work.
