Newbie TTC in Dec 09

BC&MM

I plan to TTC in a week....any suggestions, hints, what to try. I lurked on GP and BOTB for 6 months and charted TTA for 6 months, so I know the jist of everything. I have been taken PNV, anything else.

Not much else you can do besides chart, take PNV, and hope for the best. Good Luck!

If you've lurked on GP, then I would definitely start posting there once you start TTC for support/ideas.   I hated temping and I actually never temped the months I got a BFP.  It made me think about it way too much.  I'm an OPK fan, and I hightly suggest getting some (earlypregnancytests.com).  Sounds like you have your bases covered.

Just bring your patience.

With us I never charted because my schedule was consitant enough but I did use OPK's on the last month and then I got my BFP.

I highly recommend lurking and learning from the ladies on the Getting Pregnant board.  I learned so much about TTC over there!

I wish there was a magic button to make you pregnant right away. unfortunately it took me 5 years.

Sending you lots of luck.

Don't call it BD, lol. It's sex.

Other than that, just try to take it easy. You'll read into every "Sign" but we can't help you with anything unless you test!

GL to you!!

We ttc for 12 cycles. The second month we did doggie style I got pregnant. So my advice is to make sure you switch up positions.

The GP ladies are great! If you've been Charting TTA for 6 months then you should have the hang of it and know your cycles pretty well by now. So, just have sex when you're fertile! GL!

I don't really have any advice, except have fun.  Good luck and your golden is just adorable.

Thanks all! Forgot to mention already using OPKs. It helped with the TTA.

Sounds like you've got it covered...I would just also advise you to remain patient! Might happen immediately, might take a while. Just don't freak out if you don't get your BFP right away. Sometimes you can do everything right and it still doesn't happen how or when you want it to. GL!

MrsAJB

Just be patient. We were trying for almost a year and charting every cycle and it ended up stressing me out, badly. We bought a OPK in October and got a BFP in November.

Good Luck!!

Just don't stress out.  Have fun with it- you don't want it to feel like a "job".  Good luck to you!!!
