Hi everyone~
I've been lurking for about a month now, and now I've decided that I should probably introduce myself. I'm in my early 30s. MH and I have been married for almost 5 years, and have been together for 8. We have been TTC since January (off BCP since December). This is my third cycle, but AF is due any day now, so I anticipate that I'll be moving on to my fourth within the week. I'm not charting right now. MH has already stated that he does not want to have "sex by the calendar." So for now, we are just going to have fun and see what happens.
I want to thank all of you for all of the wisdom you have shared so far. I have learned a lot, and I know that I will learn more.

Welcome and good luck!
Just an FYI, charting is more than 'having sex by the calendar'...it's about making sure you are even ovulating and being able to identify if you have a Luteal Phase Defect. All the sex in the world won't get your pregnant if you aren't ovulating, or if you have an LPD.

Oh, absolutely... I didn't mean to offend anyone. You all have taught me so much about the whole TTC process. We may eventually decide to chart, due to the knowledge it will give us, but we're going to try for at least a few more months without it. We know this can be a long process, and we're in it for the long haul.
Oh no, you weren't offensive! Sorry if I came off as snarky, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to point that stuff out in case you didn't know. I've heard of too many people trying for a year only to find out they weren't ovulating at all, which is something you could learn from charting much sooner, that's all.
