Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi. I am new

Hi everyone. My name is Jamie.  I have been lurking for a while now, and decided it was time to take the plunge to say hey.

 My DH and I have been married almost 6 months and in his words we are "not not trying".  I am going to the bookstore this weekend to get the book y'all all rave about.  We are going to actively try this next cycle.  I have looked at FF but my friend is a nurse and also very, very pregnant right now and she suggested for the first couple months I just use OPK's.  So I am not sure if I should chart or not.

I coach competitve gymnastics, and I am in love with the show So you think you can dance.  I have already learned a lot for lurking so thank y'all for that!

    Welcome!

    Charting or not is up to you. Her being a nurse and her being pregnant really means nothing to what will happen with you.

    Remember that you can have a +opk and not ovulate. Only charting can actually confirm that you have ovulated. Also, without a chart we won't be able to tell you if you ovulated or if you are late or how long your LP is.

    It's certainly not for everyone but without it I'd be lost.
