Hello ladies! I have been lurking and occasionally posting on this board for the past few months. I have learned a bunch from lurking, the newbie link, and FF.
This is my 4th/5th cycle TTC with the first one really just not trying to avoid. Now it seems like this is all I think about! DH and I have been married for just over a year but have been through a lot together... I had an eating disorder when I was in my late teens/early 20s that required several hospitalizations, but I have been in recovery for 8 years now and I am finally comfortable in my own skin. That being said, fertility has been something I have to wonder about... the doctors told me that because I was amennorehic for so long that I may eventually have trouble conceiving. I took BCP and responded "well" and had periods each month. (Although I know that does not mean I am ovulating) Anyway, I was only tracking my cycle length and CM for the past 2 months. This month I am using CBE OPK and I am going to start charting next month!
I will probably be doing more lurking than posting, but I wanted to say "hello"

Welcome to the board and GL with your TTC journey. I hope it's short and sweet.
As far as thinking about it all the time, that's completely normal. We've been TTC for 6 months now, and I still think about it A LOT. It has helped to get a hobby that I can throw myself into.
