Trying to Get Pregnant

Hey, I'm new! (Intro)

Hi everyone! My name is Katie and I've been creeping around this site for some time now trying to learn all the I can before trying to get pregnant. I never thought to check this board though, but I'm glad I did because now I have something new to take up my time!

Here's a little about me: I'm 24 year old. I got married to my best friend, Matt, on October 27th, 2012. We bought our first house together and got the keys the day before our wedding; talk about perfect timing! We have a 4 year old Husky-Shepherd mix dog named Ziggy and he's got more energy than we know what to do with! We have been in love with the idea of having children since we first started dating, but wanted to wait until we felt like our lives were a little more organized.

Well, now that we've been married for a little while and we're almost done with our house improvements we've decided to start trying!

I stopped taking birth control way back when we first got engaged (May 2011) and I started taking PNV a couple months ago because I knew it would only be a matter of time before we started trying.

AF is usually a day or two off from the previous month, this month it came on the 16th, last month it came on the 13th. So I can't really pinpoint when O is, is it safe to assume it will be sometime this week, beginning of next week or am I totally off? We tried Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday so far. I know it will probably be more around this weekend/early next week, but it's fun trying anyway ;)

I'm really excited to have a place to turn to when I have questions or just need to get my thoughts out and have a lot of people to help me out. I am the most impatient person in the world so this process is going to feel like a million years to me. I want it to be AF week so I can see if she comes or not (hopefully not!!)

My book is over now, thanks for reading :)

    Welcome and congrats on all of your recent life changes! One thing that helped me was signing up for fertility friend and starting to chart my BBT. The tutorials on the site were really informative and made me realize how clueless I was about my body/reproduction in general. You can just google it or click on my chart in my siggy and it will take you there. Good luck!

    Welcome. Temping with a basal body thermometer and OPK's are a huge help in TTC. That way you will know when you ovulated and when your most fertile time is. Best of luck to you.
