Hello all! I've lurked for awhile but thought I would say hello. My TTC story:
I started mentioning kids and babies to DH in Novemember but he didn't seem to have much interest and I wasn't sure that I wanted to try soon either. Then we were both hit with "baby fever" when one of my BFFs announced she was pregnant on New Year's. We aren't officially trying til April (using condoms until then). This is my first cycle off BCP. I have a copy of TCOYF and began charting.
Right now charting is driving me crazy. Have I o'd? Will I ever get crosshairs?
I know it really doesn't matter this cycle but I just want to know that I am o'ing and know my cycles when it matters.
Re: newbie intro
sounds like you're off to a great start! let me know if you want me to post the "helpful websites" post about abbreviations and technical help!
GL!
Doesn't look like you O'd yet, but keep tracking that CM everyday.
Welcome and GL!
Thanks everyone! Even though we aren't trying yet I feel I am getting prepared and trying to learn as much as I can.
Hope to learn a lot from you all in the future. GL to all of you too!!
Welcome! We're in a similar boat...we decided ober the holidays that we will TTC this summer. I went off BCP this month and started charting too (using condoms until May)...cross hairs will show after you have three days showing a thermal shift.
It's tough waiting and I got frustrated enough to buy some OPKs and they at least confirmed my suspicion about Oing. Sure enough, my temp shifted and a few days later FF showed cross hairs.
Good luck and hang in there! It can take a while for the body to adjust if you're coming off BCP.
