Trying to Get Pregnant

Intro- I'm new here

Ok, so after several months of lurking around, I figured it was time I came out and said hello!  DH and I are just starting cycle #4 TTC and so far it has been an emotional rollercoaster to say the least...never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have such a hard time with this!  It is comforting to read all of your stories as I can relate to so many of you.  You girls provide such a great support system for each other - I hope that you will let me be a part of that.  Big Smile

  • I suggest you sign up for fertilityfriend and chart your cycles, it really helped me control stress and emotions.  You can see how your timing was and also know when to take a HPT, or not so that avoids being upset over a BFN.  Good luck!  You can sign up for FF by clicking on my ticker in my siggy.Smile

    Would you like to read/follow my blog?
  • Welcome to the board. I would suggest signing up for Fertility Friend. You can click on any one of our charts. It is a very useful tool. Also, you may want to grab up "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" you can most likely grab up a used copy for a few bucks.

    Best of luck!

  • I know this may sound mean but I swear in no way is that my intention. 4 months is in no way a hard time. Yes, I agree it can be an emotional roller coaster but it can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant. You only have a 20% chance each cycle.

    With that said, I highly recommend that you chart and sign up for Fertility Friend if you haven't done so yet. The website is free and will help you so much on this journey. 

    Welcome to the board and good luck. I hope your stay is short.

  • Welcome & good luck!!  Like PP I highly reccommend TCOYF. Another book I like  as well is What to Expect Before Your Expecting.  Lots of helpful stuff.....also be sure to check out FF & myfertilitycharts.com to learn more about your body & charting. TCOYF has charting software as well...but it's pricey.

  • when I said it was hard- I just meant that it was hard on me emotionally... 4 months is nothing and I am pretty sure given my family history that this is going to be a long road
  • thank you everyone and thanks for the all the info!
  • Welcome to the board! I hope your stay here is short & sweet.
