Hasn't a clue what she is doing...

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi everyone.

Hubby and I are starting to try again after having had a loss last year. Last year it seemed so easy, and although this time it hasn't been long at all, I feel like I don't know what I am doing with charts, etc. All I've been paying attention to is ovulation.

 Should I just stick to ovulation or should I pay attention to other things as well?

    Charting is a great way to supplement your OPK's and the only way to CONFIRM you actually O'd.

    What else would you pay attention to? If you want to get pregnant, have sex around ovulation. Im not sure what else you should pay attention to. sorry.

    This.

    Sign up with fertility friend and take the tutorials. They're great and will help you sort out the charting if you decide to go that way.

    Good luck.

    Well I am hearing (and reading so much). Ive been told to take my temp, to pay attention to cervical mucus, etc. I see these charts on here and other boards where people ask others to pay attention to their charts...

    I'm on overload.

    Your best bet- start by going on fertility friend. Get an account and start temping asap. From there by reading the tutorials you can learn how to check your cervical mucus and your uterus. I knew nothing before going on there and now I can atleast keep up with the conv on here  Smile Thats the best way to know your body and whats going on inside you. HTH GL

    LOL. It can be information overload when you first start getting into the charting. I'm not so good at keeping up with checking my CM, so I mostly just stick with the temping. Fertility friend makes it easy to keep track of it. And once you get in the swing of it, it makes a lot of sense. I find it helps me stress less about TTC since I know what's going on with my body, like when I O, and during the 2ww. I'm one of those people that likes having a lot of information on hand when I'm doing anything.

    If all of it is too much at one time. Pick two things each month you will do new. Like this month start charting and watching CM. If you dont get KU this cycle. Then go for charting, cm, and cervix position. If can be very overwhelming at first.

    Welcome to the board and hope your stay here is short!!
