Trying to Get Pregnant

First post - Hello everyone!

Hi everyone,

I have been checking out the TTC boards for a few months now, and I am excited to say that my hubby and I will be starting our TTC journey quite soon.  (We decided the start of 2011 was the perfect time to start TTC!). 

I have been taking BCP for about 9 years, thought I did stop taking them 4 months ago.  I tried charting for the first time this month, but I'm not sure I was very successful.  Hopefully I'll learn more as time goes on.

I just finished reading What to Expect Before You're Expecting.  I thought it was interesting.  Any other suggestions on good/ important books to read or other resources?

 I look forward to getting to know you all!

  • Welcome to the board!

    Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a great book to read. Also, Fertility Friend (click the ticker on anyone's siggy to get there) has wonderful tutorials.

    Good luck to you! :)
