TTC-New to the Bump
Hi ladies,
I am a former Knotty and Nesty but haven't been on in a few years. DH are TTC our first baby so you know I was super excited when I found the Bump. A little about us, we will be married 5 years next month. We have been TTC for a few months with no luck so I have decided to change my tactics of just letting it happen to a more aggressive approach. I welcome any advice given!

Re: TTC-New to the Bump
Welcome! I recommend reading the newbie link, and when you feel you're ready, start charting your basal body temperature on Fertility Friend (it's free, you can join by clicking on my ticker). I also recommend using OPKs to predict your ovulation. You can get a lot for very cheap from Amazon (I buy the Wondfo brand OPKs).
Good luck!
Welcome to The Bump and the board
You will find a ton of helpful information here. Read the newbie link, here.
Also, a lot of people will recommend that you start charting with Fertility Friend. I had no clue what that even was when I first came on board and now I am learning so much about my cycles...things that I never even knew before.
Fertility Friend has some pretty great tutorials on their website! Good luck to you!
