Trying to Get Pregnant
Finaly MARRIED and starting OPKs tonight!
Hey Everyone!!
We got married Tuesday and our first chance at a baby is coming up in the next couple weeks!!!! I am on CD7 so I think I will start using my OPKs tonight and continue untill I get a possitive (and if I understand right a few days after to make sure I don't have another surge?) I am going to skip the temping for this month and possibly the next few untill DH gets more onboard with "trying" right now (being a man) he wants to just "take it easy" and see what happens. I don't think he understands there is just a few day window, he is possibly on the "you can get pg anytime you have sex" wagan and I want to aviod giving him a sex ed lesson is possible 
Speaking of TTC myths does anyone watch Mike and Molly? They had TTC episode and it def came across as you can get KU anytime you do it and had DH rolling laughing.
...I have been trying to pload a wedding photo for my sig and it tells me the file is too big, does anyone have tips and tricks for how to resize and get it to laod?

Re: Finaly MARRIED and starting OPKs tonight!
First, you will never regret temping, but i totally get just wanting to be laid back about it. As for the photo, upload it to tinypic.com and copy and paste the code in your siggy box.
Good luck to you and congratulations on the marriage!!
ETA: to add some stuff.
This. I didn't temp the first couple months trying and I really wish I had. Not to say I don't understand where you're coming from on taking it easy though.
Congrats on getting married, and welcome.
Welcome and congrats on your marriage!
Ambsies' profile has lots of helpful hints about sigs and other technical stuff. But just to warn you, the Bump's sigs have been very glitchy for a few days now. They don't seem to be updating as they should.
This.
I wanted to take the "just see what happens for a few months" approach and then of course AF decided to get all screwy the month we started trying. Temping is definitley giving me a good idea of what is going on down there. I wish the universe didn't pick the worse times to screw with people lol.
Congrats on the marriage! and Good luck with both TTC and your new life together!
This!
Congrats on getting married! Welcome and good luck

Welcome, and good luck!
Congrats on the marriage too!
congrats newlywed and welcome! *cheers*
my hubs also is of the "dont overthink it" camp, but that's ok, i can do all the thinking
Dang it mike and Molly that is not how it works!!!
I was telling DH how dumb they were and I texted my mom to tell her!! TTC has ruined tv for me.
I'm going to put in another vote for temping earlier. I find that it helps me to be more relaxed overall since I can see if I've ovulated vs. obsessing over whether the OPK meant anything.

My Ovulation Chart
**All AL Welcome**
TTC since July 2012 Me(42): normal HSG low progesterone 2.5 and TSH 13.9 DH(41): normal SA
Anna Catherine 7/23/2012, 35 weeks 5 days, 5 lbs 5 oz (PProm)
Baby Sam 10/4/2013, 36 weeks 2 days, 5 lbs 14 oz
Exactly.. start temping just to get to know your body, but acknowledge that DH wants to take it easy and enjoy the newlywed stage for awhile. Babies are great but enjoying that time the two of you for a little while is important too.
