in Trying to Get Pregnant
Hi. I've been reading these boards for awhile and decided I would like to get actively involved. So hello to everyone. My hubby and I have been ttc for 8 months almost 9 now and its very frustrating. I know on average it takes about 6 months to a year, but as I'm sure a lot of you feel, that doesn't make you feel any better. So I just wanted to join to see how others are doing and see if there are women in the same boat I am who almost cry everytime you are 1 day later than expected and then aunt flow shows up.  I could use the encouragement about now.  Thanks so much.

    Welcome! I'm in month 6 of TTC, so I'm still early in this, but I understand your frustration. Are you doing anything like temping with a BBT or charting your cycles? If not, most of us use Fertility Friend. Best of luck to you!

    I am charting, but not checking bbt. I'm charting just using an app and calender.

    FF has an app as well. For me it has helped a lot. Only way you'll know if you're hitting your fertile week timing. I'm a control freak so it makes me feel a little more sane sometimes. The girls here are super supportive (as long as you don't post a list of symptoms and ask whether you are pregnant...lol). Don't get too down :) And welcome a-board.

    I definitely recommend using Fertility Friend. Without checking your BBT, the app you're using is probably guesstimating your O date and FW.

    Welcome and best of luck!  I agree that using FF and charting with BBT is the way to go.  It lets you know when you have ovulated rather than just guessing.
