I know my last post was confusing, and I really don't want to rehash that.
Long story short my SO and I agreed to go off bc. It's more of a "let's see what happens" kind of thing...but we are both actively trying. He and I both are able to travel together. We have been trying to conceive for a couple months.... I will include I had a fallopian tube removed in my teens. I also had cysts on my left ovary and it was removed
We have been trying for a couple months... I'm getting frustrated.

It will give you a fertile window and will take the guessing out of the equation.
Hope this website helps you and best of luck!
Learn about charting. Or have sex every other day like clockwork until you get a BFP. But it can take a healthy, normal couple up to one year to conceive. My OB doesn't want to refer anyone to RE until they've been charting consistently for 12 months if they are under 35. Over 35 and it's 6 months.
Get a basal body temp (mine is from amazon) and learn to chart. There is a learning curve but by month 3 I understood what was going on.
This. Unless you at least entering your BBT each day, this app has no clue. Read the fertility friend website, (that app is helpful) and get a BBT thermometer and chart your temps. Everyone's body is different so unless your entering this type of info, that app is useless
BFP 6/15/14 EDD: 2/24/15
I started using the "My Days" app a LONG time ago while still on BCP just to track my 'periods' so I would have an answer when I got to the Dr's office. I used to take it continuously, skipping sugar pills and would occaisionally give myself a break which made it really hard to recall my last cycle when the doc asked.
This app really serves as a diary for your cycle, allows you to take notes, record temp, set predictions for period & ovulation to automatic or manual. It is a free app (I think) and even includes a chat room where other users can exchange feedback.
As for your 1st posting.... I was confused by the title and immediately panicked worried about the onslaught of snarkiness doomed to head your way. After reading, I agree you chose a poor title as the decision to "pull the goalie" was clearly arrived to through mutual awareness and communication of your intent. Immediately I think of the discussion my DH and I had Friday night (see separate post).
#1 - because you have a history of risk factors that could potentially impact your fertility - did you consult with your Dr on these issues when you had the IUD removed? Some recommend "preconception" appointments for those with health histories that may cause concern and these areas should have been addressed at that appointment.
#2 - if you havent already - start charting & even purchase ovulation test kits so you can better adjust the prediction settings (or turn them off) on your tracking app.
Good luck TTC, I hope you don't stress too much!
