Hi! I'm new here.

Hi ladies - I've been lurking for a few weeks to get a feel for the place & decided it's time to intro. DH and I have just started TTC and have been doing a lot of reading/googling/research to know what to do, what to expect, etc. I've read the newbie blog and it was definitely helpful - especially with the acronyms!

I've also signed up for FF & am reading their email lessons. I'm not charting just yet, though I plan to start soon. I just had my IUD removed on the 16th after having it for 1.5 years. Prior to that, I had been on BCP for 13 years. So basically...I have absolutely no idea what a "normal" cycle will look like for me, or if I've even been ovulating. Once I have my first BC-free AF, then I'll begin the charting. In the meantime, I'm just paying attention to CM and trying to go ahead and establish some good habits with my diet, water intake, PNVs, etc. We've also gone ahead and increased our BD-ing (improper use of acronym?) - mostly just to get in the habit and since my doctor advised there is no harm in it, even though I'm yet to have a full cycle post-IUD.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to participating & getting to know all of you. Once I do start actively charting, I'm sure I'll have a million more questions.
