About time for an Intro...

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi All!  So I've been lurking on the forums for a while and decided one day to start up a discussion (prior to reading the newbie blog - thanks to everyone who helped me and didn't ream me out for not following the rules!! OPPS!)

DH and I decided we wanted to try to have a baby but we didn't want to add stress to ourselves by obsessing over it - so we decided just to stop preventing.  The only tracking I did was monitoring how long my cycles were since I'd been on BC for YEARS.  Well, after 4 months of no preventing we are no closer to a baby.  I realized that I'm getting more frustrated not having an idea of when I'm ovulating etc.  So after some advice from some lovely ladies, I began temping about 1 week ago and using FF. 

My cycles are around 25 - 27 days and I'm currenlty on CD28 with a BFN this morning.  Here's to hoping for good news and staying positive in the disappointing BFNs.  Good luck to all TTC :)

    Thank you all :)@kkirste I think I am way to type A as well - I'm hoping by temping and charting I will feel better about all of it... Really I am just very anxious for the day I see a BFP :)

    Welcome! Temping helps me feel like I'm doing something proactive, and it's nice to have an idea of when to expect AF. In the past I didn't track temps or use OPKs and had just enough variation in cycle length to get really stressed out waiting for AF sometimes which led to unnecessary POAS and one totally useless urgent care blood test. I could have saved myself a lot of stress by learning all this stuff about my body and charting back in the day. :)

    Ah that's exactly how I feel! I've spent so much money on HPT so I'm excited to start knowing what to expect! Thank you everyone!

    Welcome! This is our first month TTC, and at first I was totally against tracking ANYTHING. I just wanted it to happen naturally. But the more I surfed this website and read what different women had to say, I started tracking multiple things and am SO glad I did. I don't feel so "out of the loop" with what my body is doing. Good luck! Hopefully we move over to the First Trimester message boards soon!
