Hi ladies!
I want to start off by giving one big giant THANK YOU to this board. I have been lurking for a couple weeks, and wow - I have learned SO much.
I have read that Newbie blog over & over. And I will admit, I had to have the acronym glossary open in one tab & the message boards opened in another so I could understand what all was being said for the first few days I was reading in here.
I seriously can't believe how completely clueless I was to all things TCC before coming here.
To me, "charting" was keeping track of the days you got your period & counting over 14 days to see when you ovulate!
It didn't take but a day of reading in here to ditch that Ovia app, sign up for FF, go get a thermometer, and order some OPK's.
Anyways, I know I still have a ton to learn - but this has been so helpful.
A quick bit about me -
I'm 26, my husband is 25. We have been married for 3 years and are very ready to grow our family with baby #1.
I have been off the pill for 1 year, but we used other methods of protection & this is our first month of TCC.
I am thrilled to of found such an informative community that isn't afraid to shoot straight!
