Hello Ladies! I'm Ashley. I'm 26. Hubby and I have been trying to conceive our first since February 2014, so I'm just starting my 8th cycle TTC. Last cycle, I got a couple BFP's and was pretty excited about it. But, AF started 2 days late, so I guess it was a chemical pregnancy. I was upset, but I also know how common they are, so I'm actually pretty thankful it happened early rather than later on. I'm hopeful for this cycle….it seems that a lot of ladies conceive the cycle after a CP. I still do OPK's, but I don't temp anymore. I've gotten pretty regular, and I'm confident in my abilities to be able to pin down my O date every month. Plus, ovulation charts stress me out. I'm trying really hard not to be as psychotic about all this as I was in the beginning.

…I'm not exactly sure what else to say. I'm trying to get my bearings on this board, and not wanting to fumble around too much. Good luck everyone on their TTGP journey!

Welcome.

My suggestion: go back to temping. It's the only way to truly know you are O'ing. Many of us can say we are "regular" but each month can change slightly. It's going to make you much more accurate.

Good luck and I hope your stay is short!
