New here!

I've been lurking around these boards for a while now, but finally decided to create an account and introduce myself!

My name is Liz and my husband and I recently got married (July). We have been TTC since August of last year with no luck. We have talked about getting checked out to find out if there's any certain reason as to why we are having trouble, but we are both pretty nervous and keep hoping that it will happen when it's meant to. Needless to say, every month has turned into a roller-coaster of emotions, for me at least.

You all seem like such a great & supportive group of people and I'm very much looking forward to sharing my journey with all of you!

    I'm sorry you are here but glad you found us. This group has helped me keep my sanity (until today when I snapped). It helps to have others who don't add in the "just relax and it will happen". Everyone here has various diagnosis and treatment plans so the knowledge pool is amazing. Good luck and I hope you get a bfp soon.

    Welcome and good luck.  I would make an appt to see what is going on.  Have you been temping or using OPKs?  We tried for awhile with no luck and I decided to try OPKs and for 3 mths straight I never got a positive but AF came right on schedule.  Decided to talk to Dr and found out I wasn't ovulating naturally.

    Thank you everyone! I recently purchased the Clearblue Digital Fertility Monitor so I'm interested to see if that will help at all. If that doesn't work after a few months, I think our next route will definitely be to get checked out (which we have been trying to prolong)

    I've never used the monitor but I've used the digital tests. I also use the wondfo strips to use in the afternoons since clearblue says FMU
