Advice for lurkers, new to TTC and girls not TTC yet
I just want to offer a bit of advice that I wish I had thought of or been told to do prior to TTC
Pay attention to every single symptom you have all month long. You have a lot of them, that you probably don't even realize it
Because when you start TTC, everyday you feel a new pain, twitch, pull, tug, soreness etc. and think way too much into the symptoms that you have had all along but never paid attention to
After several months of really paying attention to them, I now realize that I get these cramps early on and then cramps again around O day and then again right before AF. I get sore boobs several times that I could swear on my life, I never had.
If you knew you had these before you were TTC it will make life and the 2ww a lot easier. Plus you will understand your body better.
I always thought I wasn't going to be one of those people who look into anything, and I didn't want to plan it out getting pregnant. I thought it would stress me out. but in the end, I feel more relaxed knowing what to expect and what my body is really doing.
HTH
Girls please feel free to add you advice!

Re: Advice for lurkers, new to TTC and girls not TTC yet
that is good advice...
when I got pregnant I noticed a bunch of weird things happening and I wasn't sure if it was a normal period since it was my first month off bcps or if it was going to be a bfp - it turns out it was a bfp....so i didn't have those months of guessing...but now that i have to try all over again and need to have a fwe cycles first i am "learning" my body like you said...
i am noticing a lot of strange things myself. things i may have mistaken for symptoms. now that i am paying attention i am like *** - i think i feel worse before my period!  
is it weird that i can't wait to go back on the pill?

Re: Advice for lurkers, new to TTC and girls not TTC yet
that is great advice! it is so true. The first 2 mths I read into every little pain, twinge, etc but it turned out to be nothing. Now I realized its just part of my normal cycle and don't get super stressed out about every feeling.

Re: Advice for lurkers, new to TTC and girls not TTC yet
I think thats great advice.
And if you have an Iphone there is a great app called TrackerLite. It's free and you can enter your symptoms that way you can look back to previous months and check symptoms.

Re: Advice for lurkers, new to TTC and girls not TTC yet
Heather that is such good advice!!!
Honestly for most people I think AF and early pregnancy symptons are VERY similar so it is such a mind game!
