Hi girls!
DH and I are TTC and I stumbled upon this website while googling everything/anything related to TTC.
We started a few months ago and I am starting to get worried/impatient bc no BFP yet...
This whole process is so completely overwhelming and what makes it even harder is the fact that absolutely no one in real life knows we are actively trying.
I finally broke down and bought the CBFM and I even started temping so I know that my cycles are about 31 days, but my LP is a bit wacky - last cycle i spotted a whole lot during what seemed like the entire LP.
Sorry for the ramble :)

Welcome! Temping is going to teach you so much about your body. I would also recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It is so helpful. Good luck in your journey!

Re: Brand New :-)
Welcome! I'm in the same boat. We have been trying since Jan/ Feb and my cycles are back to 35 days instead of the 44 it used to be. I'm tempting and using first response digital ovulation sticks. Have you been checked out by your Dr? Send me Fm if you ever want to talk.

Thanks for the welcome and babydust!!!
We have been trying since feb too. Although the first two months or so we just winged it. Then I started with the OPKs. Always got a smiley but started tempting to make sure I was ovulating. Have only temped one month using fertility friend. Great site!
Haven't talked to doc yet.... :(
I'm sort of terrified of going. I'm overweight right now and am so scared of what they might say. What about you?

DH and I were just "winging" it a lot in 2011 figuring we will "see what happens." But with a 33-44 day cycle that year, winging it wasn't working.
Let your ob/gyn give you a check up (pap smear, sonogram) and they will send you for bloodwork for your hormone levels. Don't be scared bc they will guide you and determine if you need further testing.
