Hellobee Boards

Yay, new-ttc buddies! This is our first cycle trying off bcp too! I think I ovulated Monday (cd 13) bc I had some period like cramps, but who knows. We had sex that day twice so let's hope!

@lilybugg78--ah that's all I can think about! I am trying not to expect it so if it's a BFN it won't be as bad.

Where is everyone located? I get the sense there aren't a ton of RI people on the boards! My friends are not in the same stage we are so it would be great to make some Mom-friends!

We just finished our first cycle of TTC post miscarriage in August. In June we got pregnant the first time we tried and were really hoping this would be the same.
We chart, but we started charting right after our honeymoon in order to avoid pregnancy.

Ooooh, I'm excited there are so many January starters - that's when we're starting too!

For everyone TTCing now - I hope you all see BFPs very soon and have sticky sticky babies!

Yup we're in a similar situation..first month trying. I totally thought, like you, that I wouldn't want to chart because I wouldn't want to get obsessive about it. But it turned out that having no idea what was going on with my body was more stressful than temping. So now I've been temping and while I may check fertility friend multiple times a day (even though it doesn't change over the course of a day, lol), I'm doing pretty well with staying relaxed. I mean, the information is what it is--it's generally pretty clear so there's not a ton of room for obsessing over what it could/might mean. Until you get to the TWW, that is! Then it's obsession-ville all the way.

My husband and I just started TTC as well! I went off the pill in October and used OPKs to track ovulation. I too am a worrier and over-thinker so I don't think I will start charting for about 5-6 months (hopefully I won't have to!) Am expecting my "friend" the end of next week so wish me luck!

@sorrycharlie - Currently DH & I live in NH. But I'm originally from the Cape, met DH at URI and he's from northern RI (if there is really such a thing haha). We're "kinda" new to this - cycle 3. Always assumed it would happen right away but really trying not to stress

@sorrycharlie - definitely a small world! well, also, RI is a pretty small state haha! i grew up in falmouth, though also lived in wareham for a short time when i was little. DH is from right outside of providence and we currently live in a little town near nashua! glad to meet a close-by fellow TTC'er

This is my first week off BC. My "charting" consists of... actually keeping track of my last period. That'll be it for several months, along with kind of being aware of O signs..

This is our first month TTC. I am a little anxious about the process (not good, I know) and am charting, using CBEFM, and using OPK's. Based on the monitor and OPK's I should be ovulating today or tomorrow. I can't wait for my first TWW!

We are also from MA/NH-so cool to see so many "locals" on here.

@mrsjyw: Ooh, have you tested?

We're relatively new to TCC... we also threw caution to the wind on our honeymoon, but BFN. This cycle, I started charting, but my chart is a little wonky... We're hoping we BD'd in my fertile window, since my CM and whatnot didn't add up with my temps. If not, then on to cycle 3!

I'm from MA as well!

This is our first cycle of TTC too! We're currently 5 days into the TWW. Congrats on starting your TTC journey!

@mrsjyw: it's so frustrating, but it's probably that you've just come off the pill. My first cycle off was 36 days, then 46, then 46. I'm hoping this one is shorter...

Yay! We're in our first TTC cycle right nwo! I'm O-ing right now so planning to BD and start the (what I've heard) long TWW! Good luck to all those starting and fingers crossed for lots of BFPs soon!
