Maybe he's pregnant.

Haha! I keep asking him and he keeps denying it.

Hi ladies,
I'm very glad to have found this thread and hope you don't mind if I join you! I'm about to turn 31, and husband is 37. January officially marks our 10th month of TTC #1.
DH and I have been together for a really long time, and we waited until I was done with grad school, jobs were in hand, etc., before we started trying. We honestly thought it would happen pretty quickly when we started trying, so while 10 months TTC definitely isn't the end of the world, I'm definitely starting to get to the point where I'm a little bit nervous. This OPK/BBT/symptom reading stuff is all pretty new (and a little overwhelming) to me, and I'm really glad to find a group of women to talk to.
During the first part of this journey, we weren't using OPKs or anything, just trying every month. November '13 was the first month I tried to use an OPK (was the ClearBlue digital). The thing just gave me 13 straight days of flashing smiley faces, which aggravated me so I didn't use an OPK in December. This time around, I bought a different brand (just one of the test strip ones) and January is also my first month starting the BBT charting and all. I also signed up for the free FF trial to use the chart software. I got 4 days of positives on the OPKs this month, although the FF chart claims I O'd the day before I got the first positive on the OPK, so who knows.
This is my first time posting on a forum like this - I think the number of pregnancy announcements I've heard in the past week may have finally pushed me over the edge.
I'm glad to meet you all, and thanks for letting me join you!

Hey girl! Welcome to the group!
I love that you're from texas! Another southerner!
GL to you this month and lots of
I have no idea how to post with the cute little graphics, but big luck and baby dust to you, too!!
Thanks so much for the welcome ladies!!!
My temp dropped yesterday then picked back up today. This has happened a few times this cycle so not sure if it's O or not. Gonna test with an OPK a bit later today.
Its kind of silly but a few of my TTC buddies and I have been getting fertility readings lately! I got two a while ago and then got another last night. The first two readings said Girl- December/January (either conceive month or birth month) then this lady last night said Boy and that I would conceive sometime in the next 3 cycles. Which matches with the other 2 readings. I don't put that much merit into them but I find them interesting! And I really hope they turn out to be true!
Where do you find these ladies? Another lady I talk to on another post also did this and all 4 were pretty close.... You guys got me curious!
Here are the three ladies sites:
Cheri22- https://www.cheri22.com
Suzanne/Spirit- https://healingmessagesfromspirit.com
Tania- https://www.eternitytarotreadings.com
As far as the three go, I liked Cheri's reading the best, then Suzanne's. Cheri though has an issue with timing; she was pretty late on my readings. Apparently she had a family emergency but she did not tell me that in my emails with her, I just heard through someone else that she had posted it somewhere. But, both Suzanne and Tania were very prompt.
Obviously though, both Cheri and Suzanne said Girl for December/January. While Tania agreed on the months, she said a Boy. So, you can decipher that however you like as far as who is more accurate or not. (Of course, won't know for sure until I am pregnant haha)
I've always wondered what they'd say and if it'd really happen. I guess we'll have to see then! Hi ladies,

Good luck on all of the tracking methods you're trying. It can get overwhelming, but it's also good for peace of mind and to help get to know your body better. Don't beat yourself up for being normal, sweetheart. I'll be acting exactly like you here in a couple of weeks, at which point you can remind me that I'm normal, too. 
We'll get through it, non-crazy girl. 
Ever since my injury a year ago that led to debilitating headaches, I just can't exercise like I used to...aaaand I've gotten much chubbier. Technically I fall into the "obese" category now, but I don't feel obese...just a chubster.

That's. Hilarious.
So my AF according to two different apps is due two different days...either the 13th or 15th. I've noticed this afternoon a little bit of spotting and cramping so I'm thinking one of two things. I implanted today or my period is coming. I figure with the nausea this morning that I have a great chance it's implantation but I am also prepared for AF to show.
I've decided that if I start my period soon that I am going to start temping. I have a book on all that stuff so hoping this will give me a better idea on what my body does!
So, staying logical but still a slight hopeful!

I took my temp this morning since AF is supposed to start today. Since you are supposed to start on CD1. Figured I would start tempting this month also. Not 100% sure if I understand it so I may be posting really dumb questions soon.
I'm going to start temping as soon as AF starts. But hope that was your implantation, lsd2721, and you don't have to worry about it!

I have a funny story to tell... before we started TTC I decided I wanted to temp, just to learn more about my body so that when I was ready i knew when my ovulation was...
English is not my first language and I tent to do things in a bit of a hurry (I'm terrible at reading instructions and therefore a terrible baker because I cant follow any recipes right - although I'm an amazing cook). Anyways, I researched and it said I had to take the "basal body temperature"... I wasn't familiar with the word "basal but I knew what i was temping for so I figured it meant that i needed to chart my vajayjay's temperature!
I did that for months! and it was super hard because I had to physically hold the thermometer in there and vajayjay didn't like it very much and wanted to kick it out. Not to mention when the thermometer would just turn off or I couldnt hear the beep when it was done and had to do it all over again... ended up giving up the temping thing altogether
Just figured this out the other day! Felt stupid but now I just feel ********! Anyways, thought I'd share my donkey moment with you ladies!
Some people who get wonky temps orally end up temping vaginally. Both are good methods and work. I think I heard that vaginal temps tend to be higher though in general.
