Oh, not until like, 7 days after expected AF, just want to wait and be sure, not overspend on tests....I've done that before! Not going to assume anything until af is at least a week late.
this time though!
I'm 26 and TTC #1 also, today is CD42 for me this time around and we have been using pre-seed for a few weeks but so far I like it, sorry if this is tmi but i like the fact that you can BD without the nasty sticky feeling regular lubricant gives.... I have just started charting my temps.... haha who am I kidding I have been putting my temps into fertility friend each day for the last few days and hoping someday i will understand what is going on lol... i just got married in August... and both SIL's have since given birth to their first and with pictures of me being posted on Facebook holding my nieces i am getting the usual.... oh that looks good on you..... your next... and the worst one.... you knocked up yet?(some of my friends are a little rough around the edges haha)..... what do you say to that?? nope trying my best but looks like my eggs are rotten! GRRR! sometimes I wish people would realize its easier said then done sometimes, just because both SIL's had no problems getting PG doesn't mean all of us are that lucky, and all the added outside pressure is making it that much more stressful for us.... I have wanted a baby for soooo long and unfortunately out of respect for MIL and FIL we waited until we were married to start trying.... clearly that was a dumb idea! Rant Complete.... GL to everyone and wishing a
it would def be the best 
Hi! I am 26, ttc for number 1. We've been trying for about 10 months now...
In the past, I once had a ruptured ovarian cyst, and I've done a lot of deep thinking about that...I always worry that I will have more cysts, but last time I went to doc she said she couldn't feel any.. I wonder if maybe cysts are a result of my low-carb dieting attempts over the years.
Recently, I've been trying to improve my chances by improving my diet. I try to eat more fiber now, lots more vegetables, and I add ground flaxseed to a blueberry smoothie almost every day. I heard that flax can help make female hormones balanced better.
My GP Dr is kind of frustrating, when I ask for advice about ttc, she only ever says, "just relax, it will happen...you're young, you know, you can't go back once you have them!" I just laugh politely, but really? MY DH and I know that we want this and are ready for it, who is she to say not to "rush" things? We've been trying 10 months!
(My dr inspired my username..
So for this cycle, I went to an acupuncturist. He had me start to chart my temperatures.
As you can see, I'm trying to go the natural route..for now. I kind of believe that lots of things can be cured by proper diet, and that's something that hasn't been perfect for me in the past.
So if AF comes, it will be about a week from now.....I am so used to failing every month, I don't even know what I'd do if it was positive...I think I've gotten used to the idea of not being pregnant, but we'll see....
so there's my big long introduction.
I agree!! Good luck to you this round and to all of us!!
Thanks for explaining what preseed is, I was wondering while I was reading the post...If I'm not preg this time I will go find some too!
And I agree, if you feel like you're doing lots of BD and nothing's happening, why wait? Why not be proactive and do what you can right away? Especially in this day and age, when it seems like there is so much talk of people struggling to get pregnant.
Except for those annoying friends/family who seem to get pregnant without trying!
I'm not telling anyone that we're trying, not going to announce anything to real-life friends and family until I am firmly pregnant! (These boards are another story
Ya that's kind of rude of your friend to say that, pretty insensitive.
Agreed, at least there are these boards, where we want to know every detail of your experience- as long as we can share ours too.
......
So I'm in the dreaded waiting period right now, after trying acupuncture for the first time and adding flaxseed to the diet. I don't feel much different except for one thing....I've been dreaming like crazy! I start dreaming vividly as soon as I fall asleep, right until I wake up it feels like! Every morning I remember my dreams too.
I googled, "vivid dreams, pregnancy symptom" and of course get results saying that they are related.
However, not to get too excited, because I do this everymonth.
One month I might get a headache, and I'll google, 'headaches, sign of early pregnancy?"
Or last month, I had chest pain, so onto the computer I go, "chest pain...symptom of early pregnancy?"
ha ha ha...
The chest pain ended up being a muscular pain from lifting some heavy flax hay bales. Sigh.
haha. Just make sure you buy the organic, virgin, unrefined, cold pressed coconut oil.
