Hi ladies, can I join you?
I am newly married (June '11), 33 years old (hubby is 42) and step-mom to two great girls (11 and 8). We are TTC our first baby and we started trying in August - last month on BCP was July. I used BCP for a LONG time, so I'm probably still "off" hormonally. This is my fourth cycle, but our first using the CBFM. The last 2 cycles before this one I was using OPKs. We are also trying preseed this month and I'm also charting my temps for the first time. I'm currently on CD 15 and have my first high on the CBFM - yipee! I was getting worried yesterday when I was still "low" at CD 14, since my average cycle length is 29 days, and I typically ovulate on CD 17. With all the lows the CBFM has been giving me, I was worried it wasn't working properly, so we've been bd'ing most days this week, except for yesterday. We BD'ed this morning after the "high" result. It was such a relief to see those 2 bars! I'm still doing OPK (obsessive much?) because I just want to be absolutely sure we don't miss it. Ironically, I'm actually okay with NOT having gotten prego yet, as we are not completely settled yet (no room in our current apartment for baby, hoping to buy a house late summer or Fall 2012). BUT I must say I expected to have gotten prego by now (not sure why so overconfident about my fertility!) and each month that goes by makes me worried that something is wrong so each month I become more and more anxious for my BFP just so I know that I CAN get pregnant. Plus, I'm nearly 34, and we are also hoping to have 2 kids, so I don't have loads of time left. So that's me! Nice meeting you all and wishing everyone BFPs this cycle! Anyone else ovulating soon?
