First Time TTC, Anyone Else?

[lilmonkey86]

Hi!:wave: I am new to BnB too! I just joined today. It was nice to find a thread that relates to me. My husband I have have been TTC for about 4 months now, but I've been off of BC for about 6 months. My cycles have been a consistent 38 days for the last 3 months, and AF was due on the 20th.... No sign!! So at 2 days late- I took a test and it was negative But still no sign of AF today... What do you think? I really don't know most of the acronyms and since this is my first time TTC, I'm not familiar with how most of this works. Please reply!

Glad you are feeling better! I wish you the best of luck at your appointment. And Thanks! not too much to report, I am 2dpo now so I just have the 2ww to suffer through and try not to POAS too soon! lol

Welcome to the forum!

 

[M.Ellen]

Yea! DO NOT POAS too soon! I feel like I did that for the first 3 months we were TTC and it just depressed me every time!

Hi Hun

I'm a newbie too and I'm also TTC for the first time.

I have started a journal on the TtC section of the forum! (Link below)

You should start one! I've found the girls who follow it are really helpful and always respond with support and advice.

If you decided to start one put the link on here and I'll stalk you xxx

This is my first time being a part of a forum. I do not know how to do any of the following (lol):

Add those cute looking signatures at the bottom of my posts
Create a journal

I will subscribe to your journal though

Well, I had my GYN Appointment yesterday and he suspects I have PCOS. He looked at some ultrasounds and bloodwork and that's how he's come up with this. I guess I am a little relieved to know that something IS wrong and that's why we've been getting BFNs! Today I am going to see a fertility doctor who I guess is supposed to be giving me some pills that help me ovulate.

I'm hopeful now. I'll let all of you know how it goes!! Hopefully I'll be doing the soon ...

BDn adn Baby Dust to everyone!!

you dont get to have a signature until you reach a certain number of posts, (in the User CP there is a signature section that tells you how many posts you need, I believe it is 5 posts) once you can add a signature, you can add a ticker... mine is from lilypie.com you just create your ticker and get the BB code, copy, paste and away you go!

 

[mrs micci]

Aww M. Ellen, I am sorry to hear that about your Dr's visit. But at least now you know how to make it better and get some progress soon! Best of luck!

Oh! And I have started a new thread on the ttc forums! I don't know how to link them to here just yet, but if you search "beginners luck" it should come up. ^_^
