TTC #1 FIRST MONTH <3, Who else is with me?

[audnaz]

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to concieve #1! This is our first month trying, and I am super nervous!This is my first time on a site like this, I'm hoping to make some friends so we can encourage each other throughout our journey! Husband and I got pregnant about 2 years ago(by accident) and ended up mc at 8 weeks. Even though this is our first month officially trying I'm so scared something might be wrong with me! I am a medic in the army and work at a clinic, the Dr. started me on prenatals but said no need for any testing until TTC for a year with no success. Positive vibes my way would be appreciated! LMP was Jan 22, lasting about 3 days, and cycles about 28-30 days long. Husband and I have been doin the deed about every other day since just in case. Any advice appreciated!

Hello and welcome! I have been ttc#1 for almost 9 months now. If you are having regular cycles then you will most likely be pregnant or have a baby by this time next year! Having sex EOD can get a little exhausting, unless you and your husband are like young 20s. We try to have sex every 2-3 days but don't always make it. The important thing is TIMING. You should try to have sex 2-3 times during your fertile window to optimize chances of conception. I would highly recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It teaches you the fertility awareness method and how to use your body's natural signs to predict your fertile window. It is really amazing that once you start paying attention to your body you will notice shifts in fertility signals. Many women also use OPKs. I have been using them as well, but I am getting a little tired of it. I also recommend temping which is part of the fertility awareness method. That will allow you to pinpoint exactly when you ovulated and when to expect a BFP or your period. Good luck!

Hi, I'm ttc #1 as well! I came off bcp last April but I have pcos and unfortunately don't ovulate. In August I went to see an ob-gyn and after some tests, I was given the green light and prescribed clomid, so now I'm just waiting for AF to show up. It's been a long journey so I'm hoping to get my at the end of the month.

I just started taking my bbt every morning and I'm thinking about picking up some ovulation tests as well, but still kind of on the fence about it. They're really expensive and I don't want to make this experience too stressful. I will be getting my day 21 progesterone checked though to confirm ovulation.

It's mine and my fiance's first month TTC too! We're really excited and nervous. We have a donor and are going to meet him Valentine's Day weekend. I've been temping since last month and I'm suppose to start opks on the 9th and hopefully O on CD15 and then the tww and testing around March 1st... I'm trying to be really relaxed about it since stressing does not help in anyway but I'm anxious to get started.
