I just wonder after looking at all the threads about cycle buddies, cycle month, etc I am so totally lost. Like I feel at the bottom of the group because I'm so lost sometimes. I guess I need a guidebook or manual about all the basics and where I fit in lol

I hear ya! I have been here since September and I still don't know what triphasic, IC or crosshairs on a chart mean. But the girls are so nice here, if you ask someone will answer. I just try to get the general gist of the whole TTC process and all the details I guess will become clear in time. By the way, the cycle buddies thing is what time in your monthly cycle you are in. I guess once you have your first period after m/c, you join the group where most of the girls in it are on the same CD (cycle day) as you. I am on CD 5, so most of the girls in my group have their periods right now and are gearing up to O. I use Fertility Friend website a little which has helped explain a lot of the lingo on here. Hope that helps, we are all in this together!

Oh please don't feel bad! I have been on this board since April and still don't know all of the lingo Feel free to join our cycle group. They started out a few months ago with who was where in their cycles, but since some women have longer and some have shorter cycles, we just kind of meshed in all together

So I guess my next question would be since AF is due in like 3 days or so should I wait until it starts to jump into a cycle group to be less confused lol?

Cycle groups are nothing more than a place to obsess with ladies around the same time frame as you.... Our group Cycle 2... soon to be Cycle 3.... since Our ladies are testing... of AF just showed... or waiting for AF to show.....

As for the lingo... I will repost the link for "LINGO".... Fertility Friend also has a FAQ section that can answer all your Questions about crosshairs, and charting....

Please Check the main board.... For new members...
