hi... i'm new here, been waiting for June to TTC but DH told me we can try starting this and next cycle... i hope i'm ok to post here.

i'm brianna 24, DH anthony 25 and we are going to start TTC our 1st this month. i can't believe i can say that. i have 2 months and then we will stop TTC for april & may because i don't want a January or February baby and then pick up end of June and beyond TTC.

so i'm going to be lurking here and posting my pee sticks, LOL. i guess we better start BD, and I better learn how to use my OPK's!

honestly no clue about timing BD... now that he said we are go to TTC i'm scared out of my mind!

I'm Kara, one of the hosts here. As far as timing, it's probably the biggest thing. Have you thought about charting? (taking your BBT every morning) It's the best way to let you know if you are Oing or not. Also, OPKs are pretty easy. Ask away with the questions!!! We are all here to help!

[Belita]

I agree about charting. I ovulate really early and would have missed our window completely if I didn't chart and use OPKs! You can post pics on here of your OPKs and a link to your chart in your siggie and we can all help you out. I hope your stay here is short and sweet!

thanks ladies! actually i am charting, this is my 4th cycle charting. i have a link to my TCOYF chart in my siggy.

the last 2 cycles i ovulated around CD18 with a 9/10 day LP. so im taking B6 to hopefully lengthen LP. so far my plan is to BD every other or every 2 days until i O.

i just got my 50 pack of wondofo OPK's, it will be my first time using them. eeeeek!!!!

i honestly dont think I ill get PG this or next cycle, but I am excited to try!

[Belita]

Sorry, it was hidden and I didn't see it! I was going to suggest B6 until I saw you were taking it in your chart. Sounds like you're on top of things and have a great plan!

Hello & Welcome. I'm Dawn and I suggest starting with charting and opks as well. You will find out when you O and make sure you are Oing. If you have any questions feel free to ask! We have a wonderful group of ladies here. Good luck and I hope your stay is short and sweet.

Make sure you are taking the Vitamin B6 with a Vitamin B12 because B6 can alone can cause miscarriage. Good luck with lengthening your LP. I am on B6 and it seems to be working for me this cycle .

Really, I had not read that by itself it can cause m/c, must go read more. LOL so much to learn about TTC, well for those who are curious like me. I am not taking a ton of B6 because I read it can actually hurt you if you take too much, 50mg and then there is 25mg in my prenatal. There is B-12 in my prenatal. I have never taken vitamins before so I am curious if my body is just peeing it all out because it doesn't know what to do with it. LOL

[Belita]

I'd never heard that about just B6. I'm petrified now as I've been taking that. Where did you hear that? I'm taking 50mg B6 and I do take a prenatal.

[Jen@FirsAve]

hi,
im fairly new here too! hope u get your bfp soon x

[Belita]

I just ran out to CVS and bought some balanced B-50 that has 50mg of B6 and 50mg of B12. I hope that works! The B-complex didn't have much B6 in it to speak of.

[bellabri287]

I'm taking P-5-P, the active form of B6, supposedly it's how your body best absorbs it. There are so many vitamin choices it's crazy!
