Hey girls!!!

I wanted to introduce myself. I'm officially TTC for the 6th month now. My name is Erin. I'm 23 and a SAHM to Isabella (10 months), and wife to Chris, ( 21 ) .

We've been TTC since February of '06 for our second child. I'm starting to worry, because we concieved Bella the month after I went off BC. I'm not sure how to chart or temp or anything so we've just been having a lot of sex. lol. I have looked on ovulation calendars to see when I *MIGHT* be ovulating, but so far, no luck.

Anyway, I'm in the same boat as you all now!!! So HI!!!

Hi Erin. Welcome to JM.

My name is Bobbi. I have 3 girls from a previous marriage. DH and I are on our 18th month of ttc. We do the charting and opk's. We are off to a fertility doc soon.

Good luck getting your BFP. I hope it happens quickly for you.

Welcome Erin!!! First I would like to say that you have such a beautiful daughter!!!!!!

To chart your temp you have to get up every day at the same time and take your temp before you do ANYTHING drink, move, talk, ect. Fertility Friend is a great way to help you chart!

Here are some ovulation charts that i used when I was TTC

Welcome!!! Sorry that it's been more than 6 months, but here's hoping that the ladies here can help you along!

Are you thinking about charting or OPKs? JM has a great board for fertility charting now (located under the TTC section). I used Fertility Friend, but I know that many women use Ovusoft and the Taking Charge of Your Fertility charts, too. Speaking of which, TCOYF is a great book, too, and you might be able to get it from one of the ladies on here no longer using it. Just an interesting read, good information, and really, SO informative!

OPKs are sort of fun to try. You can pick them up just about anywhere that sells pregnancy tests--any pharmacy, big box stores, supermarkets, etc. If it's your first month to try them, you may want to start using them on the 8th or 10th day of your cycle every day to make sure you don't miss an early ovulation!

Good luck and in the meantime, lots of sex can't hurt.
