Well, I too am new to this website and am also ttc. My husband and I have been trying since last June, so we will be coming up on the 1 year mark soon. I have not been using the ovulation predictor kits regularly, or charting or any of that. I'm afraid I will drive myself crazy if I do it month after month and nothing happens. I have tried using the predictor kit and the one time I tried I did not get pregnant. While it was only one time, it made the process so emotional for me that for months afterwards I couldn't stand to see a baby on TV or in person. Maybe I will start doing those things again, so if I need to, I can show it to my doctor to let her see what has been going on. I just get sad enough when I start my period every month.

A friend I talked to says that when she ovulates, she feels more "in the mood." I feel more testy and nasty at that time, and I would not want to do anything with me, so I can imagine how my husband feels! So if I feel like a horrible person during the time I should be trying, I am missing it because I am not in the mood, and there's not much to do to try to get me in the mood. Then, that magical little window disappears, and several weeks later, BOOM, here comes Aunt Flow. It is soooo frustrating!!
Any tips??
