Hi gals!

My name is Jamie! I don't post here, but I thought I'd start.

I'm new to charting. I'm also new to TTC. DH (Eric - 25) and I have only been trying since April 2008, and we're still stuck in our 2nd cycle. I got my bbt thermometer in the middle of this cycle and had decided I'd wait to start charting until AF came. Then, AF was late - or so I thought! I ended up O'ing on CD 38 of this cycle. Well, at least I think I did. I had EWCM for CD 37 and 38 and a positive OPK on CD 37, so I'm making an educated assumption.

Anyway, my cycles had seemed pretty regular until here lately. Two cycles ago I went 41 days between, then I went 23, and now....well, I'm at 45 days and counting.

I'm really hoping to learn what I can about how my body functions and any insight or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and becoming a charting pro myself.

Thanks girls!!

Hi, Jamie!

What form of birth control were you using prior to TTC? If it was anything hormonal (BCP, Nuvaring, Patch, etc) then I guarantee that is why your cycles seem off now. Experts say it can take six to eighteen months before your hormones level out and your cycles become normal for you.

welcome!

I used Depo Provera for six years, then bcp for a year or so - but it's been over two years since we've used anything other than withdrawal as bc.
