Trying to Conceive

Hey,

I am 27 and recently got married to my husband.  We have been together for 7 years before marraige and moved in together two years ago.  Now we are ready to have a baby.  I went off the pill september, after my period.  I have been getting normal flow each month but they have been different cycle lengths each time.  We are having sex every other day to every third day throughout the month.  Not sure what to do.  I tried those digital ovulation tests and they kept coming up error, so I got frustrated with those.  I am still trying and if anyone has any input as to what I should or should no do, then please feel free to let me know.  I am taking a prenatal vitamin every day incase it does happen. 

 Thankx

Suggest you read the newbie link and, if you aren't already, start charting your temps to make sure you're ovulating. I don't use OPKs so I can't help with those. But be advised, it takes time sometimes, even if everything is just fine.

Edit: And sometimes it takes your body time to regulate after coming off BC. Give it time and just keep trying.

Hello, and welcome! I would check out the newbie link and consider charting. www.fertilityfriend.com is a great resource and they have a free online course about charting.

Welcome.  I've found temping/charting using Fertility Friend to be a big help.  That way I know when I'm ovulating, when to test, and when to expect my period.  Myself and a lot of ladies here use Wondfo OPKs.  They're cheap, easy to use, and available on Amazon.  Good luck!

This. I use a Mabis BBT (basal body thermometer) from WalMart and it works very well.

ETA: Welcome and good luck!

Welcome to the board! I hope your stay is short and sweet!

Just some things that I found helpful when I started this journey:

Read the newbie link. You can find it above the "community rules".

Watch "The Great Sperm Race" on youtube. It's about an hour long but packed with great information.

Sign up for fertility friend and do the tutorials. You can click on any chart you see in a siggy and it will take you there.

Read Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. I learned so much about my body and what the heck it was up to. I recommend it to all my friends.

Now take this advice with a grain of salt but it definitely helped me. Big Smile Good luck!

Welcome! I would recommend temping. I have been trying for several months and this is my first month temping and I wish I would have started it earlier. so I had more data to go off of. I use Opks as well and like that because it is a little less stressful than just trying to go at it evey other day.
