Newbielicious...

Good afternoon all! I have been lurking for some time, and thought it be about time I say a proper hello and introduce myself! Still working on my pic and signature stuff, but I'll figure that out soon!

So hubby and I have been married for almost 4 years, and are trying for number one. Ive been off BCP since end of August, and TTC since last month, so on cycle 2 now. Went through an exciting (read mind-fluffing) bunch of phantom symptoms last month, but got neg after neg, followed by AF, the beeetch.

 I'm using FF although I am not temping since I struggle with sleeping and I always wake through the night to pee, so I am never sure if I even get 3 solid hours of sleep! I am monitoring my CM and have been taking pre-natals since I gave up the BCP. I am down to 1/2 cup coffee a day, no alcohol past what I anticipate is ovulation, lots of fruit, veg etc.

 Random facts about me: I ran my first marathon last March. It was s-l-o-w but I got my medal!! I also love chocolate, nature and steak.

 Good luck to everyone else on the board and thanks for the information I have gained from you all so far!

Welcome and good luck!  You may want to try OPK's if you aren't going to temp.  Just a thought Wink  Congrats on your marathon!  I am always so jealous of people who can/like to run.  Good for you!

Welcome and congrats on your marathon!  As PPs suggested, adding OPKs would be a great addition to check CM if you will not be temping.  Good luck!

I came off BCP in August as well, and in October had a whole raft of mind-messing phantom symptoms, I think coming off BC can be a real biatch that way! 

I'm a horrible sleeper too but still temp, my day-to-day temps are pretty spiky but I still saw a pretty clear temp spike and sustained higher temps after O last cycle, my first one charting.  I had a doctor's appointment last week and showed him my chart, and he was fairly impressed with how clear my temp shift showed.  I often end up temping an hour or more earlier than my 'normal' time because that's just when I wake up and can't get back to sleep, or temp later because I've been up until an hour before my temp time then sleep through it til later, but it still seems to work for me.  So, I think you should consider at least giving it a try, chances are you'll get something out of it.

Welcome and best of luck! And congrats on getting through that marathon. :)

Welcome!  Congrats on the marathon - it was always on my bucket list but with my knees and ankles, it's never going to happen.  I'm lucky to be able to jog a mile.

I second other posters on using OPKs if you're not going to temp.  Granted, they only indicate that you're having a surge and possibly about to ovulate (and they're no guarantee of ovulation) but they're better than just CM alone.  Head's up - some women get fertile CM throughout their cycle.  Just wanted to warn you.

Finally - I noticed you mentioned you give up alcohol after ovulation.  I just wanted to say that a lot of us here are 'drink till it's pink', because the mechanism that transports nutrients and teratogens to the fetus isn't established until around the 5th week (and at that point you'd have a 95%+ chance of having a BFP).  If you'd like to give it up, that's totally find and to each his own, but I just wanted you to know that you don't exactly have to give it up.  Most of us don't.  Smile
