Intro

Hi Everyone,

 I'm new here and just want to introduce myself. My husband and I have been married for about a year and a half. We've been ttc for about 10 months now. I'm getting a little frustrated. I have the apps on my phone and ipad and chart that way. I think I'm going to start using the one that is suggested in the newbie link, too. 

It's hard when my family constantly asks if I'm pregnant or my dad says he wants a granddaughter for Christmas. I haven't really shared with them that we are trying, though, because they have loose lips and I feel like this is really personal. Anyway, I was happy to find a safe environment where I can share! 

 Emily

Welcome! Fertility Friend is much better than those other apps, but you really need to chart your BBT to use it to its full potential.

Good luck!

thanks! Yeah, after reading some posts I think I should, too. My Dr. said the same thing. I have unusually high LH levels but my Dr. ruled out PCOS so OPK are just a waste of money for me. And, CM is kind of ambiguous. 

Just gotta hang in there!

Welcome and good luck.  Hopefully you'll have luck with charting your BBT and realize that you were just not timing sex right.

Hi there,
I am new as well and I have a similar situation. I don't want to say anything to family and friends yet but pretty much everyone is starting to ask. We've decided to TTC not long ago but I'm starting to get nervous because of my age etc. I will also try the app u mentioned and good luck to you as well!

I have My Days on my phone and Lady Timer on my ipad. They both have different O days so we just do it alot ;) I try to pay attention to my CM and based on that I feel like lady timer is more accurate but everything is different.I really need to go get a BBT. 

Nice to meet you, good luck!

Are those just prediction apps? They're no good if that's the case, just so you know. Fertility Friend has an app too for charting, highly recommend it. It's free. Pick up a BBT, many here use the Mabis from WalMart, your timing might be off.

Welcome and good luck! Fertility friend was a little intimidating to me at first, but it's very easy to get the hang of and use everyday.

My cat can read EKGs, can your human do that?
