Intro

Hi, Ladies!  Mind if I join you?  I had a chemical pregnancy back in June when DH and I weren't necessarily actively TTC, but weren't trying to prevent it either. We took some time after the CP because it was kind of traumatic to me.  This is my first cycle actively TTC.  This month, I used an online ovulation calculator to determine my fertile days.  I didn't realize until it was too late that this is not a very reliable way to pinpoint ovulation.  

I took a First Response test first thing this morning as I have been having some weird symptoms (cramping, frequent urination, bloating, etc).  I know it's early (AF is scheduled to arrive on Friday), but my hopes got the better of me.  Big fat BFN.  By the end of the day, I was feeling like crap so I knew something else was going on.  I went to the doctor and found out I have a bladder infection.  That explains the symptoms.  I have a feeling this isn't my month, but I have started charting my BBT to increase my chances next month.  I look forward to getting to know you all as we share our TTC journeys!

Hello! Sorry about your chemical pregnancy. :(  hope your stay here is short :-)  read the newbie link too, and what if discovered, most ovulation predictors are waaaay off and just generalize you, saying CD 14 is best for sex. Not the case. Which I'm sure since your using ff you'll get it. :-). Good luck my dear!!! What CD are you?

 

Oh maybe your not using fertility friend?

Welcome! I am sorry for your loss.

Definitely check out FF and the newbie link for great information on charting your cycle and pinpointing ovulation.

Bummer about the bladder infection - I hope you feel better soon.

Good luck!

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words!  Darra, I am on CD 26 of 30.  I started reading the newbie info and it seems very helpful.  Thanks for the suggestion!  I just started using a tracker app on my iphone called My Cycles (MC) plus a couple days ago.

So your not completely out this cycle yet. :-). I got bfn up until the day of my missed period, then on that day I got a positive :-)  took a test march 13th negative, then march 17 positive!!! I go to the tww thread (two week wait) as well as waiting to ovulate. Its nice to be able to get it all out there. I enjoy it. Plus you can see where every one is at on their CD and what they are trying. And what month, ect.
