Need informed

Hello Everyone! 

H and I decided that we are going to start ttc! I've been reading post and doing research for the best/fastest way to conceive. Unfortunately most of the stuff (charting, temping etc) is jibberish to me. Personally, I've never thought there was so much to trying to conceive! This might sound silly to some but until recently I had no idea about charting and temping until I seen other posts on here. I feel the more prepared I am hopefully we can conceive faster! 

Any advice for uneducated me? :)

Do the tutorials on Fertility Friend.


TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycles #11 & 12 are unmedicated (No temping/testing/charting)

Don't expect it to happen quickly. There is no "fastest way" to get pregnant.

This. A lot of getting pregnant is luck. You can do everything right, have perfect timing etc and its just not your month. I hope you are one of the lucky ones it happens for quickly.

This. Have to keep repeating that to myself. Patience and getting to know the ins and out of your cycle is key.

Signed up for fertility friend! And reading the links you suggested!

I'm realizing it doesnt happen very quickly which is why I would like to get more informed :)  Now just have to get the H to understand it doesnt happen over night.

Thanks girls!

You don't have to do the temping and all that stuff if it's too daunting. People get pregnant every day without it, especially if you're having sex at least every other day. Your chances of conceiving would be as good as anyone else who is TTC with OPKs and temping. However, if your cycle is irregular, or you wanted to know how long your leuteal phase is, temping can give you that information. If there is a problem, by charting you will be able to narrow in on what could be the potential problem. Unless you already have known fertility issues, my advice would be to just have fun and hump like rabbits for the first couple months TTC. If it hasn't happened, then you can start temping to see if you're missing your fertile window or if there's another potential problem.

Good luck! You may want to have him watch the Great Sperm Race videos on YouTube. That may give H a better idea of how stuff works. It's not all pump & bump!
