No you dont sound lame. TTC women need friends and support. :) Ive been ttc for 6-7 months(since I got married last july) I use opks, softcups, clearblue fertility monitor, and folic acid. Im cd9 today. I went off bc when I got married. TTC #1 for me. You can add me or read some posts on info i found out from doctors about ttc. Im just a fun person who likes to help others and just chat. Baby Dust

@edwina- That is awesome that you are cycle day 9, I am cycle day 11. I think I am going to try soft cups this cycle too. I take a prenatal multivitamin that has folic acid in it. I will start testing for my ovulation on Saturday, as the past three months, I have gotten a positive on the Monday or Tuesday of that cycles. I am really regular with my cycles all being 28-29 days long.

What BC were you on before you started trying? I have been off for 9 months now and I am wondering if it has something to do with being on BC since I was 16? Your previous months of ttc you didnt use an OPK?

Thanks so much for responding and adding me! This site is really helping me because it is nice to hear stories from other women who are at the same stage of their lives!!

Look forward to being cycle buddies this month and good luck!!!! This will be our month!!!!

Thatâ??s good that you take prenatal vits. My cycles are around 28-32cd so we are close on the O day. Lol. The bc I was on was joslean, which was 3 months then a period. Bc can cause some infertility issues. Most people donâ??t believe that but if you have been on bc for years then there a chance. I may have a infertility issue with implanton I had at 16-18. I had it removed when I found out and went to bc from 18-20. I used opks on the first two months of ttc and gave up; the price was to much for me then. I went to other things like apps, cervix, temp, and cm; till this month when I switched to monitor, opk and soft cups. I believe that all women should try a year before seeing a specialist. Theres a lot of different methods and the common mistake is getting the wrong O day. Like me. But if someone has to see a specialist it should be the man first since it is faster and cheaper to get done vs the women with a lot of visits and more $ to do that.
