Brand new member - love all of the calculators/tools!

Hi all,

Brand new to this part of CTP. I have only used the calculators this site offers (which are awesome!) and didn't realize there was a forum.

Since the New Year, DH and I have been TTC for our first baby.

I was on oral BC for 10 years, and came off of that mid to late December 2015. We waited the amount of time my doc said to before we began officially trying. Thankfully, my periods have been very regular down to the day. January 7, February 7, and March 7 averaging 30 day cycles. I guess I have a thing about the number 7.

I'm 26. DH is 27.

Our ages don't scare me at all, but I do want to explain my username briefly (whatwillbeat33).

My mother, aunt, and grandmother all went through menopause between 30 and 35. My mom most recently at 33. I do have an older sister (28) and we don't know where she will fall in that range, then that leaves me.

So, there was definitely a little anxiety surrounding our decision to go ahead and begin trying. Luckily, that has subsided some, and we are officially in our 3rd month of TTC. So, in other words, what will be at 33 (at or about) will be at 33! I have no control over nature.

I am 7DPO today, and I track periods and fertile weeks using an app on my phone. I introduced a BBT and OPKs this time around simply to be sure my apps are working properly. For the most part, they are accurate.

Still haven't been able to 100% pinpoint my ovulation day but my best guess is anywhere between the 21-23 of each month depending on days in the month.

I will be able to take a HPT Sunday/Monday.

Sorry this is long. Hope everyone gets their BFP very, very soon. Look forward to talking with all of you!
