Hi Everyone, Newbie Here! Posted: 03-24-07 17:54pm
Hi everyone. My name is Rebecca, me and
my husband have been trying to get
pregnant since 2005. I have completely
avoided any forums, ovulation predictors,
taking temps or appointments with
"specialists" because I didn't want to
accept the fact that we were having
problems conceiving. I have finally
decided it's time. I need people to talk
to, and a plan of action. I have no idea
where to start. I have read all of your
posts, and I don't even know what some of
the abbreviations are for the pregnancy
terms! If anyone has any advice on where
to start I would be so thankful. You all
seem like such a nice, close group of
people. Thanks in advance and congrats to
the new mommies to be!
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, welcome to the forum! I am
sure you'll love it here, all of the
ladies are very supportive and
knowledgeable.
There is a sticky at the top of the page
that has a listing of all of the
abbreviations. (I still refer to it from
time to time. There are quite allot )
Are your periods on a regular cycle? That
is the easiest place to start!

Thanks for the response! It really is so
nice to have people in the same boat. I
am sad I didn't do this sooner.
Yes, my periods are very regular. My
cycle is 32 days, and period lasts for 5-6
days.
I was told as a teenager that I had small
cysts on my ovaries, but I haven't heard
anything about that since then at my
yearly appts.
Does taking your temp work? I am thinking
it is a timing problem for us. With us
both working so much, maybe we are missing
the fertile days?
Thanks again

Welcome to ehealth. YOu will like it
here, everyone is really nice and very
helpful. I have been kinda officially
trying to conceive for about 7 months now,
but I have been off of birth control for
almost 7 years and nothing yet. We have
not been to the doctor yet other than my
gyno, but we will probably be going in the
next few months.
Hope you get the answers you're looking
for. Stick around, you will really like
all the girls here.

Hi Rebecca Posted: 03-24-07 21:39pm
Welcome to the forum. I like to suggest
for you to use the following site.
Temping helps you tell after the fact that
you ovulated. To time correctly, you
should also try to predict ovulation and
your fertile days. There are lots of ways
to predict ovulation. Including tracking
cd, taking opk tests, and tracking the
position of your cervix.
What advice has your ob/gyn given?
Best of luck!
