Well, I was supposed to start my birth
control pack yesterday and didn't, so I
guess that means we are officially Not
Preventing! : ) So far I haven't had any
spotting (knock on wood)! I am hoping I
will ovulate as normal and we can bd the
week away! haha! I just have this guy
feeling it should happen soon. I know, its
dumb and I am getting my hopes up, but I
can't help it. Anyone have any advice? All
is appreciated! Thank you sooo much!

Yeah! I hope your first month is your
lucky month!
I have never been on BC, so I have no
advice in that department. But, I can tell
you what my dr. and women on the
boardssaid when we started tryng.
1. Start taking folic acid and a
multivitamin.
2. Try temping and set up a
fertilityfriend.com account.
3. Use opks, and you will be able to tell
the first month if you O on your own.
They are alittle pricey, but worth it if
there is a problem, you wont have to go
thru months of heartache.
4. Have fun and bd like newlyweds! I
think sometimes we put too much stress on
ourselves and forget to enjoy the baby
making process. Too much stress can make
some women infertile.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. We have discussed
it and for the first 6 months or so, we
are just going to bd enough to try and
catch ovulation, where ever it may be.
Then if we don't have any luck on our own,
we will start temping and charting. I do
want to "chart" my cm and intercourse, but
i have lost my fertility friend info and
it won't let me sign up another account. I
have been taking prenatal vitamins for
about a week now...is that good enough?
