I've put it on here in several places, but I can't stress it enough, make sure you're ovulating. There's nothing more frustrating than ttc for several months with nothing to show for all the work. You can use the ovulation tests, but read the package carefully, they can work a little differently. The easiest method is still the temp method. Your temp will go up right when you ovulate. Take it every morning, there are also web sites on natural family planning that can explain everything.
Hope this helps, good luck!!

Ok...If I am getting my period monthly does that not mean I am ovulating?? I get my period every month on the 28 days regularly?

I also have been taking my temperature everyday at the exact same time without getting out of bed. I do notice a very small change in temp in mid cycle...I guess it might mean I ovulated.

I am just going to try naturally for the first 4 months, then if nothing works, go on a vacation and come back using an ovulation kit. Those are my sweet plans

i can't wait to start trying!!

Wow ur really becoming focused on this.. Thats great!!!
But yeah if you have a 28 day cycle then ur ovulating at about day 14 (so if you start with day 1 on the first day of your period) so around day 14 is when you should be ovulating. That slight rise in temperature is the indicator that there is a surge of lh (hormone that stimulates the ovaries to release the egg).

On getting ready..
Just eat healthy, do smoke or drink, exercise moderately, and take your vitamins and you should be healthy!!!

Good luck and have fun on this adventure!!!
