Welcome to the board, MrsKrypted!

Sending you baby dust and good wishes.

So many of our friends online here have moved from TTC to holding a sweet baby in their arms.

Have you tried using OPK's, or temping to know for sure when you ovulate?

[MiaCamille]

is this the first time that you're ttc? for my first it took 10 months it takes lots and lots of patience, i agree with trying to temp and the OPK's good luck and welcome to Families!

You can try temping and Insead Cups. The cups have seemed to help several ladies on here.
Remember not to get over stressed *either of you* with the whole situation. My last 2 pg came about when we were taking a short break from trying. More or less not trying, but not protecting...
Good luck and tons of baby dust

Remember to relax! When you stress your self out... it doesn't help. 6 months is not a long time to be trying. Take a little vacation. We weren't actively trying... we were more on the note of... letting nature take its course.

I suggest temping. But 6 months isn't long at all. Sometimes it can take up to a year.
I know someone who tried for 3 years before she finally got pg.....she didn't temp and had no idea when she was ovulating cuz her af was really irregular. She started temping and within 2 or 3 months was pg!
I got pg 2nd month with my first---cuz we were temping and I knew when to try. And with this pg it was the 2nd time I ovulated that we got pg again. Once again because we were temping I knew when to try......
I wish you all the best! Good luck and have fun!!!

My husband and I tried (well we didn't use any protection and I really had sex alot) for almost 3 years before I got pregnant. The advice that worked for me is as follows:
1. If you smoke cigarettes, STOP!! I quit in June and by sept I was preggo.
2. Start taking prenatal vitamins. I took the cheap 5 dollar ones from walmart. It prepares your body for pregnancy.
3. I know (i promise I really know) what your going through. But i promise you that when you do get pregnant, it will be soooo special. Good Luck and God Bless
P.S. I know that sometimes age is a factor with getting pregnant, but I was 22 when I got pregnant (thats old in my family) and still had issues.

I want to thank everyone so much for your kind words and advice!! Thank you and God bless.

What is the best way to take your temp for temping? I had a friend of mine to tell me to take my temp under my arm is that really a better way?
