Another Intro

Hello!  A small introduction here.  My husband and I are both 26 and we got married a little over a year ago.  We have 2 sweet beagles and I would love to adopt more, but DH would kill me.  I work for a law firm and DH works for a non-profit organization that helps attorneys.   We met in marching band and are total band geeks.  I also love running...and wine.  Is wine a hobby?  Haha.  We started TTC a month ago.  I've learned a lot by lurking on this board for the past few months and hope to gain some more knowledge from all you wonderful ladies.  I tested this morning (3 days before my missed period) and got my first BFN.  I was more disappointed than I thought I would be, but I'll test again in a few days if I don't see AF.  Obviously we would be incredibly lucky for it to happen right away, and I really wasn't expecting it to be positive.  DH is amazing and surprised me at work with my favorite lunch because he could tell I was disappointed.  And I cried over a Subway sandwich...pathetic!  Dang hormones.  Looking forward to talking to you all.

Re: Another Intro

  • Welcome! Are you temping?
  • Welcome and GL! Sorry about your first BFN. Hopefully there will be very few (if any) more!

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    If you aren't temping, then how are you see that you are really due for AF in 3 days?
    I hope you just tested too early, but there's no true way to know when AF is due unless you temp. :-)
  • Welcome! If lots of ST doesn't bring you a BFP soon, consider starting to chart your BBT. It's the best way to know when you actually O'd, so you'll know when AF might actually be late (or if your body is just being wacky that month and ran early/ran late with O). 

    GL!

    Just making an estimated guess based on my cycle lengths, but you're right - I don't know for sure!
