Intro

Hi everyone. Got room for a newbie? (I promise I lurked before posting). Quick background: 32 years old, married for 1 year, just started TTC in May 2014 after coming off the Nuvaring. I attempted OPKs this past month but don't think I ever got a true match as dark as the control. I will start tempting next cycle and using FF in addition to the OPKs.  I am an attorney, runner, and on Episode 10 of Season 2 of Orange is the New Black. (first episode depressed me, but I'm liking it now). No furbabies as of yet.  After lurking for the last few months, I think you are all amazing and wish you the best of luck in your TTC journey. I hope I didn't overshare in my first post.

Re: Intro

  • I'd say you did great for an intro post. FWIW, cheapie OPKS pee sticks are the devil. I strained many an eye trying to gauge whether it was + or -. Good luck. Hopefully you are KTFU soon!

  • Welcome! Hope your TTC journey is short and sweet!

    BTW, I agree about episode one! I was seriously worried that we weren't going to see any of the season one characters again, which didn't help. :)

    And I tried to reply just now to Beelu's post, but apparently messed that up already. I will work on that. And my siggy, I know I need to get on that.

    My real reply to all:

    @BeeLu: see above

    FutureMrsWright2012: I know! I had the same worry. Did you read the book? It's the real Piper's true story. The show is completely different from it now, but I still thought it was an interesting read.

    TheDeaton's: I'm so relieved you said this and I am not alone in my lack of ability to interpret a pee stick.

    All: Thank you so much for your welcome! You are all so lovely. I can't tell you how nervous I was to post.

  • Welcome!

  • Welcome! I just finished OITNB and it was a great finale! I liked learning inmates stories during the season. 

    FWIW I never had a problem with cheapie OPKs not giving me a positive, but I did have a problem with it giving me false positives. Those things can be tricky sometimes. I hope you can get them to work for you though!

    @Emeraldeyed315 If you get Netflix, and I hope you do, you MUST also watch House of Cards. Prepare to binge.
