| Newbie to trying to find buddies! Hi Everyone! 
I am new to Bnb and trying to get my feet wet.
A little about me... I'm 28 y/o- been married to my husband for 4 1/2 years and we are TTC #1. I have been off BCP since January 09. We did the NTNP method for 9 months with no success.  So in Sept we decided to get a little more serious about it...basically we increased the amount we  ! No luck!  Last cycle, I tried counting days to pinpoint OV and we made sure to BD over those days (judging by my physical symptoms of ov we hit the days right on)...but no luck!
So this is our 3rd cycle TTC. AF hit me this morning!  But, we are over it and moving on to the next month  I am heading out to buy an opk to make sure I really do "know" when I'm ov- other than that we're just gonna keep doing what we do... I want this experience to remain fun and not too much like work....but at the same time we are ready and really want our  ! So, I'm on cd1..usually a 28-30 day cycle 
Well, I hope I can find someone to buddy up with! I think it will be a great experience!   | | | | Status: Offline

I am 23 years old. My DH and I are TTC baby #1.
This cycle was our first time trying. We BD as much as possible around O-time...
I have been feeling really warm, crampy, heavy bbs, fatigued. AF is due tomorrow, and I am hoping she stays far away... I have taken 2 HPT and both have been  ...
I'm also looking for buddies to make this journey a fun and supportive one.
I LOVE your signature. All I want for Christmas is my  , too! | | | | Status: Offline

all the best with the next cycle  | | | | Status: Offline

| Hello ladies! I'm not super new, this is cycle number 5 I am on now, but I am in need of some buddies as mine keep graduating and getting their BFPs (yes I am a lucky charm I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know!).
I am 26, married for 3 years, ttc our 1st. Have tried temping which was great, but am going for a stress-free effort at the mo so giving that a break. Have used OPKs which are good, currently using CBFM (clearblue fertility monitor) which is just a techy OPK lol.
Cycles normally 27-30 days, currently on CD12 so at the babydancing stage!
Lots of babydust  | | | | Status: Offline

I am not currently temping. I have read that you need to do it first thing in the morning- and I am the type who gets up at least twice per night to pee  ...so I don't think it'd be overly accurate for me.  So I did just purchase some opk and I'm going to try it out this month! 
Glad to have you on as a buddy! We need all the support we can get!  | | | | Status: Offline

Lots of babydust  | HI!

I just bought opk for the first time...how did you like them? Did you think they were accurate?
Well have fun with all the   ...its definitely the best time of the month! And I'm glad you are going stress-free... they always say that it happens when you least expect it!

| Hi! I'm 23, I've been married 3 months, but DH and I have been together 3 1/2 years. We're TTC baby #1. This is our 3rd cycle trying and AF arrived two days ago.  Although three days late, second time she's been late since TTC. Grr!!! | | | | Status: Offline
