Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Kira, I have been tracking my cycle for 8 months now. I was never regular before surgery, in fact I went over a year without havign a period after I went off birth control. A few months after surgery I started getting my period again and have had one every month. It averaged out to every 26 days, so I started testing on day 9 after my period like the instructions said, I went through that box and I just tested again today which would be day 17, and still nothing. I have never tried to get pregnant before so this is all new to me. I have no idea if I am fertile or not, but it seems I'm not if I'm not ovulating. Benita Kira wrote: > Hi, Benita.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Kira, How do you chart your body temps? I felt warm about a week ago and thought that it would show that I was ovulating, but it didn't. I guess I better go get that book! Benita Kira wrote: > Hi, Benita.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Benita, Hi there - You probably don't recognize my name , but I am a long time member of this board - however I am 6 months separated from my hubby so therefore no longer trying to conceive. I just wanted to let you know that a GREAT website for more in depth info on ovulation and everything is www.parentsplace.com - they have lots of articles and even host chats with THE Tony Weschler. They have message boards for Trying to Conceive and those ladies are very supportive and knowledgable. When you get pregnant, they have boards by the month of your due date and then they have " playgroup " boards once the baby is born. I have belonged to the Jan. '98 board since I was only 6 weeks pregnant. It is a GREAT site with a LOT of useful info. I bet you will find some answers there! Good luck on TTC. I was on Clomid for 3 months before conceiving my son - the meds made me sick so I decided to take a break on TTC - of course the next month I got pregnant. I hope God blesses you with the same sort of surprise. Take care! -Tara Lynn --- Benita Pautz wrote: > Kira, > > I have been tracking my cycle for 8 months now.
