Hi ladies, wanted to introduce myself and am hoping that there is room for another newbie here!
My husband and I are trying for #2 and nearing the end of cycle 5. I started using OPKs last cycle and was surprised to find how late my Lh surge is being detected (day 17 in a 28 day cycle), so I've been thinking of jumping into the temping world to help get a closer read on my cycle and this has seemed very intimidating to me. But as I was looking though websites I stumbled across this community and the wealth of information that has been saved here!
Look forward to getting to know you all a bit more!
Welcome! Look into the Fertility Friend app. That's what most people use to track temps here. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy and you learn so much about yourself!

Hello and welcome! I'd definitely encourage you to start temping. You'll learn so much about your body! Also, as others have suggested, definitely download the Fertility Friend app.

Welcome! I'm glad you found us. Temping is invaluable. I have a thirty day cycle usually but ovulate around CD 20. Temping saved me a lot of wasted cycles! I also recommend fertility friend. There are a lot of ovulation apps out there that will try to fit you into a cookie cutter ovulation calender. Fertility friend is the only one you can trust to pinpoint an accurate O based off your temps! Welcome again!
Thank you for all the warm welcomes! I really appreciate all the support and insight. I was up way too late last night reading all the newbie blogs, but I am definitely feeling more prepared today and exicted to start!
