Taking Charge of Your Fertility

ttc for one month

I'm reminded of the song lyrics "first cut is the deepest."  I know it's only been one month, but for some reason I feel blue!  I just started my period today and couldn't help but feel that twinge of heart ache.  The funny thing is, I knew it didn't happen, my temp has been dropping the last few days and I knew I would start today.  It still doesn't make it any easier!

I'm new to the charting world.  A wonderful friend loaned me her TCOYF book when she found out that my husband and I had started ttc.  Being new, I have many questions.  What does AF mean?  I've tried so hard to figure it out.  I've been on Nuvaring for a little more than a year.  Is there anyone else out there that has used Nuvaring and is now ttc?  What are you struggles?  How long did it take to ovulate again?  Any success stories for Nuvaring users?

I know for sure my DH is fertile; he has a son from his previous marriage.  I've always wondered if I am.  I don't have any reason to doubt that I am, just that once in a while fleeting thought that enters my mind.

I know exactly how you feel- I've also only been trying for one month, and I know I should be patient (especially because I'm 35!) but I couldn't help but feel down after seeing a negative pregnancy test on Monday.

I think you should feel encouraged, though, that you got your period after coming off NuvaRing, because it seems that means your body is getting back to normal and working properly. My period has not come, and I've been off for one cycle. It's really confusing because obviously on the NR I had exactly a 28-day cycle, but I remember from before my NR/Pill days, my natural cycle was more like 32 or 34 days. So I feel like I'm in limbo. I also just got the TCOYF book from the library and am excited to start charting, but I want to wait until I get my period, so am a bit frustrated.

The NR website says that regular ovulation should restore itself within about a month after stopping it, but I have been looking at blogs on BabyCenter.com, thebump.com, etc. and it seems that people widely vary after coming off. So I suppose we both should try to be patient with ourselves :) Best of luck to you!

woops- meant to say- I think "AF" means "Aunt Flo", aka, your period.

Of course...aunt flo! :)  That makes perfect sense now!

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!  I have also been scouring the internet for post-NR cycles and am finding the same thing.

I started charting mid-cycle and I found it to be a good practice so that now I know what I'm doing.  You might consider just starting and getting into the rhythm of it.  It is quite a soothing process and it might encourage your body (subconsciously) to get in the groove!

Best wishes to you too!

THis is my first month charting and we will be TTC in November. I got off of NuvaRing after 3 years in Aug 09 and my cycle was not really regular until February or March. However, it has been like clockwork since then. Good Luck!
