i have learned so much on this site. but it is a little overwhelming.

i had no idea the work that went into ttc. expecally all the things that

could hinder ttc. i just read a post below that even simple pain relievers

could be preventing it. ky can cause problems, dh drinking, douching, the

list goes on and on. it use to be so simple, have sex, have baby.

Hey Angela,

I totally agree with you. I've been here not quite 4 months yet, and have learned so much, and at times have even thought, "you should've known this at your age". And , yes, I do feel it can be overwelming. I agree about the discussion with pain killers. I MUST take naproxin for AF, usually about 1-2 days of her due to my cramps being so painful. Now I'm wondering if I need to just gut them out. But, that lady said she was taking stuff DAILY I think due to back problems, so I'm hoping my 1-2 days isn't a big deal. If I don't take something, I CAN NOT function. I hope to hear a little more discussion on that issue. And yes, KY can cause problems too, the only sperm friendly lube I've heard about is "Preseed". You know they say even a couple that has no problems what so ever only has a 20% chance of conceiving each month, my goodness, where does that put the rest of us ???? And , I've got another issue, my age, I'm 36. I'm considered to be a grandma compared to some of the wonderful ladies on here. Makes me wonder if I'm way out of my league. I hope and pray not. DH and I want a child so badly. I feel like I'm literally running out time.

Well, I hope you have a good day !!! Take in all this wonderful knowledge and just run with it. Maybe we both will get out BFP's real soon. GL to you!!!!

(Look at my cute "Angel" & 2 big temp jumps yesterday and this morning on my chart)

Don't have a clue what's going on, but I know I've never had a cycle like this, and my temp today is the highest ever since I started charting ( chart #1 in May 2003 )
