Yeah I am not really sure what all that dpo and all that means, since I am very new to charting and etc. I actually will be starting tomorrow morning since I forgot to take my temp this morning!! LOL But we will say. I was hoping too on hubby's R & R I would get preggo, but that didn't happen

. But when he gets back we will start to actually try. I just told him I don't want to come more like work, ya know. Well I look forward to chatting with all of you and hopefully we will both get some very good luck!! Thanks for the warm welcome. It will be nice to chat with some others who are going through what I am and also military at that. We are active duty army and yeah, patience, what is that! LOL My husband is the one that is awesome with patience, we always joke of how impatient I can be. Very impatient for him to come home thats for sure!

ya im super impatient also it drove me nuts wating for him to come back from the deployment. DPO stands for days post ovulation. CD stands for cycle day are you using fertility friend its kinda fun to use and it keeps track of everything for you just enter the info and it does the caculating and what ever. the simple version is free or you can pay for the fancy version with all the bells and wistels lol. i just use the simple version it will give you a free trial of the fancy one when you sign up. makeshure you take your temp at the same time or as close as you can get every morning and before you get up put it buy your bed so you dont have to get up. a basel body thermoter is more accurate than a regular digital but i used a regular thermoter for my first cycle. i think i paid 6 bucks for my basel body thermoter at walmart and its digital so its super easy to read. lets see an i think of any other useful info to tell you that you might not know. start taking prenatal vitimans and folic acid now its important to have the right neutrance before you get prego. of course you probably already know that one lol. some people dont know about the folic acid though. any way ill go before i ramble your ear off lol. good luck tones of baby dust comming your way i hope you get prego fast.

Welcome ladies! It looks like you have your charting down. Your going to be able to tell so much just by taking your temp.
We are Airforce Stationed at Scott AFB in Illinois. DH just reenlisted the other day, So Uncle Sam owns us for another 6 years. We have been stationed here for 3 years and are sure to be getting orders since he reenlisted. Other then that we get BOP in May.
I'm so very looking forward to moving. Its time for a fresh start. We have been TTC the whole time we have been here. We need some fresh "water" to drink.
Good luck!
