Doing it wrong?

Since last month when we decided we were 100% ready to start TTC(still can't believe I can finally say that!!) I have been reading anything and everything I can find about how to get pregnant, because we must be doing it wrong after 6 years of doing nothing to prevent and not getting pregnant! Right? Well all I have to say is all that information is a little overwhelming!! Who knew it could be so hard to get pregnant?? Obviously I can't do everything they say to up my chances of getting my BFP, and I'm not even going to try some of the crazy things!! lol but we are doing some things to help.

First is my weight. I am no were near obese but I can definitely lose a good amount of weight! I was a size 2 when I met Derek, and I am no where near that now! And don't expect to get back there, it wasn't exactly a result of healthy eating/exercise(or eating much at all) We have already started eating a lot better this year than we have in the past. We cut out processed food and I cook as much as I can from scratch, and thanks to my new favorite "store" the farmers market our fridge is always full of yummy fresh fruit and veggies :) We have also started walking every night, since my day is pretty much just sitting at a desk all day staring at a computer! I need to get my body in much better shape to be able to carry a healthy baby for 9 months!! My goal? 20 lbs in 2 months... Realistic or crazy?? We will see!!

Next thing is ovulation predictors, to make sure I do ovulate and to help with the "trying" for a boy. Starting on CD11(today is CD7) of this cycle I will begin using them every day. Supposedly I will get a positive 24-36hrs before I ovulate.

I am also using a basal thermometer to temp every morning at 6:30. And signed up at fertilityfriend.com They say your temp goes up right after you ovulate, so between the OPKS and this I should get a pretty good idea of when I will ovulate!! It has actually been pretty interesting temping, I started 2 weeks before AF showed up and my temp stayed above 97, but the day before AF started it dropped down to 96!!! So I knew the witch was coming :) It has stayed under 97 degrees since then so I am assuming once it goes back above 97 I will have ovulated. But I could be wrong since I am new at this :)


Now heres hoping fo that BFP soon!!!
