Fighting the urge!
I think I'm out this month (although the witch isn't here yet) and am already looking ahead to next month, which will be month four. I have resisted the urge up until now but I have an overwhelming urge to start with smiley face sticks, preseed etc next month! My nubby thinks it's all a waste of money but at the mo I just feel that I am wasting time more than anything else. So I guess my question is when did everyone start with all or any if these things? Also really fighting the urgeto start using them and just 'forget' to tell DH for now. I don't feel comfortable lying about it but I don't see any real harm and I don't think he realises the pressure I feel. This would be my first and I'm just coming up to 32, just really want to give this our best shot x x

Thankfully my hubs is in favour, he just says that he wants a bubba as much as I do and will do anything, bless him!
Not sure how I would be able to keep charting temps and using the preseed from him if I was to keep it a secret??
Maybe your hubs thinks after only a few months of trying it is early to get into all that?? When we first started trying I was adament I didn't want to get into all that and put that added pressure on us but after an early mc I will try anything I guess to get that sticky bean.
Good luck girls, babydust to us all xxx
I did swear to start with that I wouldn't use OPKs until I'd been trying for 6 months, but then I just thought for goodness sake, the science is there and it's cheap and available - why should I feel guilty about using it when a) it will help me get to know my own body better and b) I really want a baby?
We use science and technology nowadays in so many aspects of our life that I don't see why TTC should be something we *have* to do 'blind', so to speak, and if it helps us to be more in tune with how our bodies work so much the better.
Obviously some people don't like the idea of OPKs and of course I would never say that people *should* use them... just that if you want to, don't feel bad / guilty about it in any way! xx
I am thinking of starting to ttc again soon (hence the lurking around!) and have already started with the CBFM just in preparation! I am mad!!!
