When can or should I begin charting on Fertility Friend? I have never charted there, although I know how, but with everything going on with my body, I don't know when would be an appropriate time to start. Any insight or advice would be helpful. Also, I don't really know what I should or should not be doing physically at this point either, how I should be eating, etc. Mentally and emotionally I am pretty messed up right now, but physically other than a few cramps I feel fine. Thanks Ladies.
*hugs and love*
Angela

you know, honestly, and this is only MY opinion...i would give yourself some time before worrying about that yet. Grief takes alot out of you...and if you allow yourself time to deal with that first...it will be easier in the long run to move forward. Now this is just MY opinion...others may have other advice for you and you have to do whats right for you...but i'm just being honest...
but you can take care of yourself physically as well as emotionally, eating right, vitimins, giving your body time to regulate itself again cuz the hormones are going to take awhile to settle...and then, when youre sort of back on home base...then maybe start charting. At least then you have a head start...and when treatments or whatever begin...your physically at your best...emotionally might be a different story most everything in my siggy i did after i lost my girls, and about 10 months later i started actively ttc-ing again...others cysters started right away...the time line is up to you. Good luck whatever you decide...

Thankyou Kim,
I do definitely appreciate the honesty of your thoughts and opinions. I certainly don't want to TTC right away. We're both scared of doing that right now. Instead we are going to focus on me getting in shape, finding better forms of treatment and informing ourselves on what we can do, and what we can expect later on down the road. At this point I am simply concentrating on getting by day to day and not flipping everytime my sweetie says something that I percieve to be "off". I have found this board to be a great source of comfort along with occupying my mind by researching this as well. *sighs*
My hormones are totally wacked right now I think. I can be fine one moment, dealing with everything very well. Making plans for the future, and then an hour later I can be in tears. Still not sure whether it's grief, hormonal fluctuations, or both. My sweetie had to get out of the house today. He's running low on patience with me because I'm emotional. He's been with me 24/7 for the last week. Never left my side. I think he just needs time to himself to grieve without me seeing, or to just regroup mentally and emotionally without me around. So now I have time to just "be". I think I'm going to spend it gardening a little bit.

Fairy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Where are you in Maryland? I'm in Chevy Chase.
I'm not TTC, but I chart on FF. That way I know if my body's at least acting right. I ovulated the second, third, and fourth months after Rivi died, but nothing since. I do NOT recommend doing this if you'll freak out over bad ovulation patterns, but it gives me some sense of control. At least I'll know there's a problem in advance.
I started charting in the middle of a cycle, so it wasn't much use, but it got me into the habit.

We definitely should! I think it would be wonderful to all get together and hang out for a day. Just relax a little bit, talk, eat chocolate (hey we all have to be bad -sometime- right? :p ) and enjoy time together. Sounds good to me!

Wheeee! This could be fun! I am new to this area, having only lived here for a little over eight months at this point. I haven't really gotten to know my neighbors very well and find it difficult to develop friendships with people I have literally nothing in common with. I am truly looking forward to this. Maybe start a little local support group as well! Ooops, getting way ahead of things now lol. I have a habit of doing that. Looking forward to getting to know y;all better!
April - You missed it! A few weeks ago the cherry trees, pear trees were in full bloom! It was gorgeous. And now it's the dogwoods. I love this are because it's just plain out pretty. You should come back for a visit one of these days!

You know, I've never seen the cherry blossoms. I've always wanted to see them in bloom. Maybe, next year I'll have a new baby to stroll around DC and we can see the cherry blossoms for the first time together. Sorry, off in a daydream again.
I ALWAYS get lost in DC...lol I never visit without someone who knows their way around.
Maybe we could meet in Silver Spring, Burtonsville, or Columbia somewhere. I'll meet anywhere RT.29 will take me.

Fairy and Viv,
There is a thread on the diet and exercise board called Virginia and Maryland PCOS get together. Someone else is trying to get a group of us from the region together. It might be interesting to meet other ladies from the board. Whaddya think?
