Newbie TTC

I've been lurking in these boards awhile now but never posted.

My husband and I have been together 11 years and married for 5.5 years. I've been ready for kids for awhile and he recently told me he is ready to start trying... Yay!!

We started trying this month.. and I don't know a lot in terms of when I ovulate and all that... I just know I tend to average about 24 day cycles... With AF being due 12/20.

I KNOW in my head that it could take awhile to get pregnant! I think we have just been so careful before this and now that we are actually trying it's hard not to get your hopes up... Even the first month of trying!!

I was really trying to hold out taking a test until the day AF is supposed to arrive or even the next day. I caved though and tested this morning with my FMU and got a BFN.

I know though that A) it's my first month TTC so I wasn't even expecting to get a BFP this month and B) games not over until AF shows her face... And that's not even due for a few days.

I wasn't expecting to be so disappointed this morning. But man.. I can tell this is going to be an emotional journey!
