CD1 9/3, next AF 9/29 - September Cycle Buddies

AF arrived right on time this morning, cramps and all.

Welcome to September, all of my buddies from our previous thread! We are in this together and I am optimistic about this next cycle for all of us. Anyone thinking of trying anything new this time around? I'll be drinking red raspberry leaf tea & making a MUCH more concerted effort to exercise 3x/week & drop a bit of weight. I am overweight (250) but don't have PCOS & ovulate regularly. Not sure if weight plays a part in TTC aside from those factors, but I do want to get down to a healthier weight regardless.

For anyone new to this group, my name is Amanda, I'm 28, and I teach 2nd grade in Washington state. This is our 3rd cycle TTC #1. I have 25-26 day cycles & tend to know exactly when I ovulate thanks to mittelschmertz pain on the side the egg is released from. I use OPKs to confirm ovulation & also stay aware of my CM.

Let's go into this next cycle strong, ladies! So excited to have you all as cycle buddies - it seriously helps me handle my feelings about TTC so much better. You all are awesome! 😊
