Any tips for a newbie TTC?

Well, for those of you that saw my previous post, I was not pregnant

But it's all ok. We are still trying! I'm hoping you all have some advice to give someone new to this? This will be me and my bf's first child, so of course first attempt.
I stopped my bc about a month ago. My period came just a few days early this month, started on the 24th. I've counted days and figured my most fertile days should be around December 6-10.
I've been doing a lot of reading and planning, but I'm hoping you all will be able to give me some tips that may have helped you or that you've heard actually worked. We would love to have a baby soon

Thanks in advance!

Have fun?
Counting days, buying tests, making sure you do this position and follow up things after makes sex sessions seem like a schedule which can be tiring, and stressful which is the last thing you want when TTC.
Also, do the deed all month long. You may be the most fertile on those days but you don't want to miss an opportunity if you are off a day.

Congrats on your future baby!
My advise is to... Have fun, be relaxed. If your off BC and now officially wanting a baby, then have fun with each other and you will one day be delighted to see that positive test!
My husband and I started in July of 2010 we had sex with the idea and Passion of baby making and unfortunatlly months went by with no pregnancy and I was stressed and sad and thought it wouldn't happen. Then we decided that it will happen when it happens. Lord and behold July of 2011 I got that positive test and couldn't have been more pleased!
When people ask I say he was no accident but definitely a surprise!
Good luck, have fun! Don't stress, and be happy.
That's what makes a baby!

Currently 23 weeks

Thanks for the advice! I'll try to relax. I've just always been a major planner, and tend to try to learn everything I can.
We already have sex several times a week, so I guess there's not really anyway we can miss my fertile time.

I'm sure it will not be a problem when I tell my bf that we just need to have fun

And congrats, Darling! You're fairly close to the same as my sister(She's at 20wks with her 3rd)! Good vibes to you for a healthy and easy pregnancy, and a very healthy, happy baby!
