The last time I started a NTNP board I got pregnant that very month, so fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847640 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:48:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2847640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioness21: Aww hang in there! I def don't think irregular cycles is an indicator of anything really! I'm sure others will chime in here too. We usually have monthly POAS threads for support/solidarity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847638 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:44:44 +0000 lioness21 2847638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I feel like I don't want to stress myself out too early on in the process and want to just see how nature takes it's course over the next few months, I will look into buying OPKs in the future to confirm. I've actually purchased a BBT thermometer online (as we don't have them readily available in the country I live in) and I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can start charting to identify if I'm ovulating! I've always had this irrational fear that I will suffer with infertility because of the fact that I have irregular cycles, but I know that I need to trust in God's plan for my life ☺️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847633 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:39:06 +0000 snowjewelz 2847633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioness21: Yeah, that's why I went to using OPKs because my cycles post pills were not regular and I couldn't tell with any other symptoms and it was just a lot to BD all the time haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847632 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:37:01 +0000 lioness21 2847632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I always had an irregular cycle pre-BCPs, usually ranged between 30-40 days, once I had an 18 day cycle. Coming off the pill I had a 28, 14, 19, and 24 day cycle, currently on CD22 and hope it lasts longer this cycle. I have no idea if I'm ovulating, I did have some spotting on CD16, I feel like I can't say I'm TTC because I don't actually know when I'm ovulating, we've just been BDing EOD and we'll see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847631 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:33:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2847631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioness21: So exciting! When I was trying for my first, after I came off pills, I just could not NTNP once I learned all about TTC haha. I tried to chart and figure out my ovulation for 2 cycles but was too confused, and went straight to using OPKs my 3rd cycle and conceived! Then my LO2 was conceived while NTNP :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847629 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:30:29 +0000 lioness21 2847629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Thanks for the welcome!<br /> I stopped BCPs in June and we pulled out for a few months, we decided to NTNP this month and see what happens, will probably actively TTC if it takes longer than 6 months, this will be our first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847626 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:24:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2847626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome! </p> <p>We're kind of NTNP... I don't think we're going for a 3rd, so I loosely prevent mid-cycle, but also not actively preventing either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-currently-ntnp#post-2847625 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:19:07 +0000 lioness21 2847625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi bees! I'm new to this board and wanted to find out how many bees are currently NTNP? When did you decide to stop preventing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulation#post-2654180 Fri, 18 Nov 2016 08:49:03 +0000 DaniNae 2654180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emsmems we aren't even really TTC! We were going to NTNP although we haven't really. Things have kind of been the same as usual. Sometimes we are careful, and sometimes we aren't, but if I did O early, there would def be a chance because we weren't doing anything to avoid around that time since I'm usually in the clear around that time! </p> <p>@umbreon It has been about 3 years or so since I have temp'ed, so I forget how much it ranges! I picked up a new thermometer yesterday so I can start getting in the habit again! I should have known though, because my cycles have been pretty irregular since I stopped breastfeeding about 6 months ago. They have been anywhere from 25-34 days long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulation#post-2653922 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 18:27:25 +0000 Umbreon 2653922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one cycle where I was very dry and barely had EWCM. My O pain was weird that cycle as well. I happened to be temping though, and very clearly ovulated. AF came exactly two weeks later as I'd expected based on the chart. </p> <p>I've also had it happen where I've ovulated way earlier than I was expecting. It doesn't happen often, but it happens now and then. I've been keeping track of my periods and symptoms for a year and a half now, and I've been temping for maybe 4-5 months. I can tell you, even though I'd say my cycles are super regular, it's not REALLY regular. I've ovulated as early as CD10 (only once this early though) and as late as CD19. I usually ovulate between CD13-16. I always get AF two weeks later though, so it's predictable in that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulation#post-2653876 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 17:34:22 +0000 Emsmems 2653876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wrote a big post and my phone deleted it. Ugh. </p> <p>You never know. In August I had NO signs of ovulation (usually I have EWCM and cramping/twinges with ovulation but nada). I did OPK's from day 14 on (usually ovulated on day 16ish) and they were all negative. And lo and behold, I got pregnant! We had sex on days 10,12, and 14, so I'm guessing I ovulated early. Point is, just have sex and hope for the best! TTC can be so frustrating and confusing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulation#post-2653856 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 17:14:34 +0000 DaniNae 2653856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a super wonky (and late) period last month. I spotted for 5 whole days before it actually turned into a real period, and then my period was only 4 days. Typically I spot for a couple days and then have a period for about 6-7 days. I counted the first day of regular bleeding as CD1. On CD8 I had all of my normal ovulation symptoms but without any EWCM (well, to the eye at least, I didn't actually dig around and check "up there"). I even had pinching in my lower back on the left side and a bit of spotting (which happens every month around O time). </p> <p>So far, still no EWCM (just creamy) and no other symptoms that would signal ovulation yet, but its still only CD12, so that could change. </p> <p>I'm not temping so I can't confirm that it was actually O and not something else. </p> <p>So to sum it up, the only difference was that I think I ovulated super early and without noticeable CM. </p> <p>Do you think that last month could have been anovulatory and I just didn't notice, which threw everything off and caused me to ovulate "early" since technically the period I had wouldn't have been a period? Do you think the O symptoms could have been caused by something else? OR did I count the wrong day as CD1, and everything should be adjusted? What is the most likely scenario?</p> <p>I'm so mad I wasn't temping, otherwise I would probably know! Grrrr.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-new-here#post-2651961 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 06:58:58 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2651961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hello and welcome! wow 4 is exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-new-here#post-2651934 Sun, 13 Nov 2016 23:03:14 +0000 jhd 2651934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi and welcome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-new-here#post-2651933 Sun, 13 Nov 2016 23:00:06 +0000 shellio 2651933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DaniNae: Welcome!

At this point now that my youngest is almost 2, I feel like it's already so chaotic, that seriously, one more is not going to make or break my sanity!

Posting here has seemed to bring lots of quick :bfp: 's. Hoping the same for you!<br /> Exciting to be trying for four! I'm pregnant with my 2nd but DH's 13 year old stepdaughter lives with us full-time so we have 3. The 4th is undecided yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-new-here#post-2651253 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:51:05 +0000 DaniNae 2651253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer they are 8, 4, and almost 2! </p> <p>Everyone in the family has been dying for us to have another one and we have been insisting it isn't going to happen! :wink: </p> <p>However, I guess the warm fuzzy holiday feelings are creeping in!

This is our first month of NTNP. I'm not really sure what we are thinking, because with our first 3, we got preggo with each one on the first time, in fact, DD #1 was not even planned. So, I say NTNP lightly, because I think we both expect a pretty quick and swift BFP (and I'm secretly hoping so)!</p> <p>Baby #: 4</p> <p>Excited for: Pregnancy. And I never thought I would say that again. Just last year I was saying I wasn't sure if I ever wanted to do it again or not! </p> <p>Nervous about: Everything! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-new-here#post-2651235 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:31:22 +0000 DaniNae 2651235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone! :happy: I am new here and just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! </p> <p>Me and the hubs have 3 kiddos, and have just decided to stop preventing and see what happens for #4. We honestly weren't even sure if we would ever make the jump from 3-4 so I'm feeling allllll the feelings. Anxious, excited, nervous, and terrified! </p> <p>Anywho - I look froward to chatting some more and having an outlet to discuss all things baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-whos-ttc-or-ntnp/page/2#post-2611912 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 10:50:58 +0000 jhd 2611912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: thanks!
