I didn't realize it at the time.</p> <p>Second pregnancy was very planned.</p> <p>Third was a oops, not really a surprise. I know exactly when it happened and was worried, but was also 10 month pp and still breast feeding like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-surprise-or-planned#post-2767293 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 14:42:01 +0000 ShootingStar 2767293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both were planned. LO1 was conceived with the help of an RE and a lot of medication. LO2 we were trying and didn't need the RE. I was a little shocked about LO2 because it happened the first cycle. Literally, two weeks after we decided to try naturally I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-surprise-or-planned#post-2767246 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 02:58:20 +0000 NurseDMB 2767246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both planned </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-surprise-or-planned#post-2767232 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 21:45:08 +0000 Shantuck 2767232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I totally agree.

That was totally a surprise because we were gearing up for IVF and in the middle of getting our tests done when it happened.</p> <p>DS2 was sort of a NTNP surprise. We got pregnant right after I got my first PP period, but we were expecting to need IVF with any future kids after our struggles with DS1 so hadn't worried about getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-surprise-or-planned#post-2767165 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 16:56:17 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2767165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 planned<br /> #2 will be planned as well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-surprise-or-planned#post-2767152 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 16:23:33 +0000 QBbride 2767152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 planned (although it was a surprise that it happened so quickly)<br /> #2 planned (early m/c)<br /> #3 NTNP (had only had the m/c a couple weeks before so weren't really trying but not really preventing.

That's how M came to be. If we were actively trying, it would have looked like more sex during a planned window of time. That month, we just said we'd stop preventing, but not actively try.</p> <p>This in contrast to trying for months for A. It was very much planned, and we paid way more attention to my cycle and had sex accordingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-surprise-or-planned#post-2766905 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 23:13:30 +0000 littlejoy 2766905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 very planned<br /> #2 we had just decided that month to stop preventing pregnancy, but we weren't actively trying ... so, a semi-surprise </p>
