Temping was the only way I could see a pattern, a clear shift, and know when my period was coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788850 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:58:40 +0000 photojane 788850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an app called "Period Diary" that I used it to track my period, so I used that as a pretty loose guide. You put in your normal cycle length, but it learns your cycle &amp; stuff, so it makes predictions of when you will ovulate &amp; when you will start your period. We just had sexytime around the predicted ovulation time - I knew it could be a few days off, but we weren't planning on full-on TTC unless it took 6+ months to get pregnant. I think the app is useful if you don't want to temp &amp; chart, but still want something to help. Hey, it's gotta be at least sort of accurate - we got pregnant the first month off BC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788823 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:55:15 +0000 T.H.O.U. 788823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: this is totally my issue right now!! I guess I just keep testing until AF shows up. I think I realistically know if it was going to be positive then I would have gotten a positive now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788818 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:54:45 +0000 GrapeCrush 788818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were just seeing what happened for #1 I just tracked AF with a tracker app on my phone. I was extremely regular though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788797 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:52:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 788797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CBE fertility monitor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788786 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:50:59 +0000 nana87 788786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>last month was our first cycle ttc and I didn't chart anything besides the day I got my period, and it definitely made me anxious for the last two weeks of the end of a longer-than-usual cycle--I tested SIX times, eek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788778 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:50:08 +0000 Maysprout 788778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do it most days so never bothered with charting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788773 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:49:51 +0000 Bao 788773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to try and go with the flow next time around, but I think I will give up on that easily since it's just not me to not do everything I can to make it happen. I have no idea how to do this, so looking to read some answers as well! Great thread :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788765 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:48:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 788765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: yes this is what I've done in the past too and it's been enough to at least guess at when I ovulated. I didn't want to stress about OPKs or timing our activity this month which was great the first two weeks but now I'm going crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788762 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:48:24 +0000 chopsuey 788762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a really regular cycle and when I ovulated I would feel a little pinch around my ovary.<br /> We never actively TTC, but I remember when I got pregnant with DS I felt the pinch later than I expected (cycle was longer than usual since I was still nursing). We had DTD that day so I had a.. uh oh moment, but quickly forgot about it until I started having pregnancy symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788756 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:48:00 +0000 heffalump 788756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't temp all the time, but I still did write down my days that I had CM because for me it's always been easy to track with that. DH would write it in his phone app and he'd keep track of it for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788754 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:47:42 +0000 hilsy85 788754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I gave up "going with the flow" really quickly! It drove me crazy not knowing when to expect my period or whether we even had a shot on a given month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788745 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:46:56 +0000 Rubies 788745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I used when TTC were OPKs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-without-charting-how-do-you-do-it#post-788739 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:46:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 788739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg this was our month to just have fun so I tracked the days we got busy but wasn't tracking cm or OPKs. </p> <p>Now based on past cycle lengths, AF should be here soon but I don't know when I ovulated so I have no idea what's going on. I have tested and all negative. . </p>
