How are you going to try #2 (and beyond)? With our first we (I) tracked my o w/ a monitor, with #2 I'll let nature take its course.

Hmm, not sure yet, because LO is only 7 months and we probably won't have another child for a couple years. I think we'll probably start off NTNP and if that doesn't work after a couple cycles, start actively TTC w/charting, tracking, etc?

We didn't try for #1 or #2. Just let nature take its course!

I just tracked my periods with #2; I didn't chart or anything. It only took one cycle, though, so our TTC time was very short.
I'm charting right now to avoid, so we'll actively TTC #3 in a while.

I'm still pregnant with #1, but my plan is to NTNT for the first few months (when we're ready), but then bump up my game to full on TTC with charting. Hubs and I really want our children to be close in age, so I want to maximize our chances of that by actively trying and charting (after a few months of casual fun).

@Boogs: I was like, "Well, that's a change!" It's always worse in your imagination than in reality.

@Honeybee: Oh I'm sure it is. Someone I know just had #2 and keeps saying on FB every day how hard it is and how she's barely staying alive, lol. Hasn't been helping my fears that's for sure.

@Boogs: Bwahahaha, no kidding. Eh, you'll get there eventually. No rush, right?

We conceived #1 after 6 months of NTNT. We'll probably do the same for #2 and then if no BFP by the time #1 is about 15 months will start TTC with Charting.

@Honeybee: Yes and no. We can do what we want, but also think the kids would enjoy not being too far apart.

I tracked while ttc #1, but will probably try to just ttc with #2.
I would love to ntnt because I think a "surprise" would be so fun lol
