DH and I are NTNP/TTC this summer/fall and I find myself almost as clueless as I was 2.5 years ago when we were TTC DS!
-
Yes! B was a happy mistake. TTC sucks. Good luck!!
-
When we were TTC for #2, I definitely felt clueless! My cycles were all over the place and it wasn't anything like how predictable things were for #1! I ended up having to use OPKs for #2, which I had never used before, so it felt all new!!
-
@littlek: thanks!
@Adira: yea my cycles shortened, but nvr consistently since A and trying to figure it all out is giving me a headache!
-
@mrsjyw: hahaha, yeah, with TTC #2, I was just like "WHAT IS MY BODY DOING?????" It was so frustrating!! But OPKs worked for me, thankfully! I hope you figure things out soon!
-
I don't know anything!
-
@mrsjyw: Good luck! I'm right with ya....NTNP/TTC this summer!
@Adira: Which OPK did you use? If I don't get knocked up in a few months I'm going to try the OPK!
-
@dolphin: I just ordered a bunch of the Wondfos off Amazon! They worked great for me, but I did use 3 a day to make sure I didn't miss my surge! Good luck!!
-
@mrsjyw: so excited for you and FX it's an easy process for you!
I totally felt clueless bc we got pregnant on cycle 2 with LO...so it wasn't like I was doing OPKs or anything detailed charting. And it took longer for baby #2 so I was totally clueless. The ladies on the TTC board were so helpful and patient with all my newbie questions
-
@Adira: yea i'm not yet using opks or the cbefm and not sure i want to! too much thinking!
@dolphin:
@sandy: thank you!!
-
@mrsjyw: Yeah, I didn't want to use OPKs, but after two totally weird cycles, I was desperate, haha. You're still NTNP, so hopefully you won't have to use them at all!
-
Yes, last time we got pregnant the first time trying, it was like we talked about it and then BAM pregnant.
This round, I'm on month #2 (3 with NTNP) and I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I was really hoping it would have happened like last time. If I don't get pregnant this month (which would have happened in the last few days) then I will be using OPT and maybe acupuncture, I really want to be pregnant by August, due to the way my work vacation falls.
-
I feel like I know what we're doing, but my body doesn't seem to of gotten that memo! Like several of you have said, my cycles have been kind of wacky since having DS and weaning. Actually when I think about it, the last time I got pregnant so fast that I don't even know for sure how my cycles were then either. The only month I charted or took OPK's was the month I got pregnant. So I really don't know what my normal LP was. Although my cycles seemed to be longer than they are now
-
Yes! I was one of the lucky ones to get pregnant on the first cycle with LO #1. I am TTC LO #2 now and am in the TWW for cycle 2. It's still so early and yet, I'm already frustrated. It's definitely annoying how it isn't an exact science, you know?
-
@mrsjyw: !!!
-
Oh my god yes! My experience was like @meredithNYC: and I was so spoiled by that. It took me 7 months and it felt like years but I do think it broadened my perspective and helped me to understand more how lucky I was.
Good luck on your journey! I hope it's short.
-
@meredithNYC: i'm bracing myself that this whole ntnp thing probably isn't going to last long with my ocd type personality!
but i'm also not wanting to use the CBEFM we used the month we got our BFP for our ds@pepper: thanks swt friend!! i thought you knew we'd be ttc soon!
@mrsmccarthy: thank you and congrats!
-
I think what I"m mostly afraid of is that I have long-ish cycles (32-26 days) and the month that we got our bfp with DS I used the CBEFM which gave me 12 days of high and then 2 days of peak O days... we BD almost everyday and boy was it exhausting. I def won't be doing that again if I don't have to!
FX I can figure out my O week/day in the coming months, or a "surprise" bfp! before then!
