We did the NTNT at first, and then I plugged my period dates into an app on my phone, which provided me with a window based on when it guessed my ovulation. No charting, so obviously it wasn't an exact science, but that was enough to get a +HPT

We charted from the very beginning (I was actually charting prior to TTC due to my PCOS) and were actively trying from the beginning as well. I wish that we could have NTNT but I know myself and with my type A personality not knowing that we were hitting the right times, etc would have made me way more obsessed and crazy than actively TTC did! At least when I knew what was going on I felt like I had a *little* more control over something that was ultimately out of our hands.

The baby was a surprise, but we've been charting/using FAM to prevent pregnancy for years. We just got lazy one month, and I didn't get my usual ovulation signs because it was a very stressful month.

We actively TTC from the start. I said I wouldn't, but of course I'm such a planner and I wanted it to happen fast and I felt like that was the best way for me to make that happen.

I was going to start charting my next cycle. We were actively trying for 4 cycles, I realized I was ovulating late (and I have short cycles), so I was pretty certain it wasn't my month, so I decided I wasn't going to "try" for a few months. Turned out that not being emotionally invested in being pregnant right NOW helped.

We were actively TTC from the beginning and charting! I didn't want to leave anything to chance and I want to get pregnant as soon as possible. I figured my best chance was to quickly learn my cycle and know when I ovulate so that we can time things correctly. So far it hasn't worked, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I started out using an app on my phone to keep track of my cycles. After 5 months I switched to charting. Four months after that I was sick of it all and ready to take a break. That's when we found out about the infertility.

I picked 2 options. DD1 was a complete surprise. In fact, I would say we were trying NOT to but she apparently had her own plans. DD2 we actively TTC right from the beginning, as soon as we decided it was go time. I didn't chart or anything, just put us on a 2x/week schedule and we got lucky!

i'd been on BC because my periods were MIA. dr told me when we were ready to TTC to let her know & she would start us on something to help me ovulate. i wasn't ready to start anything, so i went off the BC last summer before we got married, knowing it was unlikely to happen before the wedding, but if it did we were totally fine with it. we've just continued to... enjoy being newlyweds... hoping that would eventually lead to a LO, but we're getting close to 1 year with that plan & it hasn't happened yet. my cycles as just getting longer (54 days) so now we're reevaluating the plan =/ this summer the focus is on getting healthy, learning to chart, trying to get me to ovulate on my own, and enjoying what could be our last summer as just a couple. in the fall, we'll start with some help if it hasn't happened yet.
