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.

I had a really regular cycle and when I ovulated I would feel a little pinch around my ovary.
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.

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

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!

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

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 & stuff, so it makes predictions of when you will ovulate & 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 & 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!

I paid attention to CM, and hoped for the best.
