TTC, method of TTC

Please tell how you went about TTC with your kids

Well with Wil, we used the charting and BBT method (FAM, which stands for Fertility Awareness Method, google it if you want, good book), until finally I quit and got PG! TTC for about six months. I am sure it works for some people, and believe me, it taught me A LOT about my body and my cycles, but it wasn't until I relaxed and didn't think about it that much that we conceived.

With Wesley, we weren't preventing, but not really trying either, just happened. But thank god it did!

I charted religiously up until our second loss. We got pregnant the very next cycle, but I just went on when i thought I was ovulating...I didn't actually do any temps that time.

She was a suprise

LOL to the last option in the poll

We were trying but I didn't chart.

I didn't vote because I didn't chart, I went to walmart at the end of my first cycle and bought Ovulation sticks and I got pregnant that month because we knew when to actually try I'm impatient

with blakely we weren't necissarily trying, but definately weren't preventing. With Ayden we were trying but not charting. With this pregnancy we weren't trying but also weren't preventing.

For lack of better words...

when I was "slimy" down there we went at it every 2nd day.

With emily we tried for right at a year and finally got prego. Aiden we stopped using protection for 2 months and I was prego.

We never tried Well, I guess you could say we tried, but not for the sake of ttc One or both of us is very fertile, b/c when I got pg with the twins I had only been off depo for a month. When we got pg with Macie, I was late filling my prescription for the pill by a week or two.

Well 3 kids were surprises and one kid was a case of trying but I never charted...

The first 4mons I tracked my ovulation, used the O predictor kit(its like an hpt) December af showed up, I decided to not keep track of anything and ttc but not really try...and here we are prego in January

A couple friends of mine and my mom told me it happens when you arent really trying, that is how my brother and I were conceived. And it worked for me, so Im a believer of that method.

We actually didn't try for any of them. I ended up getting pregnant really quickly after the two times we decided to more or less not prevent, and then one was a total surprise

Dylan was a surprise.
Peyton we were going to start trying around Feb. but I got preg alot quicker than I thought I would. I got lazy taking my pills knowing we were going to start TTC soon and I got pregnant within a couple weeks (in Nov.).

He looks SO cute in your siggy!!!

We tried, but I didn't chart, just kind of tried to figure out which days were right by how I felt.....I guess.

Olivia was a surprise - we were getting married in about 5 weeks so we figured what the heck ONE TIME and low and behold she we had a "bean" who attended our wedding

For Dylan I got preg the first month we tried - had a chemical pregnancy then charted for three months and got Dylan

All of my kids were surprises.

I was 17 when I got preggo with Aaron. Lily's bio dad told me he was sterile and DH and I got preggo 2 wks after we started seeing each other.

Dd was a surprise baby in a way. I was on and off birth control the month we conceived her because I ran out before I could get to the doctor to get a script for some more. So basically the first month of not being on complete birth control.

When we got pregnant with Will it was kind of #1 and #2... he was a surprise, but not a huge one since we had DTD a couple of times that month w/o protection.
I'm hoping a next one will happen without having to really try too much other than DTD when I'm O'ing.

Carly was a big-time surprise, considering my dr. wasn't sure if I'd be able to conceive because I have 2 sets of female organs... SURPRISE!!

He looks SO cute in your siggy!!!

aw, thanks. He's such a ham.

Izabella a surprise.

Evan a complete surprise.

With this one I went to fertilitygal.com and started a calendar and also got an O kit. Between the O kit and the calendar I pretty much knew when to dtd and the calendar also told me I was more then likely preggo on the 11th of this month. It was right on.
