The relaxed approach...

lily24 · Feb 2nd, 2012, 08:45 AM

...Have been TTC #2 for some months now and as you can all imagine, pretty fed up as AF reared her ugly head 2 days early this month

Have decided to stop Charting, stop DTD when 'Im most fertile' according to my dates and all the rest of the stuff thats driving me to become a man woman obsesed!

Is anyone else just trying to chill out from all the 'text book' stuff and enjoy TTC?

Yes. I've put all the opks, and charts aside. We are just going to bd every other day, and I'm going to try not to read into everything.

Hey good idea, we've stopped temping (not done so for maybe 3 cycles) stopped symptom spotting, and cut down checking cp to once a week or so drives you batty otherwise doesn't it xx

My doctor actually suggested it to me, at first i was like no way! as it actually became an everyday part of my life symptom spotting etc
Now im completly relaxing and hoping BFP will surprise me soon

What a rollercoaster TTC is! And i can just see me when (eventually) im 8 months pregnant, with lack of sleep, back pain and fat ankles complaining about being pregnant! cannot win :0)

I have vivid memories of when i used to be like this, i so wish it could happen again!
I used to think, if it happens i would be delighted but if it doesnt im still blessed with 1 beautiful baby. But now im like i want babies, babies, babies!
Try and get back into your old way of thinking before you go bonkers hunni!! he he

I think it was more NTNP naivety. I thought i'll just stop the pill and it'll happen, at the 7 month mark i started to panic, especially as i have irregular cycles and never had a positive OPK. The last few months have been hell!

I had a blood test done at the doctors last week to confirm if i am ovulating.
Have you considered asking for this?
