ADVICE NEEDED FROM NTNPers....maybe TMI?

[Jess137]

Popping in from WTT again...Just wanted to ask something. Me and OH are technically WTT, but last night we did the BD with no protection and he didn't pull out. Also think I may have ovulated yesterday. I also went ahead and used a softcup after and left it overnight. I know the odds are slim of getting pg, but has anyone gotten pg in a situation like this? I am happy because this may mean that OH is ok with actively TTC sooner. Maybe I will get to join you in NTNP, I don't know. I know this sounds silly but I wanted to get some opinions. Sorry to bother you...

Didn't want to read and run... but it sounds like you did everything right to get PG to me!

Fingers crossed! The only thing is that if you already ovulated yesterday, the BD might have been too late as the egg can't survive for too long once it's released. Better in general to BD in the lead up to ovulation as the sperm can live for days waiting the the egg to arrive. But you never know your luck! And at least even if you don't get lucky this time it looks like maybe your OH is coming round to the idea of TTC.

Thanks. I didn't want to push OH on the issue since until last night he was adamant about waiting till June to TTC. Besides, I just got off BCP and started my withdrawal bleed on 3/3 and ended 3/6, so I haven't even had a full cycle off the BCP. I just had a few symptoms that I thought might be ovulation symptoms. I do have EWCM. I just didn't realize how to look for it until I read something a few minutes ago.

Does anyone use BBT? I know this is the NTNP forum but I figure that some people probably try to track their cycles just so they know when it is time to TTC. I was thinking about getting a BBT and trying it.

I started yesterday so that I could get to know my cycles since I've been on birth control (pill, Depo, Mirena) for the past 11 years. I read "Taking Charge Of Your Fertility" to learn more about how to do it in order to prevent pregnancy as well as how to TTC. It was a really informative read and I'd definitely recommend it. My plan is to use it to get to know my cycles without hormones and possibly to sorta prevent until I get married in June and then in June, use it to increase the odds of having a baby girl.

I was on BCPs for 8 years so I am trying to learn my cycle as well. I need to go get that book. Thanks!

It was a great book. I also read "What to expect before you're expecting" and "How to choose the sex of your baby" - I liked both of those as well.

 

[Jess137]

I read What To Expect Before You're Expecting. I also have What To Expect When You're Expecting and am reading that. It can't hurt to read it ahead of time, right?

 

[gardenofedens]

hehe definitely not!

Maybe the odds are slim,but if you ovulated, could be.

If you are pg then it was definitely meant to be, if not maybe your OH will be coming round to the idea of TTC.
Good luck and please let us know any outcomes
