Does anyone else ntnp find...

[cliqmo]

That although you may not be charting, temping, using OPKs, spermicides or other trickery, you still know roughly when you should have O and find the TWW exasperating??

We are not monitoring anything, or taking any special measures to conceive- so I guess really we are ntnp, however I still have to actively prevent myself symptom spotting and can't help pulling my hair out as AF due date nears

Anyone else ntnp but still getting bonkers at the end of each cycle?

I'm with you here, its so so hard not to symptom spot. Currently in my 2ww.

Well, I am waiting to ovulate. I don't chart or anything, but I didn't do that before... I just knew my OV date and did everything possible to capatalize on those days leading up to OV. I am trying to stay calm, but I checked my OV date last night...so I am finding hard adjusting from TTC to NtNp.... BUT, I also recently found out I have MTHFR (clotting disorder) and may be taking it easier just to let my body build up with the meds before demanding pregnancy.... not sure how that will go...

I never noticed symptoms until I read a test I'd kept for a few days and saw 2 lines on it. Looks totally positive but other test have confirmed I'm not pregnant. But now that I've confirmed I'm not, I'm suddenly getting symptoms to suggest other-wise. Idk....maybe I ov'd later this month or something. All I know is there's suddenly symptoms and I'm desperately trying to ignore them!

I'm def with ya there hun!! I'm crap at taking the relaxed approach
I don't temp or chart but I have a fair idea when I ov and it then drives me crazy for the TWW lol

I think it's natural to feel like that. You know your own body, so you will be aware of certain things. I get twinges when I ovulate. With our first baby we took the NTNP approach but I still desperately wanted to be pregnant. We were very lucky with how quickly we fell x

I think I am due to ovulate any time now, just a feeling i have (had some OC type pains)
The problem I am having is getting OH to BD on demand lol...we agreed we would not TTC to the point where we timetabled sex but.... if i am ovulating i want to do it now!

So hard trying to NTNP when you want a BFP so bad xxxx

We are in a situation right now where DH is 'not trying' and I'm 'not preventing'!

My youngest is 9 months and I'm still breastfeeding, however, my cycle returned when she was 6 months. It was heavy and lasted 9 days but I've had nothing since. I took a test about 6 weeks ago which was negative but this last week I've had mild headaches, frequent urination, fatigue, fluttering in my tummy, very hungry and am constipated tmi I know, sorry! I don't want to take a test because I don't want it to be a BFN. It's all I can think about lol xx

Good luck ogre_babies xx

I've only been TTC since August but last month I was completely fine until the dayy AF was due and then started noticing all sorts of weird and unusual symptoms and almost lost the plot until AF showed up finally, 9 days late!

This month my AF is due today and to be honest I hadn't thought about the whole thing for ages until this morning and now it's all I can think about...

Honestly, I'd rather have AF show up right this instant than go through another several days of symptom-spotting and going slightly crazy just because AF can't be bothered to keep to our usual schedule...

We are ntnp because we want to let it happen, and I refuse to temp or chart or opk or anything. But I know exactly when I ovulate because I am super regular, and I can feel it, so our efforts definitely increase around that time, and then totally decrease the week that would be implantation let's say... but otherwise I try not to symptom spot, because I have learned that when you want something badly enough anything is a symptom. Good luck to all of you!

Techincally we're NTNP until at least the end of the year, however I know my cycle and know when I will be most fertile (roll on Thursday LOL)

If we're not pregnant by January than we will consider charting my cycle a bit more accurately.

I know that we get pregnant quite easily (we've had 1 M/C and 1 chemical pregnancy in the past 4 months). I just want a viable pregnancy so I am prepared to wait as long as it takes to be blessed with that.
