In need of support/advice

[Angel022605]

I need friends who are in the same boat as me. I'm thinking about kicking the BBT and just chart CM/CP. It's too stressful. I remember before I even knew about charting and tracking how we spontaneously BD(used BCP and condoms) and how much fun it was. Ever since I started tracking and charting I feel stressed. We we were NTNP back then and are currently NTNP. The reason I'm posting here is to get as much support/advice as I can. How did you get your BFP by just tracking CM/CP? Right now I take a multivitamin with folic acid and Vit C supplement. DH doesn't want me to take prenatals until we are full blown 100% TTC. I wanna know from experienced ladies any advice/support you have for NTNP by only CM/CP. I'm depressed and stressed right now and believe that taking away monitoring BBT will lower the stress. What are your thoughts??

I'm currently on try number 4. All 3 of my prior pregnancies ended in miscarriage and were during NTNP where I didn't track a thing.

This is my second cycle TTC and I'm not temping or charting. I'm using an app called Ovia and it gives me a 6 day window of fertility based on my cycle info. I just jump on the OH at least 3 times and then we go back to normal unplanned spontaneous sex.

I do check my CM and Ovia seems to know quite s bit from the info I put in.

Honestly I think I'd get really stressed if I temped and charted and that's not a good way to conceive. Just take your folic acid, relax and enjoy the ride. He won't sleep with a stressful mess and you want your babies conception to be special, not just a forced quickie cause you got crosshairs! Lol

No BFP story here yet, but I'm on cycle #4 and I've decided to just use LH strips and an app to track my cycles. I have pretty regular cycles, so I only test LH for a few days right around the time I usually get a peak. I've also decided that bbt would just be too stressful for me. My hubby jokes around a bit during the fertile window, but honestly my libido is just higher then too. Managing stress is a big part of ttc, so do what helps you continue to enjoy the process. Whether you're ntnp or ttc you never know how long (or short) your journey will be. Best of luck to you!

Everywhere i have read about tracking though cp has advised against it. So i would do a bit of googling to see if its something you want to do.

I currently track my cycles using ovia as well as glow and i also use opks and track my cm.

I tried tracking bbt and it was just too much for me. it made it feel like extra work before work and thats not really my thing lol
