ntnp what does it mean for you

[hayleyttcbb1]

Just wondering do you ladies still track things etc or jst let mother nature take her course

Previously when i was NTNP we just had sex whenever. We did no tracking, nothing at all. I successfully had 2 kids NTNP and then an "accidental" pregnancy (i started seeing someone seriously and i hadn't been on BC because i had been seeing no one and had NOT been having sex, i discovered i was pregnant when i went to get on BC lol). However i was also young, 16-27 and now that im TTC it's become harder. It should be soooo easy, but even when i was NTNP i had almost an exact 3 year average between kids

It doesnt seem easya no matter which way u do it
the only difference i think so far would be oh im late instead of must test 13 dpo lol well way before that
Im just trying to figure out what way to go the one month i thought stuff it i did get preg

I track my cycle on an app on my phone, monthly have ovulation pains, and somewhat track my CM. We are not fully trying to conceive yet (intermittent pull out method) but I think this coming month we will definitely be doing more of the NP. I considered tracking temps, but I just want to be more laid back with TTC because I can see myself getting obsessed with poas, bbt, etc. I don't want this to consume any more of my life than it already does. I already think about it like 90% of my day

I'd say it's not taking BC and not doing anything else! Charting, temping, opks etc I'd say is full on TTC

 

[hayleyttcbb1]

Letting it hapen when it happens i realy wana try it that way but due to a acidy enviroment so to speak when im using preseed its always in back of my mind might just use it certain days and leave it at that lol maybe

I say NTNP is just not using protection but not tracking your cycle in anyway. I am tracking my cycle but not for TTC reasons. I was tracking this month anyway but hubby has decided to stop pulling out so here I am Were still having sex when we want and not when i think im ovulating x

 

[RoseNoire]

To me, it means not using any protection, and not tracking anything about your cycle except af.

Charting, temping, opks etc I'd say is full on TTC

Not necessarily, this is basically the Natural Family Planning method which is advocated for it's non hormonal and non invasive tracking of cycles to know when to have or avoid sex (based on preventing or trying). Also if you then DO want to TTC you have a much better understanding of your body and cycles and fertility.

I agree with Pixxie on this one, as you said yourself, that method is based on preventing or trying, and NTNP is called that for a reason. If you are tracking when you are fertile/not fertile, you are either ttc or preventing. Otherwise, you wouldn't want or need that information.

We are NTNP but because I have short cycles and short LP I am temping just get more information about my cycles and understand my body better. Because of my short LP I'm worried that I will have fertility issues when we do start ttc in earnest.

 

[hayleyttcbb1]

Im only doing temping just to see my lp phase and to confirm o tossed opks out
lp which was coming up with af on 7 dpo, this cycle i took proestrogen cream and im 10 dpo at mo and no spotting mayb futher along as had two temp dips few days apart

It took us over a year of active trying, a fertility specialist, and unfortunately some fertility drugs, to get pregnant with my first. He is almost 8 months old now, and we have toyed with the idea of trying to get pregnant again. The last few times we dtd, DH didn't take any "precautionary measures" so I think we may be entering a NTNP phase. For us it means no doctor involvement, no drugs, just doing what we do. If we are blessed enough to get pregnant I will be grateful that it didn't have to be so stressful this time!

 

[Srrme]

I'm not doing anything. Just letting nature take its course. I don't need any added stress, haha.

For me, it's not temping or keeping tons of HPT/OPKs in the house. For getting pg w/our first 2 children, I got into TTC majorly in the worst way and lived on TTC boards like 24-7 and it made my nerves bad. LOL. Too much POAS and crying over BFN on test often taken to soon, the whole mess.

The third child happened just fine by noticing my EWCM, no basal thermo. or fertility monitor(I have one around here somewhere that would beep, like an alarm *cringes*).

We were preventing for a while after the 3rd so to get back to this place of NTNP is nice and calm. I don't want to ruin the mood of freedom and relaxation. I still chart periods/CM and BDs but I try to leave it there.

 

[mom26babes]

For us, it is just using the W/D method.

When we eventually get to this point, all we'll do really is just I'll come off BC. I don't wanna get into the charting and stuff and making it stressful. Not be driven by when I'm going to ovulate and just having sex as and when we want. Otherwise it feels too, I'm not sure what the right word would be... Strict perhaps? And not having sex when we want to, but rather when we HAVE too if that makes sense?
