poll - naturally

All these posts had me thinking. I haven't used any of these tests yet. Half the time, I don't even understand the abbreviations on this board. Chat Icon


Just curious how everyone started out. I did it as a poll, so there is privacy.


Thanks!


Happy new year & Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon for everyone in 2008.

Re: poll - naturally

I choose all natural but after 8 months I am moving to OPK's... I thought it was a little more than a "few months" so I didn't choose option 3. Good LuckChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: poll - naturally

We started with kits right away, but that's because we knew from the start it was going to be difficult to get pregnant.

Re: poll - naturally

I pretty much knew each month when I was O'ing so we started out that way and it worked on the 2nd try (month).

Re: poll - naturally

I don't use any tests, kits, etc.

Honestly, I don't have the first clue about when I ovulate, the days to wait, the fluid tricks, NOTHING!!

I swear, I don't even know how i got past 8th grade health - i feel like I don't know a thing about my own body Chat Icon

Re: poll - naturally

I started off temping when I came off BCP so I would have an idea of when I was ovulating. Then AF stopped coming and it was a whole new ball games.
Nothing is natural now.

Re: poll - naturally

I had the CBEFM from when I had my son, but my cycles are irregular and it doesnt always work for me. The OPK are good I think if you are regular. I know that this month I got a positve reading and I wasn't ovulating...Chat Icon really weird!

we started out totally natural, just letting it happen, and when it didnt, I started to temp chart and use opks. I was really surprised how much I learned about my cycle, month 3 of temping we got our bfp.

Re: poll - naturally

after goign off BCP my cycles became super long, so i used the OPKs to figure out when i would ovulate, but that is all that we did, no charting or temping- too complicated Chat Icon
