What method are you using to TTC?

I think I got most of the popular options but just in case I missed one there is an "other" as well.

If you chose "other" I would appreciate if you explain Chat Icon

We're winging it! Although this is only month 2 of trying so if it doesn't happen in the next month or two, we'll be using other methods. Chat Icon

Re: What method are you using to TTC?

We were using a combo of opks and the saliva monitor. Now we are just going to wing it for a while till our next gyno appt in Nov. I was getting so tired of it all that I just need a small break.

Re: What method are you using to TTC?

Well, in the beginning we were just winging it but only for a couple of months. Then we started using OPKs and last cycle was my first temping. We're on to month 5 or 6 (not sure!) of TTC. And we've been using preseed since the begining. It's starting to get frustrating..... Chat Icon

Re: What method are you using to TTC?

I temped and followed my CM. I tried OPKs one month and it messed me up so that was it for me.

Re: What method are you using to TTC?

Never wanted to do this, but upon request from my RE, I use OPKs and temping/charting. They are consistent with each other.

I have been using OPK's and temping/charting after winging it for the first 2-3 months. Using both OPK's and temping has been really helpful in terms of timing.

Re: What method are you using to TTC?

I have done all of the above, but right now I am just using the fertility monitor and OPK's to back it up.

I hit other.
I am just bding every other day from cd 8 - 20.

I did try the OPK thing but either I am not ovulating, I missed my surge, or it didn't work right; it was very cheap.

I will probably invest in a more expensive one this month if AF shows up.

I'm not sure yet what we're doing.
The first month we just winged it and this month I bought OPK's but I never got a + so I think I tested too early so we just BD everyday for about a week. If we don't get a BFP this month I'll buy them again and test earlier.

I was using the CBEFM, and I thank God that I spent the money to buy it. It's how I found out I wasn't ovulating. Chat Icon

Re: What method are you using to TTC?

My plan and my GYN's was to wing it for 6 months. Well, we got PG in the first month of trying. My doctor told me to come back in 6 months if I was still not PG, I came back in 3 weeks and I was.

Re: What method are you using to TTC?

We are taking the "if it happens, it happens" approach. I won't start to chart/temp/use OPKs until nothing has happened for about 6-7 months.
