Am I wrong

I am reading all these things of different things people are doing while TTC and I am nervous b/c I want to just and have a good time. I will not be temping or anything else for that matter. I am just going to figure out when I am ovulating and BD everyother day around that time.

Should I be temping? I dont even know what I should and should not be doing. I am so lost when I read what girls are drinking or eating and I am like

Not to mention I am really not in the best of shape, so now I am worried that I should be hitting the gym or something

Re: Am I wrong

There is no right or wrong - its personal preference.

some girls try on there on just when the time is right - others start using opks or other things from the start.

Personally, i started right off the bat temping so i good get a good idea of my cycle, knowing when I O etc. For me it was important to know that things were working ok since I am older (34) - and b/c we are older dont want to try for a while then wonder if we just werent hitting the right time etc.

But if your happy just - then do it - hopefully you'll be successfull and wont have to bother with temping etc.

good luck

Re: Am I wrong

there is no right or wrong but you cant be sure you are ovulating without temping. so if you go a few cycles and have all the signs of ovulation and getting all BFNs every cycle then you should start doing all that stuff. thats if you are young and have normal cycles. if you go even one cycle with abnormal length you should start temping and stuff so you can confirm ovulation. without ovulation you are just wasting your time since no baby can be made. i did that for like 4 months when i first started. now its been 15 months and I WISH i could have those four months back.

do what you feel is best for you.

I didnt want it to become a job, I wanted to have fun with it so I just counted days, checked my CM whenever I went to the bathroom and we BDed alot from CD10-22 -- it worked for us. And I didnt notice EWCM for 2 of the 3 times I got pregnant.

Re: Am I wrong

I have a good sense of my body and I know when I typically O.

That's all we use. Is my own timing. It worked for us when TTC our first baby so I assume it will work again this time.

I don't want to stress over it.

Do what works for you!
