I guess that is where we are as well. Ideally, I would like to wait until January-ish to start ttc actively but in the meantime I am not temping and just go by my CM as in indicator of fertility.

I think if you don't chart and temp reguarly anyway, then there is a difference, because while you are not using any form of birth control, you're not making a point to have well timed sex.
But for those that chart and temp even when you're not TTC, then there probably is no difference between "not preventing" and TTC, since there's no unawareness there. In this case, I think there's either preventing or there's trying.
We will be in this phase next week. I just got off BC and am going to be watching what my body does. We are not preventing but will not be charting or anything. If it happens, great, but we aren't counting on it due to my issues cycling.
Re: Not trying to NOT get preggers?
We will actively start trying after thanksgiving, I think.
