#1 was w/ charting, OPKs, preseed... it took 5 months.
#2 was "lets just see what happens..." and it happened the first month.
CP 3/07 BFP 5/07 - Kylie born 2/08. BPF 2/09 - Alexandra born 10/09. TTC since 8/13 - diagnosed difficulty conceiving due to LP defect. Took vitamin B and Vitex Berry to help lengthen. BFP 2/14 - Missed M/C found at 8.5 weeks. D&C at 9w2d. Partial Molar Pregnancy. BFP 11/14
It was a complete accident. We'd been told that it would be very unlikely for us to conceive without some type of medical intervention and it happened anyway.
The first time we were charting to avoid and using condoms when I was fertile...hmm...that worked well. The second time, we just tossed the condoms and decided to see what happened. Though, since I had charted in the past, I was pretty certain of when I was fertile, so I'm sure that helped.
I wouldn't say I charted. I just have mittleschmerz and had a regular cycle, so I knew when I would/was ovulating, then we had sex every night 2 days before ovulation, sex the night I ovulated, and every night 2 days after ovulation. It worked the first month we tried.
I charted, used OPK's, took Clomid, had an ultrasound to check my eggs, used a trigger shot to make them release and had an IUI. On the 6th month of doing this (well I only took Clomid on the last 3 tries and the US and trigger I only did on the last try) we got the trio.

With DS I knew I was O-ing so I told DH we had to it. 2nd preg was the lets do it and see what happens. We will be trying for #3 after AF next month. I think we are just going to start doing it every other day after AF until I get KU.
It's super early, but I got two faint BFPs today so I guess I can participate! :-D
I voted other, but it would probably be closer to the charting option. I don't temp, but I do count days as I have pretty regular cycles. We also just had sex almost every day during cycle days 9-15 to cover our bases, and I also can feel cramping to help me know when ovulation occur. ?

D was charting & OPKs.
#2 was drunken sex and an "eh, if it happens, it happens" attitude. It happened!
I never charted - but I did do the thing where you have sex every other day after the last day of your period....
Not sure what it's called. Worked for us though!! LOL.
I charted and used opks for almost 2 years to TTA...then we did the same to TTC.
he put his P in my V.
DD was the "not trying/not preventing" baby.
DS was meant to be...I was on the mini pill AND we used condoms every.time.
Two failed IUIS, two rounds of IVF = 1 miracle baby and 3 frozens ready for later.
It took a team of professionals to get me pg. I was officially KU by a woman.
