When DH and I got pregnant the first time it was totally because I just had a super sex drive 3 days in a row and so we had sex all 3 days. I had been tracking how long my cycle was so afterwards I looked in my journal and realized we had just had sex on days 12, 13, and 14, but definitely wasn't trying to make sure that it happened. I'm really hoping that it will go that way again this time. I still get an extra sex drive about 1/2 way through my cycle and I'm just going to use that. I just can't see myself temping and taking O tests every month. That's just way too much work for me
We're just going to go with the flow over here. Anyone else?
Re: Anyone just "listening to their body?"
Been married since 2009.
Unicornuate Uterus (yes I menstruate glitter)
Several MCs
DD born 2013 (our miracle "you can't have babies" baby!)
It worked for me with DS1 however this time, it has not been so easy. My heart goes out to the ladies who have been TTC for months & months. For me, it has been a very humbling experience thus far. With that said, I agree with pp that I like to take my temp & use OPK's etc. so I at least have some idea what is going on with my body and to know if we have a chance. GL to you!
Ditto this >.<
Thats basically what we did when we got preg with DD. We just stopped using bc let nature take its course and it didn't take us long. I went off b/c in oct 2009 used condoms until jan 2010, BFP March 2010.
That being said it depends how quick you're hoping to get pregnant. If your not in a rush, I say just do your thing and see what happens.. if you don't get KU in 6 months or so, then maybe start charting etc.

Yep! That is exactly what I am doing. That is what I did to get KU with DD1 & DS2...happened for us cycle #1 with both LO's...will we be so blessed this go around? Maybe not. But I would rather go with the flow of the process then chart, temp and what not.
However, I am so glad to see how well charting works for other ladies! It's just NMS. It would stress me out beyond belief.
I could do it if I already had a child... I really want my first, so I'm all for watching my body like a hawk and doing anything and everything to help the process!
To each their own though, good luck!

This. My body plays tricks on me.
If I just listened to my body, I'd never have a kid! I'd never know that I don't ovulate (even though I have "af", which it really isnt), nor would I have known about the septum or endometriosis!
There is a reason there are medical professionals!
That would drive me crazy because how do you even know you are ovulating at all??
