A question for all you preggos

We aren't TTC yet, but I am not taking BC. We are just pulling out. If we get pregnant before end of summer, that will be cool, but we aren't really trying yet.
So anyway, I am just kind of curious. If you don't mind my asking...how many of you were trying? Any of you like us, not trying, but not really preventing? Anyone completely surprised/shocked/unsure how it happened?

we were definitely trying. once i got my cycle back we decided we'd try on our own until December, then if we werent pregnant by O's b-day we'd go back for fertility treatments. we started using ovulation predictor strips in august...and got pregnant first try. so...we were trying, but we were still shocked
considering it took us three years to get pregnant the first time, and one month the second time...id say be prepared for a BFP if you are not actively preventing. seems like most of us are extra fertile right about now!
I hadn't gone back on birth control after DS and I was charting and preventing. We were going to seriously start TTC in December, but I was out of town for a few days for work in November and couldn't temp/chart for a while and I didn't really know where I was in my cycle when I got back. And that was the month that I got pregnant.
So it was really only a month early than we were planning for.

This has been our birth control for 10yrs (avoiding O days). My girls were both planned. So, if you are both disciplined enough, lol, it will work. If not, then a BFP won't really be a shock.

This is funny because I have been pretty sure that I have been ovulating, and when DH approached me last night, I told him that if we had sex I would end up pregnant. He kind of laughed it off. I kept insisting, so he can't say I didn't warn him.
We were trying but not very hard. I didn't use ovulation kits or temping- I usually know when I should be ovulating, my cycles are very regular. We started trying in June and if it had taken more than six months I would have started temping/charting. I honestly thought we'd have to try for a little while, never thought it would happen that fast. . Like I said, we started trying in June and I got my bfp at the end Aug/beginning Sept. O was a surprise and I had no other ttc predictors other than a healthy couple can take up to a year. So, I was still surprised we were lucky enough to concieve fairly soon after starting.
