Lol. I love your clicky polls.

This one was somewhat of an accident-more of a we want 2-3 years between the kids so whatever happens happens type of deal. The first one was more planned-I paid attention to my cycles but that was all.

Hahah I love it! We were just good ol' sex but I wish it was in a Tercell so I could embarrass my kid later! Ha

SS!

I was with my RE for both and on metformin. I also charted and did OPKs as he suggested. Alcohol was also involved.

We get pregnant the second we have no protection...

courty625

These are the best! I was keeping track, but to make sure we didn't get pregnant before we went to Vegas. Whoops, found out a week after we got back I was KU.

I almost LOLed at the title. I was about to say something completely stupid like SEX duh! And then my actual brain kicked in... this is why I have to pause before I answer questions!

LOL

Is it bad that the last option most resembled our situation? Oops.

You forgot one option, Grace: "The first month we tried natural family planning"- I would have clicked that option lol

Ha! That's right. That's the old joke, "Q: What do you call a woman who relies on NFP to avoid pregnancy? A: Mom."

I kept track of my cycle, but I never charted temps or anything like that. The only reason I got some OPKs was because we really wanted to make sure I was KU and on schedule to have the baby in June so I would have the summer off with the baby but not have to miss much work (I'm a teacher). It worked out as planned.

Good old charting and temperature check, along with OPKs.

It worked with DS (got preg in 1 month), worked again with my m/c pregnancy and again with LO.

We really got lucky.

We were going to start trying in October. In September, my little brother went missing for a few weeks, (Long story, but he's A-OK!) and we had a lot of sex, because that was the only way I could keep my mind off of what was happening ... I knew we hit my fertile window, but in no way thought I would get pregnant the first month we "tried." So here I am, plus-size and 36, and a major success-after-loss story. My doctor said she'd never been prouder. Ha.

Charting, OPK's and pineapple core!

RedCherry1109

My first two pregnancies was "it happens when it happens" and it took about 1-2 years to get pregnant and the same with my M/C. After t it happened, I started to chart, temp and OPKs...we got pregnant one month later.

adeller11

Mine is a mixture!!! I was temping and charting, but it was to AVOID pregnancy. No alcohol involved...just miscalculation I suppose. Ooops!!!

Lot and lots of drugs.  Here's a picture of my embabies (one of whom became Gizmo):

smithm24

Lots and lots of make up sex. Lots.

Faith7

I used old fashioned BBT charting and OPKs. But I couldn't click two.

Mommy2CB

We did charting and OPKs, same with our first. I'm too OCD to just see what happens...It would take too long and I'm way too impatient. Even with perfect timing with confirmed ovulation it takes a few months.

kimberly_ann81

I did both the ovulation kit and my temperature; first time doing both and now Peanut is coming.

 DS: Random having fun/newlywed sex.  Five months married and then surprise! 

emolm

I'm a special snowflake.

I have super regular cycles and track cervical mucus as my backup to double check so I knew I was ovulating soon and yanked my paragard out for a predeployment baby.

Beautiful!  I was thinking yesterday how I am so excited to see (at tomorrow's ultrasound) how my 4AA blastocyst has changed!

 Our story is very romantic, too.  My embryo transfer was at 5:30 am, so I had to leave the house at 5.  My son was sick, like vomiting sick and woke up at 4 am.  My husband had to give his "contribution" between 4:30 and 5.  It was a circus with me cleaning up puke sheets and my husband in the other room watching porn. 

I got to the clinic and told my doctor that this IVF attempt would be the one that worked.  It did!  We still laugh . . . this kid really wanted to be here!

love these, grace

Love the clickys

And mine was conceived on my 30th birthday lol  That's special. I woke up the next day and was harshly reminded that I am not 21 anymore

Miller High Life, because only "the champagne of beers" would be classy enough for our child.  No Tercel.

Luthy

This time it was temping/charting, but the first pregnancy (which we lost) was pretty much the last option. Maybe it would have been quicker the second time if we had remembered the booze!
