If you're TTA - Come in!

BootsOrHearts · May 2012

We are TTA till after my surgery - 2-3 months at least which really sucks. We were super scared to DTD while I was pregnant, and frankly, I didn't have much interest anyway, but the last few days I've been super frisky. I think just because DH and I got to spent a lot of time together and really bonded over this whole nightmare.

Anyway my question is, what are you using as far as BC??? I really hate the thought of condoms. It will be a couple more weeks before we get the all-clear to do it, but I want to be prepared!

TTA here! I will be tracking CM and O signs (I get O pain, and know the range of days when I O so we will probably just not BD that week)

I just had this converstaion with my H last night, or this morning - I can't remember. I'll be charting to avoid. He refuses to go back to condoms so we'll be avoiding sex during anything that resembles my fertile window!

I am back on BCPs for a few months. My OB said that was fine and it is the easiest solution for me. Plus I love the clearer skin and diminished PMS symptoms.

Good call on the BCP - maybe I'll ask my doc about it since it's going to be a while. Maybe it will help regulate my cycles too, it did before.

BCP really screwed me up, so we will just use condoms. Which is really depressing, and will probably result in less sexy time while waiting our cycle before we can try again. DH is not excited, but I don't really want to chart or worry about it for a cycle or so.

Us! Waiting for the first AF post m/c. Since there is lots of bleeding still, BD hasn't even been a concern b/c DH is not into that. My betas this week were 16, so hoping they drop soon or I'll have another level next week if still bleeding.
We will use condoms to TTA when it comes to that. We used them for the whole year I BF my DS...couldn't use BCP's with BF and I didn't trust myself to use the mini-pill 100% correctly and it's not really great with effectiveness anyways.
We're used to condoms and it makes clean up a little easier KWIM?!

You couldn't pay me enough to go back on BCP! It took my body forever to adjust after getting off them. Currently we are charting to avoid. Safe to do while gathering data for the RE.

I agree with the other ladies. I am charting and checking my CM. We do use condoms during my possible O time, but then once I have O'd, we stop. It's not so bad since we don't have to use them all the time.

We're TTA til probably July but we're infertile so we're not planning on using any protection.

My RE doesn't want to start a medicated cycle til my second post-MC AF, but it would theoretically be ok if I got pregnant on my own now. It's just laughable that it would actually happen.

KacyChicago · May 2012

I temped the first two months we were TTA, but I can tell it's already stressing me out. I've gone back to just abstaining around the middle of the month when my cervical mucus shows up in full force. We HATE condoms, can't use them, no fun at all, so I would rather just engage in other types of activities during that time! Wink

So far, so good ... But I will be honest and say our pregnancy was an unplanned one, using this method. I'm just way less lax about it now, and won't chance the "pull and pray," so we just avoid actual intercourse. It's good though, because after the week, we're ready to tear each others clothes off again.

Condoms for us. We have been TTA for a year now. In january, we will be looking into dh getting "fixed". Probably not the answer you were looking for though.

I was on the pill for 2 months after my D&C. Finished up early this month to let my body get back to "normal", and now we're using condoms and pull & pray. Smile
