Why are you NTNP instead of TTC?

Because DH wants to be more settled. We're in the middle of house hunting and we both need to get our health in order.

Because it is less stressful & until l can afford a doctor to get things moving more aggressively....but til then maybe a miracle will happen for me.

Because I don't want to stress out my DH or make this into something un-fun. I think the worst thing I could do for our relationship is turn sex into a chore.

That said, since I chart ANYWAY, I know when I'm fertile and I would be lying if I said I won't be trying to make extra sure we get some sex in during that time. But that's about it.

We are NTNP because it is less stressful. When we were TTC Harleigh, it became a chore and so I was so stressed. Once we kind of took a step back and decided if it happens it happens, well we got pregnant the next month.

We started ntnp after four micscarriages and six failed rounds of clomid (two with IUI, three with trigger). It got to be too stressful. Also, with as bad as I *want* a baby, I can't bring myself to prevent. (Plus prevent for us means condoms or vasectomy.)

I definitely want a 4th, however DH is more worried about the logisitcs and finances of a 4th. But after a bit of a scare last month (for him, LOL) in thinking we may have caught the egg (turns out I counted my days wrong and we missed it by a day), we decided it was in God's hands. We will gladly welcome a 4th if that is God's will! Plus, we actively TTC'd all three of our boys and it sort of took the fun out of it. Now, if it happens, it happens!

well (hiya I am a newbie to this board but not JM) I decided I may fit into this board more so then the TTC since I don't really do anything to actively TTC (no charting etc...) I am officially off the pill as of last night (my period is due to come this week and we have decided for me to not to go get my next pack). So although we don't necessarily want it to happen this first month we are ok with it happening from September on out......with my first daughter (from first marriage) I went off the pill an WHAM was pregnant before I could even get a post pill period! With Lainey my 2010 baby it took us 3 months from time I went off the pill (again didn't really try besides kinda trying to do it more around suspected ovulation time).

He doesn't feel totally up for it right now. He is scared of money and wants us to pay off the small amounts of bills we have before we have a child. But we have both said if it happens we will welcome it fully.... Sept I WANT it lol
