To just NTNP, taking it easy, casually TTC, or "just relaxing"?
DH and I jumped in feet first to TTC #2, with charting, OPKing, preseed, mucinex, the whole nine yards basically. So as a result, even though we've only had two cycles to try, we're already kind of exhausted and discouraged.
I've toyed around with the idea of "taking it easy" in March or April...we'd still be trying but maybe take a break from charting and just kind of try to relax and have fun. I figure either of those months would be the month to try it b/c a December/January due date isn't our ideal (although it wasn't the first time around, and our son was born January 16 and it turned out great). But....I'm not sure I could ever really go back to being clueless about my body....I think I'd still be checking my CM and trying to figure out what was going on and it would probably just make me crazier . I just hate obsessing over every little thing...ugh.
Ha, I just forgot what a rollarcoaster ride TTC is....and I want off!

I tried taking it easy this cycle by only using my fertility monitor. And it totally backfired on me! I just decided this morning I'm going to stop using the FM for this cycle...I have had 12 days of high readings in a row and am on CD26 and my cycles range from 26-30 days. So, I will be picking up the BBT again in a few days!

I dont think i could go back to that. My first three pregnancies were unplanned and now im charting and analyzing everything it seems to have made getting pregnant impossible! I think i wouldnt be able to relax now and because i have learned so much about my body to just ignore it all and just go with the flow!

We're supposed to be ntnp.. but I'm still charting! lol

For right now, its neat and I like doing it.. so no I can't see going back to ntnp. I'm trying to not go overboard though!

Well, I'm just coming back from "relaxing." We've been at this for awhile, so I needed a break. The last two months, I decided to not use OPKs and last month I tried not temping. I started temping the last week, but I pretty much knew where I was in my cycle because of my CM (that's something that I just couldn't ignore, kwim?) It actually was nice to have a break and to not worry about temping, especially at the same time every morniing. I did come back to OPK's, but I only had to take 3 this month before I got a positive one. I did go back to temping, but I'm not as strict with it on the weekends since I want to sleep in as much as possible

I don't think I could. I've taken it easy on temping during AF and on wkds though....unless it's close to O time. It is kinda stressful, but I think I'd be more stressed out not doing it now b/c I've been doing it (does that make sense? ).
