do you have a plan for ttc or is it a case of when time comes just remove contraception?


i'm a big planner i love it so i have a plan heres mine.

jan: start diet (which is now girl diet)
feb: start opks and temps
march: stop eating breakfast
april: make sure i'm doing all girl diet things, cook a few meals for freezer incase of pg ( i get quite ill in pg)
may:remove coil at start of cycle, bd every day aleast once up till 3 days before ov.
june: if not pg carry on girl diet and 3 day cut off
july/aug: this is when i really want to get pg so i'm gonna reduce cut off to 1 day.
sept: cut off back to 2 days
dec: if not pg take away cut off and bd on ov too.

I dont really have a plan, we will just start making a point to have sex around O time come July, but we arent using anything to prevent pregnancy at this point either, other than BFing

This is my third cycle off BCPs. I started charting and temping this cycle so I'll have 2-3 cycles of charts to get to know my body better before TTC. I also started working out yesterday. I ran 1 1/2 miles which I know isn't much but man my body is hurting today!!!! I really want to lose weight these next few months and build up my stamina.
DH and I are booking a cruise this were for the beginning of May. It'll be our first trip away from G and our celebration vacation of starting TTC. I wanted one last vacation I could enjoy before I'm pregnant.
We plan to start TTC in May's cycle and sway pink with timing. I'll be cutting DH off 2-3 days prior to O.

oh i plan to temp too, im going to start next cycle

[Aillidh]

Temping/charting, probably going to stock up on OPK's the next time we TTC again. I'll have to come up with more of a plan when my DH returns from his job training. We'll have to plan accordingly because of DH's job (truck driver) he won't be home every night so we'll have to plan our TTC big pain in the butt.

Just plain BD'ing it around O time..if it doesn't happen in the first few months I'll probably buy OPK's.

[Memi]

Oh yea, I also bought a few OPKs last night bc ofthe previous thread on here.

I'm going to keep charting, but other than that nothing else unless we don't get pregnant after a few cycles.

[HappyHippy]

I already eat healthy and exercise, so good to go on that, but I will start taking a prenatal in the summer for TTC in August.

I am drinking red clover and red raspberry leaf tea and will continue that . I will probably start taking folic acid in June or July, other vitamins about may. I am charting and temping, use OPKs but thats for figuring out my body again. I dont know that I'll use them specifically for ttc unless my cycles are note making sense by then.

Megan - A cruise...what a fun way to kick off some baby making!!! Where are you going?

As for Josh and I - SEX SEX SEX, all the time!!!! Well not ALL the time. I hear its good to let a guy "rest up" about 1-2 days in between to generate a better supply in both quantity and quality of sperm. And like Megan mentioned, I might cut off Josh about 2 days before O...I'd really like a girl, but that's about the extent of my swaying effort.

Oh, and I am buying OPKs...if anything for the novelty of it, but I am interested in seeing the results and how it matches up with my current CM method.

We've never TTC'd before, with DD we were preventing (but soppliy about it), and with DS we figured I hadn't gotten AF back so we were probably safe (obviously we were so very, very wrong). So basic plan is sex with no protection for now...I'm guessing if he looks at me the right way I'll get pregnant.

I do plan to loose about 15lbs before I get pregnant. I only gained 20-ish with DD, but didn't loose it all before DS (had about 10lbs left), gained close to 30 with with him so I was up 40lbs by the time he was born. Fifteen more and I'm back where I was before getting pg the first time. I really just need to kick it up a notch at the gym and get back to a routine, I've got us eating much healthier now (we were junk food junkies).

Michelle, why are you going to stop eating breakfest? Just curious, I've never heard of anyone doing this as breakfest kick starts your metabolism for the day.

Im taking prenatals now, and charting my temp and using OPKs to try to figure out when I O. When we TTC we will probably be just making sure to BD a lot around O time. I will probably continue charting/using OPKs then too.

[I<3HelloKitty]

I need to get on the ball about taking prenatals. We want to TTC in July. I've been charting and using opks since I got my period back since we use fertility awareness for birth control and I wanted to get to know my cycles again before we ttc. We'll be trying to sway for a boy using timing. I may look into the boy diet, but I'm not sure.

[Shea131]

No real plans here. Ideally I hope to get pregnant while ntnp. If we don't, well then we will cross that bridge when we get there.
