"Casually" TTC

[BigChiefThunderThighs]

TTC number 2, we've agreed to go ahead in a "let's just see whAt happens, no pressure" kind of way. so I'm casually charting my cycles with a fertility app, breezily checking my cervical mucous, nonchalantly scouring the conception board and definitely not compiling a list of names for dc2 .
What is so frustrating is that because I'm "casually" charting all of this I know exactly when my fertile window is and keep bloody missing it because I don't want to give the game away and look like baby crazed monster! Last month my carefully timed advances were thwarted by a five-aside groin strain. I think today was the day and was planning a seduction after dd's bedtime but he announced he was off to his brothers for a bank holiday drink.
This is lighthearted and is not a problem with communication in my marriage. I think he felt the pressure last time and I'm really trying to keep this as relaxed as possible (for him) but that's just not my style.

I'm in 2ww - not too hopeful about this cycle as we have only dtd twice in fertile week as I have an injury. Think I may have blown my casual cover by wanting to at all! Me (casually): 'it's fine. I'll just have to lie still and basically not move at all.' DH: 'So... Victorian sex?'

Haha, PallasCat! I'm sure all this totally casual, not at all timed sex is improving my creativity in seduction!

Awww congratulations to all with BFPs :)

Bah, AF with a vengeance! Roll on the next cycle.

Aww sorry to hear it spottedquoll - fx next time.

Bugger, spottedquoll

friend gave birth on friday night... feeling a little jealous. today is cd29 and still no af. and poas 2 days ago was bfn. feeling very odd though. extrwmely dizzy and actually just turned down cake!

When are you testing again Kitkat? Fx for you!

i dunno tbh ill give it a few more days i think. iv never had a really regulr cycle so not getting my hopes up yet

FX for you KitKat ... all about the willpower !

Good luck Kitkat!

KitKat it's not over until AF. FX for you x

good luck KitKat. Cant help but have nose on here and see how your all getting on.
Being 'Casual' definitely worked for me

Hope everyone gets their bfp very soon xx

Hello ladies
Can I join in please! I'm on cd18 and we are also 'casually' ttc dc3.
We have stopped using condoms and are seeing what happens along with me symptom spotting and tracking everything in an app

I had a bit of a funny moment earlier when dh said he had a bone to pick with me, when did I start taking the pill again if we were trying for another?! DH had found my packet of folic acid

still no af. had a bit of a pinkish smudge on the tissue when i went for a wee yesterday afternoon and this morning but nothing in knickers or anything. driving me insane

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining?
We are also trying the casual route this time (tried TTC last October but had to stop same month as I got a promotion and wanted to wait)
This month we started trying again, although not holding out much hope as we decided pretty late on so probably missed our week

Hi Dreaming and Irritated

KitKat how frustrating for you! I'd be going spare. When are you next thinking of testing?

I'm cd19 and 'feeling a bit funny'... wondering if I might test in a few days...

Hmmm I "casually" went to Portland to check my bloods for signs of ovulation today

haha how casual lndnmummy!

im not sure i last did one on monday but wasnt fmu. do have another first response one so may do one first thing. i hate being in limbo. i keep convincing myself im not pregnant then when af doesnt come i think either i must be or can she not hurry up so i can get on with th next cycle

I know kitkat, am a very casual, going with the flow kinda person;)

Ohhh good luck to everyone who is casually in the 2ww. How exciting!

OH just got back from his travels..but we had an argument...feel a bit weird now asking to DTD or even trying to show any willing LOL #stubbornme anyhow Ovia says today is my most fertile day...#awkward trying to work out how to approach it..

Hi all. Casually ttc here too as of... Well, this week! Casually bought some conceive plus from Amazon (highly recommend it to those that haven't tried. I'm sure it helped conceive dd so quickly) and am now on day 17. Couple more casual shags and then 2ww for me. Eek!

Hi DefinitelySometime, I shall check out your casual supplement recommendation.

Alice - what a nuisance! Swallow your pride and go all out for make up sex?!
