"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.

going insane!! only slightly spotting so cant tell whether it is af or not!!

Can I join you guys? Off the patch since Jan 15 and have been "seeing how it goes" since then... Or so he thinks! Not been doing a whole pile but have had several pos moments that he doesn't know about and an unhealthy relationship with ovulation sticks. Don't want to get too serious and freak him out but it feels like all my friends and family are getting pregnant at the drop of a hat and it's not just happening that quick for us.... Baby dust to all xxx

So I casually partook in a little bit of knicker watching -and fanny rootling- and it would seem that AF has decided to visit 4 days early. Or is it, just casually thought I'd mention it, implantation?

Strike out fail

Thank you Dreamy LOL Winky. Mine also seemed to be early. Been feeling really unwell with AF this month . Anyone else have really rough patches with it? Never felt this ill with AF before so wondering if your body notices you are TTC ING. .. (sounds like a stupid question)

I totally reckon it knows! We had a brief period of ttc last year before a move and new jobs got in the way, and my usually fairly regular 30-31 day cycle dropped instantly to 23-28 days.

Hello please can I join? I'm 35, one ds aged nine conceived through fling. Doesn't see his dad. Got together with my friend of a few years, a few months ago. Both really want a a baby, he has none. Early days but I know him really well and don't want to hang about at my age, don't know how long it will take. We just started not using contraception on Saturday, just shagging and trying "causally" but I have already started working out my most fertile time etc! Hello and good luck to everyone! X

I will not test until AF is late. I will not test until AF is late....

Neg test yesterday but all spotting stopped. MUST. NOT. GET. EXCITED.

Hi guys! Sorry I've not abandoned ship- just been mega busy! Dh was delighted with the news - I just blurted it out, there was no big reveal!
Welcome newbies! Winky I'm laughing at your casual fanny rootling
I've very casually downloaded a couple of pregnancy apps, so the casualness continues

Oh and I'm still POAS each morning - just to check its still there - sooo casual

hahaha very casual bigchief!!!
glad dh was excited!!

i had another neg test yesterday but spotted ever so slightly sun and mon mornings and thats been it still no sign of af so no idea whats going on!!
if af hasnt arrived by this weekend gonna poas again cos im supposed to be going out drinking sat night!

That's rubbish kitkat - the uncertainty is so frustrating, fingers crossed for you!

Bigchief- so happy for you!

I ever so casually bought some pregnancy tests and preg vitamins today. So casual!

Kit and winky good luck!

Also what does af stand for? X

Hi Soozey, af is aunt flo(w).

I ever so casually pulled out the instructions for the test in my drawer to see how early I could use it.

Can I join?

Have two dc's, been on the pill since youngest causally waiting for af as she's not said hello said hello for a while no idea what day I'm on as its been all over the place since coming off the pill.

Congrats on the bfp

Hello all, can I join? "casually" ttc #2 here, had an early and light AF last week, very casually without my DP knowledge ended up poas 3 times to check if it meant IB. suuuuuper casual. all BFN ... roll on ttc cycle #3

Weird spotting again. Damn.

I've been off coffee too which is unusual but it may just be my tonsillitis I expect.

Spotting here on cd23 so that's probably it for me this cycle.

I never spot pre-period. It's because it knows. GGGRR!

ovia doesnt like me haha. it thought i had a 21 day cycle... im currently on cd24 n it cant seem to figure out when iv been fertile lol! it says poas again tomorrow but is there any point if i dif one yesterday?

AF due today. Had been casually kidding myself that the bigger boobs and general feeling of off ness was because I was pg but today I have definite premenstrual symptoms so think it's on the way.

I'm casually out for this month now. :'(

Oh boo winky. :(

I'm going to be casually poas tomorrow if af doesn't turn up properly. My internet cheapy tests have arrived so it would be rude not to, right?

Very rude not too! In fact, I insist. After all, if I'm not going to be able to do it, you're almost obliged to do it.
