EWCM? BBT? OPK? WTF?! We’re just not using contraception!

[frakkinaround]

So a slightly lighter and less scary thread for those who are chucking away the pills and the condoms and hoping for the best!

Nope, stay strong girls!! It's just shagging remember, it's supposed to be fun! I'm going to try and get to 6 months of 'relaxed trying' out of the way before doing any overtly scientific planning. I'm going to try and read up on some of the science behind it, so i know what might be going on, but I have NO intention or involving thermometers or charts just yet. Whether I manage it or not is another matter...

PS BB, fellow shirker-from-home by any chance?!

I did experiment with the mucus stuff on my fingers but as I didn't know what I was actually looking for I think it was really more of a pre shag private fumble ;-)

Lol @ pipistrello!

I feel so young - am only 23 but we want to have children while we can survive on 1 salary (the Forces are good for some things) and I have about as much chance of having a career as an iceberg does of surviving in hell.

All you need to know re: science is you shag lots and if you have a period then you're not pregnant. I don't want to see anyone using a first response!

(Except me with my stash in the cupboard)

Lol @ pipistrello!!

I also have no clue about mucus and temps etc etc
Been ttc for about 7 months, adopted the "relaxed approach" for about 2 months and then got sucked into all the ov kits etc - so far has really just been an expensive way of discovering whether or not I'll get a period each month!!

30 Yep a home worker sometimes. But yesterday I was actally slaving skiving in the office!

Yes, just shagging! That's our moto!

And you know reading up on things is the beginning of the end!!

or it will be, just as soon as I've a) had a period, b) distracted my DH (condom? What condom? focus on the naked woman over here!) c) managed to stop hyperventilating at the thought of deliberately trying to get knocked up...!

How come you need to wait for your period, 30 ? Or did I miss something upthread?

PS You can disguise the hyperventilation as extreme passion as an extra way to distract him from the lack of condom.

Ha ha pipstrello, glad to see I'm not the only one suspecting early menopause whenever I'm a few hours late. I thought I was a rational person until I started ttc. Turns out I'm loopy as they come. My MN-ing is also currently secret from DH - he would say it's bad for me. Yeah right, like Fifa 10 doesn't rot your brain.

Anyway, period ended today so it's back on the non-alcoholic wine and back on the wagon!

Ha ha, pipistrello like your thinking! In fact was planning some majorly distracting tactics - time to break out the good underwear methinks!

Just waiting for first proper post-Pill period, then I guess it's all systems go over here. God, that's proper grown up that is.

hi can in join in.
came off the pill jan and had a heavy withdrawal bleed then had a normal period feb so consider we started ttc march.
im 32 already and have a dd 2.8 so hoping im pregnant 2010 so age gap isnt too huge.
no testing/ov sticks, just seeing how it goes, for now

Welcome, then! Did you do mucus and testing kits first time round? Or were you a just shagging credit to the thread?

Morning All. Another day another dollar!

I am indeed an idiot! I POAS yesterday. BFN of course. Heaven knows why! Well, chatting with a friend she convinced me that no period return doesn't necesarily mean no pg. Stooopid. So I flushed £4.5 downn the loo.

Although I was true to the moto a fair bit this weekend

Hey-ho.

Ah no, bb ! Were you disappointed?

pipistrello, no i didnt use any testing last time but i fell pregnant in 2 months so i was very lucky!
im trying not to even think about cycle or anything.

Pipi I banged my head for being a prime idiot! Yes I was disappointed, but a BFP would have scared me sily too!

ooooo can I join brings biscuits and pastry

after all... we might be eating for two (very soon)

DP and I discussed trying at great lengths, decided to wait a few months, till end of summer, August time before binning the condoms, except this weekend he took it upon himself to ignore his own decision completely :D

Any hoo.... we're just taking it how it comes.

We have one DD, she's 3

Im really excited, but dont want to start getting carried away.

Keep me grounded girls....

Just keep shagging :D

Hi OnlyWantsOne - name changing soon?

Anyone else got 'Just keep shagging' to the 'Just keep swimming' song from Finding Nemo in their head.....?

Betya have now!

PS, who else here is going for their first?

why would I change my name?

Sorry... I assumed - clearly wrongly - that your name referred to only wanting one PFB, and you have one, and now you're trying for another... And I'm an idiot!

hahahaha no, that doesn't mean that!!!!

Dont worry - stay and talk to me, im very bored and searching for hotels for my dirty weekend away in a few weeks

Phew!

OOh, I love booking holidays and things! Whereabouts you off to? Is this a TTC dirty weekend or a birthday/anniversary/you're OWED ONE weekend!

uh, more of a looking at the area with the prospect of moving there...

Bristol

so are you TTC your 1st?
