We started with the "whatever happens, happens" method. So, far the only change we've made is that I monitor my CM and AF

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
I used OPKs for 3 months before TTC so that I had an idea as to when I O'd each month. Got pg our 1st month trying (using just OPKs).

CM means Cervical Mucus (I know, it sounds so feminine). Usually you get more CM on the day, or days around, the time that you O (ovulate). You need CM in order for the sperm to live and swim up to the egg.

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
We tried our first month using OPK's. I never understand when people say using OPK's would be stressful...to me it took all the guesswork out of it. We got pregnant after 1 cycle multiple times. I have other issues ...

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
This is my second month TTC and I went out and got an OPK.. I wish I had the whatever happens happens outlook-but I do not have that outlook with anything!!!! I'm obbsessive compulsive, first wedding planning now this!!! I really hope the Lord makes this a easy process for me-b/c no matter what it is in Gods hands (regardless of OPK's and all)

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
This is our first month. I'm going to use OPKs just to see what happens. If I have too much trouble interpreting the lines, then I probably won't use them next month. I'm generally pretty good at knowing when I ovulate anyway. We're basically just going to have a lot of sex & hope for the best.

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
I was charting as birth control (went off pill in December 05 and didn't start TTC til September 06) so I knew my cycle. We added OPKs/Pre-seed and all the "tricks" after about 4 months of no success.
After I miscarried I used OPKs immediately.

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
The first month, it was "whatever happens, happens". However, then it clicked that I was older than most and should track my ovulation, so I used OPKs by month 2 or so.

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
When we started it was whatever happens, happens. I didnt have much faith in my body b/c I am incredably irregular. I did chart to give me an idea of when I ovulated. We got pregnant right away.
Sadly at 7 weeks I m/c. It took 40 days for AF to show since the m/c. I have no idea what my body is doing and this is our first month of TTC since the m/c. We pretty much are doing whatever happens - happens. I again just dont have faith in my body.
If it doesnt happen this month then I am going to start tracking and using OPK.

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
the first month was "whatever happens" but after AF arriving that month, we realized how much we wanted to get pregnant. last month (our 2nd month) we started using OPKs, and now we're in month 3, also using OPKs (now 6 dpo, so we'll see soon enough!)

Re: When you first started to try...(poll)
I took a very scientific approach. I found it kind of fascinating to know when I was ovulating, etc.
eta: I charted, temped, used preseed, etc....
