Re: CPW: TTC Techniques

  • I still temp even though I'm doing medicated cycles. It gives me a better idea of when the b*tch will eventually show.

    "I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you.  I know you're bitter.  I get it.  But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
  • I did temping plus OPKs.
    Then medicated TI, IUI, and IVF (no temping or OPKs).

  • CM plus OPK

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
  • I forgot CM!
    We used to do Temping & OPK's, now that I O pretty much the same time I started using just OPK's. After last night we decided to take a break from the whole method using business and just have sex whenever and wherever.
    So right now nothing.

  • I am still technically TTA (well except this month which has become NTNP), but I have just been charting CM and symptoms. I tried OPKs at the beginning of this cycle, but I got like 3-4 days of positives then gave up, as I've been told by a few ladies, my PCOS may be causing false positives...So no more OPKs for me, and temping is out of the question right now.

  • We're TTA right now, but I do temping and OPK's.  Does it count that I also do the PCOS/GF diet and just started the B Complex vitamin?

  • @sewilson33 The original plan was to wait until next year to TTC#2, but for whatever reason DH decided he didn't feel like TTA this month. I doubt we had good timing though, my body is so screwed up this cycle..I'll be POAS like a crazy person anyway though. Lol

  • Medicated (few and far between, unfortunately) and temping.

    Currently just checking CM and OPKs I hate temping. It never worked for me.

    ETA: I'm not sure if I will O on my own or not now, so when we move from NNT to TTC I might temp for a cycle
  • you forgot rolling in the wet spot.
  • I temped religiously, and use OPKs a handful of cycles. And tried to at least be somewhat aware of my CM. 

    Even when we're TTA I'll temp; my cycles are just too uncertain, and I really like knowing approximately when to expect AF.
