TTC: what method did you use? - Trying to Conceive

04-23-2007, 05:06 PM

I've seen a lot of pregnant ladies lately, and some who get pregnant very soon after DH's return from deployment. What method did you use to track your ovulation, or did you do anything at all? It just happens so quickly for some, but my DH lived together without any form of BC for over a year and nothing happened for us. What worked for you? TIA!

With all 3 of ours it just happened. The first two were planned and we were pregnant very quickly our last was a surprise and I would say hers was pretty quick too.

With the first 3 we just had sex, and it happened within a month.

With #4, we timed it just right so I would get pregnant right before he deployed and be due when his shore duty rotation started. I went off the pill so I only had a month to figure out when I was going to ovulate before he left. I used those ovulation predictor tests.

Fortunately for us, it worked!! I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after he left and she was born about 2 months into shore duty.
