New to TTC(ntnp)

My SO and I have decided that we are finally ready to have a child. Though it is something we want a lot, we are not rushing as we want to gather as many baby items as we can. We have decided to get my IUD removed and stop the pull out method, but we will only track my ovulation and skip the temping. I was wondering if anyone has conceived while not trying not preventing and how long it took, and if there are any tips on not feeling so anxious? We are going this route because we think actively trying may stress us but we still hope it won't take more than a year.
