How do you stop trying?

Question

I hear stories of people who got pregnant because they "stopped trying". But how do you do that? Like, literally? How do you go from being super controlling, excited, hopeful, from tracking, temping, logging to nothing?
I want to do that. But I don't know how. My mind thinks about it 24/7.

Answer

I was pretty much obsessed with testing all of last year.. spent so much money, took tests every day, took them apart, used blood instead of urine 🤤. The I just stopped last October. I just completely stopped purchasing tests.  Than on Dec 3rd of last year I noticed I didn't get period and had to actually drive to Wal-Mart to get a test and that's when it was positive. Long story short, find one part whats driving you crazy and let it go

Answer

Have sex all the time, but stop tracking ovulation.

Answer

Stopped having sex on certain days, stopped testing, stopped stressing, stopped using opks/temps/checking cervical mucus etc. We didn't stress over the "omg I "might" be ovulating today so we gotta have sex alot" moments; my first we weren't trying for him he was an oops but our second we started trying in Feb and I stopped all of aug. My son and I went to visit my mom in another state for the month, came home sept 5th had sex for a few days(we missed each other lol)then stopped because my period was suppose to show the 9th. After my period I went to a doc found out I was pregnant Sept 29th, I got pregnant the 5th or 6th 4 days before my period!!.

Answer

I got controlling. Tracked most fertile days each month, positions, what to lay in after sex. None worked for 6 months. Had a break to sort my head out as I was due to start uni the next month... 2 months later I find out I'm 4 weeks pregnant after a missed period

Answer

Stop tracking and ask your mother/sisters what worked for them. After five months of trying I was shocked to learn my mum conceived on day 5 of her cycle. I'd been trying much later coz I was relying on ovulation tests. I decided to stop tracking everything, try earlier on my cycle and use my mucus as a guide and it worked!

Answer

I too was obsessed with trying really hard to get pregnant. Everyone was telling me to stop trying and stressing over it so much. Low and behold AS SOON as we stopped stressing over it I was pregnant. We just started enjoying sex more and thinking if it happens it happens. We didn't want BDing to only be about making a baby. I ended up miscarrying last month and pretty sure I'm pregnant again so the not trying thing works lol

Answer

I've gotten pregnant twice from not trying. You can be safe and still get pregnant. You can still use the pull out method and get pregnant. You could just have sex and not think about having a child, when you feel like you should give up and it'll happen. When you don't try, sometimes it just happens faster.
