“Stop trying so hard” to get pregnant?

Question

I always hear “I got pregnant right when we stopped trying” but I don’t understand how that works. Is it a mindset thing? Not <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">tracking ovulation</a>? I’ve been told “just don’t try so hard and it’ll happen”.. but how do I do that?

Thoughts?

Answer

It’s a stress thing.

Answer

Everyone says the same to me as well but I just don’t know how to stop thinking about it! I stopped tracking ovulation and just had sex when we wanted for a couple of months but still nothing happened. I just don’t understand how people can stop thinking about something so exciting and something you long for so much?!

Answer

That’s so true tho me and my hubby just had fun with sex for a whole month not even thinking about pregnancy and boom I tested when I was 7 days late here I am 23 weeks and one day pregnant

Answer

You have to keep yourself busy and focus on other things in life. Enjoy being with your partner each and every time make it fun! After 5 years of me ttc  boom I got pregnant with my first baby and didn't even know until I was 6weeks and 2 days, that's how busy I was on other things that I didn't realize. Today I am now 19 weeks and 2 days! So I believe it works when you stop trying. Good luck.

Answer

I got pregnant from my 5th IUI. I heard that constantly, but how do you just stop tracking your period and stuff? I think what helped me was that at that point I was so used to the tests and procedure that I probably wasn’t stressing/thinking about it too much and I was planning a vacation so that helped distract me. But it’s not like you can just turn off a switch. Maybe try to get into a routine that makes you comfortable, like special date nights around your fertile week and stuff so it’s not a chore/stressful situation? Idk I obviously needed help too so I totally get how frustrating it is when people try to help with useless advise. It’ll happen tho! Baby dust!

Answer

Seriously have no clue 🤷🏽‍♀️ this month my “not trying so hard” was going on vacation during ovulation, not tracking my BBT, and allowing myself to actually have a few drinks on vacation 🤞🏽 that was enough!
Let me know if you find the “not trying” secret

Answer

I think if you are highly stressing about it then I can see how not trying helps. But frankly my husband and I haven't put too much effort into trying these last couple of months and that hasn't helped us.

Answer

Just be happy to have unprotected sex with your man! I was trying really helped with our first that it turned my husband off, after he told me to just let it be and fo with it, I realize I need to put my husband first and make sure he feels wanted and not wanted for a baby. So I relaxed and we had fun, and Bam! Baby

Answer

This probably works better for people who don't work 9-5mon-fri jobs, but I basically just banned myself from looking at the calendar from when my period started, and put my hubby in charge of putting my menstrual cup in my handbag when I was close to af, my handbag is a mess so I would never find it unless I was looking for it. 
This meant that I had nothing to stress over as I had no clue when ovulation/af were due and I got a positive test the day af was due after my hubby said it was due.

Answer

I don’t know how it works but it worked for me.
We were moving house so I packed all my ovulation strips and pregnancy tests in a box and stopped thinking about it and focussed on the house. Didn’t even check my app until my husband asked whether I was late on my period.
