Is it wrong?

Question

My husband and I want to start having kids and we have been actively trying. He wants to do it naturally...  not tracking when i am ovulating and let it happen when it happens. I saw this app and had it for about 3 weeks. I feel bad that I want to track to have a greater chance of conceiving. We only been trying for a few months but I'm ready to be a mom! So what is your thoughts....is it wrong that I am tracking and not telling my husband ?

Answer

I am over the stress and work it takes to track and get my hopes up. It's so devastating each month. So I am going back natural. Less stress more fun.

Answer

I'm doing the same thing and he does know I track it but he doesn't want to know what my ovulation days are so I don't tell him. He said he would rather be surprised. I keep track that way when we do get pregnant, i know what day we most likely conceived. I don't try a and push sex anymore on ovulation days than I do on normal days.

Answer

Personally, its SO much less stressful on me and my fiance since I've stopped tracking - we've been trying for about a year now, and I found this app about 9 months ago. Eventually, I started getting crazy, making sure we were intimate when I was ovulating, taking tests, buying HPTs and taking them even after my period had started. It put a huge strain on our relationship, because that's all I wanted. I wanted a baby, and I was willing to sacrifice our intimacy for a forced baby. But it didn't make me happy, nor him, and about a month ago I just quit. I come in here and track my period, but that's about it. And everything is so much more fun and spontanious, and if/when we do get pregnant, it'll be even more rewarding.

I'm not saying anything about the women who use this app religiously and test and whatnot, because good for them! Really, that's good for their life, and I'm happy that that's what works. I just felt better knowing I was not only making myself happy, but the father of my future baby as well. It'll happen when its supposed to. :)

Answer

Track your period using the app but don't go crazy with ovulation tests and things like that. The period tracking will also tell you when you're ovulating so you know when to get after a bit more. Thats a good compromise.

Answer

Well... I tried the route of not tracking.  I was off BC since January 2007.  We didn't conceive once. Started actively tracking about a year ago and now seeing a specialist.  For us the not tracking really did not work at all.  Of course if you do the BD every other day you might succeed. :). For us we had a decent sex life. About once or twice a week - for the most part.  But that wasn't enough to give us a baby.

Nothing is wrong with either of us - the RE tested both of us.  We just had really bad timing from 2007-2014.  What are the odds?!?

Answer

I use this app to help with calculating my fertile days and my period while we are ttc but I've told myself im not going to stress about it at the same time I tell my SO when the most important days to BD are but we don't let it interfere with our sex life altogether its nice to know your more important days but not obsess over it.  Good luck to you and baby dust:)

Answer

This app never predicted my fertile days correctly. So just know not to 100% trust it unless you are also using OPKs to know this is correct.
