How to do guys "not try" but still try?

Question

I am 8 months trying for baby#2. I would have never thought it would take this long. I got pregnant with my first the first month trying. After crying over a negative pregnancy test that last two days I just don't feel like my heart can handle this anymore. It's so hard and getting so difficult. I track using opk and bbt. How do you just throw it all away? Do you think not using OPKS and bbt will make it less stressful? Because I am constantly stressed and it's like all I think about. I think I need to just let it go and let it happen, mostly for my own sanity.

Answer

I didn't track anything other than what glow said was my predicted ovulation for this baby. No bbt, no opks, no cervical mucus. We also only had sex when we wanted to have sex, not on the days we "had to" kinda thing. It did take us longer to conceive but we weren't trying so I guess that's expected.

Answer

I didn’t track anything and accepted that I’d never have a baby and started to focus on myself then boom! Then when my daughter was 6 I started wanting another baby, tried for a year and nothing, my dr suggested I lose some weight since I wasn’t as heavy when I had my daughter so I lost 30lbs and returned and was put on 5 cycles of Clomid but didn’t conceive so I gave up again and decided I wasn’t meant to have another baby then boom! Got pregnant with my son then after having him I got on birth control and it affected me negatively so I got off, used condoms but ran out and thought there’s no way I’ll get pregnant anyway then boom! Here I am pregnant again and due in July 🙃

Answer

After 17 months I deleted all my apps. I took musinex during what I assumed was my fertile window. I didn't test and had my husband hide all my opks.

Answer

After two years of trying for my second, I used the last of my OPKs and didn’t order anymore. I knew roughly when I was ovulating based on my glow calendar and CM. I took down the pack n play in our room that had been up for 2+ years since my oldest used it, threw out the empty OPK bag, and was done. I was pregnant a few months later.

Answer

If you have normal cycles and tracking for a bit has already determined that you ovulate, then it is no longer needed because it adds unnecessary stress. That's exactly what my GYNO told me when I first started trying for my second.

Answer

With my first it happened first time trying. This is only the second month trying, the first month obviously didn’t work out, and I’m seriously considering not tracking anymore if it doesn’t happen this month. It every month is half anxiety and half dragging I will just let things happen on their own.

Answer

Doetest. Just have fun. And have a mindset, that it comes when it comes.

Answer

I did track mine at the beginning then I couldn't understand why I wasn't falling pregnant ,I spoke to a gynae nurse and she advised trying from cycle day 10 and not track it ovulation tests aren't always accurate, it turns out I was missing my ovulation.
