The Not Trying To Not Get Pregnant Thread

[Laranna]

Yep, that's us. With my endo history, we always expected we'd need IVF but DS was conceived naturally. I always felt that was a fluke so we didn't bother with contraception and left it to chance. I fell pregnant with DD when DS was 11 months.

DD is almost 14 months now and absolutely no sign of AF (breastfeeding twice overnight still and around 4 times a day). We are leaving it up to chance again. I've done a few HPT's just to check but nothing yet.

Yep....me to!.......I am a bit superstitious though! You know when 'if you even start looking up when your last period was you think you just put a hex on the whole thing!'

HeK- my man is always out on the farm while I am in town so we don't get that much of a chance!....No different from having a hubby thats a truck driver!!!!! ....they just normally are not around when the egg is! LOL

lol Mejane, that's us...mine works 300kms away and is only home for the night every 6weeks or so (unless he brings a prisoner to town and then I'm usually in no mood for anything when he rocks up at 4am ).

I don't know how you girls do it. I've got a very high libido and hate it when my DH is away for more than a night or two. I've got itches that need to be scratched! Hmm...might get me in trouble using this method TBH, might have to be a one off, LOL.

This is me too, its been a year next month that we have been not, not trying! LOL.

Before getting PG with DS we were doing the same thing, not "actively" trying...I fell 18 months later, then MC at 9-10 wks, after that i WAS DETERMINED! took 6 months but we got PG with DS.

After all the stress and head bull**** of trying desperately to get PG last time (after MC) I absolutely refuse to go back there. I dont need the stress.

My ex and I did this for pretty much the whole time we were together and I fell pregnant pretty much every 2 years.

First was in 2001.
Second in 2003.
Briley in 2005.

Colby was concieved in 2006 but I was trying to fall pregnant with her. Given the space in between all the other pregnancies I had thought it would take some time to fall pregnant again. This wasnt the case and she was conceived when Briley was just shy of 4 months.

I was again 'playing with fire' since having the Mirena taken out in 2009 and fell pregnant in April last year.

So I am guessing that for me, when there isnt a contraceptive in play I fall pregnant every 2 years when doing the whole 'trying but not trying' thingo.
