How Did YOU Get Pregnant?!

Okay okay so...duh you had sex and then a couple weeks later your boobs were hurting and you took a test...BUT the month you actually did conceive were you trying...were you charting...did you use OPKs...all that good stuff. This month we've decided to actually stop trying...we're not gonna start trying again until the summer is over...but we're also not preventing...so I wanna know how many of you got pregnant on a break? Already it is so relaxing for us to not have to think that I will be ovulating on so and so date and we NEED to have sex on specific days.

I bought those ovulating tests and did it every single day that I was ovulating, for about a week or so! And it worked the first month we tried!

my bff was doing all that stuff. she took a "break" at the beginning of january. she was pregnant with in a couple weeks. she had been "trying" for 3 years...

the only one we actually tried for was our second...we were ttc for 7 months..with ovulation kits and checking cm...well it didn't work so we decided to stop ttc for a while, well the next month i was sure i was ovulating and i told him that and he laughed and thought i was crazy, that was on march 22...well on april 22 i was feeling funny so i went to the clinic and i was def preggo...on april 27 i was having stomach pain so i went to the er, everything was fine..they did an u/s and some type of blood work to see how far along i was ..i was 5 wks and 1 day..it went back to march 22!!...and i had a due date of december 27..well that is also when i had her!!

the first time, we got married& immediately started trying - We started trying March 24, i got a positive April 22nd.

The second time, well -.- he had started kicking me out of the house & stupid stuff, and I told him I didn't know if I was going to stay or leave (but I still loved him so we still 'made love') and he decided on his own, that it would help if he got me pregnant - July 11, 12, and 13. I found out for sure I was preggo with my sweet little angel on August 10th

we were on a break from trying. and i ended up prego..lol its funny how things work themselves out sometimes.

I met my husband May 1st of 2007, had our first date on the 11th, then found out (after many drunken sex nights) on the 31st the we were expecting. We decided to work it out for our child's sake. Anyway, we weren't trying but we weren't preventing it, either - I always used a diaphram and spermacide, which always worked - except of course while intoxicated. Imagine that! HAHA!

And as far as conceiving, you have a better chance of conceiving either 2 days before you ovulate or when you actually ovulate because sperm can stay inside of you for 24-48 hours. If your cycles are 25 days, then you will most likely ovulate around the 12th or 13th day after the beginning of your last menstral cycle.

Ofcourse the sex comes first. ;]
We thought my fiance's sperm was S.O.L so we really didn't think we could conceive. Him and his ex wife tried for two years and they always said it was Brian, my fiance's fault. We tried to conceive but it just wasn't happening, then we stopped for a month to see if that was any help. Well 3 1/2 months into our engagement and we've got a beautiful bouncing bundle of joy on the way. :]
I am so very excited. Oh and he's excited his spermies aren't broke. hehe

I started BC only a few days before my hubby got back from Afghanistan so duh, that so totally failed..

We decided to not prevent anything happening when we decided we'd like another child and 2 weeks later we found out we were pregnant again..

Then this last time I went off BC cause it was making me feel like crap and we were using condoms but one night the hubby felt a little TOO spontaneous.. I reminded him about the lack of BC but he still wanted to throw caution to the wind so, lol, I know the very date we conceived on that one haha

My husband and I started TTC last may/june.Only two months we tried the ovulating tests and they didnt work so we started guessing the times to BD. But in October we got disgouraged and gave up. November we werent trying, but in December I was waiting for AFand it didnt show up. But my cycles werent totally normal either because I was still nursing. So finally I think I was 2-3 days late I decided to test and it was in no doubt positive. So we laugh to this day after trying for a few mths and then giving up we become pregnant.

Me too...although we didn't buy a kit until the third month. That third month though I got pregnant. It really worked! Oh, and I was way off on when I thought I was ovulating (3 weeks, not 2, from last period).

It was funny because i was barely 18 and Mikito and I were trying to have a baby. I know stupid choice. I was dumb for that but i thought i was pregnant because my period came late so i went to a plan parenthood they have out here and when i was taking a pee i started my period. So i was like i know im not pregnant so i left. So after my period was done i went to this thing my friend was having it was a basketball thing and i went to help out. So i go and this guy is there and we knew each other from before and my boyfriend didnt want me talking to him because he knew that this guy had a big crush on me. So me and that guy are talking and he told me he was leaving and wanted a hug. I didnt think a huge would hurt anyone so i huged him. He grabed me and kissed me so i push him off and walk away. I was so mad i just called my boyfriend and broke up with him because i felt like i cheated on him and he wanted to know why i wouldnt talk to him. So he went to the basketball thing to get me. We talked about everything and i told him whats happend and he freaked out he started yelling, hitting things and then he would get quiet. I thought we were over for good then he told me he loved me so much he cant be without me and we drove somewhere and we had sex in his truck. When we were doing it he said "Im going to get you pregnant" i said no and pulled out but he didnt and we find out like 6 weeks later i was pregnant and that was the happiest day of his life.

lol...when we found out I was pregnant my husband yelled out "My boys can swim!!"....lol.

The more I think of it...with both of them we either weren't trying or had totally given up and it just happened. I always roll my eyes to the ladies who advise it, but there IS a lot of good to it. Although, in my experience, it doesn't happen the FIRST month on a break (more like the 2nd or 3rd), because you don't totally mean it the first month and are so used to ttc. Good luck!!!!

Haha...that's how I feel...we know we're on a break but I know I'll still be very alert to my ovulating days though I keep telling myself it cannot be that way!
