This is our first month TTC (when AF leaves!). I have kept track of my periods for years, but haven't done temping (have read TCOYF, though). I figure we'll just try without temping/charting for a few months and then move on to that if screwing like rabbits whenever doesn't work. ;)

Me. I didn't do it with me DD and don't plan on doing it now. I just stopped taking the pill in June. With DD I was pregnant by August. So I have already passed that without being preggers. I will give myself sometime before I consider charting. It just seems like so much extra work.

I don't chart either. I'm just too darn lazy to take that extra step in the morning. I've read TCOYF for NFP, and I feel that I know my body well enough that I don't have to chart. I've beeen doing this for seven years now, and the only time I've gotten pregnant (DS#2) was when we were actually trying. I just don't feel at this time that I need to chart :)

I tried to temp/chart for a couple of cycles. When I met with my doctor for a consultation (we are nearing the 1 year mark of TTC and she wanted us to know our options), she was less than interested in the temps/charts! She actually said the she did not recommend most women chart. Her reasons were:
1. It often makes a woman more stressed about TTC since they are having to do the temping daily
2. It is not very accurate
3. She told me to use the OPK instead

Now, this is just her opinion, but she is a well respected doctor and is actually pretty proactive in most things. I was relieved that she didn't want to me to chart, it is such a pain!
