If you were charting when you got pg

[pinotgrig]

How many cycles did it take?

And also lol that my phone autocorrected "charting" to "chatting" in the title.

[whitemerlot]

4, 6, and 1. I charted a couple months in advance each time.

[Muddled]

You don't want to know.

We needed help.

[dcn]

Two. And then this time I was charting to avoid. Obviously that didn't work out as planned.

[ginkgoleaf]

2 the first time, I charted for about a year before TTC.

Waaaaay longer the second time. Took 21 months total but. Stopped charging for some cycles with the RE.

[vmars]

I got pregnant on the 4th cycle of charting. That cycle I used the advanced clear blue digital opks.

[ladygrey]

2 and 1

[meggers]

Yes. I charted for three months before we starting trying to conceive. It took six cycles of trying.

[vtdiamond]

8 cycles

[simpsongal]

#1: 6 cycles

#2: 7 and counting....

ETA: I'm always shocked at the number of people that get pregnant so easily  - it really puts that "20% chance of conceiving" number into perspective, like it's probably 5% for me and 50% for a lot of people....

[bowies]

We definitely chatted while getting pregnant.

I charted 2 months, but the first one I didn't do temps. I should probably start doing this again since my cycles are very different now.

[estrellita]

11 trying, 12 overall. First cycle I wasn't temping but still attempted to track other things.

[shelbyann]

6 or 7 the first time (3 of which were early MC). 3 the second time, although I wasn't temping, just charting CM.

[preppy]

13 cycles

I got pregnant on my 2nd month charting.

[Velar Fricative]

Another "charting to avoid" situation here, so 1 cycle I guess.

[karinothing]

1 cycle all 3 times.

[thebreakfastclub]

14 cycles. I started all of the preliminary fertility testing at a year. I got pregnant the first cycle with good timing after my HSG, which is not uncommon.

[numbers]

I charted to avoid for a few months, then got pregnant 4 times in 1 year while charting + TTC. So, a handful of cycles each time?

But the biggest game changer for me was using the digital Clear Blue OPKs.

[mpc]

4 the first time. 6 for the one I lost. currently on 8 and not pregnant again yet.

[djc315]

2 the first time. Still waiting (10) this time.

[biogirl21]

16

[luv2rn4fun]

7 cycles for the first two pregnancies (both were m/c) and 4 cycles for C.

[spk926]

First cycle trying both times.

With #1 I wasn't charting ahead of time because TTC her was a last minute decision after we got FIL's terminal cancer diagnosis. So I immediately started charting and got pregnant that same month. With #2 I charted a few months before I wanted to start and then once we "pulled the goalie" we got pregnant that first month also.

[biogirl21]

I suppose I should add that it took 20 months and I had actually stopped charting after 12 cycles because I saw an RE at a year and he said I didn't have to keep going. I needed Clomid to get pregnant.

Eta: but I was still tracking CM and taking ovulation tests. I couldn't completely stop, lol.

[jessnpaul]

3 (miscarriage)
1
29 (secondary infertility)

[qcinoct]

for #1, 16 cycles
for #2, 2 cycles

[meltoine]

DS1 we were charting to avoid and failed to be careful enough with observations when moving through 8 time zones messed with my circadian rhythm.

DS2 - 10 cycles. I had a luteal phase deficiency because of breastfeeding that I eventually corrected with B6. I got pregnant the third cycle I was taking the B6, after H was away the entire second cycle.

DS3 - 1 cycle.

With J it took 12 cycles to get pregnant the first time. We lost that baby and then it took 2 more cycles.

This was charting, using preseed, eating pinapole core, elevated hips after sex, sex every day, every other day,2x a day, etc. I tried everything! I know many people think acupuncture is crazy but I got pregnant the first cycle I started acupuncture. This was after 11 previous cycles of perfect timing.

With the girls it was 1 cycle.

[Susie]

5 cycles
