Are you insane? After years of obsessing about birth control, just tossing the idea aside and saying “Woohoo! Let’s see if we can start a baby tonight!” That made from some great whoopee…
Even after my wife had her tubes tied, every once in a while we’d try anyway…
Nothing to add as far as how to get pregnant, but I do have a word of advice:
You can get home pregnancy tests for less than a dolar a piece online. Go to a website and buy a bunch of them. This will save quite a bit of money - they are rediculously over-priced at retail stores. You can also get cheap ovulation tests to find out when your woman is ovulating. No use paying $10 or $15 bucks a pop - and this way you have a bunch of them so you are not afraid to use them. And you can put the money you saved in your kid’s tuition fund.
Pack all of your belongings into a U-Haul truck, pull into a rest stop in the middle of the night while driving through Indiana, park between 18 wheelers, when you can’t seem to catch some sleep enjoy the bench seat of the truck in a different way…
Well Hell, it worked for us 
Well, our first daughter was pretty much an accident, seeing as how we weren’t married, and were using birth control (The Sponge) at the time. Our second daughter, we went off the pill, used spermicide for three months (the prevailing wisdom at the time was you were supposed to be off the pill for three months before conception), and after we stopped using the spermicide, I think it took us about two weeks to get pregnant. Our third one was a little tougher; hubby was working out of town Monday-Friday. I would calculate when I was ovulating, and sometimes make him come home in the middle of the week so we could have sex when I thought I was fertile. After about six months of that not working, we actually bought a few ovulation predictor kits. The second or third month we used one of those (turns out I had been miscalculating my ovulation by about three days), we hit it. Got our third daughter. Since we ended up with three healthy babies, I don’t think we did anything wrong.
We’d been married a little over seven years when we decided to have a baby. Having spent what seemed like my entire life obsessing about not getting pregnant, I assumed that just going off the Pill would do the trick in short order. Six frustrating months later, I turned up pregnant. We didn’t use any special methods.
The second time, I was tempted to start “trying” a little earlier than we actually wanted the children spaced, but because I’d heard so many stories from friends who had trouble conceiving the first one but then gotten pregnant immediately the second time around, we waited until we were ready. This time, of course, it took one full year for me to conceive. By then, I was experienced at “reading” my cervical mucus, charting my cycles, and I’d had blood tests done to check hormone levels. Oddly, though, I can pinpoint the day I conceived - I’d been driving home from playgroup with my first child when I felt a weird tearing sort of sensation in my left lower abdomen. According to my temperature chart, it was almost time for me to ovulate, so I called Mr. Legend to come home for lunch, put the toddler down for a nap, and we conceived the second one. Although I’d already done a home test, my OB confirmed the pregnancy at the appointment I’d made to discuss options for fertility testing, and we set up a schedule of prenatal visits instead.
We’re trying, too!
My son is 13 1/2 months old. Back in the beginning of 2002, I got pregnant. We’d been trying for about 6 months. I had a miscarriage in July of 2002. My doctor told us to wait for three months, which we did, to the day. I was pregnant within about 2 weeks.
With both of those pregnancies, we did the “sex every day” method. Since that seemed to work, that’s our strategy this time! We started on Tuesday!
I would agree with the other posters who say to relax and have fun. That’s mostly what it’s about with us, except for the few days when we’re both not in the mood and just do the quickie thing to get it over with. I do think baby-making sex is more fun, though…more intimate and special.
So, wanna race? 
probably conceived the first try with China bambina.
Baby number two we’ve been kinda maybe we should have another kid for 6 months. Now we’ve got twin girls coming around New Years.
I’ve had acquaintances swear by the ovulation test strips. Seems to be a lot more accurate than temperatures.
AAAAARRRGGGH!!! Like planning a trip to Brazil to adopt a baby wasn’t just as stressful as trying to conceive one.
I conceived while waiting for our son to come home from Korea. It was insanely stressful to wait. Far more stressful than anything we went through when we tried to conceive.
Then people say “well you weren’t stressed about trying to get pregnant.” Do you really think my body knows the difference and is just being contrary?
We didn’t plan. Both the Ivy kidlets were “Ooops” babies, Ivyboy with a condom, Ivygirl with a diaphragm.
Ivylad has some powerful sperm.
