I need to get back on that then. I got some boots ones because they were on offer but it's probably worth throwing money at it haha.

I'm not sure if it will effect your cycle that your periods are irregular, but I think your best bet is to track really well.

I'm thinking of getting this fertility test. How did everyone conceive their first? For me the clear blue smiley tests seemed to make the difference but was challenging anyway as Dh always had a lower libido than me.

I’ve found since my covid vaccinations that my periods have changed.

I used to be very regular and in for around seven days. All my periods were the same. Now they vary and I can be off on day five or six then back on again day seven. Will this affect my ovulation day. I’ve brought the easy@hone Premom ovulation kit too. Im going to try my clear blue ones in a few days they are just so expensive!

We're starting our first cycle too. Took us a good 9+ months to conceive No1 plus have had development worries since birth so quite nervous about this time. DH is ollldddd and I'm now officially geriatric mum (36 if I conceive quickly).

What worked for me last time was the clear blue smiley face ovulation sticks. I'm considering the super expensive machine as well but don't know anyone who has had success with them.

All my friends are very much in the 'he looked at me and I conceived' camp so don't really have anyone to talk to about this.
