TTC #2

Ohhhh that's great @NattyPeer .. I'm tempted to do a third.. sorry I meant keep going with the tests even after you think you've had it so you are 100% sure it's your peak..

I've had a fluey type thing this week. I'm wondering if that affects ovulation. Bloody typical as this is one of the only fertile windows we've had time to DTD at the right time and no peak 😭😭

So strange... well the premom app says twice a day in fertile period and keep going after your peak so I reckon so! Are you gonna do another one?

@LemonBitter oh wow just read your previous post in this thread, that gives me hope thanks! I think we timed it well but idk if we will be able to do it again, think ovulation is today.

@NattyPeer no I don't BBT I wake up so much in the night with my toddler I don't think I'd be any good at it and I find it quite confusing. Hoping to play it cool and not stress too much about it this cycle but I know what I'm like lol

Hey @HRHXO look at my last post a few mins ago - deffo possible. Good luck ☺️

That is so weird @NattyPeer... yeah I'm going to try not to drink too much over the next few hours and then do one maybe 6 or 7pm?? Have you usually peaked by this time of day? Last two cycles I was 10.45 and 14.45 but today at 3.45 it was low 🥴

Hi all, I'm currently ttc baby no2. DS is 21m actual and we feel ready. I had peak on my ovulation tests yesterday and they've gone straight back to low today so assuming I should ovulate today. We've only managed to DTD once this cycle as DS has been poorly, we did it last night on peak day so fingers crossed that's enough. Anyone concieved by DTD just the once? I know it only takes once but I usually like to cover a few more days!

That's still pretty good I would say - in with a good chance!!

I'm pretty sure I felt implantation the first time - had some really sharp pains in my side. That was the first time I thought I was in with a chance as I wasn't using OPKs and we only DTD once and that was the day after flo said I ovulated so I assumed we were out...

Wow 9DPO is early - if that happens again you haven't got too long to wait at all!!

@LemonBitter we managed to dtd 2 days before and 1 day before O, was hoping to hit O day itself but had a big family party that ended late - sometimes sleep wins out 😂

Fingers crossed both our efforts will be worth it!

When you were pregnant first time round were there any signs in the tww? I felt nauseous and headachey at 9dpo and got a bfp that same day, so now anytime I get a hint of a headache in the tww I start getting hopeful (annoying as I’m very prone to headaches generally)

Ohh that's so good you've got a distraction @Mummio92 .. did you manage to DTD over ovulation time? I don't temperature test (might next month) but my peak tends to come out of the blue without much build up so I think I need to keep testing 🥴 will DTD tonight either way I think!!!

@LemonBitter good idea testing multiple times a day now as I find the surge can spring up on you, are your OPKs getting darker?
I peaked on Thursday and had temp rise this morning to confirm O was yesterday so here we go again, back in the tww- thankfully going on holiday Friday so the second half of the wait will hopefully have too much distraction to be overanalysing!

How's it going everyone?

Did an easy at home ovulation test this morning and not at my peak yet.. it's usually CD14 which is today so going to test a bit later....

Aw it will be good to be in it together @Mummio92 @NattyPeer .

Yeah I don't track BBT actually, I'm thinking if I'm out again this cycle it's one to try on the next!

@LemonBitter @NattyPeer
my predicted ov is Sunday so looks like we could all be headed into the 2ww together next week.

To cover all bases we’ll probably aim for every other day in fertile window and every day from when I get a high OPK until my temp rises.
If you don’t monitor BBT however then wise to add in some more in the days after predicted ov just in case it’s later than expected.

When I last got pregnant, I had been taking vitamins and various things for months and then I got sick of them so stopped .. conceived that month 😂

@NattyPeer 2 days before sounds sensible.. are you trying to do a few days in a row or leaving a gap? It's so hard to know!!!

Feels like everyone is getting pregnant around me as well.. I'm so impatient and just want it to happen now but it doesn't seem to be 😭

Heyyyy 😃 sorry I missed your message somehow @Mummio92... I'm only taking vitamin d, I'm wondering if I should start taking folic acid but feel like I'm tempting fate?

Just entering fertile window now.. apps say ovulation Friday but I use the easy at home strips and the last few months I've had my peak the day after the apps have predicted ovulation so I'm just trying to work out tactics... thinking of DTD tomorrow Thursday Friday Saturday? 🥴 or maybe skip one and add Sunday in? I don't know much about frequency and sperm quality...

I'm honestly getting less confident as the cycles go on 😭

How are you getting on @NattyPeer ?

@LemonBitter quite a while to go before January so that seems a reasonable assumption!
I found it disappointing the other month realising that it’s no longer possible for baby #2 to be born in 2024.

I’m just taking some vitamins that I’ve read are good for increasing ewcm and lengthening the luteal phase as mine has been only 10 days roughly which I hear can make it harder to implantation to take place. So vitamin c & b6 plus evening primrose oil. We’ll see what happens, at least BBT should give me a clear indication of whether it helps with LP lengthening.

How about you, are you trying anything?

This is literally all I'm doing at the minute @Mummio92 it's so hard. We've just booked a holiday for January and I'm hoping to be pregnant then but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Are you going to do anything different this cycle?
