Hey!

TTC our 2nd been putting it off for a while but this month I’m going to be actively trying and testing LH etc
reading other posts feels as though everyone is already in there TWW this Aug 😂 so looking for company, anyone whose still waiting for their ovulation week.

I only used BBT when falling pregnant with my first but haven’t being doing it as regularly as I did back then.
Ive been trying to take my temp the past couple of weeks and natural cycles predicting ovulation on Weds!
what’s everyone plan of attack? 😂 I’m going to use LH strips from tomorrow onwards and as soon as I get my peak start DTD! Very sceptical it’ll happen this month with it being the first official month of trying but we shall see!
Hoping for some company if anyone is at a similar stage in their cycle?

@Mama09876
A blighted ovum is when your body thinks its pregnant but there was never an embryo it had dissolved at the start. So cruel because you go to your scan (luckily I did a private one 6 wks) and the gestation sac was empty! Anyway I'm casually taking it easy for now see what happens. I know what you mean more scared 🤣 after dd know what's to come.

I'm on our second cycle TTC baby #3. I'm not doing any tests or anything right now, just taking it kinda casually the first couple cycles and seeing what happens. Going off dates and sorta generally how I feel, and an app I've been using to track data, I think I should ovulate sometime this weekend though!

Hi I'm nervously contemplating ttc 2nd this month too! It's soon ovulation I'm not tracking though just going off dates. I had a blighted ovum last attempt so iv left it 2 cycles to get a bit of normality because that saga lasted 9 weeks!🙈 I'm wanting to chat to people even if I decide to delay it until next month

This has been me the past couple of months! 😂 just sort of seeing what happens round dates but not really doing much. This month though I’m on the ball with BBT & LH test.
At the start of the year I said we’d try around Aug (hoping for a gap in birthdays as my 1st is end of the year) and it’s come round so fast! 😂

Sorry I’m not sure what a blighted ovum is?

I should be ovulating Sat/Sun, this is only our 2nd month TTC for our 1st, trying and failing to stay relaxed 😂
I've been LH testing since the start of the week as its my first month using Easyathome strips, doesn't look like my LH levels are rising at all atm but Natural cycles and premom app say high fertility so just going to DTD in hope that something is going on😂

This is exciting! I found I was much more excited when trying for my first now I know what’s the come it’s more scary making the jump to have a 2nd 😂
but if it helps my LH strips don’t really show much until maybe a few days before.

So natural cycles for me is saying ovulation Tuesday so i have started the LH test only one a day and im the same no rise yet (as expected) but i plan to do LH test daily tomorrow & Sat then I’ll probably do twice on Sunday maybe 3 times then 3 times on Monday. Hopefully that will catch my peak!
I found that when I was really close to it if I didn’t do the LH at least 3 times a day I’d miss it.
I know it doesn’t make a difference missing it as long as you’re DTD, it’s just nice to see that you get your peak and you know it’s good to go! 😂
