CD1 - who's with me

Hi!

Just hoping for some company as I start again on CD1 today!

I'm ttc baby 2, this is my second cycle trying! My daughter took just under 12 months to conceive so I'm hopeful I can get pregnant a bit quicker this time, especially as my daughter is already 4.

This month I'm taking proceive max, high dose Omega 3, and CoQ-10 and hoping to achieve 10,000 a day to help with obsessing less 😂

Promised myself this cycle I will. Not. Test. Early 🫣

Last cycle was 25 day cycle, I'm usually between 25 and 28 days! Tracking BBT and using OPKs ☺️

I'm a bit further along on CD7 but this will be my first cycle trying for our 2nd! I've sort of being trying to track to see what happens when in my cycle, so I think I usually ovulate day 14-19 - not too sure! I fell first cycle with my son but I'm not sure we'll be so lucky again.. I'll be 34 this year, whether that will have any impact!

@Happibara oh interesting! I'll have a read into it!

I've spent all afternoon researching Mucinex to aid conception., I saw it on TikTok and have seen many positive stories but I'm feeling uneasy about it

Apparently it can't do any harm, it's just an over the counter cough medicine, but not sure if it's worth a shot or not!

I'm deffo going to make sure I drink a lot more this month and eat more fresh fruit/veg and less processed and sugary foods 🤞🏼

@sellingupslow Oh, that would be lovely, imagine having a month of birthday celebrations! Wish you luck, I hope it happens!

We're definitely interested... Very, very interested, perhaps too much - I do ask myself if it would be healthier to not obsess so much. Would try it if I could 😆 And perhaps that level of intensity is just not easily achievable if you're the male partner, no matter how eager they are to welcome the new baby.

The RHR is resting heart rate, it's supposed to elevate, and keep going up for a while, if implantation is successful. And it really did for me in my first pregnancy, so now I'm checking it every day in the TWW. Gives you a similar feedback to BBT tracking, but I'm adding BBT now as it's better at confirming if you actually ovulated.

Hey @Happibara!

Welcome!

I track using my Apple Watch and I find it really helpful! Seems we're on a similar concoction of meds 😬 what's RHA?

I'm desperate for this month to be my month as I'll have the exact same due date as with my daughter (although she wasn't born on her due date)

Definitely, it'll be nice to have someone to talk to that's interested in all this, my husband just wants to have sex and doesn't care about the rest 😂 he is desperate for baby 2 though bless him as he's been asking since my daughter turned 18 months, I just haven't been ready until now

Hello, I'm also TTC #2, but it's my 8th cycle.

Just one day ahead, CD 2 today. I tend to ovulate day 12-14, and then have 14 day luteal phase.

I'm taking conceive+, CoQ-10, DHA/EPA and vitamin D, I've also started taking vitex this month. I'm reaching a point where I need a pill container to sort all of them 🤣

I'm using OPKs and tracking RHR after ovulation, and I'll start tracking BBT this month too. Never did before but I think more data will be nice.

I'd love a bit more chill myself this month! Hope we can support each other and stay positive.

I'll start doing OPK's on CD10 this month, I want to try and be a bit more chill if possible 🫣

I ovulated CD11 last month too!

I always come on exactly 14 days after a positive OPK so it's pretty consistent in that respect, but I ovulate between 11-15 every month!

I was on the pill many years came off mid Feb, we didnt try/I wasn’t tracking till my cycle starting mid May and that cycle I ovulated CD 11 and got my bfp. I got lucky I caught it as I only started testing CD10, so I think I should start sooner this time!
Is your cycle like clockwork ?
