Hi, I'm aware that there is another very active ttc chat but as it's so busy it's really hard to jump on and keep up and read back through everyone's advice and tips etc.

If there is anyone ttc at the minute and wants to share what they are doing or just keep each other going during the tww please comment! I'm currently trying for baby number 2 - I had a chemical in May last year but nothing since so it's been over a year now however my cycles have just regulated in Feb after being all over the place after the loss. This cycle will be cycle 10 for me fingers crossed this is the lucky one 🤞

@Northernsoul90 I was quite lucky with my first and conceived on third cycle! (But still felt a long time as I think the first cycle of that was 54 days! But conscious age isn’t on my side this time as I’m 35 this year
Hi @Jemmy94 thank you re LH tests, I actually get really good EWCM so I actually always know when it’s approaching luckily! (I think this is from taking inositol which I started taking for cycle length and this is a good side effect - I think it’s this as I didn’t start taking it when I got my cycle back after BF and had way less of it).
So sorry about your missed miscarriage and surgeries too.

Hi, hope you dont mind me joining, currently on my first AF since my missed miscarriage back in March (taken 2 surgeries - thanks rpoc) to finally get to this point currently on cycle day 3.

@Northernsoul90 Sorry to hear of your loss. We are also ttc baby #2 my little one just turned 4 in April. I'm currently planning to track to get to know where my cycles are at now and just eat healthily along with supplements. I was 9 weeks also with my missed miscarriage, the anxiety around ttc again is hard.

@Lgn90 I used to have quite long cycles also usually around 30 to 32 days (not sure about now). I used to ovulate around day 16/17 each month I found that testing my lh level twice a day from CD 11 up to my peak helped me narrow it down to when I'd likely ovulate, but it is very frustrating!

Hello! I'm on CD5 today... ovulation for me is usually around day 19/20 but was day 17 last time.

DD is 3, she will be 4 in Sep. Ahh it's so frustrating isn't it when cycles are longer/irregular. Before Christmas my cycle went mental, it was all over the place and then I had a 74 day cycle. Things have evened out since then though, fingers crossed it stays that way. Did it take you long to conceive your first?

Thank you, chemicals are so cruel aren't they you just get excited and then it's taken away. I had a missed miscarriage before DD at 9 weeks too so now I feel like instead of excitement around conceiving it's more worry xx

Hi! I was also on the other thread but can't keep up!
I am also trying for #2 - DS is 20 months, how old is your first?
Fingers crossed for cycle 10 for you! I am going into second cycle, I think I'm on about CD10 but I have quite long cycles, between 30 and 40 days so each cycle I'm not entirely sure when I'll ovulate which makes things a bit frustrating.
Also sorry about your chemical - I had one right before DS
