Hi
I've just had my monthly visit after first month of TTC and although I know we've not been trying for long I always feel a little down. We got pregnant with my first son straight away but my second took 5 months, another son. This time I'll be honest we are TTC a girl so have looked at varying methods. We want a third child regardless before people jump down my throat and we even want a fourth if we are lucky enough so I am not worried if a girl does not come.
We are just curious to try different methods to see if they have any truth. Last month I used the clear blue digital ovulation predictor which tells you high and peak fertility. We stopped DTD when we got a high result but I kept testing and my high period went on for longer than 2 days so we DTD once again for luck. I then got peak so we stopped but I was so desperate to be pregnant a day or so later we DTD again and then I saw about the O + 12 so wasn't too worried. Has anyone used these methods? Also has anyone changed diets to help? What did they find helped? I am taking cranberry supplements, calcium and magnesium also.
Using the clear blue it gives you a rough 48 hr window of when you could ovulate as the peak smiley face doesn't turn off for this time so how would I work out when it had been 12 hrs since actual ovulation?! Any help/tips greatly received.
