TTC baby 2

[MrsSnootyPants2018]

Hi all,

DH and I are trying for baby number 2. Our DD was a total surprise so we've never actively tried before and just wanted to get a range of tips/advice from those who have.

I've been tracking my periods in prep for around 6 months and we've only used condoms before so haven't had to go through withdrawal of contraception so to speak.

Hi op! I've found ovulation kits really helpful. Totally up to you of course but I've used clear blue ones and they seemed really good. I'm expecting my second now (only found out last Friday) xx good luck xx

Thanks. I'll take a look into them and congratulations!!!

Thanks, we're so chuffed. I really do think they're worth a look. It'll help you pin point when ovulation is going to happen. The CB ones give you more fertile days as it detects two hormones rather than one (so it's not just when your pick is picked up). I really recommend that brand x

I saw 20 CB digital ovulation tests on Groupon today for £22 - half price! 😊 Best of luck on your TTC journey - may it be short x

I’ve been using OvuSense for temping for a month . We have been ttc number 2 for 6 months . My cycles range from 28 days to 36. So frustrating . And I always spot a week before I’m due on :( which I think may be an issue of low progesterone

Hi @MrsSnootyPants2018! I'm also trying for #2. Conceived my first just by having sex every 2-3 days through the fertile period. My second was a fluke but ended in miscarriage and since then I did opks first 2 cycles and will be temping this cycle along with having sex regularly again. I think opks made me worried as I missed my peak last month so got confused. Temping doesn't predict ovulation but does confirm it so hoping that is a better approach for me. I'm just using the Ovia app as I like things to be nice and simple but there are other more in depth apps out there.

Thanks everyone. Currently 9 days into tww!

Good luck x
