Hi so I have the flo app to track ovulation and also moniter my period! When I fell preg with my youngest (7minth) I used the app but also sticks we dtd on what both said ovulation day (both said same day) and voila baby is here!
Now last month it said I had a 10 fertile days so did may looking back but we weren't trying then, but this month and next few months it's showing only 7 possible days anyone any idea why? We dtd on what flo saod ovulation day last month but nothing ( I know only been one month but I'm usually very fertile) so am now worrying any help appreciated

I don't use Flo but I'm guessing like most of the period tracking apps it's not licenced for conception but is using data technically for pregnancy avoidance. In which case, it will give more fertile days than you actually have if it's unsure (risk of saying you're infertile when you're fertile is higher than the other way around!). So last month it was less sure as to when you would ovulate and gave a broader window just in case. Your real life fertility window is the 12-36 hours after the egg is released, + up to 5 days before as sperm can survive that long.

Typically, 80% of people fall pregnant within the first year of trying. Are you breastfeeding your 7 month old? That influences hormones and can make TTC more difficult. Also, try not to stress (easier said than done!) As stress can also impact on your cycle. Good luck!
