TTC baby number 2

[Louisa11]

I conceived my daughter while not trying to conceive as I was avoiding sex around fertile window on app. She is now 2 and I’ve been trying to conceive again now for 4 months with no success and it’s really making me sad. I have now realised why I feel pregnant with her.... because I ovulate a lot later then the app suggests. I have been using ovulation tests taking folic acid and having sex before and after ovulation. I just imagined if I was having sex on ovulation day and the lead up it would of been easier to get pregnant. I don’t want to age gap to be any bigger and I’m desperate to get pregnant. I feel like I’m doing everything right and still nothing. I am 30 and my partner is 37. I can feel AF coming so next month will be 5th month ttc. I also thought it would be easier to get pregnant second time round. Especially as I haven’t used contraception for 8 years just condoms. After reading up it seems 4/5 months is not a long time although it feels like forever. I supposed I’m just worried that it’s not going to happen x

Hey lovely, not much wisdom here I’m afraid but I wanted to give you a virtual hand hold! Ttc is tough going, I think the advice I’ve heard is to basically go at it like rabbits throughout your whole cycle. we’re in a similar position to you, im 33 and our little boy is turning 2 this month. I’d really love a sibling for him this year but who knows when it will happen I guess. Trying not to stress but it’s hard isn’t it x

It’s really difficult, I’m TTC number 2.
Onto cycle 10 since a miscarriage last March. I’ve been temping this month as I’ve been having a bit of acupuncture, I’m CD20 I don’t even think I’ve ovulated this month. I get what you mean about the sibling age gap getting bigger every month, I’m finding that really hard to deal with. Especially since I should have a 3 month old by now. We just have to keep trying and stay as positive as possible.

So many people keep telling me to get rid of the app and ovulation sticks and it will happen. I’ve also been told to have sex every other day.

I think this month I’m going to do every other day then if nothing try deleting the app... I think it’s driving me a little bit crazy!

What cycle are you on xx

Ahhh bless you
