TTC - first month fail
Hi guys, I've got a little boy - nearly 3 now. First time I got pregnant we "tried" for one month and I was pregnant 2 weeks later so was extremely easy. We had sex during ovulation from tracking my periods on the flo app and we were successful.
Last month we decided it was time for baby number two... we have tried the same way we tried with our first baby and baby danced every day during ovulation but AF has arrived.
I ideally want to do everything I can to conceive as fast as possible this time around as well, with someone who has ADHD the waiting and constant testing drives me insane but I know it might not be as easy this time around but want to do everything I possibly can to make it easier.
I see people post with ovulation strips and testing temperature ect... where do I start with all this stuff and what do I need to buy, and what apps shall I use? I have no idea lol
I use the easy at home Amazon strips and the Premom App. I test twice a day to catch my peak (12pm and 7pm) I also track my temp (BBT) every morning and that also syncs to the Premom app. Together it builds up a clear picture of your cycle. To be honest though I think the best thing you can do is to take care of yourself. Take vitamins, healthy diet and light exercise. Then regular sex every other day. My only advice is to not get too consumed in all the apps and information. It can be a dark rabbit hole that can create unnecessary stress. Please also remember it’s only around a 20% chance each cycle, so if it doesn’t happen, don’t worry as there’s nothing wrong ☺️ it may just take a little time. Best of luck 💕🤞
