TTC #2

Hiya all, I’m back on the TTC train. It took us 18months to conceive our little boy back in 2021. I’m now 31 and my partner 30. So in April, I decided to have my copper coil out. We are 4 months into our journey and I am already struggling with the fact we just don’t ‘fall’ pregnant- which is silly I know! I’d been using the flo app to track periods and ovulation however, decided to check with CB ovulation tests this month to see if flo was accurate- it wasn’t- it was 4 days out! So that explains. I’m due on Thursday and have had ALOT more CM that usual and some cramps this morning - it’s only been around a week since I ovulated 🤔 so confused and feel deflated already- time will tell… Any advice, inspiration welcome,

Hey lovely, Using ovulation tests are a good idea to get an accurate account of when you ovulate. If you input this info into flo it will readjust. Premom app is also very good for tracking your ovulation. You can take pics of your ovulation sticks and it'll tell you when your peak is. They say to have s*x every other day in your fertile window but then the day before, day of and after ovulation day, if you can. Also, take you vitamins, drink water, eat well and hot foods/drinks to keep your uterus warm, during the 2ww. I had more CM when I was pregnant. Do you plan on testing or will you just wait to see if your period will show? X

Thankyou, I don’t plan on testing until I am late on my period- I am like clockwork. I find pregnancy tests quite triggering after last time … xxx

Don't blame you. I get that! Xx

I found flo wasnt accurate for me, it’s just an algorithm and goes off the info you put into the app. I started TTC in March this year and tracked ovulation with strips but then in April/May cycle i used strips but also the CB ones with the smiley face. I found them a lot more accurate and i fell pregnant (currently 15 weeks) so we were really lucky. Id recommend using the strips to see when you are getting closer to your peak and then the CB ones once you think your nearly there to confirm it as the CB ones aren’t exactly cheap 🤣 We tried to have sex every other day leading upto my peak and then we had sex every day for 3 days once CB had the smiley just to make sure we covered all bases x
