TTC - first month fail
Show your support
LH strips will tell you when are your most fertile and peak days, and after a peak you’d ovulate in about 24-48 hrs. That, and looking out for cervical mucus changes will give you the best chance.
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 💕🤞
Hiya. I’m in a similar situation. With my first one I’ve got pregnant on the third cycle (I was tracking ovulation), and currently TTC our second. I’ve got pregnant on the first cycle, but unfortunately it was an early miscarriage at 5+3 weeks. On the 1st cycle now after the loss. Anyways, just babbling… I use the Premom app. For period tracking I’ve always used Natural cycles, but for pregnancy tracking I found Premom to be the best (for me at least). It’s free to track ovulation and BBT, and they have their own brand of LH strips (and HCG as well), which you can buy from Amazon. 100 strips cost £25, so cheaper vs Clear blue for example. You should ideally start taking the tests 10 days prior your predicted ovulation. I used to do BBT, before my first pregnancy, for about 4-5 cycles, but it was waaaay too stressful so I stopped doing it. If you have regular cycles and period, that means you’re ovulating, so I don’t think it’s necessary to confirm with body temps.
