Trying for #2

Jenn

When you (and your SO) decided to start trying again did you immediately start tracking and everything again like with the first? Or did you take it easy for a few cycles without tracking or scheduling BD?

Last time was so stressful I just don’t know that I want to go through it like that again but at the same time I feel like I’m so much more experienced that maybe we’d have success sooner if I just tracked right away.

This is our first cycle trying. Just because the first time was so stressful for me, I decided this time, I’m just going to wing it. If I’m still not pregnant with doing the stress-free thing after a few cycles, then I want to use OPKs. I’ve only been logging my periods and when I have sex just because I feel like my cycles are still regulating.

Started tracking with OPKsmainly because I wanted to make sure my cycle was regular 😅 didn’t use OPK this month and now I’m 2 days late for AF. So annoying because I don’t feel pregnant and I’m usually regular with my cycles! 😩 hate when it forces you to get your hopes up 🥴

Turns out it was just a random late AF 😩 frustrating when I’ve been so regular for months!

I didn’t track the first time i just went off of what glow predicted really, this time I'veBbt and opks for three months, found that stressful so I stopped that for now, on month 5. Last two months we've just tried the not tracking or really trying even though we always seem to have sex during possibly fertile window still.

In the first month we just winged it and didn’t get pregnant but in the second month we got OPK and found out that I ovulate later than I thought so fingers crossed. I’m 6 DPO and praying that I’ve conceived!

Its kinda the opposite for me. With my son we just kinda made a mutual decision that whatever happens happens. That cycle I got pregnant and THEN started downloading all the apps and everything. This is our 2nd baby but our first time actively ttc. Even still I just track my period and ovulation. But now that its a conscious decision and I want another baby so badly im way more observant and anxious. I had no problems conceiving the first time but ive been on the IUD for 3 years and they say your fertility or whatever should return soon BUT HOW SOON? Im hoping right away soon cause I dont wanna go through another cycle of this lol

We took the first few months easy no tracking just when I had EWCM and high sex drive. Then after 3 months I started tracking with opks and then went for treatment of Clomid and got pregnant my first cycle on it but sadly miscarried

I am in a similar boat to you! It took us 10 months last time so I wasn't sure if I wanted to dive in with OPKs. Last time I started doing all that about 4 months in. This time I've started straight away. Trying not to get obsessed though. This is month 1 for us of trying again x

So hard! Especially when you've had a not so nice experience the first time around xx going to try to stop at OPKs and not do anything on top of that
