My 2nd time TTC journey!

Aymee❤❤ • Sat, Oct 21

Hi everyone 🤗 ok so last month was my first month TTC ever baby #1 My husband and I have been together for 7 years and we decided to go for it. We are really hoping to announce we are pregnant on Christmas day to our family. Unfortunately I got AF yesterday 😔 I was devastated but today I picked myself up and I'm ready to do this again!

For this cycle I'm going to start tracking my bbt (any suggestions on thermometers?) for the first time and buying OPKs to know exactly when I ovulate (I feel I might of ovulated late last cycle and missed my chance). So I just want some advice from all you lovely ladies who are going thru the same thing or that have already conceived.

Should I purchase pre seed? I have read so many good things about it and how some get pregnant the first time using it after years of trying. Or is there any other fertility friendly lubricant you all recommended? I have never used any type of lubricant at all so this will be new to me.

Now this is the most confusing thing for me because I have read so many different opinions. How often should we really be having sex? is it every other day? Or every day? My husband and I work long hours and get home late most days so this last cycle we tried to BD as much as we could during my fertile window but most days we were really tired. This month we are committed!
