TTC October 2020 Babies
Hi all! I'm back in the TTC game as of today. I just got my first post postpartum period so now I feel like I can try and track ovulation. I ordered some OPKs and will start using them in a week or so. I can't track BBT this time around because of my DD.
I used this site heavily while trying to conceive our daughter and made a bunch of friends that I still talk to. I'm looking forward to meeting some new ladies and sharing in this TTC journey again.
Here's a little bit about me. I started TTC in 2017 and it took us 9 months of tracking to get our first BFP. Our daughter was born on Valentine's day 2019 and is almost one! We want our kids about 2 years apart but know that it's not really our choice. We are hoping it will take 9 months (cycles) or less to conceive baby number 2. I expect to have irregular cycles starting out because we are still breast feeding. I had very regular periods before getting pregnant.
So! Who is trying for October babies and how's it going?

@Pie106 - Fingers crossed for you!
AFM- I started taking EPO today. Should have started with my cycle but oh well. I had forgotten I used it last time to help with fertile cm. Might as well use it again since I have some in my cabinet! I'm going to start OPKs tomorrow morning if I can remember too.
Happy Friday all!

Fisherbritt- I completely understand! It took me 8 months (though that was only 5 cycles) to conceive my first. I just figured I perfected the art of charting and timing since I conceived my second the first cycle after my first postpartum period. I thought it would be easy with #3 because of that. Here I am- cycle 6, obsessing over every little thing, worrying because I’ll be 34 in a few days and I’m rapidly approaching advance maternal age... just 1 more thing to worry about as if I don’t over think it all anyway! ????
Best of luck to you! Let’s get those ’s

Hello everyone,
I am ttc#2 for 2y now. It took us 4 y to have #1 who is a boy. He is 2y2m. My cycles seem shorter now 25-30 than for most of my life 35-40. This week I will go pescatarian. I have been low carbs/keto for a while. I look forward to being in this journey with everyone. And congrats for the new . My baby is a November baby. I got pregnant just a few days before Valentine's day in 2017, and 3y later, hoping for the same.

Swebb- I also lost 2 before I had my first baby. A second trimester loss, then a MMC at around 10-11 weeks (started bleeding at my 8w dating sonogram). It made ttc stressful and daunting, for sure. And it makes the pregnancy very nerve wracking, too. But I then had my sweet daughter (conceived 8 months after MMC) then conceived my second daughter after only 1 postpartum period. The journey is full of anxiety and stress after experiencing loss, but also so much joy and excitement when you finally have that beautiful baby in you arms! Don’t lose hope!
