TTC October 2020 Babies

View Full Post

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?

Cd14 and no surge and lines aren't darker at all. For me, that's unusual. I've tracked over a year and only once had a surge beyond cd13. It's always cd11 or 12. I have tested every 2 hours since cd10. I feel like I'm not getting a chance this month at all. I hate to be so dramatic and impatient. I get the same disappointment from negative lh strips as bfns sometimes. I have no cm or any signs of fertility.

@Kaybee3 - I'm in the same boat as you... It looked like my body was gearing up to ovulate on CD14 and then my tests went super negative the past three days. I'm just hoping my body will gear up and give me another surge soon. I hope yours does too.

Kaybee & Flamingogirl- it is so frustrating! I totally understand- but the multiple surges are my norm- usually the third is my charm, but sometimes 4or 5.
I really hope yours come soon and you both catch the egg!!

Thanks y'all. They are looking a little darker today! Not a surge, but definitely showing up more! Hubby has been "building up" his contribution for 5-6 days (was going for 3 days for a healthy, full batch.) I think it's gonna have to be tonight or they'll begin to die.

Lol! I have to convince my DH to build his up. He’d prefer to contribute every day . That didn’t work out at all for us last time so around ovulations I can get him down to every other or every two days.

Flamingo, he was the same way but I told him it contributed to girls. ((Read it somewhere, not sure if credible)). He wants a chance at a son after 3 girls so.... Since we got our girls with pretty frequent bds, we're switching it up a little. Honestly, it's just month 10 ttc and I'm wondering if his count changed with the gap ((4.5 years since last conception, we are mid 30s now))

Hello everyone,

@Brittany I am using easy@home and clear blue pink Digi they are a bit pricey. I am not sure if I will ov this cycle. They look like they are darkening a bit but cycles are now 25-30.

@Flamingo I heard good things any pregmate. I might try them next cycle if necessary.

AFM fertility doc on Monday. Hoping to be considered for iui.

Everyone else how are you? I'm kn. Cd12

Hello !

First month TTC for me ! I'm 30 years old.
The TWW is really looong... I refrain from buying pregnancy tests before a missed AF. I have no particular symptom (apart from night sweats ... which I often have before AF ) but i keep hope for an October baby !

I'm at CD28.
I don't know exactly my ovulation date, but I had EWCM on CD12. It seemed a bit early because my cycles are 30 days long on average (28 days minimum).

Babydust to everyone!

Hi Roseevee - that’s smart not to get pregnancy tests to early. I just bought myself 4 more from the dollar store and I’m only 7 DPO :-S crazy tester lady over here (pointing at myself). Anyone else having crazy vivid dreams? I keep dreaming that I either get my period or am in labour or that I have my miscarried babies. Also nervous about stuff like having hot baths or a drink or two which I assume is a no-no. Wish I knew for sure if hubby “got me” this cycle.
