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?

I've been trying for a year with 4 miscarriages.

This morning I got a faint but very obvious positive, I'm too anxious to believe I'm pregnant or that k won't miscarry again.

I've got nausea and fatigue so good signs I guess. My period isn't due until the 18th so I'll retest then and arrange to see my Dr.

Baylor’s- if your opk is positive today- you will probably ovulate tomorrow, so your temp rise would be the following day.
I conceived both of my girls with sex day of ovulation. I think the sex timing method (forgot what it’s called) only sways you chances of favoring 1 gender over the other by 1%, so really you’re still at about 1:1 odds. I like to increase my odds of pregnancy by having more swimmers in the race, but I also don’t have a strong preference for one gender over the other. (A slight sway toward a third girl, but dream of having a little boy, too)
Either way- best of luck to you! Hope you catch this egg!

13dpo and stark whites. Been bawling every day since that evap got me on 9dpo. I am ready for AF to come tomorrow as this cycle was a long one and I ovulated late and I'm over it emotionally.

No more TTC for us. Just not preventing. Best of luck to you ladies.
I hope we get our baby but I think it's best for my mental health if I give up the opks, the obsessing, the testing, and all that comes with the intentional TTC.

People swear it works sometimes. I'm exhausted.

to all.

@Kaybee I'm sorry to hear that you are exhausted. But I have been where you are ttc#1 and now ttc#2 I'm not too far either. A break is important for our sanity and maybe once you relax, you will get your Bfp.

Good luck to the waiting to ovulate.
No AF yet. Now 2 days late.

Aww congrats noodlebug,
Kahlanand natsmom I’ve joined a baby dust method group and a girl sway is like a cut of day of 2 days or more before ovulation, boy sway is intercourse on ovulation and the day after, we bd on the 13th and ovulation was 15th so we have a 2 day cut off, I’m not bothered about which gender it would be but will be interesting to see what happens, 1dpo today so it’s going to drag but the kids have a week off school so that will keep me busy while I wait x
