5-6 cycles ttc#2

Hopingforanother

Here for help like everyone else. My First pregnancy was about 4 years ago and I got preg the second month. With my daughter. She's two months shy of 3 years old.

I just turned 30 and my hubby just turned 32. Both average weight.

We have Been trying for number two for about 5 or 6 months.it started off as let's try and hoeoful unit happens and then in the 4th month I decided to get more serious I with the research and ovulation tests since it didn't just happen like my first.

I range from 26-30 day cycles but usually 28. Tried the OPK about 3 months in. We never use lube but wonder if preseed would work better to help us. Or maybe fertility teas even though I have a normal cycle I think.

The opk test in November (it's now Jan) gave me a smiley on cd 16 and we had Sex right away that night around 11pm and a few nights off and on leading to that positive opk. The morning after that pos opk, I tested again and still had a smiley but he was at work. That night there was no smiley but we didn't have sexy doe another week or so after that initial positive opk. I didn't get pregnant. It don't work for December or January either bc AF graced me on Saturday Jan 23. But in January I ran out of the digital oaks with smileys and just went by a strip that looked like pos ovulation to me. So in January, We had sex for 4 nights in a row leading up to a strong opk but not after that strong line on my opk.

It seems like I typically ovulate on day 16 of a 28 day cycle. My Krystal phase ranges from 10-13 days I think by never less. Really hoping it works this time on feb but not sure what we can do differently this time around. I want to give my daughter a sibling and I'm not sure if something is wrong with me if I'm ovulating with regular cycles but still not having success after 5-6 months and three months of using opks

If you are concerned speak to your Dr.  But 5-6 is not abnormal.

I agree that it is still early. I would keep using the OPK's but try not to stress yet. 

Also, we used preseed when we were TTC #1. I don't think it hurts to use it, but I also, for us at least, didn't think it helped at all. It honestly felt a little gimmicky looking back on it. We won't be using it this time around.

Here is the recipe from this ancient 38 year old who got PG quickly at 36: temping, charting, OPKs, lots of lube*, timing BD as close to O as possible, and tilting your pelvis up for 10-15 minutes afterwards (just prop your hips up with a pillow and read something).  Good luck!!

*PreSeed has preservatives but Astroglide Natural is both natural and feels way better/not sticky.

I know the anxiety but its early, keep on using the OPKs. Tiliting you pelvis is also workable to facilitate the proces...Good Luck!!
