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?

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.

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))

AF today... No October 2020 baby for me. Maybe november, I hope ! 
For this new cycle, I will try to track my ovulation.
Swebb11: The early pregnancy tests are expensive at the pharmacy near my home. That's why I refrained from testing (+ no symptoms).
I will look for cheaper ones on internet, because I think it would help me during the 2WW. I want to join the crazy testers team ! 
I understand, I also avoid drinking during the 2WW... However, I didn't know that the hot baths were not recommended (I often take hot baths, I will avoid now)

Roseevee - I am not 100% certain on hot baths being bad for the TWW. I know they weren’t good during confirmed pregnancy and I even tried to take a bath that was at 103F and got cold so figured enough of that, haha
I think I am probably out now. I think I’m CD28, 11DPO today (uncertain because last period started with days of spotting). I’ve been taking pregnancy tests for a few days now and no squinters, and started spotting two days ago. It’s weird because last cycle was a few days shorter than normal and looks like this cycle is short as well. Crazy how much my body has become unfamiliar to me since a couple MCs. I was really hoping to be pregnant this cycle. Today is my original due date and hubby and I are leaving on vacation today. A mix of bittersweet
