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?

!! Those tests from today definitely look positive to me! 
Congrats Emily! Keep us posted if you test again. 
K+N, you give me so much hope. When I look up success stories for preseed, I find so many... And to be honest CM is something I haven't seen a lot of for years and it never dawned on me that it might be the cause of my struggle. Oh the joys of mid-thirties.

Kaybee- seriously- the joys of mid 30’s! 
shoot- I still feel like I’m young- how am I approaching the ‘advanced maternal age’ or ‘geriatric pregnancy’ stage of life?! Total nonsense! 
I wasn’t very good about using my preseed this cycle. Only used to twice, and that was 3-4 days before O. Maybe that’s why this cycle was a failure. Trying to feel spontaneous and sexy while also doing all these things to TTC can be hard!!

I agree. I wish I could stop "ttc", but truth is we time ovulation to favor a boy (we only bd when I get positive lh strips and from then on out as 2-3 day cutoffs highly favor girls). Of course it will be what it will be, but as a last baby with no sons, we are at least seeing how that theory works out. It worked for my sister in law the first try. Her son was born 3 days ago.
There is nothing sexy about trying to catch my lh peak
