When to BD?

Happy February All. This will be cycle 7 of TTC baby no2. Can anyone advise which days to BD? I’ve read it’s not good to do it daily due to sperm quality? OPK is very low today so and blank circle on CB test. Is it worth starting tomorrow so 2nd, 5th & 6th maybe?

Trying for second baby?

Is anyone else thinking about trying for a second baby? We had issues conceiving the first time so I don’t want to wait until the “perfect time” because life doesn’t work that simply! I loved being pregnant and absolutely love being a mum, so can’t wait to do it again to be honest.

How after 7 months postpartum they became super irregular again, missing periods and now I’ve bleeding for last 4 months! Finally got my PCOS diagnosis yesterday after pushing...

TWW

Oh lord, here I go again. 5dpo and I’m hoping I can hold out for another week until I start testing. This two week wait every month is killing me. Just wanted to rally up the troops, cause I know I’m not alone in this. Let’s talk about how much we’re driving ourselves crazy with ifs ands or buts. Baby dust to us a...

Has anyone ever used this product?

Feeling deflated

This ttc business is hard work, I feel down, deflated and like it’s consuming my life. Another negative today and it’s just such a slow process. Another two weeks to ovulation and then another 2 weeks to find out it’s not worked again. I literally can’t think of anything else

Seriously too much to ask for….

That while I’m putting the baby to bed that you pick up and organize the toys and maybe clean the kitchen so when I come out I can relax and chill instead of spending 15-45m Doing it.? Like ughhhhhhh I’m so annoyed. I’m so sick of doing it all myself when I’m suppose to have a partner that helps. Instead they sit on...

Timings

This might be a super stupid question but, we have been told that my other half should have abstained from ejaculating for between 3 and 4 days before egg retrieval, which is fine, but how will we know when that will be? What if he hasn't ejaculated enough time in advance when we get given our ER date?
