Download premom and enter your period info on there to get a better idea of your cycle. Definitely take folic acid. Take ovulation tests to find out when exactly you ovulate (don’t always just rely on your app’s general predictor). You can also do the following: measure body basal temperature every morning, take preconception vitamins, look up the SMEP method. Only do as much as you feel okay doing. For some they need something to do because they find waiting hard and doing all this testing is under their control and makes them feel better. For others it adds stress to the process so they don’t do all the testing and try to just have fun. Figure out what works for you and go with that.
All the best!
@Avneet will definitely get the app thanks! (Downloading it now!) In terms of the preconception vitamins - I’ve been trying to look into this. Is it just really folic acid and vit D that I need?
@Tanya thank you!
If you fancy some reading ‘Taking Charge of Your Fertility’ is really interesting! You can get copies second hand for not very much.
@Bethany I think so, yes
I did the SMEP method which worked well for me, basically BD every other day then peak day, ovulation day, and the day after, if you are ovulation testing. Otherwise just BD every other day. From looking at your cycle you can figure out when you can stop doing that in the cycle.
