Been trying for a few months, do people recommend tracking ovulation? Any tips never done it before

My little boy was luckily conceived first time which I am soooo greatful for, this time seems to be abit of a different story. Would love to know any tips and tricks. Is it worth getting ovulation tests, which ones and how do i do them? Or anything that helps try to convince?
I also have an underactive thyroid, but this is stable. So doctors said I should be able to conceive okay now, I’m so nervous about pregnancy with this. Which I didn’t have before in my last pregnancy, but apparently thousands of women do it. I would love so much for my little one to has a sibling.

Thanks so much for any help!

Negative right?

Please tell me this is negative, I was due on today but haven’t started.
It was taken with an evening wee though so I’m still worried 🥲

Starting first IVF meds

This evening I'll be starting my first shots, menopur and gonal F. I didn't get great instructions from clinic, I checked chatgpt and got some good steps. However I'm really concerned, what if I mess up the doses or something ? Any tips/advice. TIA

Would you say this is positive or negative?

Hi everyone would you say this test is positive or negative? I’m confused!

Positive test and propranolol?

Has anyone taken propranolol while pregnant? Its for my high heart rate

Ive scheduled my dr appointment to talk with them and made a ob appointment as well.

Guardians

Bit of a morbid question I know, but can I ask for those of you who have written wills -
Who did you put as guardian for your children and why? (In the event of both you and your partner/husband passing away).
Myself and partner cannot decide on who would be best. (We have different views.) So just wondering who others chose.

We are both in our 30s. So we are thinking if someone is to be a guardian our choices are in their 60s, so they'd be 80 when our children turn 18! 🫣

Does anyone regret having a second child?

My daughter is nearly 20 months, and I’m currently trying to decide whether to have another baby. I was always confident I only wanted one (and took a long time to decide on any at all, to be honest) but now I’m wondering if a bigger family would be nice.

I don’t have a gut feeling either way and really like our current life - we still travel and do lots and have lots of fun as the three of us. I feel like I can see lots of downsides of another (plus we’ve been extremely lucky with our first in terms of health, sleep etc), but I can’t help wondering whether adding someone else to our family is the right thing to do. We have a very small family otherwise, as both me and my husband have lots parents, which also means we don’t have a lot of support around us.

So I wondered, what are others’ experience? Has a second child made life better, or do you wish you hadn’t rolled the dice?!
