TTC tips?

Been TTC for 6 months. Taking pregnacare for this month I’m in my ovulation window and it’s closing soon. Can you please tell me what’s worked for you if anything, im gutted it hasn’t happened already as I’m 21 and had my first at 19. I’m doing the devils tango once every couple days too and looking at my CM to track ovulation.

Stop tracking via cm & get some ovulation strips & preferably start tracking BBT too. I say this because I tend to get egg white After ovulation & for a few days after too, so, it can be unreliable.
Him: for optimal sperm health ejaculate no more than once per 24 hours but no less than twice a week (can have a week of duration your period). CoQ10 200mg once per day, a men's multivitamin (we used Wellman original, doesn't need to be TTC specific) & if it's still taking a long time D aspartic acid 1000mg 3 times per day for up to 90 days.
You: 200mg 3 times per day (don't take 600mg at once, there's only so much your body can absorb, space doses out) take a prenatal multivitamin or folic acid starting at least 3 months prior to TTC. Mediate & relax at least half an hour a week, or 5 minutes per day preferably.
& bare in mind it's like trying to roll a 5 or 6 on a dice. You'll have to be lucky for either number to come up straight away. But keep rolling & that 5 or 6 will come up eventually. Good luck 🤞

No Village

To the Moms who have no village- no help to step in at all- how do you do it?

We’ve been very fortunate to have always had regular help from my in-laws but due to ill health that help is no longer available. We were so extremely grateful for their help and often found ourselves saying we don’t know how we’d do this without them. I know the privilege that is and it most definitely wasn’t taken for granted

I’m extremely nervous about it. In the most difficult of days, I had a countdown in my head to those days they’d come give us a break and that helped me so much. Now there is no countdown and there is no break and I’ve never had to do this before

Any practical advice would be greatly appreciated; I have a 6 month old and a 2 year old

Fertility clinics are expensive in Nottingham

Is a NHS fertility clinic ok? Or is it better to go to a private clinic?

I feel so confused about ivf clinics as I have had 2 children naturally.

I never expected to pay to put a baby in my uterus. Crazy 😵‍💫.

There a clinic in Manchester seems loads cheaper than Nottingham I don’t know why. But I’ll need to do it in school holidays because I can’t have time of work.

3 years trying to have a 3rd so stressful wasn’t expecting this.

I’ve been for a private scan, I have high egg reserve. I just want my baby, 3 years now 5 losses. Pissed off. Fed up.

Baby #2?

I’m currently 3 months pp almost 4 months pp. I slipped up and didn’t check my Flo app before doing the do and when I went to log it, it said that I’m at my highest peak for ovulation. I am highly worried about getting pregnant this soon after having my daughter. I live with my family and it’s already tight with my daughter, my boyfriend and myself, I really don’t know how I will have another baby in the room.

Clearly it’s too soon to test because it was the other day but this is literally the same time last year I got pregnant which would mean they would be close in birthdays within like days.

I am honestly stressing so any advice? Or words for reassurance?

Does anyone regret not having more children than what you have? Or is it the opposite?

I’d love to keep this friendly and not argumentative. Free opinion zone.
