Tips and tricks

Tips for TTC that don’t involve LH strips or BBTemp readings!

On cycle 3 TTC number 2, intercourse usually every other day, pre pregnancy vits been taken since July, aiming to drink 2Lt of water a day and eating fairly healthy.

Only bad thing is vaginal dryness so have ordered some Conceive plus lubricant.

Any other tips? Husband is T total and I’ve not drunk any alcohol since our holiday in June! Both non smokers and aged 31 and nearly 32

All you described is wonderful. I would just say maybe the timing? If you don't want to use LH strips, are you certain when you ovulate?
Funnily I have always known the exact ovulation day, signs were hard to miss. But the past few cycles my FLO app is definitely off and ovulation happens before or after predicted day and I don't even have the absolutely obvious signs, so if I was ttc hard - just me personally would defo use ovulation tests to be 100% sure we getting some loving at the correct time.

We used the clear blue ovulation tests and conceived the same month. You have 10 tests and start the day after your period ends. It shows a circle if there’s no point having sex, a flashing smiley face if your ovulation hormones are rising and a solid non flashing smiley face for ovulating in the next 12hrs. I was amazed - my peak day was only 4 days after my period ended compared to the health apps that estimated it to be a week later. No wonder we kept missing the optimal time! Good luck 🤗
