Hey girls,

I fell pregnant by a happy accident unfortunetly baby peanut stopped growing and I had my D&C on the 18th of Feb. OH and I had decided to try again, but as peanut was a wee accident I have no experiance of trying to concieve. I have been looking through alot of website but Im not getting alot of information so I thought i would come to the experts. I was wondering if anyone could help with the following things:

I have no idea how to chart
Dont know the signs of ovulation
When to test
and anything else you can think that i would need to know lol!

Even if someone can advise a book? Thanks so much in advance girls xxxx

Hi and welcome!

Personally i think charting, doing temps and using ovulation kits all cause more stress when ttc is hard enough ;-)

I did all that stuff for yrs and i got pregnant the mth that i didnt think about it as i was too busy planning our wedding ;-)

Just make sure u take ur folic acid and have sex every 1-2 days and if u have the best chance then with no added pressure. Good luck xxx

That's what our plan is for now. Making sure I take prenatals, bd at least every other day, everyday when we know it probably counts.

can i take the same pregnancy ones i was taking? Lol i'm so clueless and oh just read this post and got over excited at bd everyday... He doesn't know if i can handle it lmao x

You should be able to take the same ones. Mine are just normal prenatal vitamins.

Go for lots of about 10-15 after your last AF started. Everyone is different but most people will fall somewhere into that timeline.
