How long have people been trying for and are people trying for #1 or #2 or so forth. It may be nice to share but up to everyone!

I’ll start, I’ve been trying for 18 months for baby number 1!

I’ve been trying for 16 months for baby number 1, starting to feel very disheartened and feel like it’s never going to happen for us 😭💔
 
No pregnancy in 4+ years with ex partner (unprotected then tried).
Fell 2nd month with current partner.
Became pregnant 1st month off pill when baby was 16mths old but MC.
Trying since for baby 2 14/15 mths.
I’m in my early 40s.
 
I’m still relatively new to TTC - 5 months with baby #1

fell pregnant on first month but that was chemical. Periods have been all over since
 
I’ve been casually trying for #2 for two years, really ramped it up in the past six months with tracking everything possible, had two losses and lost count of the number of chemicals. 1st child happened without planning so have been surprised to struggle as much as we have, I’m not a candidate for IVF or any NHS help so we have to try and figure things out for ourselves 🤞🏻
 
I'm 30. Been trying for almost a year. Pregnant twice but sadly lost both to early miscarriage

For as long as I can remember my cycles have been 33 days. My body has thrown me a curve ball this month and it's a 28 day cycle. 🤷‍♀️
 
Is this finally a positive ovulation? My cycles are all over the place and feel like Flo always gets my ovulation date wrong so tried this app and actually got a dark test! Was beginning to think I didn’t ovulate 😳 probs a stupid question but does that mean tonight is the best time to try?
I’m 28, ttc baby 1 and been off contraception for 2 years properly trying for about 6 months

Yes it means it’s imminent, yay you! Keep testing every time you go to the loo now until you see that first line start to go lighter again, the app should confirm it for you.

After this month and next you should know how many days you get after ovulation, you can change the setting in Flo to show a more accurate ovulation for you, the default is day 14 but a lot of women have a different schedule. Top left corner click on the circle, then cycles and ovulation, from there you can change your luteal phase, it’ll make it much more accurate for you
 
I think I missed my peak.
I had in my head it was 2-3 days off yet but I went to add a test to my app and it was predicted 2 days ago. Was poorly last week so must’ve just lost track completely but so upset with myself.
One saving grace was no serious EWCM so I’m 🤞🏼 it’s delayed.
 
I have a perhaps stupid question. I bought a bunch of LH tests from the pharmacy and the packet says that I should use one a day as soon as my period ends and once the packet is opened, they will expire after 30 days. This...can't be true right?? I only need to use them a few days after my period and then once the spike has happened, I can stop and use them again the next month, surely. They were the generic brand and were not cheap!!

They should be individually packaged inside your box. This is the seal they mean :)

They're not though! It's really weird - I was expecting the part you test to have to be unpeeled in some way, and I defautled to unpeeling it but it was just - card, nothing testable. They cost $25 and they were the cheapest brand available!

Are you able to get the east at home ones on Amazon where you are ?I know in the UK you can get around 50 strips for that price and they’re all individually wrapped
