TTC tips for 2nd Pregnancy

Hi mama! Carla has shared some really solid advice already so I just want to add a few more things that might help. Firstly, at 30 with a proven fertility history you are genuinely in a good position so try not to let the negative tests get you too down. Secondary infertility is more common than people realise and does not mean something is wrong. A few additional tips: Track your ovulation properly. If you are not already using OPKs (ovulation predictor kits), start now. They detect the LH surge that happens 24 to 36 hours before ovulation and are much more reliable than counting days from your period. Cycle lengths can vary month to month so guessing the timing can mean missing the window entirely. Consider your lifestyle factors. Sleep, stress levels, and diet all genuinely affect fertility. With a 2 year old, sleep deprivation and stress are very real and can affect your cycle regularity and hormone balance. Even small improvements help. On supplements, beyond folic acid or a prenatal vitamin, some mummies find CoQ10 helpful for egg quality and Vitamin D is worth checking as deficiency is common in Singapore despite the sunshine (SPF and indoor living means many of us are actually low). That said, do check with your doctor before adding anything new. Give it time but also know when to seek help. General guidance is to see a doctor if you have been trying for 12 months without success under 35. But given you have a clear record and are actively trying, seeing your gynae sooner to just rule anything out is not a bad idea and will give you peace of mind. Rooting for you mama. Your number 2 will come! 🤍
