Trying for a baby - how often do you try during fertile window?

Hi mummies, how long did it take you to conceive your second child? I’m turning 35 this year and we’ve been trying for a few months now. So far, we’ve been trying 1–2 times during my fertile window, and I’m wondering if that might not be enough given our age and stress levels. QUESTIONS: How often did you try around your ovulation day? Did you try only on or just before ovulation? Do you also try on the less fertile days or usually wait and try again in the next cycle? Thank you! #Needadvice #pregnancy #Conceiving

if your period is regular, start trying 5 days before your ovulation. If possible, try every day leading up to your ovulation. For my 1st kid, I got lucky and got pregnant from the 1st attempt. For the 2nd kid, got pregnant within 4 months of trying. Gave birth to my kids at 33 and 35.

Hi! I strongly recommend getting ovulation test strips to check which days are the best to try. Don't need to get the expensive ones, get the cheaper ones and test every day nearer to your fertile window. We tried based on the test results and managed to conceive on the 2nd month

have you gone for pap smear before? i was ttc for years back then and got to know that i have some cells growing on my cervix and it could be cancerous over time. hence, i got my cervix short - underwent a procedure. 3 months later i got myself pregnant - 2 years straight..

I tried on the day of peak, once. Pregnant within the first try. I uses both ovaluation strip and clearblue to ensure consistent result

can buy ovulation test kits and start trying a few days before the peak and also during the peak.

During fertile period can try every alternate day
