TTC second baby

I'm planning on having baby #2 and I'm going off my pill this week- (it's the end of my cycle) How do I know what I am ovulating next? The last time I got pregnant, I got pregnant while ON the pill. I am wondering if this time will be the same?

Also, anything special I should do to help prepare myself?

Any help would be great!

Re: TTC second baby

I am working on baby #2, also. Coming off b/c may mess up your first few cycles. Not every woman is the same, but the typical leutal(sp) is 14 days. This means there is 14 days from the day you ovulate to the first day of your period. So, if your cycle is 28 days, then you ovulate on day 14, 29 days is on day 15, and so on. Some women have symptoms of ovulation, some don't. There are several ways to keep track of it. I haven't done this, but charting your bbt (basil body temperature) is one way to track your ovulation. I can tell by my cervical mucus. If it is thick, white, and stretchy, you are in a fertile phase. Also, it isn't accurate, but sometimes cervical position is a sign of ovulation. You may be in a fertile phase if your cervix is low and open.

After sex, lie flat or with your legs up in the air for at least 20 minutes. Sexual positions where women are dominant (on top) make conception a little harder due to gravity, but not impossible. From what I have read, missionary position is the best because the penis gets closer to the cervix.

GOOD LUCK!

Re: TTC second baby

We had a few months every now and then of "if it happens, it happens." This is my first "real" month of TTC. My son was born December 2004. That year we had several straight days of the temp being over 100. I was 6/7 months pregnant right in the middle of it. I would love to have a spring baby, too.
