Should I give up?

[fluffymum]

I had AF at my 'normal' time for the first time since having Lily then about a week maybe just over I felt like I was ovulating; higher sex drive, looked better in the mirror (one of my signs lol)
We bd'd and after the second time I felt like we should just stop trying which was a sign with my first born, then I had 'symptoms' very quickly after like the next day or two.
So I'm thinking are all the times out? Was it too soon to be ovulating, could it just be all my hormones up the creak I duno
any help ladies x

its really hard to tell best time, have u tried keeping a record of your basal body temperature, as the two times ive conceived was using that method and the longest it took was 2 cycles, 2ndly both times i had symptoms of ovulating but acording to docs my scan dates show i actually ovulated at a completely different time

No i havent done the charting this month, just went with how i felt, i thought i was ovulating but that was about 10 days after af so im not sure, oh well time will tell i suppose, i dont want to start trying now (i wonder if im ovulating now instead of preg symps) as the baby if all goes healthly would be born at the end of december which is when my daughters birthday is lol.

It depending on how long your AF lasted and how long your cycles normally are.

If you AF lasted 5 days and then your cycle lasts 28/29 days like mine do then that is cd 15 which is spot on for when i ovulate

Well since using washable san pads my af is far shorter and much less painful (they're magic things really they are), I'm all over the place with dates at the moment what with breastfeeding and getting back to normal after my daughter was born, she's 15 months so i just dont know, it seemed normal this time, I'm assuming I've probably hit something though as they say sperm lives for 5 days so hey ho maybe maybe.
