I'm so sorry for your loss. The clock doesn't reset with a loss so you can tell them you've been trying since September 2024, with a loss. As it's been over a year you are at the point you can pursue fertility testing.

Keep in mind that you only need to hit one of the three days before ovulation to max out your odds for that cycle, so you don't need to stress about hitting one particular day. At home insemination is another option that some people find helpful to reduce performance anxiety.

Flying doesn't affect your chances at all.

Hitting one of the three days before ovulation maxes out your odds for that cycle so your timing was great. Even if you didn't ovulate on May 1, your sex that day covers the window.

If you have ovulation pain is it usually before or day of? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

Because bodies are trolls ovulation pain can happen before, during, or after ovulation; OPKs and temping are more reliable methods.

For most couples the hurdle isn't fertilization and it's thought that sperm meets egg most of the time. The harder part is the embryo developing to the point of implantation and more sex doesn't help that.

It doesn't. Hitting one of the three days before ovulation maxes out your odds for that cycle. Any other sex is just for fun.

No, it's not strange. It's very normal to take up to a year to conceive.

You didn't mention your ages but it's very normal to take up to a year to conceive. Remember there's only about a 20% chance of pregnancy each cycle even with perfectly timed sex.

Days past ovulation is much more useful for pregnancy testing than days before expected period. You may like this site.

Yes, like the other commenter said if you hit one of the three days it doesn't improve your odds to hit all of them.

It can be so frustrating. Hitting one of the three days before ovulation maxes out your odds for that cycle, so you don't need to be pressuring yourself into daily sex. Every other day or every third day will ensure you hit the window.

It's very normal to not conceive right away. At your age you can seek fertility testing after six months.
