Anyone ttc baby no 2?

Sorry just read your post bettergetamoveon and it makes my complaint seem petty. Sorry to hear things are not great and wishing your dad gets better soon

2 days before AF due so used one of those tests you can do four days in advance. BFN.

In a bad mood now. Have been really tired this week and hoping it was a good sign, but it's all for nothing.

Well back to the drawing board again and awaiting the joy (!) which is AF.

Hope others are getting better news this weekend.

bettergetamoveon really sorry about your fil (and AF!) Can you at least have a large guilt free glass of vino tonight?

Not looking good for us this month. AF has just left the building so in theory we should be twi soon. However dh full of the cold, he's working away from home most of next week and now my terminally ill fil has just been hospitalised, so he'll be away tomorrow and maybe the next night visiting his mum and dad:( Obviously a baby isn't high on the agenda this month. Good luck to everyone else.

Dum de dum, just had my coil taken out so I can officially join now. Assuming my cycle will carry on as normal with the coil out, I think AF is due around the 9th of Feb...

Debussy That's strange. I had an unusually early period last month (25 days) - usually it's 28/30 days. But a week early? Are you taking B vits? Apparently these help with lengthening luteal phase.

I'm on CD23 and really irritable/emotional today. Worried it is another 25 day cycle and these are period symptoms. Need to seriously get a grip...

Bewler I guess not having the 2WW is definetly a silver lining. According to my chart I ovulated CD18 and AF came CD26 so that makes a luteal period of only 8 days which isnt long enough to sustain pregnancy apparently. I have to say AF is much heavier and more painful than usual. I'm irrationaly still trying to get my hopes up by clinging on the totally RARE stories on the internet about women having heavy bleeds before AF due and then still being pg! My rational head is saying, let it go dont be ridiculous!

Doodle I haven't felt unduly stressed this month, quite tired though.
Will see what happens next month. Bewler hope your cycle returns to normal or even better stops due to BFP!

DHead I know stress can affect AF have you been under particular stress this month?

Debussyhead that is exactly what happened to me last month. AF arrived on CD21. No idea when I ovulate as not charting but it must have been really early so we probably weren't even DTD around the right time!!! I have short cycles but the month before had been 27 days so 21 days was really short. Am on CD20 now so really it could come any time.....
No idea why that randomly happens. But (on the very dim bright side) it did spare me a week of the 2WW..
Sorry

Well thats me out. AF arrived yesterday 9DPO and a WEEK EARLY!!! wtf?! I am regular as clockwork always the 6th of the month so when I saw bit of blood yesterday I hoped it was implantation bleed but in fact has turned into full blown AF. Why would this happen a week before its due?! This has never happened to me before. Has this ever happened to any of you before?

This was our 4th month of SWI so feeling really dissapointed not least because it now appears my cycles totally gone haywire and I'll have no idea when to expect Ov next! I guess I'll need to keep charting and hope that give some clues. Like you say CWest will just have to hope for baby this year not this month!

Lots of luck to you all!

okaay, i give up. After YET ANOTHER BFN :( have decided my period is a wk late due to cycles being messed up coz of coming off the Pill, not coz Im pg. All pg symptoms I thought I was having have just vanished into thin air, so I guess that tells me all I need to know. Not happy about it as now I dont know if I am still ovulating, or when this will be, but have decided to accept that hopefully I will be pg sometime this year, not this month!! Does anyone have any help or advice about my cycle now, and should I still go Drs if af doesnt show in a couple of weeks? Good luck to everyone in this agonising situation, cant believe I have only been doing this for a couple of months, it feels like forever. Really feel for those of you who have been TTC longer and I wish you all the best xxxx

Hi there, can I join too? Miscarried in November but ready to start TTC again for DC2. DD is 17 months and a gorgeous handful!

Please can i join?

DH wants to start ttc asap, i've asked for at least March / April when DD will be 12/13 months. I'm bricking it. Need moral support or a big kick up the ass which ever is needed.

Horrid birth with DD, emcs and problems with me afterwards But thankfully all good now. Going to book at appointment with my GP as my CS scar hurts from to the time {is this normal} just to check if everything is good.

Are we mad.. DD will be about to hit terrible 2's and we'll have a new born?

Hope you all have good news soon.

RaJBP the wait is so frustrating! I am 9 DPO and had convinced myself that it was not going to happen this month as my temp fell below the coverline yesterday but since then I have read that there is a thing called 'implantation dip' when your temp falls sharply rougly DPO 7-10 days then goes back up again!! So maybe still in with a chance. Also creamy CM which is another sign and giving me some hope. I didnt check my temp this morning as had a rubbish night sleep and up half the night. If it remains below the coverline I'll know I'm def not pg. Must stop symptom spotting!

CWest I hope you get a BFP afterall! We need some good news!

Just an update, got another BFN today :-( Still no sign of AF, (now 4 days late I think) so really fed up. Determined not to touch another test til the end of the wk but dont hold me to that haha. Actually felt sick today, twice had to run to bathroom, but am sure I am imagining all these symptoms, after all, if I was pg, surely I would have had positive result by now? Todays test was a first response one. The only other thing I can think of is that I OV'D a wk later than I thought, (OH works nights so we only have specific nights to DTD) Again will keep you all posted, lets hope someone has some good news to share soon xx

Doodle :( Hope you have some good news this week.

I'm now 5/6dpo . Half wanting this weekend to come so I can test or not because I don't want to risk feeling disappointed in event of BFN. It's like waiting for an essay result when you've worked really hard to get a good mark iykwim. Half dread/excitement.

Still got sore nips, achy/pulling around the area just below my belly button and creamy cm.

It would be nice if it happened for me this month - baby's due date would be a couple of days after my 30th birthday.

Please let it happen...to all of us!!!

Poor Doodle. TTC is so exciting but its is so crushingly disappointing when it doesn't happen when you want it to. I am so awful at dealing with things that are out of my control. I'm sure it will happen but the waiting is really hard. Big unmumsnetty hug x

Thanks x

Oh Doodle I'm sorry you're feeling down today. Hope there will be some good news soon.

Oh I'm so in the doldrums today and no idea why. Can we have some good news from anyone to make it seem possible? Just feeling really "flat".

It just all seems so impossible and a little bit bleak at the moment.

Hi all!
So week 1 done of 2ww... Just another to go.. DTD loads, positive OPK.. Just got to wait. Had lots of cramping, disturbed sleep, excessive saliva (had that last time with DD - what's that about anyway?!) but Must. Not. Symptom. Spot. >

Good luck to you all x

Hi all!
would like to join this thread. been ttc #2 'officially' for about 6 months but have had a 'wait and see' approach for far longer. Ds is 4 and came along pretty easily so this makes a bit of a change!

Af is due around the 7th-11th Feb. I think i'm about 7dpo but could be 11dpo.

While naturally I'm not getting my hopes up too much, I can't help wondering whether the cramping, some nausea, bit of burping, patch of pink cm, and most suspicious of all, crying at the end of Mary Poppins ('Lets go fly a kite') are reasons to be optomistic??

Hi everyone, hope you had nice weekends. I peed on a load of Ov sticks this month but didn't get a smiley face but I hope that just means I didn't pee at the right time or something rather than no Ov! I saw a thread all about OV sticks that didn't work and that's cheered me up a bit. Am on CD18 now and my cycles are never longer than 28 days (last month was 21 days) so I guess i just have to wait and see. At least poor DH can have a few days off DTD! Its so hard not to get your hopes up isn't it. Must just assume I'm not pregnant rather than secretly assuming that after the amount of sex we've had this month we can't fail to be up the spout . Good luck everyone still waiting....

Hi all, I'd like to join this thread. Just found it and glad it is more current than some other ones I found before.

We are TTC no.2, DC is 20 months and this is 4th cycle of trying. It took 5 cycling to conceive DC1 so I know how frustrating it is when things don't happen immediatly. This is the first cycle I've been charting properly and already 'imaginging' sypmtoms -tiredness, sore boobs etc. I'm 8 DPO now and today my temperature fell so that means I'm almost certainly not pregnant this month as your temp is meant to remain consistently high post ovultation if you are pregnant right? I'll know for sure by 6th Feb when AF is due. Trying to accept its a BFN again to deal with not getting hopes up for another week. Great to hear all your stories and get some support. Good luck all.

I'm still waiting. AF due any time between Saturday and the following week as irregular periods.

Though in my heart I really don't feel pg and did with DS so quite despondent. Funny how TTC seems to pervade everything.
