Anyone ttc baby no 2?

Well i'm out this month, everything but legs will have to be crossed for next month now. I'm majorly disappointed although in my heart I knew that it wouldn't happen on my first month of meds. Good luck girlies, we need to see a few BFP's to give the rest of us a boost :)

they should be able to pick it up from the day your period is due. I'm 3 days late and had postive tests but the most compelling evidence for pregnancy with me is that my belly is like a balloon, which wouldn't happen to the same degree when a period is due.

How the heck i'm going to hide it until I'm 12 weeks I don't know! don't want anyone before as the last pregnancy ended at 10 weeks so feeling uncertain. It's a laugh a minute

thanks, will look at those 2, just find it all so confusing - the couple I have already done say "can detect pregnancy as early as the day after a missed period" does that mean the day after I was due to start my period, or the day after I have missed one completly? (ie if I was a week or more late) Either way have had a few negative results now, but still no af! However only about 3 days late so theres still hope! Def feel different, and do have early preg symptoms so just got to wait, whether I like it or not! x

yes Superdrug more sensitive than the Boots one

Fingers crossed CWest! I believe Superdrug's own tests are v sensitive...

Haha we already have an October baby, he starts school in September, but I have to have planned caseareans due to a medical condition so if this is the real deal, then baby would be here around the last 2 weeks in Aug. If it happens next time we are looking at end of September, (bad as hubby away for a week!). No I havent obessed over it much, honest! As everyone says, que sera, sera and all that, but easier said than done! Sure we will get those BFP's soon enough, we've done it once before!

Well as I said CWest30 I say this all without really believing it myself ;). In fact if my period shows up around the 11th Feb I am going to be gutted. I really want an October baby and seem to secretly believe that because it is what I want and we are trying that should be enough!

Thanks hun, I know what you are saying, and its nothing my mum and sister havent already said, I'm just not a patient person lol, and I think I convince myself I am preg because I want it so much haha. Told myself this morning I was going to relax and go with the flow til the end of the wk, and already I'm obsessing over forums etc looking for the slightest glimmer of hope! Jeez, I need help!

CWest30 don't lose hope petal! I know it is easy to say and not easy to feel but you have only had two period so up to two chances to get pregnant and that really is not a lot (I say this as someone who struggles to believe it too!! I got up the duff first time after my fake bleed last go round). Try not to panic yet. :)

Hi all, good to find an up to date thread, all the others are really old lol. We too are TTC for the 2nd time, (have a 4 yr old son), but no one warned me the second time doesnt run as smoothly as the first! Happened almost straightaway last time, came off the pill, had a fake bleed, then a normal period, then got pregnant. This time around, I came off the pill, had a fake bleed, then 2 mormal periods (27 days apart, I last came on on New Yrs Eve). So by my reckoning, I could be about 3 days late now. Have strong cramping down one side, and am very emotional, but thats about it. Have done 3 tests and all coming back negative so really confused. Never had a problem with irregular cycle or anything in the past, could always predict my period to the day and time! Sooooo frustrating, just feel like I'm going through the motions til my period/or a positive result happens. Been told that Boots own brand tests have a higher level of sensitivity so may get one of those tomorrow, but 2bh I'm fed up of getting my hopes up, AND wasting money on tests! Anyone else feel like this? And if not, just be warned that the second time is a lot harder, wish we had done it sooner now. Good luck to all, will keep you posted x

Hello,
We are trying TTC #2. althought #1 has a cold as has been up a lot in the night and I am not getting much sleep so I have a feeling my body is going to say no chance for a second this month!
I also think I would be ovulating this weekend and my DH is away, typical.
Still, we are trying in a fashion! This is our first month of trying.
R&JBP I am always the same, everything must mean I am pregnant! I got pregnant really quickly with DD and I think in my heart of hearts I think I will get prgnant really quickly again even though it has no rational basis. [waits for dissapointment emoticon]
Nice to meet you all!

Hi everyone

I am now 4/5dpo and my nips are getting progressively more sore - feel like they are bruised or burned. I am also having lots of cramping and creamy cm. Tell me...how am I not supposed to get my hopes with symptoms like this?

Need to keep telling myself that it might not happen.

Hi all

we have decided to try again here too, will be pregnancy #2, DC #3 though as had twins the first time, they are now 2yr 4 months and we are feeling brave enough to go again. Getting my implanol removed Tuesday {{{eeeek!!}}}

Good luck, lazzaroo and everyone else. We've decided it's time to TTC for #2 - DS is 2 and a half. Am already obsessed and I haven't even had the coil removed yet. It's coming out next week

Hi! decided to join you all as we have decided to go for number 2 and I was trying to be all laid back about it but now starting to get impatient (and it's only been a couple of months!!). We fell pregnant first ttime round really quickly so keep preparing myself for that to have been a one off. DD is now 2. We were going to wait for a bigger age gap but work circumstances (redundancy!) have made us decide to 'just get on with it!'

I do also have days htough when I think we must be mad as we are still so sleep deprived with mumber 1! but then...may aswell be up with 2 as 1!

Hope someone has some positive news to share soon.

Thank you RichardAndJudysButtPlug, your symptoms sound promising and it's hard not to get your hopes up so i'll keep everything crossed for you. I agree that it should be easier to juggle the attention with the age difference. Here's hoping for you.

cherrybird - Hi. My son is 5 too!! A great age gap as not only can you spend loads of time with new baby as older child is at school but I think they appreciate having a brother/sister more when they are a bit older. I know for a fact that my son will be sooo chuffed.

I'm sorry abt your PCOS, fallopian tube etc issues. Here's hoping the Metformin works quickly :)

Hello lovely ladies

Sorry to all those who unfortunately started their new cycle (I HATE abbr. 'AF'). Live it up a little this weekend and jump back on the wagon next week. You deserve it!

I am 2/3dpo (can't tell which as not charting temps - just using OPKs. I know it is far too early to be symptom spotting but my nips are killing me and I am all crampy in the ol' womb region. My womb feels all sensitive - like it is a bubble or something. I can't describe it any better than that. I couldn't get to sleep last night as am a habitual front sleeper and my nips and lower tummy region put paid to that.

Trying hard not to get hopes up but I do feel odd and am thinking 'am I dreaming it?' but I'm not. I know I can't be dreaming constant pain in my body.

Anyway we shall see. What will be, will be.

Oh can I join here too? DH and I are ttc#2, I have pcos, lost a fallopian tube and have a spinal condition limiting the amount I can walk. My DD is 5 and was born very preemie at 27+4 hence the long wait before feeling strong enough to try again. I have started metformin to help regulate AF and have started on the folic acid. I have a feeling these next few months will be positive for many here.

Morning! Cross today, knew I was getting pre-menstral but as AF still hasnt turned up thought it would be worth POAS... negative. Not cross because it wasn't positive, cross because I knew it wouldn't be and still wasted a test anyway! Hey-ho. At least I have a Friday bottle glass of wine!

I'm so grumpy today. Definately on CD1 today so you were right Chunkychicken I'm now at the starting line.

There was a thread recently about the brown spotting and some girls said B vitamins helped them. I've started taking a multi-vit to try and help regulate. Need to stop drinking wine because I notice a big difference when I drink. I like wine .

ConfusedMumDotCom I like your cheery optimism. This WILL be a good month.

Sorry confused, hopefully you ll have better luck next month, meanwhile enjoy the cheese and wine! I think I might be out this month as well, AF is not due until a week on sunday but already i m having my usual mild stomach cramps and bloating. My one hope is that my egg has nt implanted yet and I could still be in with a shot, according to the OPK I did nt ovulate until tuesday. I think I have a very short luteal phase though, which will make conception difficult, according to my mad internet googling. I am so fed up.

Morning ladies. AF got me this morning, but I didn't think I was pregnant so not too about it. I've got lots of cheese and wine and SWI to look forward too.

I hope you all have a great day.

Meant to add - probably not long now though Better and you'll be anguishing next month for a different reason!!!

Thanks R&JBP and I had that this month too Better (hope you don't mind the abbreviations). Glad you said that it was triggered by your diet/alcohol etc. because I've had a bad month through Christmas over-indulgence, a UTI and then getting Norovirus (although the latter was a GREAT way to lose the extra Xmas weight!!) so that probably didn't help my body know what it was meant to do. Hoping cycle #2 will be the magic number for us though.
