If TTC # 2 has turned you into a nut job this thread is for you! (Part 4)

Hi! I've lurked a bit but am now very much reaching the point of going crazy. Just POAS this morning, convinced I was bfp.....

Bfn

It took us 7 cycles with our first and it's only been 4 so far this time but I was so convinced this month had worked. Symptom spotting like mad over the 2ww and I was having nausea, I was needing get up for the loo in the night, tender boobs, more tired, tingly nipples. Just goes to show how much we can fool ourselves.

You all seem very sure of your cycles. Do most of you use the opk's? I'm thinking about just using them for one cycle to give confirm for me when about i ov in my cycle but those of you monitoring regularly seem to be saying it varies each cycle.

Good luck to those of you still in with a chance this cycle.

It's very normal sebs. I get ewcm around cd 8 too. One month it started while I was still on my period and I ovulated on cd 8! You can also have ewcm for days before you ovulate so it could end up being around cd14 anyway!!
When I was worried about early ovulation I read this article about people from a religion who didnt have sex whilst on their period, but weren't getting pregnant. Once they did have sex during their period they got pregnant - so early ovulation works!!

Gunk still here... At least am not at work today

I know fedup, but I have read on here that in the first month the monitor has lots of days of high fertility. In addition now I know from the consultant that my breastfeeding (I only stopped earlier this cycle) is affecting the hormones at the start and end of the cycle it probably is all a bit out (so that was £100 well spent, zippy)

Too early for what sebs? Is DH away?

zippy your fertility monitor sounds a bit bonkers? 12 days of high fertility?? Maybe it's you with the twins this month as a result?!

Jumping on, hello everyone, and thanks for your replies about opks on part 3, definitely think I'll give them a go in a couple of months.

Keeping fingers and toes crossed for lots of BFPs!

i ov'd on sun and mon according to the fertility monitor, day 24(!) of a usual cycle lasting 27 days..so no surprise AF isnt here yet either way! had had high fertility since day 12, but only peaked sun and mon. I think AF will be here any day

oh good luck fedup! I think you will begin to have some symptoms soon, it is early days.

AF a day late here but I ovulated ridiculously late (clear blue fertility monitor and all other symptoms) so I am not testing.

Thanks sebs - DS loves trains so very appropriate in our household.

Thanks ladies. I do appreciate it. I'm trying so hard not to panic. It will get me nowhere! Poor DH is petrified too. I think he feels very out of control, as do I!

What do you mean, I'm green??? Everyone is the same colour to me on here...!!!

Good to get the pox out the way sebs. Ds hasn't had it yet! Hope sebs is ok though.

Me too 2be. Was so ignorant! Thought of names too. I don't think this time I will do anything until there is a baby in my arms. We don't need to buy stuff as we have it from DS. Even my mum who is usually the biggest pessimist is more positive than me - this has to be the biggest first ever in our family. I've told my mum, my sister and one of my best friend who is going through ttc hell too after mc and I couldn't lie to her, plus she's been ace.

With DS I had symptoms pretty much from word go.. And much less for mc baby. I know every preg is different but I actually want to be throwing up and having huge sore boobs!! Bring it on!

Sebs - I need some distraction - can you get a bfp this month please?! Sod the psychic and get preggers in December with twins!!! Xxxx

Well this is going to be confusing-I have it set up so the op is highlighted in green that's normally fedup!!

Yep, sounds like chicken pox, sebs. Hopefully he'll be fine - my dd was. 3 week in the supposed time between exposure and the spots occurring so sounds possible.

Love it sebs!!!! Fedup - there's no reason why this pregnancy will end like the last. In fact it's much more likely to be successful. I know it's a long wait but you need to almost forget about it (like you did with the ttc I guess). Don't think about symptoms, or lack of, as you know deep down there is no correlation.

In our house it's like the elephant in the room. Last time we planned everything by the 12 weeks scan (narrowing down names, deciding whether we would find out the sex or not etc.). This time we've yet to tell anyone - I don't even know when we're going to tell parents.
