TTC #2 - would anyone like to share the journey?

Yeah... we were pretty determined! Had been thinking about ttc for a while but held off for a couple of months as DS1 was born new years day and wanted to avoid another xmas or new year baby. OH also has a december birthday and late december for nephew and godson too. Makes the present buying season even more stressful!

8 in a row, wow that is a shagathon!!

Get to it mrsmugoo! Oh and i dtd for 8 days in row this month. It obviously worked.
I'm still lurking here as still not convinced about it being sticky. LiNe on ic now darker and appears in about 20 secs, but still spotting and at the moment am lying on sofa doubled up with stomach cramps.
How is everyone else doing?

Cd10 here and I don't have any opks to pee on at the moment but I've started to get a bit of creamy CM which is amazing as it may mean earlier ov for me (& longer LP hopefully!)

I knew I wouldn't be able to resist so I've got a new box arriving from Amazon imminently but I think we might start DTD yippee!

Hi everyone! Can I please join? TTC #2 CD 4
DS is nearly one and I can't wait to have another one now.

Good luck with anyone testing tomorrow. I'm still trying to catch up with the thread.

Hi - great to hear a couple more BFPs - just come home from lovely week in the sun absolutely shattered but going to have to find a little energy as CD 14 sure the next 2 weeks will go a lot slower - not going to pee on any type of stick till day 28 - if I write that hopefully it will stop me from buying and wasting excessive preg tests!

Good luck all and let's hear more good news soon x

Congrats Ellie!
Boooooo Diana :( but onwards and upwards. This could be your cycle!

Hi ladies keeping my fx for all of you. I have a doctors appointment on monday, can't book in at my local hospital without a referal. Going to buy some more tests today to double check before I go

Yeah ellie that's amazing! :)

Cd1 here finally!

Cb digi says preggo... But line on cheapie not darker so im still not convinced its a sticky one. Can only wait and hope now.
I did have horrible episode of being dizzy and nauseous this morning Though,but probably coincidence.

Good luck this morning ellie!

I have holiday curse and am awake already ! Lots of cramping overnight so just awaiting the inevitable when I drag myself out of bed...

Oh, that sucks Diana - I did have implantation bleeding with DS but I don't think it was heavy. More like pink mucus I think.

Still spotting... but still getting a pink line on an ic.
Asked OH how many lines he can see... he said 4!!!!!

Anyway, i have a clearblue digi to use tomorrow morning, then hopefully I will have a better idea if it is sticking or not.

I've read about Agnus Castus too, but decided to steer clear as some people seemed to say that it messed them up even more.
I took vit B6 in large doses, something like 100mg per day I think... way more than in a normal vitB complex.

Last cycle ov'd on cd18 and AF on cd27 - that was a good one!

Month before it was ov on cd17, AF on cd24.

I might try taking agnus castus - it's supposed to regulate progesterone levels. I've been taking bit b complex for about 3 weeks now.

Hi Ellie - how's it going this evening?

My body is still keeping me in limbo. What was pinkish watery start of af late last night and darker browny red but very light this morning has since lunch time totally stopped. One small iota of me is thinking 'implantation?' but with 3 bfns since Friday, cd34 and obvious bleeding I know it can't be. I'm not testing again. Something similar to this happened in a previous cycle so I'm expecting full flow tomorrow. But wtf is happening with my cycle? I've had 28,28,29,30 cycles and if I count cd1 as full flow tmrw it will be a random 35 day cycle.

When do you ovulate Mrs mugoo? I was cd 17 this month. And last month af arrived on cd21 - was not amused! Vit b6 in large doses can help to lengthen lp I think.

Ah ellie sorry to hear it's looking like a chemical :(

short luteal phase here too - 9 days was the longest one I've had for a while, 7 and 8 days not uncommon but I've tried soy isoflavones this month and bit b complex so hoping I can lengthen it a bit.

CD8 here so about another week of boringness before it gets exciting again. Oh how I wish I would ovulate mid-cycle like a normal person!!

My cycle has been much shorter since ds and I seem to only have a 9-10 luteal phase. Last month was only 7 days so I guess that's going to make it harder for it to stick at the start.

Faint line on an ic this morning with 4 mins. But still spotting and line no darker than yesterday (although appeared faster) so I'm still thinking chemical.

Ellie hope its fixed for you this morning :)

I've allowed myself a half hour madness this morning by testing 'just in case'. I've had a little cry, blamed myself for everything from running to drinking and of course googled a million things ttc!

I'm over it now. On to Cycle 5 we go. Changes for this month...
After half term finishes I'm going to stop drinking altogether. Tee-total.
I've ordered a recommended fertility book and bbt thermometer - I am going to have an intimate relationship with my cycle!
Going to stick with every other day but start earlier and finish later.
I'm going to do some research on diet for ttc - I'm thinking something along the lines of low-acidic?

I'm going to throw everything I can at it - I totally relaxed this month and have still ended up feeling desolate at the end so I figure I may as well be crazy all month!

Secondary. Sorry af got you
My 2pm was defo the palest of pink and within the time so not evap but I'm spotting this eve so think it's going to be a chemical.

Just got back from our time away and af is here .

I'm a primary TA Ellie... how about you?

Sorry you got a.bfn Diana. But it's not over until af shows up. Are you a teacher too?

Ellie I think I can see a line in the first photo too - fx!!!

Well I found an excuse to get out of the house and drive the 16 mile round trip to the nearest Morrison's but have just done a test and bfn. Also think I've seen the first hints of red tinge. Oh well. Glad I know now as I was seriously convincing myself I was pg. Dh being cool, calm and collected as usual suggested we just wait and see when I told him this morning.

Half term for me this week!

Did another at 2pm. Have changed the contrast to get around my phone camera being crappy. Surely this can't be an evap?
