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

BFN. So maybe too early or maybe that witch really is on her way. Back to waiting...

Oh and very very good luck to you too - when are you going to test? Not long to go!

Hello marysprayer! Your username does indeed look familiar, nice to see you again :) well done on getting your DD down to one feed a day, how did you manage it? Mine is still really attached to the boob as a comfort thing - she'd probably happily be attached all day if she could be, and there's no regularity to her feeds at all....just whenever she's bored or tired! But I've heard that 18-24 months is the worst time for constant bfeeding.
Have you been trying long for no2?

Sounds really promising then mrsm!

Welcome wax. I'm still bf too (dd is 2.6 and only feeds once a day now though). I think we've 'met' on the ttc while bf thread too? I'm also in the tww (9dpo), you're right, time is standing still!

Good luck for this month!

Marysprayer - I did have an implantation bleed first time around and mistook it for a period which contributed to me not knowing I was pregnant for ages!
I will definitely POAS in the morning.

Welcome to new entrants - the more the merrier!

Oh good luck Mrs! Fx for you in the morning. I got my BFP with toddler DD using the First Response ones - think I tested 4 days before AF due

Hello ladies! waves can I join in?

I've got a 23mo DD, who still breastfeeds day and night like a newborn and barely sleeps. We were putting off TTC for that reason (it'll probably hamper our chances anyway...) but we're both broody and she's DESPERATE for a baby. Anyway we got a bit carried away last week and dtd, then I realised it was bang in my ovulation window. Instead of being terrified that we'd not gone with the plan, we were both super excited that we might be about to get a baby so just sealed the deal with another attempt a couple of days later :)

DD was conceived on the first cycle of trying (sorry, I know how annoying that must be to hear to many of you), but the circumstances are so different this time I don't know what to expect. Plus I wasnt doing ovulation testing this time, and my cycle is hugely long and irregular - anything 29-40 days :( am assuming an average of 35, putting me at 3DPO....am desperate to POAS and hate this waiting bit! Especially as I have no way of knowing when AF is even due, so when to test! Infuriating. Will you guys keep me company during this annoying 2WW??

Sorry, bit lengthy there! Congratulations to all of you with BFP, and good luck to those of you in the 2WW or still trying.

mrsmugoo it could have been an implantation bleed. 9dpo is the most likely day for implantation. I'm 9dpo today and have been symptom spotting even though I said I wouldn't.

FRer are 'buy one get one half price' in Superdrug. trying desperately to resist

Good luck mrs! FX for you.

My tiny bit of pinky tinged CM earlier hasn't materialised into anything at all so I'm debating poas in the morning. I bought a first response test today. Well a double pack obviously ;)

Mine is 14 months - he's just stepping right up on the tantrumming!

Congrats to the new bfps
patty I spoke to them today and they're sending my stuff. I think I'm due af tomorrow so hopefully it doesn't come and I'm pg or it's a few days late so I don't have to wait a whole month to use the kit!
mrsm how old is your toddler?

If I've worked my dates out correctly think af is due tomorrow, haven't really had any of the usual symptoms that af is coming but haven't had any pg symptoms either only thing is lower backache which I think I had at the beginning last time but can't remember. Think I might give in and go buy a test tomorrow if af isn't here.

So I've just been out to buy sticks to pee on but think the witch might be on her way...slight pink when wiping just now.
Gonna see how it progresses...

Def go pee MrsMugoo!

So how many signs can you reasonably expect in the 2WW? Being heaps realistic? I had a half day of shooty-diggy pains down very low in my left pelvis on Saturday, 3-day headache last week, boobs were v v sore but now tailing off a bit. Period due in a week. About now I might start to expect sore boobs and slightly irritable moods....

It's always between 25-27 days, last month was actually more like 24 which took me by surprise.
I'm quite excited by the prospect - I reeeeally just want to know one way or the other. Not knowing is torture and if AF arrives anyway then it's onwards and upwards to next cycle.

excited for you! Your first foray into peeing on a pregnancy stick (poaps) I hope it's a positive, is af usually very regular?

Cd27 / 9dpo ...still no AF and I think today I will buy a stick to pee on either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Well seeing as I've never done a pregnancy test, it would be quite nice to maintain a 100% record of no bfns!

It's a difficult one mrsmugoo, but i think the tests work on dpo, so you are probably best to wait until Monday or Tuesday.... step away from the tests! i guess though, it depends on whether you would prefer af or a negative test? fx for you that this is your month

Very boring cd 6 here!

Question: if you have a short luteal phase when do you poas? When your AF is late? Or after a certain amount of dpo?

Tomorrow AF is "due" but only 8dpo, cd26. Should I poas or wait?

I'm thinking I should wait til Monday or Tuesday. Wwyd?

Yay positives! I hope they are contagious. Congratulations!

CD20 here, lord knows what day DPO seeing as OPK sticks said nothing but staring, horrid circles. 9 days before period due - my boobs usually start hurting about now but they've been very sore all week. Weird. And had a 3-day headache which started after I swam on Wednesday night.

Who knows. Is there an average length luteal period? Seems I must've O'd fairly early (if at all) this time around.

Hello people!!! I have been lurking from.the shadows but wanted to come see how everyone is! Tango and queazy have joined me on the Christmas and new years baby thread! Which is brilliant. I come back and find two more bfps!! Congrats blue and char! Also good luck everyone in the ttw.

Have a fan hen do Diana! Also mrsmugoo I have two packs of 30 soy iso from tesco still sealed. If you pm me your address I can post them to you? We might be able to invoke sods law and you'll get a bfp a day before they arrive.

Sorry to everyone AF got, I hope its the last you see her for the best part of a year!
