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

Ooh and gp appt booked for Mon am for me.

Blue I got my bfp for my DD on a super drug, I really rate them. Fingers crossed for you Carrot

Who's due to test next??

5:2 not 5:3 haha

Carrotpuff - saw your wave in the 5:3 thread! I've only just started doing it, seems like a no-brainier though! Really want to lose about a stone and a half to take me to pre-preg weight but if I get pg again soon who knows what will happen? Still, eating clean and no boozing can't hurt my chances of conceiving can they?

I thought I had all but ruled this cycle out as. Unlike my previous early pregnancy, I'd had no implantation pain (5dpo last time). I'm 9dpo, bfn this morning.

However, at 2pm today, I had the stabby sensations for a few seconds and I've had some pinky brown discharge just now. Ah!

My luteal phase is 12 days, so I've got to wait until Saturday. It doesn't help that I feel rough with flu like symptoms (hot/cold), but that is definitely not pregnancy related.

Come Saturday, should I use internet cheapies first? Are the more sensitive than Clearblue? I only have one of those. I've heard good things about Superdrug ones. Anyone recommend them? Thanks ladies

Thanks ladies! Pain is just as bad today, thought I was going to pass out at one point this morning at work. Going to go to the docs as it can't be normal for it to hurt when you wee or sit down. Thanks to whoever posted about the clear blue trial, I've been accepted onto it today, they're sending me some paperwork.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Sorry AF got you patty.

It's boring beyond belief here at cd4! I can't wait to get on with this cycle. Have acupuncture booked for Saturday and hoping it will help. I have low progesterone but have been temping which confirmed ovulation but I think my levels are too low for anything else to happen so hoping acupuncture will help.

I'm on the buses too but feel guilty moaning there as so many of the ladies are ttc #1. Whenever someone announces their pregnancy it's always followed by questions of why I'm taking my time! Er, I'm not it's just that my body isn't cooperating with me!!!

Me too MrsM

Welcome Dizzy, my dd is 2 1/2 too.

4dpo here. Boooooooring :(

Patty so sorry to hear the witch has got you :( chocolate biscuits and ibuprofen for you then onwards and upwards to the next cycle x

Thanks for the stats mrsmugoo

Hey dizzymerry - welcome :)

Really sorry to hear that wound it is so hard when people announce pregnancies and you're trying. Nearly as bad as when people ask you when you're having another one and tell you to get a move on! I mentioned earlier in the thread but 4 out of the 6 of us in my antenatal coffee group are pregnant!! Plus two other friends outside that circle! Sometimes hard to grin and be pleased - but I am now the initial "ouch" has gone if that makes sense.

Sorry the witch got you patty

I'm 11 dpo! And took all my available will power not to POAS this morn!! Not sure i can promise same for tmrw lol - is 12 dpo too early!?

Well I certainly know AF is here, the pain and bleeding is unreal. Even painkillers and copious amounts of junk food aren't helping I know so many people that are due around Aug/Sept/Oct, I can understand the jealous feelings too and so want it to be me but I'm worried that my body's stopped working because I'm too old.

patty I'm the same - never sure when to count CD1! I usually go for bright 'you know it's started' day!

rae I think we may only get 3 good attempts in this cycle. I didn't use OPKs, just went by last month, and now by other symptoms I think I must have ovd earlier than I expected...it only takes 1!

wound and mrs it's so hard isn't it managing the mixture of emotions.

Welcome dizzy!

I've had a really good day today :). I struggled yesterday - worried that ov had passed due to my cm being thicker = lots of googling! I felt annoyed with myself as I was quite moody and distant with dd because of the stress of ttc. I've been much better today - busy at work, planned activities for after nursery (actually spent time googling 'lovely activities for my 3 year old' rather than 'why have I not got ewcm'!) and went for a run/chat with a good friend in the sun this evening. I'm in the 2ww but just trying not to 'wait'! What's done is done!

Welcome dizzy!

Can I join please? We are ttc #2. Took 3 years to conceive DD but hoping we have some good news in the next few months.

34, cycle 14. DD 2.5 years. Currently on cd3.

Woundbobbin, I just don't know what I'd do if another of my friends announced a pregnancy, especially if it's a 2nd :(

I know I'm only on cycle 2 but I've longed for a 2nd ever since pretty much the day I took DS home from hospital.

Patty hope the bleeding settles.
Rae Fx for you.
Someone at work just announced she is pregnant with twins by emailing out her scan picture obviously I'm very happy for her but my first response was to want to cry. Hating the fact that I'm so jealous. Why is it so hard why can't I just have sex and get pregnant.
Sorry for the rant. Am making myself feel better by having an extended lunch break with tea and a copy of grazia don't tell my boss!

Raeside ugh those annoying opks!! Hopefully you have ov'd and dtd on the right days -fx fit you!

Thank you for the stats MrsMugoo....

CD16 here and still a circle on the OPK. And I've got killer sore boobs - it's 2 weeks before my period is due....Lord knows what's going on. I usually get sore boobs a bit more like for 7-10 days before my period. So odd. Anyway we've done the deed on day 13, 14 and 15. Should I bother with any more do you think?

Good luck to the rest of you in the tww...

Carrotpuff still spotting fairly heavily but it's not bright red blood so I don't count it as cd1 yet do I ? All symptoms have died down now though, so were def in my head! Thanks for the stats mrsmugoo!

Sorry Diana!

Yep DS seems to be better today, nursery said he ate all his food and his nappies are back to normal.

I'm feeling the pressure of the tww here too - really stressing about short luteal phase. I'm only 2dpo but AF is due next Tuesday. Been googling it all day. Really need to step away from doctor Google.

Next month I think I'll try vit b complex and soy isoflavones and temping instead of opks.
