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

Hi Tango - yep, I've done those too!

I got 15 internet cheapies when we decided to TTC #1. We were lucky in that the first on I peed on was +ve. But it meant I had about 12 left (obviously I then peed on another couple in the following days!). I think I'm down to about 6 or 7 but they are years out of date and probably wouldn't work anyway. Still, nice little bit of loo-based chromatography!

Hi indomitable I also was supposed to start TTC later. (July) but whipped my coil out early (Feb) mainly because I'm the most impatient person alive it was annoying me . So we're supposed to be "seeing what happens", but I'm not really that good at it on account of mostly knowing when I ovulate.

Don't feel bad about your over optimistic stick-peeing. I've been known to go to loo, stick in hand, discover sneaky AF and POAS regardless. I also once POAS in a month when I hadn't DTD.
Superdrug is basically funded by me. Single handed.

Congratulations Cuppa on your BFP's!

Congratulations cuppa what brilliant brilliant news where was that list we made about the brilliance of a christmas baby!!
Shagathon starts in the bobbin household tomorrow - 1st month of using the smiley face sticks

Congratulations CuppaSarah!

Hi to the new folks.

I've been lurking around. I even POAS the other day despite still having the coil (had the mega-boob) - but they're 3 years out of date and I may as well piss on them before chucking them!

Original plan was to actually start TTC in sept, but I think I might whip the coil out in July due to my "advanced age" - DS was a one-try wonder but that was 5 years ago. I listened to an inside health podcast the other day and the guy pretty much said at my age my eggs are all decrepit so I better get on with it!

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying reading all your updates. Only a few months till I can join in! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the congratulations! I know the feeling birdbrain, I'm usually the one feeling that way. My periods are stupidly irregular has 3 in the last 6 months I think. I hope you join in pregger land soon.

Birdbrain21 your periods sound just like mine. I'm terrible for symptom spotting too. I didn't plan my #1 and now I'm planning my #2 it doesn't seem to be happening :'(

Bug hugs cuppa Sarah
How lucky are you???!

Also DH made cheese toasties for lunch today and I'm really not in the mood, I went off them when pg with dd but I think I'm just trying to convince myself now! I was so determined to not drive myself crazy with symptom spotting but it's so hard :(

Cuppa congratulations on your BFP, seeing the pictures your posting is not helping my temptation to test, but I anyway don't have any in the house and not sure I'm going to get out today.
My periods have been all over the place and this is first cycle off the pill so I know it's unlikely but I got pg so quickly last time I can't help hoping my nausea is pg related this month although I often feel sick when AF arrives as well...I think my period is due this week but not sure because of being irregular someone talk sense to me whether i should by a test or not!

You wow Cuppa! Massive congratulations on your BFP!

Soy iso is soy isoflavones. They apparently work.like clomid for a naturally stronger ovulation. You take them for five days at the start of your cycle. Most people take them cycle day 3-7 in gradually increasing dosage. Which gives you a stronger ovulation. It worked perfectly for me. Got my strongest ever opk and 4 bfps!!

Huge congrats cuppa That's amazing news! Can I ask a silly question - what's the soy stuff you're referring to? xx

No doubt about it now! Got a digital to do in the morning but I'm officially pregnant!!!!

We used soy iso this cycle and I have loads left. If anyone wants it it's there's along with a handful of ic opks!!! Gonna be a mega new year in the cuppa house!!!

Morning all, welcome Charchar and Tango

I'M so sorry about the MC Charchar, it must be hard when people around you are getting pregnant, but you are not alone here! Vent away

Tango, I'm not charting either but I generally get OV pains as well so we'll see how that goes. Fell pregnant quickly first time, so never go round to neurotic charting/temping then!

Congratulation Cuppa, so pleased for you. 2 BFP's together is pretty certain. Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months

Hope you feel better soon Mrsmugoo

Sorry AF got you diamond, new month, new hope

Nothing too exciting here, CD 10 so entering the shagathon

Have a lovely sunny Sunday everyone

Congraulations cuppa that is definitely a line :) you must be over the moon

Not much to report from me... still no AF (CD30) but not testing again as certain i'm out this month :(

Thanm you carrot! Did the second one in the pack and another bfp even with dilute wee!! If super drug opens before boots I am so going there. I got my first bfp with Dd on super drugs own. Eeeek its really real isn't it? Two bfps in a row can't be coincidence.

Thanks guys! The line has faded as the test dried which has me a bit worried. Its still visible though. Eeeeek I'm just gonna let myself get excited.

Congratulations cuppa!! That's definitely a line. Happy and healthy 9 months to you, and what a fab edd !!
Sorry not been on much, cd4 here af got me again so been in a right grump

cuppa - I see a line! Well done! How exciting. Yay.
(You're not helping me resist testing, feeling queasy this morning, but probably because I just had coffee on an empty stomach and have been up since 5)

Aw carrot thanks for the newbie cake - all that shagging is a chore! I just don't seem to find the time (we're rarely in bed together thanks to DS) so this TTC #2 will take years of snatched sofa-shags at this rate.

I don't get sore boobs either. On account of mine being pure plastic. (Dbl mastectomy) so no early indicators for me there. Makes "feeding choices" a non-issue though.

Last post I promise, but dh sees it!! It's a line!!!! I looked up my due date and its gone and been new years eve!!! New years eve!!! I was early last time so i might have a tiny little Christmas baby. Eeeeeeek

Sorry, this is the best photo I could get.

10dpo and there's a second line...it's pink! It's very faint as you would expect for so early. I'm not celebrating yet, going to get some frer when the shops open. Gutted I threw my wee away this morning. This might be it.
