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

I've never POAS!

I'm pretty excited about it to be honest haha!

Hi millie - another POAS addict!! Yes thank goodness for eBay cheapies! I know what you mean - opks help the addiction a little bit - I can't help but be a little excited tomorrow to get the clearblue opks out for the first time this month tomorrow. That makes me sound very sad
Hi surfer! Hopefully you won't need the ovaries scan later this month then with you ovulating last week - fingers crossed for you - that must have been tough waiting all that time. I came off the pill in June last year and have had fairly regular cycles - 26-31 days - since but only started ovulation tests the last 3 or so months

Bluebell, if you have low progesterone, you can take suppositories for the first three months.. You need to get referred..

And cuppa.. I also find the buses a bit manic..

Hello all.. I'm 31 our little one is 2 and 3 months.. And she was conceived first cycle.. I've been off the pill since last May, but only had 5 cycles, so currently peeing on sticks each day and ovulated last week after 56 days, so have just had 21day progesterone test and have a scan of ovaries later this month (which, of course, I pray won't be necessary) but am trying not to worry until I have answers.. (Previous to #1 had 27 day cycles every month..). It's good to have other people in the same boat!

Also admitting to a POAS addiction here. Fortunately just the ebay cheapies so haven't spent loads on them but I may have got through about 30 in our first month ttc
Trying opks for the first time this month and seems to be keeping me calmer but not in the tww yet!

Yes fingers crossed avasmum! Christmas babies for us all here would be great!
So feel free to share your early POAS action here - I won't judge! Xx

Ahh really! Fingers crossed that this is a good month for us all :) lots of Christmas babies would be lovely! Xx

Exciting avasmum! That would be spooky! I was writing my ds's details on a form the other day and instead of writing his date of birth I wrote 22/12/2015 - it was so strange as I could see myself writing it and knew it wasn't right but it would be very spooky if I got pregnant this month as I would be due around then!

Thanks for the welcome Diamondsparkles :)

I too found the buses very busy so will be nice to have you lot to chat to whilst we are obsessing over peeing on some sort of stick

My partner had a dream the other month that we had a baby boy on New Years Eve so it will be spooky if I am pregnant this month as that could happen haha.

wound my dh is just like that, saying we're in no rush etc and we're not under pressure and I'm the one madly testing!!
Hi avasmum ha ha - I've done it that early before too - always feel guilty then do it again the next day! Sorry to hear about your mmc- fingers crossed you'll get your BFP this month. I'm way behind - finished AF recently so will have to satisfy my POAS obsession with ovulation tests this weekend!

Hello :) can I join too please!
My DD is almost 5, I'm 25 and TTC number 2, this is officially our first cycle and I'm 5days post ov. Guilty that I POAS today although I knew it was way to early and would be negative and if my DH knew he would have not been happy! Haha. My DD was a surprise, and then we had another surprise which ended in MMC end of last year, then took a break and this is the first ever time We will have actually planned a pregnancy and I'm so impatient. Xx

I've got one test at the back of a cupboard which I bought as a pack of two when I last convinced myself I was pregnant (I wasn't its not that easy) am hoping to hold out til dpo14 but have a low expectation for my willpower. DH keeps saying lets take it easy no need for pressure etc etc he lacks a sense of urgency in most things though so understandable!

Thanks Emma xx
Yep - I'm totally guilty of early testing too . I always say to myself that I won't test then have no willpower and end up spending a fortune on tests early. I would be very proud too if I got to 10dpo but know I would never manage it!!

Yep I am guilty of that

I know what you all mean about the tests, I've spent a small fortune on them. I'm refusing to buy any till 15dpo this time as that the length of my luteal phase. But if I get to 10dpo I'll be proud! Anyone else test stupidly early just in case?

Thanks you diamond hun means a lot:) baby dust to you also xx

Hiya birdbrain and emma
Glad it's not just me!! Yes DH would go mad with me too! Luckily he's blissfully unaware of the crazy I go through with taking lots of tests
I start with the cheaper ones, then convince myself they're not working then end up getting the more expensive ones,spend ages checking for any tiny hint of a line and on it goes until AF arrives.
Fingers crossed for you Emma!

Thanks Sarah I would be over the moon if I was pg but I thought i was last month and was disappointed when evil af turned up! Just got everything crossed that I am if not will try again next month :( I am the same im so bad for testing and buying tests just incase! X

Diamond I'm like that as well. Even though I've only just stopped taking my pill so I did know before it was incredibly unlikely every time I get any symptom of any sort I manage to convince myself I'm pg. If DH knew how many pg tests I'd done over the last year he'd go mad I stopped telling him ages ago about all my imaginary pg!

Lol at safety shagging
I'm also hoping that if we have #2, he/she will be a good sleeper. DS is 4 and still not great at sleeping, didn't sleep through until 2.5 and still sometimes doesn't. Was in our room at 3am this morning, although I think the wind woke him up.

cuppa about safety shag!! Fingers crossed for you. I'm still waiting to ovulate so am a few days before I can even get into the TWW!! Wish it would all hurry up!! Although I must confess I turn into a crazy lady the last few days of the TWW and convince myself that this is the month every month so am going to try not to be as bad this time!!!

Emma I hope you do get a bfp, but if not we'll be here to support you.

I hope we all get good sleepers. Dd was a good sleeper, so I think number two will be a mega bad sleeper. Truth be told I don't mind how they sleep just as long as they happen. Still utterly flummoxed as to whether I've ovulated or not, dh thinks I must have but who bloody knows. Gonna have a safety shag tonight and tommorow and hope for a big rise in the morning. I wanna join the 2wwers now!!!!!

Thanks carrot I will wait until Saturday starting getting a bit of bottom back ache tho so don't think I wi be pg :(:( xx

Am also hoping for a good sleeper dd is a shocker - she very rarely sleeps through at 2.5 I thought we'd be well past it - but there we are she is otherwise perfect and agreed with pp If I had to pick id go for marvelous toddler over sleeping baby. I'm just starting the TWW have spent all day having to firmly reprimand myself for symptom spotting!
