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

I'm a bit crap with temping too but I got a clear rise the day after my peak reading on the opk and its stayed high ever since. We timed DTD just perfectly so I'm happy with everything this month it's just so boring waiting.

Hi MrsMugoo - cd18 here, I've been temping for the first time but I think I'm a bit shit at it and not exactly sure what I should be watching for!

So I guess I'm about 4po or so, I think I was pretty on it with knowing when I ovulated this month.

Last month I was 'listening' to my body sorta ott-style so I'm just going to try and chill this time. We will be on holiday when af due, but annoying!

Just checking in here. 5dpo and starting to get quite anxious. Hate the tww!

No symptoms apart from being unfeasibly exhausted, but that's from coming down with a cold + hay fever I think.

How's everyone else doing?

Anyone testing soon? Could do with a new BFP in this thread!

Congratulations on the coil removal indominable. Exciting times!

Thanks Raluca I do my best to remain stress free, just a little disappointed this month as i conceived DS on cycle 2 and irrationally hoped it would be the same this time. For the record, I am lucky enough not to have suffered a loss so not a rainbow baby for me, just an ordinary squishy one

Torfhinn I really hope you get your rainbow! Just try not to stress! I know it's easy to say it but stress is the best contraceptive these days.

Torfhinn & Marmite

I've just had my coil out! I'm dead excited! Though it's CD17 so a bit late really.

Shall I buy some ICs? I've got a few left from DS but they went out of date in 2012! Or will it be jinxing it to buy anything at all?

CD 1. 'Nuff said

Well we certainly did our best last night! Thing is I think it was too early for me to ovulate if I look back at 2 previous months so I think I'll keep having a good time again.... and again this week. Maca root seems to uplift my mood but then again dh said I am always in a mood for it ??

fingers crossed for you torfhinn, it sounds promising and hope you managed to catch the egg raluca

I have finally accepted I'm out this month after a few days of denial- AF was early, and only red for two days which is v unlike me (usually more like 6-7 days) and then light spotting for four days. POAS yesterday even though I knew there was no point and of course BFN

Just checking in - 3dpo here so not a lot going on. I feel quite relaxed about this month. If not successful this month then taking a month off ttc next month I think as ov will clash with Glastonbury.

My best friend came over last night who's been trying for #1 for nearly 2 years and is just about to start hormone drugs as she's been diagnosed with low LH hormone. Kind of put everything into perspective really. I couldn't imagine what telling her I'm pregnant a 2nd time would be like

Thanks Torfhinn Fingers crossed for you, that sounds very much like implantation to me! I'm much better now. The police have interviewed the guy that hit me under caution and I have 2 witnesses to say my lights were green, he should have given way and didn't. As for me CD 26 today, no symptoms at all so just waiting as I usually start spotting on day 26.

Carrot I am always ready to have good time. I noticed before my 2nd mc that opk is + since day 7 until day 14-15 and as such I can only say I ovulate by temp spike (I used an ovulation microscope). My body seems not to cooperate with me

Is ok Torfhinn. I still have a +opk today. .. hopefully it is not too late this month

So now I'm convinced I have AF cramps and nausea. So, obviously, I am both pregnant and on my period . This is going to be a looong few days!

Sorry, I can't help Raluca, I don't use OPK's or temp, hopefully someone else will be along with some advice x

Oh! And according to my chart yesterday was a temp dip (36.1) and today went up to 36.5 and I am on cd8.

Gutted! I didn't get to dtd yesterday as ds was taken ill. So question :as yesterday was a faint second line do I still have time? Today dh comes late (and probably shattered ) so is tomorrow late?

Hi all, welcome Tfoot, Tt, Marmite, Nicely and Raluca!

Glad you got the solid smiley Mrsmugoo! Fx for this month.

Hope you are feeling less sore Patty

Sorry about AF Carrot, at least you can have

As for me... I'm confused . Woke up at 3.45am in the morning for a wee - wiped and got bright red blood. I'm about 4-7 days before AF due (CD25) and probably 9/10 DPO. This morning it has turned brown. AF normally starts with brown, not red. So, is it a super early AF thats being a bit weird, or can I get my hopes up about implantation bleeding? Not feeling like AF is here, but have no pregnancy symptoms either.

So even with my slightly dodgy temping I got a clear rise today confirming ov yesterday. We DTD yesterday and the day before so fingers crossed!

If my cycle ends up being 27 days again that would give me an 11 day LP which would be my longest ever - so I guess the vitamin b & soy iso has helped

2ww here I come! (Again)

Luteal not literal, bloody autocorrect.

I don't know, I feel like because I'm 35 now I'm throwing the kitchen sink at getting pregnant as soon as I possibly can. I'm only really doing it because I have been getting very short literal phases and without temping, a doctor isn't going to take me seriously as opks only test for LH surge, you can only confirm an ovulation with a thermal shift.

I didn't so temps or anything last time and it took 18 months. Wondering if it's worth it this time or if it adds to the stress? What do people think? Don't want to be too obsessive and settings myself up for disappointment every month if I'm in it for the long haul! Might get lucky quickly this time though I suppose.

I'm going to need to set an alarm because my temps are all over the shop - can't really even confirm an ov with what I've got on my current chart.

I am temping as dh wakes up @ 6.30 every day so I temp when he wakes up
