Anyone ttc baby #2?

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, ttc baby #2 (1st cycle) and already driving myself wild with the tww. I wondered if anyone else is in the same boat?

I was so relaxed about baby #1 that the constant nagging thoughts about am I / aren't I are completely new to me and are making me feel anxious with symptom spotting.

Thought I'd see if there is anyone to talk to on here as my husband is quite matter of fact about there being nothing we can do to find out except for being patient - I know, he's infuriating right.

It'd be great to buddy up if anyone else is in a similar position.

Hi gx hope you're feeling better.

I hope its a good sign, this weekend ive started getting hot flushes, i never get these. And im feeling a bit snuffly, so hope everything is not me just getting a cold. I have spoken to people who get these before their bfp but i really dont want to start googling my symptoms as ill drive myself mad before i test as i have until the 15/16 december lol. Xx

Hoggle , hmm sound suspiciously like IB , r u not dying to test !? Lol X
Fancy - sorry AF arrived but glad u can see the bright side and get a good Christmas bevy before starting again next year X

Kellz92 · 06/12/2015 11:41

Mimi yesterday was lovely. I Had a not bad sleep, finally. Still getting cramps and ive never had this before especially this far away from AF, but we will see soon. Im only cd19 - 5dpo AF is due on the 16th so will try not test unti then xx

Mimilicious013 · 06/12/2015 07:14

Thanks hoogle ,u sure had a nice time yesterday.sorry for not having the drink kkk.was so stuck at home and i think today too.here's hoping your spotting is lB.good luck and enjoy your sunday

HoggleHoggle · 06/12/2015 06:49

Hi mimi I'm getting a tiny bit of brownish discharge now. Not sure what to think, I would usually get that before AF but the pink stuff before was unusual. I'll test on Tuesday, CD28, I don't think there's much point testing earlier.

Went out for a meal last night at a steak and seafood restaurant, not the most ideal place if you think you might be pg. Asked for my steak to be well done, really annoying if It turns out could have eaten it more rare! I also didn't drink just to be on the safe side. I would normally say well at least I saved money, but the bill was equally split and everyone else was drinking lots Angry

Good luck for you testing this week!

Mimilicious013 · 06/12/2015 06:18

Hello gx hope u slept well and dd is fine.am feeling so hungry and woke up early to think of what to eat kkk.are u still able to eat what u like or pregnancy is kicking in?google makes life so much easier for us.im so with u when u say u r always googling (week by week how baby is growing kkk).enjoy your sunday !

The last two nights have been bad for me.i have been in so much pain( terrible aches and cramps ) and i visit the loo thinking it's af but nothing yet.hoping to start testing wednesday if af doesn't show already.

Mimilicious013 · 06/12/2015 05:55

Sorry for af fancy ,its so disheartening !ttc seems to change cycles and last month had af show on cd25.(cheers) to your consolation drink !
Welcome running hope u have a short stay ttc.
Hey hoggle ,did the spotting stop yet.fx it was implantation and u get your bfp soon.

Kellz92 · 06/12/2015 00:42

Hi everyone!

Gx i hope youre well, feeling better?

Mimi i love spending time with mum, had a lunch with her my nanny, nannys sisters and my cousin today. They all had a lot to drink but i only had a few as still getting slight cramps. For once i have all my xmas shopping bought and wrapped.

Hope youve all had a good day! Xx

HoggleHoggle · 05/12/2015 21:03

Sorry to hear that fancy, I know how you feel, my AF went haywire as soon as we ttc. We've been dtd pretty much all month because there's no way of knowing when I might ovulate. Quite exhausting when you already have a dc, it's not been as carefree this time round! Hope you get your bfp in the new year.

Hello running!

And hello mimi, g, kellz and everyone else.

fancyferret · 05/12/2015 20:53

Hello! welcome to the board. I will join you with a consolation drink then focus on getting a BFP in Jan too Grin

Runningbutnotscared · 05/12/2015 20:49

hi guys. I'm new here, TTC no.2, 12 months after DS1 made an appearance.

I'm afraid this thread is way too long for my short attention span to read through. I hope to get to know you all.

I found the Dec 2014 ante-natal thread the best so hope that I can contribute and enjoy the journey with you guys.

Here is hoping for a BFP in Jan (and consolation Christmas drinking for the first time in two years).

fancyferret · 05/12/2015 20:34

Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing well. Seems there are a few of you coming up to test so I am keeping my fingers crossed for you all. I am out for this month as AF showed up a week early Sad I can't even be bothered to think it could be an implantation bleed as have all other usual PMS symptoms.

Its so typical that my periods have always been so regular until I started TTC now they are late or early and having a little bit midcycle spotting as well. I am trying to ignore it at present but think I may have to book GP appointment if it doesn't settle over the next few months. On a brighter note at least I can console myself with some festive Baileys.. sigh.

Mimilicious013 · 05/12/2015 16:22

Jp kellz hoggle peyia hope all is well

Mimilicious013 · 05/12/2015 16:18

Feeling like a bag of shit this morning , headache , sick and so tired DD kept me up nearly all night Sad what a sorry state , my mums coming to help me today as OH has to work X

How's everyone feeling today anyone gona cave an POAS ? Smile xx

Kellz92 · 04/12/2015 21:56

Gx i know such a mix of symptoms. I never usually get symptoms for AF. I normally just get pains once she arrives. But im never saying never as it could easy be her letting me know shes coming, or it could be in my head haha

Mimi i went to see my mum, then took my daughter to see Santa. I never slept last night so will be sleeping soon i think lol. Hope youre managing. When can you test? Xxx

Gx91 · 04/12/2015 21:02

HoggleHoggle · 04/12/2015 14:46

Hi all, bit of advice needed!

Am CD24 so v early for AF but have just been to the loo and wiped some pinkish blood. Is it too early for implantation do you think? I've never ever had such a short cycle so would be surprised if it's AF.

I also feel a bit thrushy - could it be that?

Thanks for checking in mimi! Sorry for being quiet, have been trying to minimise my hopes for this month so have been laying low.
