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.

Looks like my period is coming today. Gutted! Was feeling quite optimistic. Wish I could fast forward the next week or so.

VictoriaArgus · 18/11/2015 17:31

Felt queasy every morning for a week but nope, BFN
Wish AF would return so i can actually ttc at the right time Hmm

TattieHowkerz · 18/11/2015 16:12

Do you know when you ovulated? Sounds like it wouldbe worth testing now!

MrsL2012 · 18/11/2015 14:54

I've not been tracking my cycles really, it took ages to go back to normal after having DS as I went on the pill for a few months then came off again, so my last 3 have been 26-28 days and this one is up to 31 so far!

TattieHowkerz · 18/11/2015 14:45

Good luck Mrs, not long til the weekend.

My cycles have been a little irregular recently, my period is due any time between now and Sunday. I usually 27/28 days, ovulating around day 14. Cycles have been as short as 23/24 days though. I ovulated around day 9 this time. I don't know if that means I'm overdue as I haven't been tracking long so I don't know when I ovulated on the shorter cycles.

Thank goodness for this thread, it is good to hear from others in a similar position!

MrsL2012 · 18/11/2015 14:03

I've bought the tests but am trying to hold off until the weekend!

SeriousStuff · 18/11/2015 13:58

MrsL2012 it's so hard, isn't it! Tattie I spent so much on tests when TTC#1, when is your AF due? I'm only just ovulating now so have a couple of weeks to go yet...

TattieHowkerz · 18/11/2015 13:52

I might go and buy a test later, but I'm trying to hold off as my period might not be late yet. But the bloated campiness is annoying. I felt like this early in my pregnancy with DD, but I also often feel like it when my period is coming!

MrsL2012 · 18/11/2015 13:25

I hate these crampy feelings Tattie! That and bloatiness! Is it or isn't it? When can you test?

TattieHowkerz · 18/11/2015 12:59

Serious, the earliest I would recommend testing is when your period is due, to avoid madness. But I tested at 9dpo, a week before my period is due! Negative. If I had tests in now I would be testing (14/15dpo). I don't so I am avoiding the shops and trying to hold my nerve. I feel a little crampy so either my period is coming or so etching more positive is happening.

MrsL2012 · 18/11/2015 12:16

Grrrr I'm at work and can't think about anything else!!!

SeriousStuff · 18/11/2015 12:00

Thought I'd be more laid back TTCing for #2, but after just a week, I'm already completely distracted by it all!

When is the absolute earliest you would test?!

Mimilicious013 · 18/11/2015 10:40

Hie Gx, how are you today ?

Mimilicious013 · 18/11/2015 10:40

Hie Gx, how are you today ?

Mimilicious013 · 18/11/2015 09:33

Morning ladies,hope you have a pleasant day.anyone with new symptoms or exciting stories ?

TattieHowkerz · 17/11/2015 19:10

Thanks Mimi and Gx!

I am early on in TTC. We started half way through my last cycle, but I don't really count it as I think we missed ovulation. So this is really cycle 1! I am impatient, probably because I'm 38, and also as I'd love to be on mat leave for DD starting school in August next year.

Gx91 · 17/11/2015 17:21

Hey ladies been a busy day so catching up X
I'm good thanks bit tired and wet Sad lol very rainy here in Scotland

Hoggle good luck this cycle hopefully it's a shorter one than the others for u enjoy all the sex !! X

Mimi good luck making ur butternut squash soup , they r a bastard to cut thru lol I should have got an axe !
TWW waiters hang in there and stay strong ! X good luck ! X

Tattie fx for u ! Bfn 9dpo means nothing lol unlikely a test can pick anything up , I did 1 9dpo thru to 13 I think and that's when I got my faintest of faint lines lol X

Mimilicious013 · 17/11/2015 17:04

Good luck Tattie hope u get your bfp.how long have u been ttc?

TattieHowkerz · 17/11/2015 16:24

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting to test!

I'm not sure how long to hold out for..

I'm on CD23. My cycles are usually 24 to 28 days. I ovulated early, around day 9 and had sex on days 8,9 and 10. So I have waited two weeks (ignoring the negative test I did about 9dpo Blush). But my period might not be due til Sun. I'm going to hold off a little longer or until my period shows up. But it is so hard!

Mimilicious013 · 17/11/2015 16:17

Hie Peyia hope your nausea is a lot better today dear. Gx how are you today ?your baby's loving the healthy food(butternut soup,im so making it tonight ).what's the latest MrsL,have u tested yet? Jp and Figgy hang in there.i the tww is the worst but fx u get an early xmas present of a bfp. Hoggle good luck with the new cycle.im on cd5 and the smeo this month so already geared to go. Third hope u good and baby dust to all the other ladies.

MrsL2012 · 17/11/2015 07:44

Ahhh Figgy stay strong! I have my fingers crossed for you. It took us ages to fall pg first time and it's so frustrating xx

HoggleHoggle · 17/11/2015 07:09

Sorry figgy that is really tough. I'm only a few months in and seeing pg women gives me a pang so I can only imagine how difficult you must be finding it. Really hoping this is your month.

Jp good luck! Hope you manage to stay chilled again, easier said than done I know.

AF has just finished here, last 2 cycles have been 35 days but they could equally switch back to 28 so we'll be dtd eod for a solid fortnight or so. Exciting, obviously, but am also exhausted at the mere thought of it! It's frustrating knowing that the last two months we weren't even dtd at the right time, not exactly helpful!

Hope all who are pg are feeling well.

Gx91 · 17/11/2015 07:02

Jp- I don't think anyone is calm during the TWW , I like u , was very much relaxed up until then and was sure I wasn't pregnant so was sitting tight until AF arrived X
Wishing u lots of luck tho and really hoping u get it BFP this time !
I had said if I wasn't pregnant I was waiting til after Christmas so i could enjoy all the food and drink lol so it's wouldn't have bn a disaster , no doubt when I had decided I wasn't fussed it happened Grin X
Figgy wishing u all the best that you get ur BFP at the end if ur TWW sending baby dust your way ! Smile X
Mimi , third and Mrs l - how r we today ? Xx
