Anyone ttc baby #2?

988 replies

jp0303 · 20/09/2015 18:18

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 MrsL, it's exciting that you are joining us and could possibly be our next BFP!

I am in my tww Gx and can feel that this is gearing up to be a month where I drive myself mad with it. And we did so well at not getting hyped up about it all last month Hoggle! I am back to it being on my mind all of the time. I think it's because I really don't feel like it's happened this month, despite lots of dtd, I'm just feeling like it hasn't happened, but like I need to know that already and get down to trying again.

Thanksfor you Figgy, have you been able to talk to your other half for support? It's really hard wanting something so much and dealing with feeling bad for envying your friends who are getting it, not that you begrudge them having it, just you want it too. It's completely natural to feel sad that it hasn't happened yet and to get fed up. Be kind to yourself.

MrsL2012 · 16/11/2015 18:50

Got a feeling AF will show up tomorrow though!

Gx91 · 16/11/2015 18:13

Peyia I know what a terrible tragedy Iv been watching the news and listening to it on the radio X
Had a minutes silence in Aldis today when I was shopping X
Mrsl - have u caved after buying tests yet ? Lol
How r the rest of the ladies been quite quiet today ? Xxx

Peyia · 16/11/2015 18:10

Hello MrsL - you'll fit right in here!! No pressure to pee on a stick but gwaaaan!!!

I love this thread. It's stressful and exciting all rolled into one and I just get over excited with everyone peeing!!!

Sorry if I'm inappropriate...

How is everyone? I love butternut squash soup Gx. Hope it made you all warm and snuggly!

My nausea and sore boobies are back with a vengeance today. I was also a blubbering wreck for the minutes silence held at work in memory of those that lost their lives in Paris. So tragic :(

Gx91 · 16/11/2015 15:23

Mrs l - it's hard to have them close by and not test ! Good luv lol X
Mimi - I'm not going anywhere lol

Mimilicious013 · 16/11/2015 09:31

Fingers crossed for you MrsL and welcome.hey Gx we sure won't let u leave this thread till we all get bfps too!!

MrsL2012 · 16/11/2015 09:17

I haven't tested yet! I didn't get a positive until I was 12 days late with DS1 so not holding out much hope if I did anyway!

May go to boots and stock up on some tests today...

Gx91 · 16/11/2015 09:01

Hey Mrsl - have u tested yet ? I agree the body is a pain in the ass when it comes to pregnancy ! That would b nice if u had caught it straight away lol if the cramps r implantation u probs won't get a positive test for another day or two , good luck ! Xx

MrsL2012 · 16/11/2015 08:55

Hi! Can I join in? DS1 is 14 months old, we're not stressed about number 2, just more of a case of seeing what happens. Currently 3 days late but feeling a bit crampy. Why are pregnancy symptoms so much like period symptoms?? honestly not stressing, symptom spotting or counting days in my diary at all!

Gx91 · 16/11/2015 08:41

Morning all X
Jp- well done for relaxing and taking it easy ! Is that u in your TWW ? Hope u goes quickly and massive FX for u ! I'm hoping it's flies by too I want to know! Lol xx
Hey mimi how u feeling ? All fresh and ready to start again? Xx
Any ladies in TWW having symptoms ? I get so excited to hear about them and read all the TWW symptoms online before BFP !
Mine were minimal but the thing that stuck out for me was cramping 3,4,5,6 dpo Duno what was causing it bcoz it was too early for implantation , it was just out of the ordinary , oh and only one boob hurt X
Cm also changed but that was close to m BFP X
So excited to hear from u all and take u and ur BFP's to next thread ! Xx

Mimilicious013 · 16/11/2015 08:16

Hi everyone, hope you've all had good weekends.

Glad you cheered yourself up with a good time Mimi, sounded like you needed it. I am a bit of everything this week, taking the middle ground today as had a glass of red wine with dinner and a lager in front of the tv this evening, hadn't had a drink all through the week, but had a fair few last Saturday out celebrating dh's birthday. I don't fit into just one of my categories! I am cd16 today. I am already hoping the next couple of weeks fly by so I know / can start again.

I think that's a good name Peyia, hopefully we can all join you there soon!

Peyia · 15/11/2015 18:00

Ok girls I need your input because you'll be joining when you get your massive bfp's.

How about calling it Anyone preggers with #2?

Peyia · 15/11/2015 17:57

I blame fat fingers Gx. Are you on a phone? I sometimes read my post and think wtf?? I strangely understood what you meant Grin

Yes I'm not sure what to call the thread but was thinking it would be cool to carry this thread over for us? The July thread is brilliant with lots of lovely ladies but I can't keep up!!! Feel bad not addressing everyone when talking but almost impossible xx

Gx91 · 15/11/2015 17:50

Mimi I had a nap this afternoon with OH must have been feeling a bit moody earlier hopefully get some sexy time in before he leaves to work away again for the week ! Grin
Peyia - read u wer mibi going to start a separate thread from the July antenatal ? I'd come over with u the other one is super busy and I just feel bad I can't remember what to write to who ! Lol we heat to take over the women from this thread too when they get their BFP X I too like everyone on this thread Grin xx

Mimilicious013 · 15/11/2015 10:24

Third you just made me laugh now.enjoy your nap.

Mimilicious013 · 15/11/2015 10:19

Sorry Third about your symptoms,hope u feel better soon.could it be af trying to show.i sme times experience that before my period .how old is DC1?what diet are you on?im on the max planck diet.a little drastic but it gives good results.

ThirdThoughts · 15/11/2015 10:11

When DH said I was more short with him (before BFN) and that it might be a symptom, I was clear with him that IMO hormones don't make me unreasonable, they just calibrate my bullshit detector more finely and make me less tolerant of his BS. Wink

Anyway, he's looking after DS to let me have a nap, so better have a snooze.

Mimilicious013 · 15/11/2015 10:10

Peyia u made me smile there. 'fall asleep standing ' lol i'd swap places with you any minute.lately having trouble sleeping.(always planning how best to get preggo) Sorry abt the bloating and nausea.u must have frequent meals in small quantity.hope u will soon feel better. Gx hey there give dh some love !!i can only imagine how u feeling but a little sacrifice gal,he is excited and im sure it's his way of showing it.kkk
