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.

Gx that is wonderful to see your BFP!!! Congratulations, I'm really happy you've got it!

I wonder if people are seeing it in you Third, loads of people told me that they knew before I had told them I was pregnant with ds, some people are very astute. I did look greyer and greyer each day of my first trimester though so I think that was my giveaway rather than the glow I was expecting hoping for! I am gagging for you to test, I don't know how you are managing to restrain yourself. Can we persuade you to POAS?!

Mimi - hope it's implantation ? And not AF Sad let us know what the outcome is x
Bf is amazing ! I lost my pregnancy weight with DD very quickly but then also put bk on a bit in the last 2 years ! Also bn doing workout DVDs and change in diet habits while TTC and cutting out alcohol also helped loose 8 pounds in 1 month !!
Shame it will b for nothing coz if I'm prego il get bigger again haha X
Third thoughts - def sounds like u had implantation bleeding hope u get ur BFP very soon ( tomorrow if u test!Grin), I haven't noticed any diff coloured discharge and have bn checking ( TMI)
I didn't get Implantation bleeding with DD either X

Think it's just ur Donald Duck , u can do everything right and not get pregnant or no really b trying a fall pregnant lol hope u get there sooner than later bcoz it can get pretty strenuous ! Are u using anything to determine ovulation? Xx

Mimilicious013 · 12/11/2015 11:10

Thanks Third.ever since i stopped bf dd at 12 months i just started gaining weight and she is 23 months now.i had a terrible pregnancy coz i threw up until the day of delivery.it helped me on the weight though because i never gained as much as i could have.hoping i still have a chance this month.and waiting on your bfp tomorrow

ThirdThoughts · 12/11/2015 10:45

Mimi, I had spotting a couple of days last week. I also had this when pregnant with DC1 so don't rule yourself out unless AF comes in proper.

Good luck!

ThirdThoughts · 12/11/2015 10:39

Getting test tomorrow! So either Fri (if we can't wait) or Sat morning. :)

I'm eating very healthily for me (mainly trying to make sure I eat plenty of fruit, nuts and veg and cut out the sugary crap and keep to sensible portions). But also making sure I am having enough calories not to be depriving me/DC1/possible baby. And I'll carry on eating like this if I'm not pregnant because it would be good to get healthy and fit for pregnancy (and LIFE!) If I am pregnant then sickness is likely to kick in properly at some point, so I'll do what I can. (Last time sickness continued to 20 weeks and I lost weight till around then, slowly put on to the end of pregnancy and then was lower than booking in weight a week after birth).

Lost 3lbs this week :) I think trying to get more healthy whilst TTC is good (it was what I planned to do, didn't expect to think I might be pregnant first cycle) as long as your diet is with your health in mind - so looking after yourself and having a decent diet - rather than anything too extreme/faddy.

I aim to eat around 1800-2000 calories. Which is not necessarily a 'diet' level for slimmer women, but because I am much heavier maintenance would be higher so I do lose. Plus still BFing, and its important to me that my body feels it has the resources to be doing both that and getting/being pregnant without stress.

SeriousStuff · 12/11/2015 10:25

GX91 that's a positive in my view!

SeriousStuff · 12/11/2015 10:23

We started TTC properly for #2 last night (been careless over last few months, but have never coincided with my ovulation days). Definitely think I'll be more neurotic this time round. Especially as I've heard so many people say that the first was easy but the end took ages...

Mimilicious013 · 12/11/2015 10:20

Just been to the loo and noticed some brownish stuff.could af be coming on early.im only cd24 and due testing on the 20th.omg!think i might be out this month mmmmm
