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.

Third thoughts test test test .i have an aunt who always knows before anyone tests and gets a bfp especially the elderly people seem to either sense or see.Iike Gx said maybe you are glowing.l too am a bit over weight and am currently on a diet,hoping it won't harm baby if i get a bfp next week but i needed to do this now because once i get pregnant no telling if the my weight will be worse or better.

Third thoughts - they do say pregnant women have a certain glow about them ! X
But yeh u might also be tuning into what ppl are saying when it anything bby related ( becoz that's all we can think about lol)
There no harm in testing tho to see if they are right xx

Yay Gx91! :)

I've been feeling a bit self-conscious the last couple of days about what DH has named Schroedinger's bump.

I was recalling a conversation with a women at the bus stop earlier this week and realised she used the phrase "in your condition" the phrase had sat oddly at the time, but she went on to talk about her own health wrt being overweight, so I assumed she was talking about my weight, it didnt occur to me she might have thought me pregnant. But the conversation did involve her talking about her struggle to conceive, but I thought she was thinking about it because her partner was chatting away to my DC1

When I saw my mum last weekend she was making pointed comments about getting my DC1 used to spending time with other people (her?) "at the very least he'll need to be with someone when you go into labour with the second one". (She has said this kind of thing before, though not recently).

And the last time I saw my older sister (the weekend before) she was talking about her expectations during her second pregnancy. I thought it was a bit odd at the time and wondered if she was pregnant with a third, but didn't say anything.

AIBU to wonder if I look so pregnant that other people know I'm pregnant before I do? Hmm Or am I just paying attention to these little comments because I might be and never would have noticed them before and it is just coincidence?

Perhaps because I'm (very) overweight anyway, I don't spend lots of time looking in the mirror, and when I glance I'm usually standing in front of it looking straight on. So after I was thinking about the conversations above, I had a good look at "is it/isn't it bump" in the mirror, and I do have a firmer sort of curve above my more squidgey belly fat. I could look 4 months pregnant, or not be at all. I don't know!

Tell you something, if I'm not pregnant, I've got a lot of motivation to lose weight now! If I am, then I'm maybe showing early because of it being my second (stretchy) pregnancy with unfit muscles or maybe I'm further along than the 4-6 weeks I suspect based on symptoms and when we had been TTC. But DH reckons I could be as much as 8 weeks or not at all.

He reckons I've been short with him, which could either be AF or pregnancy related so isn't helpful.

I remember it being hard not to worry Loki, I hope that you can enjoy it once you have relaxed into it and the nausea subsides. It's all very exciting!

Gx that could be your BFP! Hope so!

Hello and welcome Sheep, nice to have you with us.

Sheep2345 · 11/11/2015 16:09

Hi,
New to this board and poor wifi so just adding myself on as ttc#2, we have a DD 2.5 and started on number two this week!
No idea when ad due so assuming next month we will actually get ourselves in order, was a bit of a quick decision, went for pre appointment and doctor took coil out there and then Blush

Gx91 · 11/11/2015 15:39

Thanks hoggle ! I'm putting the faint line to an indent now that Iv looked at it dry Sad will b 12 dpo tomorrow so probs test again but think it will b another bfn , oh well might need to just wait til the wkend after that and see if AF shows up xxx

HoggleHoggle · 11/11/2015 12:16

Hoping for you g!

Gx91 · 11/11/2015 10:38

Hang in there mini when can u test ? ( sorry if Iv asked u that before it hard to keep track this is a busy thread !! ) xxx

Loki17 · 11/11/2015 10:05

G - break the test apart and let it dry. As long as it has colour, regardless of how faint, it's a bfp. I have found that only frer give me an accurate result before af. Good luck! You too, Hoggle!

Mimilicious013 · 11/11/2015 09:31
