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.

I've written this month off opks still showing nothing and although this should be frantic TTC time dh had had man flu and we stayed at in laws last night so that ruled out any naughty stuff. I'm drinking wine tonight to cheer myself up lots of wine

Sorry meant today

Mimilicious013 · 07/11/2015 08:40

Morning Gx.how are you today,any new symptoms ?Hoggle and Peyia have u done any test tomorrow ?thirdthought fx for you!baby dust to all.

Gx91 · 07/11/2015 08:22

Thanks for the feedback Loki and Peyia ! I'm still not getting my hopes up just incase can't remember having cramps last cycle until days before AF arrived X
Thirdthoughts - fx for you it doesn't take as long this time , that must have been hard for u both x
I can't imagine it being too much of a problem if he can still ejaculate as long as the sperm get to the egg, have u tried lying with ur legs in the air and bum after sex? Maybe encourage sperm to swim down? Iv heard this helps X
Really hope u get your BFP soon Wink X
Peyia have u tested again since the other day? Did u get your BFP ? Smile xx

Peyla

ED = Erectile Dysfunction. It's a new problem for us, he has Diabetes which can affect blood vessels and we hadn't been DTD for quite a while before (mixture of co-sleeping part of the night with DC1, and DH being unwell and not in the mood) so didn't really realise. He was able to ejaculate, but obviously it was difficult to have proper penetration.

We had had some sex like that, then he got prescribed a few pills. We've only used two, and I was already symptom spotting before the second time. So if I'm pregnant I think we've been really lucky. It took almost 6 years (trying on and off) to conceive DC1! So realising he had developed ED now made us wonder if it would ever have another.

Spotting hasn't turned into AF yet, though I feel less sick. So we'll see. Trying not to get my hopes up too much. I had a lot of BFNs when TTC DC1, so want to leave it a while before I test to give AF a chance to turn up.

Fingers crossed for us all x

Peyia · 06/11/2015 17:50

Sorry you've had a shitty week hoggle. Wine is the perfect pick me up so hope you feel better soon.

Gx your symptoms sounds promising!! I have been getting mild cramps on off. FX!!!!

Loki17 · 06/11/2015 16:51

I had what felt like af cramps from 6 - 10 dpo. I had sore boobs that became stingy too.

Gx91 · 06/11/2015 14:20

Aww hoggle sorry about the BFN they r so disappointing although ur not out until AF arrives !
I have to ask the now pregnant ladies on this thread - did any of u feel cramping from ovulation to BFP ? Iv been having mild cramps since my positive OPK - I'm now 7dpo X
I'm really hoping it's not a bad sign
AF should b due in a week if I'm not pregnant Sad xx

Mimilicious013 · 06/11/2015 13:31

Hey hoggle,don't lose hope yet.these bfps like to show their faces when you least expect.fx

HoggleHoggle · 06/11/2015 10:57

It was 35 last month. I would usually have a bit of hope but me and dh were apart during the time we would need to have dtd with a later cycle, so I'm pretty sure I'm out this time. Gah!

beckslovestimmy · 06/11/2015 09:59

Ahh Hoggle that's disappointing and sorry to here your little ones keeping you up. I guess your not out until AF arrives. What CD did it arrive last month?

HoggleHoggle · 06/11/2015 09:36

Urgh, BFN this morn. Not a surprise but disappointing nonetheless. No signs of AF at all so am guessing I'm on another long cycle. CD30 atm.

Ds unwell today and wa awake from 11pm-4am last night. All in all it's been a shit week! Lots of Winefor me tonight and then I'll work on positivity from tomorrow!

Mimilicious013 · 06/11/2015 08:34

ThanksGx.seems like you and peyia are the next on line to get your bfps[loads of baby dust].when do you plan on testing ?

Gx91 · 06/11/2015 08:16

That's meant to say fx to us not yet pregnant and congrats to the ones that are lol xx

Gx91 · 06/11/2015 08:10

Welcome newbies good to have u guys on board ! Wishing u both luck for this cycle ! Smile
It's cd25 for me today and still having mild cramps since positive OPK , it's too early for me to b testing but hoping it's not an early sign of AF coming Sad I felt a sick yesterday at the thought of eating lasagne for t but I don't know if that was a symptom only other thing is having really stressful dreams ( doing my head in) probably all coincidental Confused X
Peyia I can see ur line ! Hope it turns into a BFP ! Really had a feeling we were both going to get it this month when we relised we wer both having the sm cycle days lol still holding out hope! X
Owllina - well done for resisting testing last month I spent a fortune on tests ! I'm not doing that this time round lol but it is really hard! Good luck to u !! X
Mimi - I think that's all we can do is dtd as much as possible ! It's annoying we can control what happens after that ! think CM is a good one to go by bcoz sperm don't survive long in anything other than EWCM , good luck to you ! X
Seems like we are loosing a lot of the girls to the pregnancy forum so this thread is a good one FX to all of us not get pregnant and congrats to all the ones that have Grinxxx

OwlinaTree · 05/11/2015 22:12

About day 23/24 I think peyia. Af due Mon/Tues. I'm going to hold out and not test till Fri next week if no af by then.

Mimilicious013 · 05/11/2015 21:08

Thanks peyia.i only use the ovulation calculator and check out theEWCM.am not good at temping but i do try to dtd every other day.

Peyia · 05/11/2015 20:09

Figgy those damn opk!!! I honestly believe I missed my surge so you might be experiencing the same. They are not 100% reliable by themselves in my opinion. Are you temping??

Welcome Mimi!! Good luck to you. Waiting is the worst...do you track ovulation?

Mimilicious013 · 05/11/2015 19:58

Hie ladies.im a newbie and would like to join in please.im currently on cd18 and have been dtd everyday since af stopped.i have been ttc for 4months and i see this is a lucky thread.congratulations to everyone with their bfps.baby dust to you all ladies.seriously dreading this tww

Figgygal · 05/11/2015 19:53

Grrr peak day on my cycle according to chart yet negative opks I might stump up for a digital test. Dh has man flu so no chance of TTC tonight anyway I suspect

Peyia · 05/11/2015 19:31

Where are you in your cycle Owl?

Peyia · 05/11/2015 19:30

My cycles usually average around 29-30 days. Last month was fairly early at 27 and I'm currently on CD24. Never got the + on the OPK but I think I missed my window for testing as I got ov pains on CD13.

I know I know I know!!! Too soon....oh well there always needs to be one crazy POAS addict on these ttc threads Grin

OwlinaTree · 05/11/2015 19:22

I never got a bfp till well after I'd missed a period, so it doesn't mean it won't happen. Fx for you! When is af due?
