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.

You're right Owl but I have no self control when the tests are there!! Also what prompted me to test was the fact I have been feeling so off and was told FRERS can detect 6 days before AF for some women.

I'm not disheartened.....yet!!

Maybe it's still too soon to test peyia.

Welcome third thoughts! Sounds promising for you too. What is ED?

My shy line attached. If you zoom in a zillion times and squint you might see a line, I can! Although I'm pondering that it might be an indent because apparently FRERS are known for that Hmm

Anyway I'm out of tests so will just have to wait until I'm late!!! My symptoms are still there. Was sitting in traffic with my windscreen wipers on full pelt and I started to feel sick!!! The sound just turned my stomach, no kidding!! If I'm not up the duff I'll just have to seek help on that one!! Shock

beckslovestimmy · 05/11/2015 17:42

I don't think I can as I'm in my phone (really not good with technology!!) it's called JULY 2016 babies. Hope you can find it

Loki17 · 05/11/2015 17:18

Thanks Becks, can you link to the thread?

beckslovestimmy · 05/11/2015 16:56

Loki you'll have to come over to the JULY antenatal thread. My EDD is 26th June but the June thread seemed way ahead of me! I still like to lurk here too. I was constantly knicker checking until the horrendous nausea/vomiting hit now that's enough of a symptom to reassure me!

Here's hoping for some more BFP's really soon!!

Loki17 · 05/11/2015 13:42

Thanks everyone! We've been trying for 3 months but two months properly. I knew what you meant kiki it made me laugh because the lovely nausea is kicking in already! I'm scared now and knicker checking every five minutes! Edd is 16th of July. My dd was due the 24th of July and arrived on the 31st so it is going to be an expensive month!

Peyia · 05/11/2015 13:34

Amazing Loki!!!!!!! So pleased for you Flowers

Have you worked out your due date? Grin

Me? Well I caved and done a test. I'm slightly deflated because it just looks like an indent of where the pink dye would sit!! Had to rush off to work but will take and pic and post later.

Still feel rough and stabby pain boobies Smile

Xxx

KikiShack · 05/11/2015 11:13

Meant that in a genuine way even though it looks incredibly sarky btw

KikiShack · 05/11/2015 11:13

Congrats Loki that's amazing news. Enjoy your lovely early pregnancy symptoms which will keep reminding you what's growing inside Smile

beckslovestimmy · 05/11/2015 09:49

Congratulations Loki great news!!! Thanks

ThirdThoughts · 05/11/2015 09:11

Jumping in! Grin Congrats to those who have their BFP, and good luck to those still waiting.

DC1 is 3 years and still BF. I've only had 3-4 periods since they restarted early in the year. It took a long time to conceive (years!) and my cycles were long and irregular then too.

We've just started DTD in the last month or so, after being out of the habit, and DH has just started taking medication for ED in the last couple of weeks. So it seems very unlikely... but I'm symptom spotting! Hmm

I've been feeling nauseous the last few days, found even pleasant smells a bit overwhelming, been tired (though that last one isn't unusual). I've had a bit of spotting, but not a normal period (and haven't had one for 3 months or so) Overnight I was almost sick, woke up with heartburn and now have a metallic taste in my mouth.

So if I'm not pregnant, I'm coming down with something. I think I might be pregnant, but surely it is unlikely to have happened that soon and with the ED probs DH was having!

After such a long negative experience of TTC before, I have an aversion to BFNs, so we don't plan to test until end of next week if proper period hasn't turned up. Already on prenatal vits and happy to abstain from alcohol (don't drink much anyway).

Had expected to have longer to get fit for pregnancy after deciding TTC so a bit nervous as I'm large, but would also be very excited! :)

Figgygal · 05/11/2015 08:22

Yay Loki how long have you been trying??

Gx91 · 05/11/2015 08:08

Yay Loki !!! FlowersGrin congratulations ! Really great you guys made it happen this month ! I was really sure those lines on ur other test wer legit but this test was a definite xx

jp0303 · 05/11/2015 08:07

Aaah that's cute Smile

DH was so cute! He came down stairs, got his breakfast and sat down to eat it. I got all nervous! when I told him he was so shocked and gave me a great big hug. All of my moaning about feeling like af was on the way had made him think we were out. It was lovely.

HoggleHoggle · 05/11/2015 07:02

Congrats! That's brilliant news x

jp0303 · 05/11/2015 06:53

Congratulations Loki! That has put a big smile on my face, I am so pleased for you!! Let us know how you tell your dh and his reaction.xx

Here is my bfp! The line is stronger and pinker than it comes up on the photo. I didn't need to break the test apart today. Thank you all so much for the support you gave given me. No one in rl knows we are ttc and dh doesn't know I'm pregnant yet so having you all to talk to has saved my sanity. I daren't move to the pregnancy board just yet so I'm hanging around here to see you all get your bfp!

Peyia · 04/11/2015 22:00

I'm too scared to test....think weekend will be better xxx

Loki17 · 04/11/2015 21:39

It could be caused by the post ov progesterone surge, Gx? I will be testing in the morning! I'm nervous!

Gx91 · 04/11/2015 21:17

R u girls testing in the morning ? Il b on here first thing too see your sticks lol

I don't think it could b the egg burrowing yet , I remember that pain the first time round it was a lot more intense , think I'm over analysing but I can def feel something lol just going to have to wait a week at least before I cave and test Grin xx

Peyia · 04/11/2015 20:32

Oh yes! I remember your story now. Bless him, sounds like my husband - just very matter of fact!

Ahaha yes what I meant was the white line. I can't see pink in mine whilst yours has a tinge! I've also just read that FRER's are known for having indent lines Hmm but that it could be very early or not pregnant....helpful! Ahaha

Loki17 · 04/11/2015 20:18

Ahem, have you seen my picture? its as 'barely there' as it gets!
