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.

DH is desperate for another. He would have had one by now if it were up to him! I was the one dragging my feet, then dd started school and the broodiness hit me like a freight train. He is just so cautious with everything. Last time, I got a faint line like this one and he wouldn't even acknowledge it until I did the digital on the day af was due and it spelled it out. I wanted to talk about it and he just kept telling me to calm down and not to get my hopes up. This time I want to show him the digital and hope that he let's himself get excited before he starts worrying about all of the things that could go wrong.

Thanks Gx and Owlina!! I'm starting to convince myself. All my symptoms coupled with the 2nd line is giving me hope. I am still grounded and could accept it might be an evap buuuuuut it's a line so I'll take that for now.

Does anyone have any experience of FRER? As in got the 2nd barely there line??

Gx, cramping was my last sign. It's too early for AF so it could be egg burrowing! I now there are text books timescales for this ttc malarkey but everyone is different!!! Will keep everyone crossed for all of us Flowers

Peyia · 04/11/2015 20:06

That test is dry.....it was dug out of the bin......I showed my DH and he said 'nah, doesn't look like the pic on the box' ahahaha!!! So black and white but I like to torture myself with the grey area. I guess we'll see but I definitely feel off!!

Sorry Loki. I don't remember everyone's story. Does your hubby want another? I only ask as it sounded like you were nervous of telling him? I'd just stick the stick under his nose Grin

OwlinaTree · 04/11/2015 19:59

Excitement peyia!

Gx91 · 04/11/2015 19:56

Oh I'm getting so exited for u both ! I can see lines on both of ur tests ! I don't want to get ur hopes up incase I'm wrong but even with the cheapest tests Iv never had an evaporation line so always thought any line is a line ! Keep testing over the week and see if it gets darker Grin would be great to have 2 BFP soon !!
I'm miles away from testing bcoz I only ovulated I think on sat ! Just want to join in POAS lol
The weird thing Iv been experiencing is cramping after ovulation , still going today don't think it's a sign of pregnancy ? I'm hoping it's not a sign of AF already becoz that should b 12 days away , I'm obv having a long cycle this month due to late ovulation X
Anyone else get mild cramps for the next 4 days after ovulation? Xx

Loki17 · 04/11/2015 19:42

Peyia wait for it to dry a little. It is easier to see. When I got BFN on a frer there was nothing at all their, even broken apart. I can see yours!

I do have 'the feeling'!! My boobs are agonising! I have had the sensitive smell or food causing nausea this time, that was my first sign with dd. This time I just done fancy chocolate, we're as last time the smell made me feel sick. Are symptoms always the same? I havent told dh yet. If I show him a faint line he will be all sensible and tell me to not get my hopes up and wait and see. I want to be absolutely sure. Not sure how to do it either!

Peyia · 04/11/2015 19:15

Hey girls!

Loki this looks so promising! Keeping everything crossed. Do you have the feeling??

Figgy, just get to it I say. Temping is good for tracking but as long as your dtd regularly you will have done as good as anyone that gets preggers!

So I did not take my own advice and slightly stressed out when I never got a smiley on my CB OPK. However, the weekend before last I did get what I thought was ovulation pains. Anyway as I recently said, I have been feeling really really off. Like can't drink Shock anyway I have no clue what my DPO is but have been feeling hot, bothered and nauseated. My other tell tale sign from previous pregnancy are my fizzy volcanic boobs!!!

So I took a FRER. BFN but because I have gone slightly loopy and google mad I pulled the test apart and saw this. The line is not pink so I know that means a negative but I am now wondering (hoping) it is the beginning of something.

Anyone ttc baby #2?
Gx91 · 04/11/2015 12:21

Nice Loki I think ur in it for the BFP in a few days ! I def see the line on a zoom Grin X
Figgy that's what to do just keep dtd every other day and u should catch it , I didn't get a positive OPK until cd 19 so don't worry X I'm in the TWW now hoping the OPKs were correct ! Xx

jp0303 · 04/11/2015 08:42

Yay Loki! That sounds like a good result!! YY to doing another one tomorrow, I would be buying a pack of cb and would have probably got through them by lunch time Grin Here's hoping that those lines keep coming!

Keep testing !!

Already forgotten to take temp twice this week, opks are showing nothing according to dates this is the time to crack on ttc so will carry on regardless.

HoggleHoggle · 04/11/2015 06:54

That sounds promising! I'd def keep testing.

Loki17 · 04/11/2015 06:34

Faint line is there. And it's slightly pink which doesn't show up on the photo. Now 5 he test is dry I can see it more clearly.

Loki17 · 04/11/2015 06:03

So here is thus mornings frer. It has the faintest of faint lines. Photo isn't great because it is so faint. I'm not even sure I'm not imagining it. It's just when I tested last month with a frer it was completely white - starkly BFN. worth getting another for tomorrow do you think?

Anyone ttc baby #2?
Loki17 · 03/11/2015 17:50

Thanks jp and Gx! Still holding out hope!

jp0303 · 03/11/2015 17:24

Oh Loki it's so confusing! I'm still keeping fx for you, I was so excited when I saw your photo.

Kiki, dh and I had to do a teenager style silent one with mil in the next room in our first month ttc #2, I could not stop laughing! It was so much fun and still makes me giggle now. Hope you have as much fun as we did!!

Loki that's meant to say a stronger line in the evening than in the morning ( not long up ) Confused xx

Gx91 · 03/11/2015 08:19

Loki - it's not over yet ! With my first pregnancy I had a stronger line in the evening rather than at night so don't rule anything out X Iv never had an evaporation line before either X good luck for testing in the next few days ! X
Peyia - good luck to u ! I'm not sure either , dtd lots on the day of +OPK but nothing on sun so if my surge was Sunday I may have missed it too , kinda relying on the survival of sperm bcoz bf working away all week X
hoggle - I think it's pretty rare to get many first symptoms so I wouldn't worry , when r u due to test ? Would b really lovely if u got BFP this month especially if ur not expecting it Smile X
Positive vibes all round !! Xx

Loki17 · 03/11/2015 07:36

I think last night's test was faulty. I dunno. Will test with a frer on Thursday.

HoggleHoggle · 03/11/2015 06:46

Sorry Loki, though hopefully it's just a test problem rather than an actual neg?

Peyia that sounds promising! Sending good thoughts your way.

I have no symptoms whatsoever so don't think I'm pg though it would be lovely to get a surprise. The early symptom I had last time was excruciating boobs and I def had that for a few days before testing.

Loki17 · 03/11/2015 06:30

BFN this morning. It must have been an evap. Sad I don't trust these cheapie tests, they are due to go out of date so probably aren't reliable.

Gx91 · 02/11/2015 21:40

Lol Kiki hope u get some excitement out of it it's really important to enjoy urself even tho the TTC business can make it difficult good luck for this month!! Xx

Peyia · 02/11/2015 21:37

This is looking sooooo promising!! Faint, but I definitely see it!!!

Well girls I think I missed my surge because I've been cramping and generally feeling off these last couple of days. I don't want to read too much into it but am feeling optimistic Smile

KikiShack · 02/11/2015 21:35

Let us know what happens in the morning Loki!
I'm a few days post AF so about to start a week of frantic bonking to see if we can make things work this month. Last 2 months we were both out or tired during the peak time but this month we've cleared the calendar and are ready for action. Though we go to PIL for a long weekend on Weds so might have to do some h9rny teenager silent bonking. I am hoping that'll enhance the mood and take the pressure off?!?

HoggleHoggle · 02/11/2015 21:19

Fingers crossed for you Loki!

Gx91 · 02/11/2015 20:49

Omg Loki ! That looks promising ! Test in the morning with first morning urine and if u still have a line then I would say very possible BFP!! How exciting !!! Grin xxx
