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.

Anyone ttc baby #2?
Gx91 · 27/10/2015 22:55

I know could have met up for a coffee and had a crazy TTC baby chat! Lol X
Wishing u lots of luck for tomorrow's OPK ! Hope ur line gets darker , and mine too will post a pic Smile xx

Peyia · 27/10/2015 22:43

I wishing and hoping!!! Lovely highlands!!! I'm in London. Shame we're miles apart. Thank goodness for broadband!

Gx91 · 27/10/2015 22:28

I'm hoping the lines start faint and get darker , I looked on google and some ladies have posted images of there lines getting darker each day as they reach peak ovulation X
So if ur getting faint lines it's maybe building up lol
I'm in Falkirk Scotland how about u ? XxSmile

Peyia · 27/10/2015 22:09

Hey lovely! I know been itching to post but coupled with having a ton of DIY (house is a complete project!) and then getting foggy brain and couldn't remember my log in!!!

I started testing too early CD10 and ran out of cheapies so never ever saw a line. Have 4 CB left so only testing once a day. No smiley today but there was a 2nd line, with the CB do you know if this counts as a sign for nearly reaching peak?

I hope we catch at the same time! Where are you based?? xx

Gx91 · 27/10/2015 22:00

Just re read ur msg , don't worry if u haven't got a line yet could just b late ovulation , it's not uncommon to ovulate late in your cycle X keep testing I'm sure something will appear soon X good luck !! Xx

Gx91 · 27/10/2015 21:59

Hey good to see u back!!
Lol well having faint lines on OPKs but today's was def slightly darker !
Just testing every day to make sure j don't miss it Smile X
How have u getting on ? Have u had a pos OPK yet ? X we too r getting it on eod lol hoping this will be our month ! Grin ( was wondering where you had got to! ) xx

Peyia · 27/10/2015 21:28

Hi ladies, hope you're all well!

GX91did you get a positive OPK?? BTW it's hopingfortwo, we have matching cycles....for some reason I couldn't log on so have been MIA and had to come with a different username!

Anyway. I'm CD 15, not a whiff of a line and no smiley. Have been bonking like mad so hopefully we still have a good chance. 2nd month using OPK, first was just to try and this month properly ttc and to be honest it's stressed me out!!

Gx91 · 27/10/2015 09:33

Sorry AF arrived fuzzy owl Sad November with b ur month !! It's always a killer having to start again . it can be such a stressful time ! Good luck xx

I got a very faint line on OPK last night so keeping it to compare to today's !
Really quite anxious if I get no line today so fx an egg is on the way !
Dtd eod So hopefully be ok X having to rely on the cheap OPKs be coz moneys a bit tight this month! Xx

HoggleHoggle · 27/10/2015 08:58

Sorry fuzzy.
*
Becks* that makes sense, it must have been so hard for you.

FuzzyOwl · 27/10/2015 00:49

Hello

After backing away for the 2ww, I am back as AF has unsurprisingly arrived. November will be my month!!

beckslovestimmy · 26/10/2015 17:12

Hoggle we were trying for so long and my diet/drinking felt like one thing I could control. Bonus now is with 2years of trying 9months of pregnancy and about a year of not really going out because of new baby I'm now a complete lightweight and a cheap date!!!Grin

Gx91 · 26/10/2015 08:21

Sorry to hear AF arrived tattie , I was the sm tho enjoyed my wine that week ! Smile wishing u all the best for this month ! X

I'm at the point of using OPKs ( cheapy ones ) I'm cd 13 today and didn't get a positive OPK over the weekend , hoping I get a line soon or il b worrying about late ovulation or no ovulation this month !
A bit concerned but will have to wait and see ! Was hoping to have a summer baby but we will b out if don't catch it this month xx

HoggleHoggle · 26/10/2015 06:45

Becks that is some immense willpower!

Jp funnily enough I am pessimistic this month too. I prefer that though, last month was torturous.

jp0303 · 25/10/2015 20:52

Haha Loki, that is progress indeed!

I had a couple of glasses of prosecco and a few vodkas Hmmthat's overdoing it really! I will abstain now until AF arrives (how pessimistic am
I this month?!) and then perhaps enjoy a glass of wine while she's here.

I didn't feel too sharp this morning and had to take ds to a birthday party for a 2 year old, so the thought of drinking again soon does not appeal, gave me a right headache!

With PFB it took us nearly 2 years to get caught and I didn't drink a drop in all that time. The night before I was due to POAS I thought 'Sod it' why would this month be any different and consumed far to many vodka based cocktails! BFP next morning!!!!Blush

Loki17 · 25/10/2015 17:01

I'm trying to stay sane. Not drinking but more for long term health as my Friday night glass or two of wine was becoming a nightly thing! I'm 2 dpo and haven't imagined any symptoms so far so that is progress!Grin

HoggleHoggle · 25/10/2015 16:55

Yup, I'm drinking this time - not to excess obviously! Am also not being careful about the usual foods until I know for sure I'm pg...otherwise I think I'll drive myself mad.

jp0303 · 25/10/2015 14:32

Bad luck Tattie. Better luck next month hopefully.**

I went out with friends last night on a whim and ended up drinking more than I would have planned to bearing in mind ttc! Confused Feeling irresponsible this morning for just in case I am pregnant (although I feel certain I am not). Had such a good time though. Has anyone else been less than saintly either this time around or with pfb?

Thanks Becks and Timmy. Lots of cake being consumed! I can't complain as we probably started trying after I ovulated, next month will be the first proper try

HoggleHoggle · 25/10/2015 09:41

Sorry tattie Cake for you

beckslovestimmy · 25/10/2015 08:55

Oh no Tattie sorry to hear that. It's always such a blow when AF arrives. Hope your feeling better soon ready to go for it this month. Thanks

TattieHowkerz · 25/10/2015 08:32

No need to test as got my period this morning. Sadly the nausea turned out to be a horrible stomach bug!

Gx91 · 23/10/2015 20:33

Loki - think we all help each other lol I got the cheapy OPK tests too I'm on cd 10 and getting nothing hoping I'm still ovulating but if the test r crap then I'm wondering whether to buy some decent ones ! X

Becks - glad ur doing well , the tiredness is tough , especially when u have one already ! Good to know ur not feeling sick on top of that , hope I didn't jinx it lol x

Hoggle - I'm the sm as u think I may ovulate late this month so trying not to loose it over ovulation just yet ! Just taking it easy hoping it will all fall into place this month X good luck ! X

Tattie - wishing u all the luck , don't rule urself out lol way to early ! It's so hard not to test tho , I was crazy last month , save urself some money and mibi test on Monday , slap bang in the middle of sun and tues Smile hoping to see another BFP soon xx

TattieHowkerz · 23/10/2015 18:18

Thanks Becks.

No signs of AF yet, no cramps, so fingers crossed.

I am in bed feeling tired and still queasy. Hoping it is freakishly early morning sickness!
