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.

Hi dizzy, welcome. Hoping for a bfp for you!

DizzyMerry · 13/10/2015 23:04

I have read that some people have an anovulatory cycle post mc fuzzy. The sonographer could see a follicle on my right ovary but they weren't forthcoming with info whether it's ov time and just said some people have follicles all the time. Have you had surgery for your endo? I had a cyst last year but was rescanned a few months later and it had resolved and thankfully none since but I still do get heavy and painful periods.

Hi Dizzy . I also suffer from endo. After my mmc I don't think I ovulated in my first cycle and the couple after that were all over the place and involved lots of pre and post spotting, but I did still successfully get pregnant afterwards. I really hope you quickly get your BFP and have a smooth pregnancy.

DizzyMerry · 13/10/2015 21:27

Hi everyone Smile can I join in?

We conceived our DD after 3 years of ttc. I have endo and conceived a year after having it all removed just before IVF treatment started. Got my second bfp on cycle 16 but sadly had an mmc at the end of last month. We're back to ttc now.

I hate the tww with a passion, had too many of them and they just drag on and on! I'm not tracking anything as don't know where I am post mmc so will just dtd eod and see what happens. Will start temping and doing opks when AF arrives but really hoping it doesn't!

FuzzyOwl · 13/10/2015 20:12

Thanks jp and hope you aren't waiting long.

I am another one who hates the tww - not helped by the fact that I start imagining symptoms before I even ovulate!!

jp0303 · 13/10/2015 20:03

Thanks Loki, we can help each other through it and hopefully both be like SmileSmile instead of going crazy!

jp - ill hold your hand through the tww! I hate it do much! But, because I'm not using opks I'm going to hope that I will just carry on dtd because I won't be sure if I've ov'd or not! Hopefully that will take my mind off testing because I will still feel like I've got a job to do!

jp0303 · 13/10/2015 17:38

Never mind Gx91, here's to next month for you Wineenjoy your wine!

Becks I hope Thursday comes around quickly for you, it's awful when it's coming up to AF / POAS time and the days start draaaaaagging on, it's like being in a time warp! Fingers crossed for you.

Hope you're not too uncomfortable Fuzzy and feel better soon.

I'm back into waiting for ovulation, I've decided to take a leaf out of Loki's book and try to relax more this month. I'm not starting the OPKs, it's only my second month of ttc so I'm going to try to enjoy it and see how it goes. Me and dh are enjoying trying and I will just have to try to keep chilled for the tww, which is the bit that I struggle with!

Lol the things us women have to go through eh !? I'd b the same lol tell him it's to be a quicky Wink X

FuzzyOwl · 13/10/2015 16:20

Thanks Gx. Last dtd on Sat morning, so not really hopeful as I think it was too long away. Going to take some painkillers, have a bath and grit my teeth! Smile

Gx91 · 13/10/2015 16:15

Fuzzy owl , u maybe still get pregnant if u dtd a few days ago as sperm can survive for a while X hopefully the pain subsides so u can enjoy urself later ! Xxg

Gx91 · 13/10/2015 16:12

Thanks becks , the spotting could b a gd sign of IB , sorry to say but I think u many have to wait til AF due to get a positive Preg test but wishing u all the best for that day! Xxg

beckslovestimmy · 13/10/2015 15:38

Hi Gx at least you know what's going on now and can plan for next month (even though it's so disappointing when AF arrives).

For me the spotting has stopped, I did a cheeky test last night and convinced myself that I could see a line then went into another room and couldn't see anything in that light. Just wishful thinking I think or hopefully just to early to test. AF due on Thursday so will now wait to test.

I have felt bloated and crampy for a few days so not sure if my body is just gearing up for AF.

FuzzyOwl · 13/10/2015 15:36

So despite having a positive OPK yesterday I still really thought I wouldn't ovulate until Wednesday or Thursday and didn't dtd last night in favour of tonight and tomorrow. However, my left side is now really hurting thanks to endometriosis ovulation pains. I have got a horrible feeling it will hurt too much tonight to dtd and then I will have missed this cycle all together. Sad Then again, at least I know I am definitely ovulating again as I haven't been sure that I have done since giving birth.

Gx91 · 13/10/2015 15:17

Me again lol well after a long walk with the dog I came home to descover AF has arrived ! I'm actually pretty happy about it as I thought there was something wrong going on , going to look to next month and buy ovulation sticks so I have a better idea of when to take the pregnancy test ! This month has been really hard and I'd rather not repeat it , going to have a few glasses of wine tonight and relax! Hoping to have a summer baby to fx next month is the BFP ! Grin

All still be checking up on u guys! Good luck!! Grin xxg

Gx91 · 13/10/2015 09:30

Good luck hope u girls catch your eggs!

I am on cd 38 and still not sign of AF , I think it's mibi due to coming off the pill on 4/9 ! No idea if I have ovulated of if its been late ovulation bcoz Iv heard it can pop out at anytime within 3 months of stopping birth control ! I know now y they tell you to have a normal cycle first so u understand ur body more X I'm 24 had DD nearly 2 years ago so think I was hoping it wouldn't b too hard !
Hey ho I'm still in the waiting game for now and keen to see how all our ladies get on X
All the best girls! Xxg

HoggleHoggle · 13/10/2015 06:41

Thanks fuzzy that is reassuring!

Welcome tattie and good luck Smile

FuzzyOwl · 12/10/2015 21:44

Hello and welcome Tattie. I am on CD18 and only got my positive OPK today, so I would DTD today and hopefully you haven't missed the egg. I am nearly 37 so understand what you mean about age. We will be ok though. Smile

TattieHowkerz · 12/10/2015 21:36

Hopefully I'm not too late to join..

Already have DD aged 4, she was a very happy accident so this is our first time TTC. Just started yesterday morning, which was CD14, so guessing we are too late for this month! I am excited, nervous and broody. And worried about my age, I am nearly 38.

FuzzyOwl · 12/10/2015 21:28

Got a positive OPK this afternoon. DTD on Saturday, will tonight and hopefully tomorrow and Wednesday. I will join you on the AN thread! Grin

JellyBaby26 · 12/10/2015 21:17

Hello fuzzy!

ARE YOU OVULATING YET

FuzzyOwl · 12/10/2015 21:05

Hello JellyBaby

FuzzyOwl · 12/10/2015 21:04

Congratulations Latium.

Hoggle I have had odd blips where one cycle is much longer. When I used opks, I could see that I would sometimes gear up to ovulate and then not actually do so, which meant my body would go through the process again about a week later and I would ovulate then. However, it did mean I would have a longer cycle when that happened - and sometimes I think I wouldn't actually ovulate, so those cycles were a bit out as well. Good luck for next month.

fingerscrossedgirl · 11/10/2015 22:03

congrats Latium!

Hope AF holds off* for you becks*
