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'm sorry must have read it wrong , still wishing u luck for this month Grin

I tested again this morning still nada , I'm not testing again til the wkend now it's doing my head in ( not a nice way start to the day ) Sad
Will still be reading to check if any of u lucky ladies get ur BFP ! Xxg

Gx I think I've confused you. I was comparing my lack of symptoms this time to the symptoms I had when pg with dd. My dd was my faint line! I hope I see the same this time but can't shake the feeling that it's not our month.

HoggleHoggle · 07/10/2015 06:51

Good luck everyone!

I won't be testing again for a while as it was depressing me! And costing a fortune...

Will do another if nothing by the weekend, I'll be more than a week late then.

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 23:02

Gd luck to u jp !Smile I'm also very excited for everyone on here ! Il b testing tomorrow too so hopefully at least one of us gets our very wanted BFPGrin xxg

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 23:00

Loki- sounds like u probably r pregnant if h got a faint line , think it's unusual to get a line at all if ur not preggers , look forward to hearing how your next test goes Smile good luck xxg

jp0303 · 06/10/2015 21:54

I'm eagerly awaiting good news tomorrow! Sounds like there could be some BFPs on the way Smile good luck ladies.

8 dpo tomorrow. Practically zero symptoms. My achy boobs feel less achy so I think that was just a symptom of the post ovulation progesterone surge. My nipples feel a little tingly and strange, but I did a 15 mile charity hike with work on Friday so I think that could be chaffing. I'm certain the little twinges I'm getting are normal - I'm just noticing them because I'm desperate for a bfp. With dd, I had a heightened sense of smell and I felt little electric shocks in my tummy. Chocolate made me feel sick. I noticed the shocks at about 6/7 dpo (i think if was implantation) and the other symptoms at 9 dpo. Tested at 10 dpo but got BFN and then at 11 got a faint bfp. I haven't experienced any of that so far so if I don't get any of them by Friday I'm not going to be hopeful of a bfp by Tuesday. The spotting has stopped though so hopefully that is a good sign!

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 21:24

Good luck with your test tomorrow Latium def sounds like it's worth having a try !
Look forward to know how u get on ! Smilexxg

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 21:19

Gd luck xxg

mrsmugoo · 06/10/2015 21:11

Fingers crossed for you latinium, sounds very promising!!

beckslovestimmy · 06/10/2015 21:10

Latium those positive OPK's sound like you could be the next BFP, like you said it's unlikely ovulation at this point in your cycle!!! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow. **

Hoggle,* here's hoping for positive news for you too xx

Lovely ladies, good to hear there are plenty symptoms still and late AFs. Fingers crossed for another BFP soon! It's good to share tips too like the Primrose Oil. It's worth trying anything that makes you feel you have a little control I reckon.

Still no sign of AF for me (3 days late now). I am always very regular but as I have only just had return of AF from BFing, anything could be going on with me. And as for tingly nipples being the first sign, I am still BFing after a whole year so I don't think I'd even feel a tingly nipple, ha ha.

I really need to POAS but don;t have any tests at home, will purchase tomorrow. I have OPKs so I peed on one of them last night and one tonight and both are showing strong positive. Now, I did read somewhere that this can mean pregnancy but of course it is not reliable and I really need a pregnancy test stick to pee on. I know that I did ov around 22 September as I did have positive OPK then too so surely the positive OPK just now can't be another rapid fire ovulation?? Confused but still no AF and still having symptoms so hopeful.

Let's have some more BFPs.

HoggleHoggle · 06/10/2015 19:40

Still no AF here, I had some spotting a couple of days ago but that's stopped. I have slightly irregular periods so I'm 3-5 days late.

My stomach still really, really looks like early pregnancy. I can hardly do up my jeans. I'm honestly not eating more than normal, less if anything because my stomach is so different. Still getting BFNs though.

Feel in total limbo.

beckslovestimmy · 06/10/2015 18:47

Thank you ladies, it took nearly 2 years the first time round so I really hope I don't have to wait that long this time! The evening primrose stuff sounds interesting as last time it was found I had thick acidic cervical mucus. Definitely worth a try next cycle. Good luck to everyone else too

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 18:01

Good to know about the primrose oil if not pregnant this month will give it a bash cheers !

Becks you'lol maybe notice more symptoms as the days tick by ! Smile all the best ! Xxg

FuzzyOwl · 06/10/2015 17:26

CD = cycle day Smile

Evening primrose oil just increases your CM and I only ever took it in one cycle, it is just it had a 100% success rate for me as that was when I got my BFP.

Becks a kind of fizzy nipple sensation was the first pregnancy symptom I got and started several days before AF was due, so fingers crossed for you.

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 16:51

You might be having early symptoms as ur body will be producing more progesterone and estrogen if an egg got fertilised , everyone is different , I'm still waiting for a hopeful BFP but having a fair few symptoms each day ! Xxg

beckslovestimmy · 06/10/2015 16:26

Fuzzy, what's the evening primrose supposed to do? The only thing I'm taking is folic acid? I've been really trying hard not to symptom spot but today I have (TMI) really sensitive nipples! This is not normal for me but I'm only 5 days PO so I think it's too early for any symptoms?? With my first pregnancy I didn't have any symptoms at all until 1week after my BFP when I threw up into my dinner at a meal out on holiday. I didn't stop vomiting until about 22weeks!

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 16:06

Sorry I'm not sure was CD1 and CD12 are ... Haven't taken primrose oil either , r u supposed to ? Xx

FuzzyOwl · 06/10/2015 14:27

Fingers crossed for you Gx91.

Does anyone have much experience with evening primrose oil? I took it in the cycle I got pregnant last time but can't remember if you have to begin on CD1 or not. I am on CD12 now but not due to ovulate for another eight days.

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 10:02

Well Iv only just came off the pill last month , was only on if for 4 months and my peroid was never irregular before it , it could b down to that X
I'm only concerned bcoz I'm having a lot of pregnancy symptoms and they match what I had with my first pregnancy X and obv just really hoping I am ! lol Smile xx

JellyBaby26 · 06/10/2015 09:43

Is there a chance you have irregular cycles and ovulated later than you thought?

Gx91 · 06/10/2015 08:41

Thanks jp0303 can't think of anything else at the moment I know I will get turned away for a blood test at the docs so have to wait it out ! Good luck to you too Smile xx g
