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 had a feeling I was but I am so surprised. DD Is only 18 weeks old and my periods had just returned.
I think you know when your pregnant. Last time I had horrific acne so not looking forward to that!

My cycles are slightly irregular so I was either due AF on weds or today. I POAS weds and thurs, both negative, so I'm trying to wait until tomorrow - if it's still negative then then I'll take that as confirmation, otherwise I keep kidding myself that it might just be a bit too early!

If it hasn't happened this cycle then I will be massively pissed off with my body - it's giving me loads of pg signals and frankly mugging me right off.

So sorry Hoggle, meant Jelly. Who knows you might be next. How long will you wait to POAS? Beer have any will power!

beckslovestimmy · 02/10/2015 12:12

Congrats Hoggle!! I only had a pale line with my first when testing on the day AF was due, I don't remember it getting any darker really. How exciting for you, how do you feel? X

JellyBaby26 · 02/10/2015 12:06

2 days today. IC still very feint as well!

Straws should be clutched at!

HoggleHoggle · 02/10/2015 11:48

Yay!!!! Congratulations.

How late were you in the end?

JellyBaby26 · 02/10/2015 11:24

Well another day has passed with no AF ...

Anyone ttc baby #2?
HoggleHoggle · 02/10/2015 09:11

Fingers crossed becks

It's taking all my willpower to not POAS today.

AF is late now but given the other tests I've lost hope a bit for this cycle.

Hi can I join in. We're now on our 3rd cycle TTC number 2. It took us nearly 2 years to conceive number one so not expecting anything to happen quickly this time. I'm now 1day PO with a 26day cycle, previously had the mirena coil but since it's been removed I've been as regular as clockwork. Fingers crossed for this cycle. Congratulations on all the BFP on this thread already, hoping some luck rubs off on me!

TurquoiseCat · 01/10/2015 21:10

Boo jelly - next time for sure though Wink

YY to the symptom spotting. It doesn't help that my period symptoms are closer to my pregnancy symptoms than ever before - I get all excited with my sore boobs for nothing!

HoggleHoggle · 01/10/2015 13:00

Sorry jelly Sad

JellyBaby26 · 01/10/2015 12:35

boo! just got some IC in the post and BFN. Never mind! Must shag harder!

HoggleHoggle · 01/10/2015 12:03

Good luck to everyone. Big weekend ahead!

jelly I'm glad I'm not the only one constantly looking in my pant gusset Grin

Hello to the new joiners on our thread, glad to have you with us on our self proclaimed lucky board!!!

I am going crazy with symptom spotting today - I've even decided that I must be pregnant because my fingernails have grown extraordinarily long!!! I'm also feeling sick and dizzy, as well as having to keep going for a wee. I am going to try to hold out until tomorrow morning to POAS and need to not get my hopes up. Sounds like there will be a few of us testing at the weekend, let's hope it's good news all round!

TurquoiseCat I would be annoyed at that too. I think it's ok to tell close friends or family if you want to, but even then a joint decision would be preferable. As if ttc isn't stressful enough without worrying about what other people are thinking. Let's hope that this month is third time lucky for you!

turquoise that is v annoying!

Hello everyone!

Also TTC number 2. Not been on any female contraception since having DD (3), we're on month 3 of trying.

Just had an interesting convo with DD's old keyworker at nursery about number 2. Apparently DH has been telling everyone we are TTC. What if it doesn't happen? Fuckwit.

HoggleHoggle · 01/10/2015 07:17

Also ttc #2. Have done two tests, BFN, although I may have been doing it a little early.

I def feel pregnant - sick and dizzy and implantation pains. Although I could also be losing my mind. We conceived straight away last time, we were so lucky.

Will make myself wait until Saturday to try again!

Congratulations to everyone who have their BFPs!

simplydivine05 · 01/10/2015 07:00

Hi Fuzzy, welcome back!

Hello and welcome Bump!

I'm 6-7dpo now. May do a cheeky test at the weekend! You never know, bfp is possible from 8dpo! I've got a drawer full of poas's! Will hold on as long as I can though.

BumpAndGrind · 30/09/2015 23:49

Can I join? on Cycle #2 trying for baby #2
