Anyone ttc baby #2?

988 replies

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.

Sorry, not been on for a while and so much has happened. Congratulations to those with their BFPs! AF left today, so on CD6 and I usually ovulate around CD20.

simplydivine05 · 30/09/2015 17:41

Huge congratulations Mrs!

Loki17 · 30/09/2015 17:12

Any update on that line Mum19821985?

Thanks lemons! I'm still using opks but only only got a faint line today so still negative but for some reason it actually hasn't upset me today. Infact, I feel slightly less crazy today! Plus I've only used 1 opk instead of 4 so that is a step in the direction of sanity surely? Grin

lemonslemonslemons · 28/09/2015 08:24

Congrats JW!! So exciting.

I am putting any twang, fart, sore boob and back down to a sign of pregnancy. I did this on cycle 1 with DD and got visited by AF then so am not holding out hope. Still another week until test time. Unless AF rears her ugly head before then! Bah.

Loki I'n not going to lie, I love a ranty post. Reminds me that I am not the only one who feels like that sometimes. Sorry to hear about the spotting. Sounds like maybe everything is settling down after the implant came out. Hopefully it won't take long! Or hopefully you'll get a nice surprise!

I think I can see a line too mum, fingers crossed for you! Please keep us updated.

Jw35 · 27/09/2015 17:28

Also mum my first test looked just like that! X

Jw35 · 27/09/2015 17:27

I can totally see a line!

Thanks for the congrats everyone, the very best of luck to you all X

JellyBaby26 · 27/09/2015 16:01

Going to order some cheapies...

I think I can see a line there mum!

simplydivine05 · 27/09/2015 15:46

Jelly, it can show anywhere from 8dpo to infinity. Some women don't ever get a bfp on a home test. If you only have one left I would wait until you're a day late now. Or, you could order some online with next day delivery?!
Mum19821985 - I'm sorry but I can't see anything. The photo is blurry which could be because I'm on my phone. Test again tomorrow and let us know.

Fx!

mum19821985 · 27/09/2015 14:05

Haha oh dear! If you stare too hard you'll become cross eyed! I'll test again tomorrow and update on here! Xx

Mum19821985 I must be trying too hard to see the line as I can now see 3 faint lines in different places all up and down the stick!!! Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks!

Loki17 · 27/09/2015 13:23

I'm glad I'm not alone in my poas loopyness! Fingers crossed for you both for the next couple of days x

mum19821985 · 27/09/2015 13:23

Here's a pic of the first test. I'm sure I can see a faint line! HmmHmm

Anyone ttc baby #2?
mum19821985 · 27/09/2015 12:38

Congratulations JW! Amazing news! Well I POAS this morning, it's 5 days til AF, at first nothing came up so I made a cup of tea, looked at it again and I'm sure I could see the faintest of lines. Soooo faint though, dunno if I'm imagining it??? Maybe I'm going loopy now?? Ha ha. Testing again tomorrow Smile

JellyBaby26 · 27/09/2015 12:27

I poas today - 4 days early.

Obv was bfn. How early would it show? It's too addictive but o only have one left so should really wAit until I'm late shouldn't I?

PingOAS is compulsive! I feel like doing it again today, although I know it wouldn't be worthwhile, would give me another -ve and annoy me immensely! I haven't used any OPKs before, but could easily become addicted to those!

I do feel for you Loki17. If only there was an app for it and we could just hover our phones over our torsos to find out what on earth was going on inside!!

If patience is a virtue then we are clearly of dubious character!! Wink

JW - I missed your bfp! Congratulations!

Hi JP, I'll keep fingers crossed that you're just too early. I think with ds I was a day late for af before I got a faint bfp but I wasn't ttc. I did however suspect I was upduffed but I don't think I tested before then as I didn't know I could. I honestly can't remember though. This whole deliberately ttc is a minefield!

Loki - it sounds like your cycles need to settle if you've just had your implant out. I've only ever used the pill so don't know how the implant affects your hormones but it must throw them out of whack. I think waiting to start on cd1 is a good idea.

Loki17 · 27/09/2015 08:54

So I've had my 'crazy lady' moment of the day: I poas! BFN, as I knew it would be. I also did an opk too! also BFN. So, I'm stopping now. I'm going to sit back and wait for the witch and stop being so obsessive. I'm not going to track anything now until af shows up properly and I can start cd1. Good luck to everyone else, this shall be my last ranty post, I promise! Flowers
