TTC #2 (September BFPs)

I was getting obsessed with ttc with my first, im sure the underlying stress was stopping us. Hopefully won't get chance to get stressed this time with already having a dd who's exhausting (but amazing!)

No, only 5 months last time! Fingers crossed for it to be as quick this time, I think the ladies trying for so long are incredible

Thanks for the welcome, good to have others to share the journey with. Did your dd take long to conceive?

Hi Penny,

I agree with beansprout and would say that he will find another job, he could start looking now so you are prepared.

Welcome beansprout I'm the same as you almost exactly, first cycle, got a dd already (nearly 2) and 34. Great to have you here on our lucky board! :-)

Thanks Karpuzkiz. Weird long cycle for me but cramping all the way as well as back pain. Positve opk again today but negative hpt. Have no idea what's going on and I feel like crying😣😓

Penny I would keep trying. I believe lie has a way of working itself out.

Welcome Beansprout

Baby dust to all you lovely ladies x

That's rubbish Penny, i think I'd carry on ttc though as irresponsible as that may be, things always have a way of working themselves out!

I'm in a dilemma...dp's job is looking unstable and in 6 months he could be out of a job. I think he's going to start applying for others now. We couldn't afford mat leave if he didn't have a job. Do we keep trying or wait...I'm nearly 38 😭 Wwyd?

Hi everyone, room for another?
We are ttc #2, periods just returned as ive been bf dd1 so I'm taking that as mother natures way of telling me we are ready for another!

Dd1 took 16 months to conceive and it was such a horrible, stressful time I really don't want to get obsessed again but I think I will if it takes that long a second time! I had acupuncture for three month before and convinced that's what did it. Just trying to think how my cycles were before, usually 28 days with late ovulation and short luteal phase, acupuncture got me ovulating bang on day 14 and that's when I caught.

Cd13 today and had egg white discharge so hoping my body is still ovulating day 14. We've dtd every other night this week and going for it later too. So hard as DH works away Monday to Friday which is added pressure.

This appears to be a lucky thread going by the bfps already, congratulations to those!

Stats are:
Age 34 :(
Ttc #2
dd 1 is 13 months
First cycle

One thing I'm panicking about if and when I do get pregnant is sleep deprivation in the early months, it nearly killed me with dd one and god knows how I'll cope with a new born and toddler who gets up at 6am!

Yes lots of baby dust to all, three bfps in as many days, this must be a lucky thread! Weird I too slept awfully last night... definitely makes it a symptom if three of us didn't sleep! I still can't quite believe it despite cramps and nearly fainting this afternoon 🙄 Keep staring at the test. I don't have any more tests tho so think I will just hold out.. might do my temp for a few more days til af date has passed.

AF due today no sign negative tests 😑 x

Way to go mother so chuffed for you! Knew it! I've tested last few days, I still can't believe it! I think I will use the digital on Tuesday and maybe then I'll believe it?! I don't really feel any different but it was Alex that said about the not sleeping that made me think I could be! Apart from that no symptoms, so I think the no symptoms thing is a sign!

Sending baby dust to everyone else, routing for you cautious lady and nubian and others. Let's make this the best thread ever!

I started taking vitamin B this cycle so maybe that helped? I also stopped all exercise? I wonder if that made a difference? X

Uppity it has been so good for me though. Helping with skin and hair as well. Don't really want to switch but I don't really want such a long cycle going foward

@Nubian9454 I haven't switched as yet but I'm thinking about it. I've been taking them since TTC at the start of August. Didn't realise my cycle would be so long which resulted in me 'missing' my window.

cupcakes no nothing at all! And my chart looks the same as every other month... I think my symptoms are no symptoms! Normally get sore boobs before af but boobs feel fine this month. Other than needing to wee a lot yesterday and cramps starting today don't really feel any different!

Uppity I use pregnacare vitamins. Have been since trying to conceive for last 5 months. HAve you switched to another vitamin? If so which one? I DON'T want to go through this again.

@Nubian9454 same thing happened to me last month. My normal 28 day cycle went up to 34. 3 BFN pregnancy tests later I realised the Pregnacare vits I was taking was the culprit. It's horrible just waiting for something to happen!

Happy for you Mother :)

Yay congrats @mother !
I took another frer yesterday just for reassurance and it was so bright! Ahhh!

Congratulations @MotherofBoy, great news!!

Did my first Persona test stick for this month. Fingers crossed it helps!!

Congrats Mother! That's really awesome. Wishing you a smooth pregnancy.

Unicorn I say test. It sounds promising for you.

Lol Cautious we won't blame Kate.

Baby dust everyone. I'm still in Limbo over here. This is the longest cycle I have ever had. Day 33. If Af keep away I will see gp maybe Wednesday or so.

Also thank you nubian I'll be trying that when I am fertile if I don't catch this month I will buy an opk for next month,

Yay mother!!! Did you do anything differently this month to the previous?
I'm sure it will stick massive congrats
unicorn that exact happened to me a day before af was due I had a streak and thought oh by tomorrow she will come.... she didn't I have a 21 month old now! It's worth testing if you can x

Congratulations mother!! Fantastic news

Thanks ladies! Crossing fingers all goes ok. Taking reassurance from fact the FRER line is pretty strong and came up in less than a minute. No wonder I was off my coconut curry last night and been weeing constantly!

Congrats mother! This is amazing! Have we had three pregnancies in three days? This thread is on fire! Baby dust to all!
