TTC #2 (December BFPs)

And I'm 35, dd is 2.5 and on cycle 19

I had a lap done last month to remove a polyp (which was preventing implantation) and sort my tubes out so this could actually be more like cycle 1. Gah!

Hi all, nice to see familiar faces. (Although would obviously be better if were were all preggers and not on ttc forums but what can you do..!)

Congratulations @mam, lovely news.!

I'm 2dpo so in the beginning of a likely hellish tww ending days before Christmas.. at least it will be a reason to drink if its not our month. I ovulated late this month and dtd more than usual so hopefully we2re at least in for a chance.

When is everyone else testing?

Fingers crossed xx

Weirdly lots of ewcm today and stabby pains but only CD8 and a negative opk. Maybe ovulation will be early this cycle, I'll keep POAS but usually don't ovulate until cd17.

June you are going well to be so close to your pre-baby weight! I'm the same Rhibee, a stone heavier than before DS, I just haven't had the motivation to do anything about it, just far too tired! Exercise can only be a good thing!

9DPO here and feeling increasingly out this month already. BFN still (I had a faint BFP with DS on 9 dpo)

@rhibee I’m only about 4lb over my weight when I conceived DD and I’ve surprised myself with how much I’m able to do at the gym after not going for two years. But I’m mainly going to try and help TTC rather than for weight loss. Although that would be a nice bonus as I’d still like to lose a stone or so.

I’m hoping it will help me feel a bit more positive and less anxious.

Congratulations @MamOfFrankie

@MynameisJune I've been thinking I need to up my exercise. I was in the gym a lot when DS was conceived and a stone lighter. Also we did SMEP.

CD7 here and waiting for fw, I've been ovulating around CD17 so going to try SMEP this month instead of dtd every day of fw as it's so tiring and gets very mechanical!

fly we do something similar to SMEP anyway but start from day 6 as I sometimes ovulate early. I’ve also started back at the gym because I was working out loads when I conceived DD so part of me thinks that will help (it can’t really hurt surely)

Yipee! Congratulations mam!!! Finally a BFP! And so early in the month, please let this be a sign for us all...!!

8dpo here, bored out of my brain of waiting. Have wasted several internet cheapies and of course BFN... I don't even know why I bothered!! I'm a POAS addict

Best of luck June! Maybe give SMEP a go too, just as a final hurrah to 2017?!

Congratulations mam that’s a definite line. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Af has finished now so will start with the opk’s and clear blue monitor this month. One last shot for a 2017 bfp!

That’s good to hear! Day 13 now, would normally have ovulation cramps at this stage so I suspect I’ll ovulate late this month. Doesn’t happen often but I’ve been coughing non stop for 10 days so think that’s a reason!

I had a horrific cold this month and only DTD three time (unlike the ridiculous number of times last month) so I had written this month off and decided not to think about it.

Congratulations MamofFrankie!

I’m on cycle day 12, still feeling rubbish and coughing constantly. DD has picked it up. Not looking likely that I’ll be successful this month! Don’t feel that I’m gearing up to ovulate- not sure if my flu is masking it or has delayed it!

DS not Dad 😬 x

Congrats @MamOfFrankie that's a definite positive 😆
Just joining here Dad is nearing 2 only my fist cycle but feeling impatient already as getting my coil removed took 3 months 🙄 x

I was on the November bus, but took a break because I was becoming a tad obsessive. Took an IC tonight, AF due today. What do you think?

Hello, not really posted much. Very new!
I'm 27
TTC #2 DD is almost 1
Cycle number 3 and AF due in about a week (not always that regular)
Have had achey boobs but that seems to have gone now. Now have some cramping, no idea what is going on!

cariad thank you, I was quite happy to see af to be honest. After the very clear bfn’s I knew I was out but couldn’t have coped with days or weeks of no af.

coconut sorry af arrived for you too

Sorry to hear AF arrived Mynameis. At least it means you can drink in celebration of your DD’s birthday.

I’m definitely a big fan of my Clearblue fertility monitor as it certainly removes a lot of the guesswork.

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for you as well Coconut.

I shall be keeping everything crossed that this is a lucky bus for many of us.

Af seems to have arrived this morning. Not sure if this is a random long cycle or a change sigh I’ve got a clearblue fertility monitor now to try and pinpoint ovulation a bit better.

@Kit1411 - I suspected it would have something to do with sperm count or even semen itself.

@Coconut sertraline is common for failure to discharge semen so very possible that’s the cause.

AF arrived this morning so it's cycle 12 for me & DH now. 😞

DH & I are now beginning to wonder if it's the medication he's on that's slowing things down. He's been on sertraline for just under 2yrs now. He wants to come off it but just hasn't got around to seeing the Dr.

@kashy lovely to see you although hope you’re stay here is short. Same for every one of us. Keeping everything crossed for the IVF, at least you’ll feel like you’re doing something other than hoping and praying. The lack of control to change anything is so bloody difficult to deal with.

Jumping aboard (although I’m enormously doubtful it will happen this month given how dire 2017 has been generally on the ttc front). Stats are as follows:

Age: 35
Cycle: 14 (mega yawn)
DS aged 2
AF due: 22 December

Waves back at Kashy. It must be a relief of sorts to be commencing IVF. I shall be keeping everything crossed that you get your BFP very very soon.
