Hoping to find some ladies in a similar situation to either help keep the crazy at bay... or provide company to safely let it out! Grin

DH and I had planned to wait until May-ish to start trying for #2. Our DD is 15.5 months and we are due to complete on our new house next month so wanted to wait. I am still BF but only a couple of times a day. Periods returned at 8 months and have been every 29-33 days since. Downloaded the sodding Ovia app last month, "just to start monitoring my cycles"... instead I am already devoting an unhealthy amount of time to staring at it and subsequently became fixated about DTD on my ovulation day (usually around CD18-20). Successfully managed to seduce DH during DD’s nap this weekend on CD18 and am now descending into madness checking CM and wondering about every minor twinge! Blush

So I guess we are now officially TTC! The madness, upset and hoping begins again!

Please tell me there are some of you in the same boat?!

Welcome to the madness @makingapplecrumble00 ! Hope your little one is all better now. We bought DS a Thomas train set which he is obsessed with and has allowed us 10 minutes in the evening to do the necessary 😂

I finally got a PROPER positive opk today! I've dipped literally hundreds of these little sticks in the past 7 months and all I've gotten close to is possibly the same darkness as the control line. Today that test line was defo darker, yay!

Although I'm a bit confused cos my temps have been high the last two days. First month temping so I hope it'll all sort itself out and make sense in the next couple of weeks.

Hi all. Can I join you please. I so could have written all of the posts above. Have promised hubby I'm not going to go crazy this time, made it to cycle 8/9 (not really sure when we started properly) and I've finally cracked.

@8DaysAWeek I'm so with you on the toddler sleep thing. Mine had chicken pox at the crucial moment last week :-( So I think we're probably out this month again (although still hoping for a miracle...)

8DaysAWeek · 14/04/2018 23:36

Just lying in bed thinking back to 2.5 years ago when I was able to turn round to my husband, give him a look and get down to love makin'!

Nowadays it doesn't matter if you are in your fertile week with ewcm and ready to jump your partner, if your toddler decides he's sleeping in your arms for the night, he's sleeping in your arms for the night!!

I love you son but if you could spend 20 mins or so in your own bed that'd be great.

Fififiesta · 14/04/2018 21:09

Yay Cherry!!!!

Kintan · 14/04/2018 19:27

Congrats CherryO88 and Fifi how lovely.
Sorry to read your news Kurly :(
My last TWW ended in the heaviest period I've ever had, so just waiting for next fertile week now. I've got blood tests for this month - had the day 3 ones taken last week, and am having the 21 day ones later this month. This month will be month 8 of trying and I just want to know one way or the other if I am likely to get pregnant again..
Have a great weekend everyone!

CherryO88 · 14/04/2018 16:28

Thank you hidcat and 8days. Still in disbelief but very happy.
I’ll take the biscuit happily Grin

8DaysAWeek · 14/04/2018 16:19

Ignore the biscuit! Although you may be like me and love a biscuit or 7 Grin

8DaysAWeek · 14/04/2018 16:19

Aww Cherry that's brilliant. Congrats!! BiscuitThanks

HidCat · 14/04/2018 15:37

@CherryO88 yey! So pleased for you!

CherryO88 · 14/04/2018 14:05

So this just happened...beyond shocked and elated! Can’t believe I managed to catch the egg Grin

That’s great news!! Will keep my fingers crossed for stronger lines for you.

CherryO88 · 13/04/2018 20:13

Woke up at 3.30 this morning busting for the toilet so tested then and again faint line with FRER. Woke DH up to confirm and he saw it also. Been checking the tests all day and the 2 lines are still there....been nauseous today with very slight cramps. Main symptom (if I’m even pg) is that I’ve been so breathless, even lifting DD has knackered me. Have more tests arriving tomorrow from amazon so will have another go. I have 2 digital but I’m trying hard not to waste as far too early for them to work!

Naschkatze · 13/04/2018 19:26

Cherry Anything? I’m totally over invested in everyone else’s lines!

CherryO88 · 12/04/2018 21:40

I’m on CD39! So well over a week ‘late’ but I’m fairly sure I ovulated last week. So would still be very early days. DH agreed there’s a line and he is a real skeptic. Going to test again with FMU and pray so hard I get another line!

Fififiesta · 12/04/2018 20:40

Cherry there might just be something there, when is AF due? Test again in the morning!

Thank you for your congratulations Nasch.

I am still to scared and worried to move out of this thread...Confused Sad Hope you all get BFPs soon so we can graduate together

Naschkatze · 12/04/2018 19:16

Fingers crossed for you Cherry.

Congratulations Fifi, that’s so exciting!!

CD 27 here. No idea when to expect AF so I’m not going to test for a while. Certainly don’t feel pregnant and it’s pretty unlikely since I’ve no idea if/when I ovulated and we only managed to DTD a few times the whole month.

If we were to be lucky and actually start TTC properly next month that would mean DS would be 2 by the potential due date which I feel more comfortable with. 2 under 2 fills me with fear since I’ve had one, before DS I wanted loads of children all close in age. Even thought twins would be fun Grin

Tinks177 · 12/04/2018 15:33

I definitely see a line too Cherry! Fingers crossed for you.

Whilst we're not actively trying yet I have been tracking cycles and I'm almost a week late. I had a bit of spotting a few days ago but that's it. Have had periods back for 9 months now post-baby #1 and I have always been pretty regular. On CD35 now and had EWCM on three different occasions. No idea what's going on but its not making me confident about TTC when we start.

8DaysAWeek · 12/04/2018 15:20

GrinGrinGrin keep us updated!!

CherryO88 · 12/04/2018 15:14

I was adamant I wasn’t going to test until Sunday at the earliest. Went to get DH up from her nap and couldn’t resist. I am fairly sure there’s a line. In total shock and scared to believe it. Going to boots now to buy more tests!!!

Shock defo a faint line there Cherry!!

CherryO88 · 12/04/2018 14:44

Anyone else see a faint second line or have I gone crazy completely?!

Hi all. Just a quick check in from me in between the painting and unpacking so apologies if I miss people or haven't read stuff properly.

Big congrats Fifi! Wishing you a happy pregnancy!

Kurly I'm so sorry. I hope your DP is looking after you. I hope we see you back here when you're ready.

We have managed to squeeze in a couple of attempts but I think I missed my most fertile days - AGAIN! Not feeling too down or stressed as I'm so excited (and shattered) to be in the new house. Will post properly soon!

Aw Fifi huge congrats! Wishing you a sticky bean Smile
CD39 for me Confused currently no sign of AF but also do not feel pregnant. Have now diagnosed myself with low progesterone (I need to stop myself googling). Pregnant SIL tried probing me last night whether I was pg and talking about having 2 under 2 and sending pics of her bump. Happy for her obv but made me sad!

Fififiesta · 11/04/2018 21:10

8days "my hobbies include pilates, cooking and taking my BBT" Grin

8DaysAWeek · 11/04/2018 19:46

Lol it does give me something to do I guess 😂 hoping it keeps me from POAS during the 2ww!

Haha you'll never get chucked out. Maybe we will get a graduate thread running one day! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
