TTC baby #2

@Waffle10 are you in your TWW now? Feeling lucky?
@Annie1290 any withdrawal bleed for
you? Are you feeling the hormone rollercoaster yet?

Have you tested @Mommabear20 and @Bellaphant???

Bummer @Char899 and @Qwom but at least with AF here you can look forward to the next try!
@littleeggcup was your first bub from the first try too? Must have been so exciting to have tested positive on the first try and then so traumatic to find out it was ectopic. I hope you are doing ok fingers extra crossed for you this month

I think I am over testing for ovulation daily now too, will just test if/when I get any promising looking CM - dry as bone at the moment so don’t based anything exciting happening here anytime soon. I guess I will check in with a GP if I don’t get any action at all by the end of the year! There goes the 2 year age gap I was hoping for - should have started earlier!

AF for me today too. LH dump expected 1st/2nd Nov! Flip! I can't believe it's nearly November already

I’m out ladies, af showed up this morning 2 days early!
On to the next cycle!

@Waiting4another no it was first month of trying unfortunately.

I'm only on cd3 so a long month awaits!!

Im eagerly watching this thread for BFPs!! You can do it ladies! 😊

@Waiting4another I am in a really great place now. Excited for the future and looking forward to TTC I just hope the referral goes through quickly so we can start sooooon! Im so impatient 😅

Sorry to hear that you have been unwell and about your difficult past relationship @Qwom
It sounds like it might be good to have some extra support. I hope you are in a better place now yourself and with your current partner and that this doesn’t derail your plans too much x

[quote Waiting4another]@Annie1290 Agree, you can’t ever have perfect timing and no pregnancy and delivery goes 100% to plan. Hopefully you will be very well taken care of this time given your history!

@Qwom how did the referral come about? Did you have issues when you had DS?

Every pregnancy is different @Bellaphant so not being sick this time is not definitive - I think I had no symptoms at all in the first 14 days with DS - which probably explains why a GP had to tell me I was pregnant last time![/quote]
The past year I have been pretty unwell with a handful of attempts on my own life. Currently taking a daily high dose of ADs and a low dose of anti psychotics as a mood stabiliser.
Perinatal will be the best to advise and monitor me throughout TTC, pregnancy and postnatal.
DS pregnancy was fine if you don't take into consideration the abuse I suffered at the hands of my ex

I was being sick five days before af was due with my first, expecting a visit anytime between Tues and Thurs next week so I don't think this was my month. Sadder than I thought I'd be.

Ugh! Been referred to the perinatal mental health consultant which may curtail the start if TTC- boo! But sensible, I suppose 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought the nurse would advise waiting for a period but she pretty much said to get started trying! I worried so much last time about trying at the right time because I didn't want a summer birthday but now it seems to matter a lot less...mainly because my first was so early that it shows planning means nothing haha!

Had you been trying long before the ectopic? @littleeggcup

That is some impressive patience @Mommabear20, I definitely wouldn’t last!

Hello! Yes this is second baby! Fingers crossed. Xxx

He informs me that I’d be proud too if all I contributed was one tiny little swimmer and it resulted in a mini-me... He is right too!

@Waiting4another Haha! Bless him. That's cute. So proud of his ejaculate 😆

@Qwom I got a test online for DH’s swimmers last time just before we were thinking of ttc because he was quite worried about it. He was beaming and chest puffing for days when the test turned bright purple indicating he was ok haha! Men!

@Waiting4another it is a dirty job but someone has to do it 😂 this is our first cycle TTC (11 yo DS from another 'relationship') so will try SMEP. As much as I love DTD I need OHs swimmers to be tip top 😁

Hi @littleeggcup 👋🏻

Thank you @Qwom, 17/18 is pretty late in your cycle! Do you SMEP? That would be a pretty exhausting amount of BD 🤣

Welcome @littleeggcup, sorry to hear about your ectopic. Hopefully you get a sticky little bean this time. Are you ttc your second bub?
