TTC baby #2

Hi @EllyNC291

@Mamatoalittlebear, welcome! A few of us are kind of following smep. Are you using opks/temping?

@Mommabear20, did the opks come?

I did a test this morning, just an internet cheapie and got the faintest line but it faded away after a few hours. Has that happened to anyone else? Might buy a frer?

Just realised it’s this thread I recognise names from haha I was on here before 🤣 (can I blame baby brain when my son is 1?!)

Hey everyone! Hope its ok to join in. I've been TTC baby no 2 for 8 months now. Already have a daughter who is very almost 4 yrs old. Starting to feel panicked by the time its taking to conceive. I have reg cycles and we've been pretty good with DTD. Going to try SMEP this month and see if we have any success.

Hi everyone! Can I join please? ☺️ See some familiar faces from another thread! Currently ttc no 2! I have a cheeky one year old ds!

Ugh, if I'm not pregnant I'm sick - tired, tearful, nausea. My boy is poorly though - he's got a tummy bug and won't eat or drink much but breast milk, and although he's happy in himself he just wants cuddles and rest.

My partner is really anti me testing early for some reason :s.

@Bellaphant ok let’s both try and hold out until Monday then!
Yes me too, I’ve had a crazy headache today, light cramping, I’m gassy and constipated as well (sorry tmi) and I’m driving myself mad lol

@Char899, maybe we'll test together :( I can't tell what's af, pregnancy or just me being a bit under the weather this week.

@Mommabear20 we did every day too early again I think, wore him out as we did like every day for 6 days, had a rest and then one more! Then neither of us fancied it for like five days, lol

@Bellaphant I’m trying to hold on until Monday too (10dpo) I’ve had so many af symptoms today though so I’m feeling a bit pants

@Char899 no, I'm trying to hold on til Monday (11-12 days), my partner is like 'just wait til you are due on' and I'm like....no.

How's everyone doing?

How’s everyone else doing? Anyone in their tww?

@Bellaphant have you managed to resist testing?

@Bellaphant go you!! 😅
I don’t breastfeed but I’m a sucker for sugar and all things bad for me! I too could do with improving my diet to help with ttc!

Dh is 22, lol

6 or 7, depending on where my peak actually was. Think if it isn't it this month I need to start watching what I eat more - but I'm sure it's the breastfeeding making me tired/hungry/using carbs and sugar to replace the energy. Does anyone else find that?

@Bellaphant I’m 31 and dh is 36. I was 29 when I had ds. I was meant to be due this weekend but I ovulated really late this cycle for some reason - literally almost a week later than normal so my apps have added another 6 days onto my cycle! 5dpo today (confirmed by temp spike and opks) not tested yet lol how many dpo are you?

@Mommabear20, I'm 32, wasn't with the right person til the last three years, lol

My lower back hurts like fuck today, due on next weds/Thurs so like...what? But I've also had a few psychical knocks this week so might just be sore!

Did people manage to hold off testing??

I am 40, 41 next week so feel quite anxious at trying to conceive at this stage in life. Just had a miscarriage/possible ectopic pregnancy and blood test reveals possible PCOS so we will see what happens. Good luck to everyone.

@Rapunzel91, good luck! I knew I wanted another almost straightaway, but waited a bit because I'd had an emcs.

How old are people on the thread, if noone minds?

Joining please! I have a 19 month old DD and I'd been so certain i didnt want anymore until a couple months ago when i slowly got broody. We decided to just see what happens but omg this past week had gone so slow! Forgotten how slow the days go when you're waiting to take a pregnancy test!
Period is due on Sunday and I've still not made my mind up if I'll test on the day, before or after... Also in two minds as it will mean a lot of challenges to have another as DP also has 2 children from a previous relationship. We'll see what happens!

I'm five dpo, been furloughed on Mondays so did some DIY today - needed to nap this afternoon though!

Trying for number 2 too. Big age gap though as my daughter is 6. I got by BFP in September but sadly ended in an eptopic pregnancy. Didn't need surgery or medical intervention however as was small and my HCG level was quite low so hoping it has resolved itself. Today after 6 weeks of positive tests I got a negative pregnancy test confirming that pregnancy is over. Such a strange feeling to be wanting a negative test as for the last 9 months all I have wanted is a positive test. But finally means I can move on. Waiting for my period now so I know what is happening with my cycle and will then be trying again. Good luck to all trying and hope you get your positive results soon x

@AngeloMysterioso sorry to hear af arrived 🙁 fx for you for next month!
