Hello,
I couldn't see a thread for ladies trying for baby no 2, so I thought I'd start one.
I'm nearing the end of cycle 3, 12DPO today, AF due on Wednesday. Having all sorts of symptoms that I don't usually get.
My first LO turned 2 a couple of months ago.
Look forward to hearing others' stories 😊

Well there you go @MamaSJ15 🙌🙌🙌 fantastic!

@EJLM ah yes of course, makes sense you'd want to leave it until after AF is due. Hopefully you'll get your BFP too!

MamaSJ15 · 17/08/2021 13:26

@coles85 did a clearblue this time. 😁

I'm glad you're doing okay 😊

@coles85 are the chemical last month I was hoping to wait until a couple days after AF due but who knows I'm already symptom spotting eyeroll! how you feeling? x

coles85 · 17/08/2021 12:17

Let us know how the test goes @MamaSJ15 ! Although that was a pretty firm positive you had there, no doubt about it.

I'm doing well thanks, a bit of nausea but that's all!

When will you be testing @EJLM?

MamaSJ15 · 17/08/2021 11:17

Thank you @ejlm and good luck!!

@MamaSJ15 Huge congratulations! I'm officially in the TWW hopefully I wont be far behind you x

MamaSJ15 · 17/08/2021 10:03

Thank you for the reassurance @coles85
Haha yeah, he's not long started there and he works for my dad so best not to distract him 😂
Ahh yeah I will thank you. I'm going to test again at lunch time just to be doubly sure! Haha but I will call asap.
How are you doing?

@MamaSJ15 you must be so shocked! I don't blame you for feeling all over the place. You kind of assume you're out once AF comes.

One of my good friends had a lot of bleeding early in her pregnancy. It turned out to be a haematoma so nothing at all sinister, but she was also a bit Hmm thinking she'd had her period too.

You must be very excited to tell your DP. Good plan not to distract him at work if he's using machinery haha!

Also, give your booking service a call - you might remember there was a HUGE wait when I called mine. Not sure where you're based, but if it's anything like here, the sooner you get booked in the better.

MamaSJ15 · 17/08/2021 09:02

@coles85 I know!! I'm still bleeding now, just assumed it was a period but it seemed a little different. I haven't even told DH yet, he'd already gone to work and works with machinery, don't want to text him and he be distracted 😂 my head is a bit all over the place if I'm honest!!

coles85 · 17/08/2021 08:58

@MamaSJ15 whaaaaaaat!?!? Congratulations!!! What a shock!!! So that weird period wasn't a period after all!!!
How are you feeling? I hope you're doing ok after deciding to put TTC on hold for a bit. What a head f*ck! Very excited for you x

MamaSJ15 · 17/08/2021 08:42

Hi all, sorry to jump back on, but I thought I would take a test before I went back on the pill just to rule it out (and I've been on AF since Sunday) to find this...
I would never have known... Omg!!

Well clearly whatever I felt yesterday was not ovulation as I had peak static smiley on my CB this morning and have just had a serious dye stealer on my easy@home and still having EWCM so ov clearly hasn't happened yet!

I appreciate no one really wants to see my pee stick but I've never had as strong positive as this on an ov test and am so glad we haven't missed things this month.

DH is wfh today so will DTD a bit later and hope there are some swimmers there from yesterday 🤞🤞🤞

coles85 · 16/08/2021 09:42

@MamaSJ15 sorry to see you leave the group. I hope you're ok. Best of luck and hopefully we'll see you soon xxx

darcey87v2 · 16/08/2021 08:43

Lovely to chat with you too @MamaSJ15, take care - hope you're ok

MamaSJ15 · 15/08/2021 21:18

Hi all, we've actually decided to stop TTC for a while so I'm going to remove myself from any TTC threads that I'm on. It was lovely to speak with you all and I wish you all the BFPs!! Good luck everyone 😊

@darcey87v2 I always get ovulation pains every month so don’t have to track mine! Feels like a stitch for me

@MamaSJ15 ahh sorry about AF. Sigh. That first day of disappointment is worst. An then after a few days your over it. Such a rollercoaster this ttc business.

On we continue lol xx

coles85 · 15/08/2021 19:04

Ah that sucks @MamaSJ15 but you're on your new cycle now so hopefully this is the one!

@darcey87v2 hopefully you managed it in time 🤞 now for that TWW which feels like forever! I hope it goes quickly

I'm doing well thanks, only minor symptoms so far. Not had any appointments yet so still doesn't feel real in all honesty! Contemplating getting an early scan just to satisfy my own curiosity. But then I think, what's the point, just wait! Still got nearly another 5 weeks until my scan though

darcey87v2 · 15/08/2021 08:40

Well we did and then almost immediately afterwards I felt ov pains and I had EWCM 🤷‍♀️ I don't know how long sperm take to get to target so if it basically being the same time means I'm out but gave it a go! Used conceive plus and lay with my bum in the air for 30 minutes just in case.

Also quite relieved I have had some ov symptoms. I do sometimes wonder if what I think ov pain is something else entirely but it's always alternating sides each month, always the right time in my cycle and it's quite a distinctive feeling so I think I'm right.

Sorry AF is here properly @MamaSJ15 but at least that means you're onto the next cycle and could be pg in just a couple of weeks!

How are you doing @coles85? Glad you have stuck around to give us all hope!

MamaSJ15 · 15/08/2021 07:54

@darcey87v2 okay, AF has arrived properly now! I can now class this as CD1 of cycle 5 😊

OP posts:
coles85 · 14/08/2021 23:29

@darcey87v2 I agree with @MamaSJ15 , why not!?!? If you DON'T try then there's 100% chance of a BFN. But if you do DTD then there's hope...

MamaSJ15 · 14/08/2021 21:37

@darcey87v2 I'll update you in the morning, still not much going on and if it's still the case tomorrow I'll test again.

If it was me, I'd go for it. There's no harm in it! Just have some fun and see what happens 😊

OP posts:
darcey87v2 · 14/08/2021 21:12

Ooh that's intriguing @MamaSJ15! Let us know what happens... fingers crossed good news but if not then you're already into your next cycle so not long before you can try again. Sounds like the relaxed approach is working well for you 😊

Well I've finished the medication pack and apparently it exits your system within hours. I am due to ovulate tomorrow according to app but have had no EWCM and all my easy@home ov sticks have been light. Didn't do any sticks yesterday though. Wondering if being so ill has delayed ov 🤔

I'm umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to just DTD tomorrow and onwards just in case. Part of me thinks it'll just get my hopes up when I haven't tried 'properly' this cycle and end up disappointed, part of me thinks there's a chance and what's the harm, I'll be disappointed anyway due to the missed opportunity.

Wwyd?

MamaSJ15 · 14/08/2021 18:47

@coles85 anything is possible. It would just be nice to know either way really haha. I've never had spotting before, only ever full on period. I'm not having cramps at all, just aches really.
