Hi everyone, it’s my first post on mumsnet, I spent a LOT of time reading through these threads when ttc my son and they helped so much.

Now I’m back ttc my second and it is only our second cycle and I am already much more desperate for it to happen than I was the first time around with my son 3 years a go.

I think it’s because it took us 10 cycles to conceive my son and I’m already heartbroken over it potentially taking that long (or longer) this time around.

Anybody else out there ttc their second baby and feeling the same anxiety? I swear I drove myself mad last cycle, it’s no wonder it happened really, I was borderline insane with googling, symptom spotting and even poas as early as 4dpo Confused

@has30
Haha it's so hard to resist testing bring on Sunday!!! Have you had any symptoms?

I've felt so sick past few days my app changed my date saying I'm 4dpos this 2ww already driving me crazy 😂

Hi ladies, am also TTC #2. Just started Cycle #7 after early CP and MC. I’m hoping to have a hycosy and a progesterone test this month.
@Dav87 I’m also using ovusense!

One week till AF is due. Was all chilled about it and now I'm starting to think how soon can I test!! Every month I do this to myself haha!!

Going to write it out here... I shall not test till next Sunday! Let's see if I can last!

How's everyone else doing? Hope you're okay @L0ts

L0ts · 09/10/2021 17:10

Also thank you everyone for being so lovely and supportive, it means a lot ❤️

L0ts · 09/10/2021 16:54

Hi guys! Just keeping this updated. I expected AF any day from yesterday and she’s still a no show. Haven’t tested again as I can’t bare the heartache, would rather see AF arrive and get straight back in to a fresh cycle.

Still have all the aches and niggles that I’ve been having, so a little confused tbh. Last night it was a very prominent ache on the right hand side of my pelvis quite low down, can’t describe it any better than that. Felt like I’d been repeatedly prodded in that spot. God knows what my body is doing.

Sorry you got AF @Dav87 😩 It’s a good way of looking at it though! You know for sure you ovulated after looking at your chart and AF arrived on time so I would see both of those as positives. Fingers crossed for the next cycle 🤞🏻

Dav87 · 09/10/2021 09:26

@L0ts So sorry to hear this, I can’t even think how that must feel 😢💔 Thinking of you.

AF arrived here this morning after what I thought was such a promising looking chart!
Then my temp dropped right down this morning and here she is. I’m taking it as a good sign that my body did everything it was supposed to do, and despite my PCOS it actually looks quite good.

Onto next month! 🤞🏻

Baby dust and positive vibes to everyone - it’ll happen for us all soon, I’m sure ❤️

@L0ts so sorry to hear sending you baby dust for next month 🌟

RunningOnHope · 08/10/2021 20:21

So sorry @L0ts, that's really disappointing. Hopefully a step towards more joy next month!

has30 · 08/10/2021 16:25

@L0ts I'm so sorry to hear this. It must be so disappointing to see the negative tests. Let's hope AF doesn't take too long to come around and you can start prepping again for next month.

blueberryy · 08/10/2021 15:58

@L0ts I had a chemical the month before I conceived my DS. I believe it came a day or two late, but nothing too out of the ordinary.

L0ts · 08/10/2021 15:45

Thanks @blueberryy ❤️ It is only our second month and I guess it’s promising a little to know it’s actually possible.

Just have to wait for AF now. Is it usually late with a CP does anybody know?

blueberryy · 08/10/2021 15:20

@L0ts I'm so sorry 😞 it's so hard not to test, and it's just so hard when you get some hope and then it goes away.

L0ts · 08/10/2021 15:18

I think I am experiencing my first CP 😔 Tests ever since have all been BFN. I’m heartbroken 😔 I will never ever test early again, I would never have known if I had just waited for AF. Who is still a no show but I expected her any day from today really.

Kiaa · 08/10/2021 00:34

@L0ts definitely looks darker 💫

Kiaa · 08/10/2021 00:32

@has30 that's so good , this is true the closer it gets the more it hard to resist symptoms & testing , hoping the last week goes super fast for you 🤞
I finally got my peak 2 days ago just waiting for temperature to rise & countdown is on 😁

@L0ts I'm sure I can see a line in the first of the few photos you posted. Good luck I really hope this is it for you!

@blueberryy congratulations on the line too! Fingers crossed this is a lucky month for us all!

has30 · 07/10/2021 19:31

[quote Kiaa]@has30 how are you going in 2ww ?[/quote]
I'm actually doing surprisingly well so far, really trying to keep my mind off it. But I find the first week easier than the second. AF isn't due till 17th keep telling myself I'm not going to test till then but I'm sure I'll crack!!! How are you getting on??

blueberryy · 07/10/2021 18:41

@RunningOnHope I think Sunday or Monday. I believe it takes 48 hours to double, right, so thinking it may not make sense until then. Also... allows me to hold onto this positive result a little longer.

RunningOnHope · 07/10/2021 18:08

So glad you got a faint line @blueberry, how long will you wait before testing again? I've had 24 hours now of very light spotting, on and off. It's consistent with implantation, yet also consistent with the slow build up to AF Confused so will see how the next 24 hours goes...

blueberryy · 07/10/2021 16:41

[quote L0ts]@blueberryy At the bottom of the box you write in there’s a picture of a little paper clip, if you click that you should be able to select from your camera roll 🙂[/quote]
Ah. App only and you have to wait 48 hours until you're allowed to post, apparently! Well. Guess we'll see if there's still a line in 48 hours.

Wicked back pain though, just like AF so 🤷🏻‍♀️

@L0ts I have no idea how to add a photo!

L0ts · 07/10/2021 16:16

@blueberryy I can’t see a picture! 😩
