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

Will do@Kiaa

Kiaa · 16/11/2021 21:06

@Borolass84 hopefully a good sign for you let us know how you go x

Borolass84 · 16/11/2021 09:26

Pretty much the same @Kiaa and @has30 apart from needing to wee more often but not sure if that’s true as I have an overactive bladder anyway! Also got sore nipples which is a new thing for me. good luck to you both

Kiaa · 16/11/2021 01:04

@has30 yes same now I only have headaches and having to wee more Af is due Thursday so I will just wait I think

Kiaa · 16/11/2021 00:59

@Borolass84 fingers crossed for you 🤞

has30 · 15/11/2021 20:27

@Kiaa I'm due AF on Sunday so will be testing at some point. To be honest not feeling very optimistic have no symptoms... how are you?

Borolass84 · 15/11/2021 20:08

@Kiaa I was due AF yesterday. Still no sign so I’m testing end of the week if still no show.

Kiaa · 14/11/2021 21:30

When you decide to test only to get a indent and more confused 🤦‍♀️had a temperature spike tho
Anyone testing this week ?

Kiaa · 12/11/2021 22:59

@kmbegs aww thank you 😀
Yes I really hope so 🤞sending positive vibes your way 🌟

Kiaa · 12/11/2021 22:54

@has30 good idea best to get checked hopefully last week goes fast for us 😀

kmbegs · 12/11/2021 21:50

@Kiaa thank you, fingers crossed for you as well. Please let November be our month!! Re testing, honestly it's hard to imagine AF won't come on Monday (or spotting before which lets me know it's coming) so hard to even imagine I'll get to testing, but fingers (and everything else) crossed.

has30 · 12/11/2021 20:31

@Kiaa 6dpo for me. Nothing to report here either apart from my yellow discharge haha! I think I'll book a gp appointment after everyone's advice thank you all!

whymewhyme · 12/11/2021 20:25

@has30

Sorry about TMI but I've got yellow discharge, I'm talking like mustard yellow! Doesn't smell, no signs of infection. Any one any ideas haha?? How's everyone doing?
This could be group b strep, you need to go get a swap at the doctors.
Kiaa · 12/11/2021 20:25

@has30 the 2ww this time has been different not many symptoms other then weeing more & temperature higher this cycle only 8dpo tho

@kmbegs
That's great news my temperature is higher this cycle as well fingers crossed this is the lucky cycle 🌟 are you going to test Monday?

Kiaa · 12/11/2021 20:20

@has30 I've had yellow discharge in past cycles but not mustard dark
Could be a good sign🤞when are you testing?

kmbegs · 12/11/2021 12:42

@Aubyone I've had yellow-ish discharge before and found this helpful: www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322232

I'm guessing it's not an STI but could be a bacterial infection and you can get tests for that stuff in boots I think (or your GP). Or maybe if you're on new supplements could be that?

Im 10DPO with temps going up still, which has never happened for me before, so I'm feeling probably stupidly hopeful. This is my 9th month trying. AF due Monday but just going to let myself be hopeful until then! How is everyone else going?

Thank you @mrsS21 and @has30 ❤️

Will definitely be having a glass of wine tonight that’s for sure 😂 Trying to be positive as it’s the first cycle in around 4/5 months I’ve been bang on time and AF has started first thing in the morning. Cycles have been anything from 25-34 days for a few months now, I think back in July AF started a whole 8 days early which was bizarre. So I’m happy a little that things seem to be a bit more normal. Oh well, at least with ttc you can always say you can try again this month!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

mrsS21 · 10/11/2021 13:43

So sorry @L0ts it’s never nice when af arrives instead of a bfp. 💐

has30 · 10/11/2021 13:07

@L0ts so sorry to hear AF and that you're feeling rubbish about it. I think you should try out the SMEP next month, it will give you something to focus on. I don't think you should knock yourself for saying it's only 4 months, every month AF arriving is disappointing especially when you don't have an end date to look forward to! Eat lots of chocolate and have a glass of wine that's what I always do on the day AF arrives haha!

L0ts · 10/11/2021 12:34

Thanks ladies @Kiaa @WingingIt101x

L0ts · 10/11/2021 12:33

I feel really down about it this cycle for some reason, I guess I’m going back to that ‘it’ll take forever’ mindset. I know four months isn’t really that long at all in the grand scheme of things but ergh. I’m thinking about following the SMEP this cycle and maybe trying preseed!

Kiaa · 10/11/2021 12:11

@L0ts aww so sorry :( hope your ok xx

WingingIt101 · 10/11/2021 11:25

Sending love @L0ts xx

L0ts · 10/11/2021 11:02

AF arrived today ladies, on to cycle four 😩
