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

*Dpo not dpi

WingingIt101 · 26/10/2021 21:22

@Borolass84 I started doing ovulation tests on day 11, detected the surge on day 17 although my natural cycles app was suggesting I’d ovulate around day 21 so way out!

Today is 14DPO and I tested positive. My app said period was due Friday so I’m a few days early for that.

I figured 14 dpi was going to be close enough if it was positive and I’ve been feeling sick all day with a metal taste in my mouth

Borolass84 · 26/10/2021 20:46

Congratulations @WingingIt101 if you don’t mind me asking, how many days is it til your af due or how many days after did you test. Only asking as I had what I thought was implantation last Tuesday but finished Wednesday evening and had nothing since (AF was due last Saturday). So please to see someone have some success:)

WingingIt101 · 26/10/2021 18:40

Thank you ladies. Hoping it happens soon for everyone x

has30 · 26/10/2021 18:19

@WingingIt101 congratulations!!!! So happy for you!

L0ts · 26/10/2021 18:07

@WingingIt101 Oh my god! Congratulations!! So pleased for you! I am loving that we are having a positive each cycle on this thread ❤️😍

WingingIt101 · 26/10/2021 18:01

I tested.
It’s positive.

I’m in complete shock. I’d managed my expectations so hard I convinced myself it was AF.

I’m so happy but so scared too.

Wishing you all so much baby dust this cycle. X

WingingIt101 · 26/10/2021 14:18

Eek.

I’m 14DPO and feeling sick.
Natural cycles says I’m due on on Friday but it also thought I’d ovulate 4-5 days after my clearblue sticks detected LH surge.

Do I test or wait.
I wanna know. But also I don’t want the bfn.

Why is the mental rollercoaster so crazy!!

Borolass84 · 25/10/2021 15:33

Yes @L0ts that’s the plan! In the meantime trying to lose more weight; have lost a stone and a half so far so another stone to go Grin

L0ts · 25/10/2021 15:15

@Borolass84 Fingers crossed for you still! Maybe still use OPKS in case it was a small AF and that way you won’t miss ovulation if you’re in a new cycle? I think that would be my plan 😊

Borolass84 · 24/10/2021 19:03

Yes @has30 hope it was implantation rather than a small af last Tuesday fingers crossed 🤞🏻

has30 · 24/10/2021 18:48

@Borolass84 well it's a good sign there's been no AF over the weekend! Fingers crossed for you!!

Borolass84 · 24/10/2021 18:44

Thank you @L0ts. Not sure what’s going on as feel back to normal but no af which was due this weekend. Preferring tea as plop posed to regular coffees. Hope you get over your cold soon and good luck this month too Smile

L0ts · 24/10/2021 18:39

Hi @Borolass84 it all sounds very promising reading the symptoms you had earlier this week! My fingers are crossed for you, really hope this is your month!

I’m on cycle day 12 and haven’t confirmed ovulation yet via OPKs and temping, but I don’t think I’m due to ovulate for another 2-4 days! Have come down with this dreadful cold everybody seems to have atm so feeling pretty rotten 🤧

Borolass84 · 24/10/2021 10:47

Good morning @has30 I’m ok thank you; hope you are too! All symptoms are gradually fading but have resisted testing til next weekend Smile

has30 · 24/10/2021 10:44

@Borolass84 how are you getting on? Are you resisting testing? Any symptoms?

Borolass84 · 22/10/2021 15:03

@has30 thank you. I did a test today which came back negative (just impatient lol) I will do as you suggest and wait a week and retest. Will keep you updated. Hope you’re well Smile

has30 · 22/10/2021 14:46

@Borolass84 With my first I didn't get a positive till a week after my implantation bleeding. But everyone is different, I'm sure if you wait till Monday it should give you a clear result. Fingers crossed for you, keep us updated!

Borolass84 · 22/10/2021 09:42

That awkward moment when you’re wishing the weekend away lol. If no af over weekend when do you think I should test? I was thinking wait a week for a more clear result? Good luck everyone x

Kiaa · 22/10/2021 08:12

@Borolass84 no problem,
Oh good sign then not long till you can test 🌟
Yeah I'm ok just wanting the fertile week to hurry up already x

Kiaa · 22/10/2021 08:08

@mrsS21 no worries Aww fingers crossed they find out & fix your pain 🤞
I'm doing ok still at cd 3 I've bought 2 different opk packs this time double testing this month
I have so much family keep asking so the pressure is on
Yes definitely good to have someone to chat to that's not hubby he's had enough of me already 😂😂

Borolass84 · 21/10/2021 23:24

Thanks @Kiaa. Yes my af due over weekend so going to wait see what happens and go from there. No more implantation stuff going on but still feel nauseated and flushes. Hope you’re doing ok x

Borolass84 · 21/10/2021 23:22

Good evening @mrsS21 sorry for late reply. Still feel out of sorts headache nausea queesy feeling in stomach but no more bleeding. Hope you’re doing ok x

Borolass84 · 21/10/2021 23:21

Queesy not queeny lol

Borolass84 · 21/10/2021 23:21

Nothing today but still feel nausea. Stomach feels “queeny”. The strangest feeling is I feel like I hot up each evening. Asked the other half if he put the heating on and he replied “no” was too hot overnight in bed too. Too warm but not to the point of sweating more a rosy cheeks kinda glow. Also been having strange dreams the last few nights not sure if all this is linked though.
