Anyone else ttc #2? Thread 2

Ah yes happy birthday to your DD @lovesT! What do you have planned? Hope she has a wonderful day 🥳

I'm ttc no2. My dd is 9. It's only our first month, but I'd like to join.

Happy Birthday to your daughter @lovesT!

@hollyT222 8dpo is still early, there's still a good chance! 🤞🏾

Had my 12 week scan today and thankfully everything is fine! So relieved and happy! I've been so nervous for it!

Hoping for lots more baby dust for everyone this month! ❤️

Ah I gave in and tested today at 8dpo and BFN. I need to stop symptom spotting but it’s so hard isn’t it! I know it’s early, I didn’t get a BFP until 11dpo with my son but it’s hard to not lose hope!

Hope everyone else is having a good week. Good luck to everyone, whatever stage of the cycle you’re in!

[quote lovesT]@PinkButtercup it's good to have support from people going through the same thing 🙂.

My daughter is 2 tomorrow 😊.

I've got ovulation cramps at the moment and a few twinges. We're doing every other day at the moment so hopefully that's good 😬[/quote]
Glad other people get ovulation pain/cramps. Mine was left side today. Sometimes it's central or all lower back or both sides 😂.

Oh how lovely! Happy 2nd Birthday for your daughter tomorrow!

Fingers crossed for you.

It's only in the last two days we've been trying and in all honesty tonight I'm so tired but I feel like because I'm at my peak I need to!

Yes due on on the second and hope AF doesn't arrive for you either.

Taken a paracetamol and the ovulation pain has worn off. Just light pink spotting when wiping which always happens around ovulation for me.
I hope this is your cycle! My DS is 2.5 and 3 in the summer. How old is your DD?

Hey @PinkButtercups I think I'm due to come on the same day as you according to my apps. I hope neither of us do though! 😄 Hope this time is as successful as your first. Our daughter took 5/6 months and we're in cycle 5 currently.

Hi everyone. TTC baby number 2.

I am ovulating today and feel it. Really bad ovulation pain today!

I fell pregnant with my DS straight away so hoping this is the same.

I won't find out until 2nd March! I know it's not far away but feels like it!

Wishing you all the best!

Hi everyone!

@lovesT ah that’s great! Hope you get your peak soon 🤞🏻

@Tjsmjs I use Femometer and fertility friend and like them both.

I’m 7 DPO today and despite being away for the weeeknd this feels like the longest TWW ever. I’ve had cramping again today and it feels a bit like it did with my son but I don’t want to get my hopes up. Going to try not to test until Thursday (10DPO).

How’s everyone else?

Sooo happy today to get dark lines on my ovulation tests 😂 ridiculous isn't it .. but I'm just glad things are hopefully working as they should. I'm hoping for a peak tomorrow but I have no idea 🤔 it has definitely helped me to understand my timing a bit better and I think it's later than I thought so that's good to know! Hopefully it will help us be successful soon 😬.

How's everyone? Any others around ovulation now? We can TWW together haha x

@GreenFlipFlop yes it's a good app! 😊 I think I must just ovulate a bit later these days. The ovulation stick picture upload thing is really helpful. Yes hopefully soon! I had my darkest line yet on an Amazon cheepie but it was with first morning urine so not sure if that's accurate? But it is darker than other ones I've done with fmu 🤞🤷

@Margo34 Congratulations! 🎉

@Skylark1990 Sorry about AF 😔 Hoping for some lovely baby dust for you this month xx

@lovesT I used the Premom app to analyse my OPKs and it was great! I used to use Glow before that but there were too many ads! Its much easier to scan on the Premom app too! Hopefully your positive will come soon, I'm sure you're close if you've got flashing smileys!

@Tjsmjs I've been using Clue for years but this month I downloaded Premom as lots of people on a FB group I'm on talk about it. If you are using OPKs you can up load the results there and it predicts your ovulation day. I'm not sure how reliable it is, it does seem good but I'm on day 16 today which is my predicted ovulation day but I haven't had a positive ovulation test yet 😕 I've had 3 days if flashing smileys now but no dark lines on Amazon cheepies so I'd imagine my actual ovulation day is later than it's saying!

It has lots of good tools on there though x

@Margo34 thanks I’ll take a look. I started using Femometer this month but might look at ovia. I just wonder if it is worth paying the extra but not sure what it actually adds

Thanks all. Exciting and daunting at the same time!

@Skylark1990 sorry to hear, baby dust and crossed fingers for your next cycle.

@tjsmjs I haven't paid for any apps, only use the free features to track. Femometer, Ovia and Fertility Friend. Despite entering exact same data on all 3, they all had slightly different dates for FW and OD! I prefer Ovia of those 3 apps, easier to use maybe.

Congratulations @Margo34. Hope you are feeling ok.

Sorry Af came @Skylark1990 it is always rubbish when it shows up. Hope you have luck this cycle.

@HollyT222 it could be implantation as you can implant at 6 days. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Finally got my peak LH today - a couple days later than I expected but not a bad thing as DH is home. If it had been Thursday as expected we would of only just been in the window.

Does anyone use any apps? Which ones and do you pay for the additional features?

Hello everyone. Sorry I’ve been in wales for the weekend with not much service! Hope everyone is ok.

Sorry AF arrived @Skylark1990. I know how disappointing it is but will keep my fingers crossed for you this month!

Congratulations @Margo34! Exciting!

I’m 6dpo and have had loads of cramps the last few days but I think it’s too early for implantation so not getting my hopes up. Also have my usual pre-period spot on my chin!

@Margo34 congratulations!!

Hope everyone is ok x

@Margo34 congratulations! That's very exciting. 😃🎉🎉

@Skylark1990 sorry that af came, it's so hard when you get your hopes up 😟 and so so difficult not to test early! It will happen. I find that when af comes I feel really sad and down but I feel better as the days go on and then ready to try again! Look after yourself x

Little update from me - AF arrived today so think my test must have been negative despite looking like a v v v faint line yesterday. Think I may not test early this cycle 😅😅 it's hard not to but also maybe less stress. I was super I'll earlier this month and had the MC month before so probably just wasn't the right time! Oh well ☹️

Congrats @Margo34!! 💫💫💫

Hope you're all well

So I've been so busy recently between work, house renovations, toddler and general life that I didn't do any symptom spotting at all this month so actually didn't notice I was late. It was only when my husband asked last night if we can play this weekend that it occurred to me - yes we can, but I shouldn't be able to..... Did a test fire thing today and it was an unquestionable positive 😍🥰😍

Hey all, how are you today? I need some second opinions.....
I'm 12dpo and I did another FRER this morning. A very very faint line came up but it's very hard to capture on the photo. Have had a go anyway... Can you guys see it?
I'm confused as if 12dpo I feel like it should be darker?! Unless it implanted really late I guess.

I COULD be 11 dpo perhaps but I don't think so. I've had a few symptoms but nothing major ... So I don't know what to think!!

Hi. I’ve not posted on here for a while but can I join again? Still no luck so now on cycle 9 I think. Last cycle was very short but now cycle day 11 today. Not had a rise in LH yet but should be in the next two/three days.

@Chanel05 that's good that it didn't make things too difficult, but sorry that you had a MC 😟. Our daughter took 5 or 6 months, I can't remember exactly but not too long. How old is your daughter? Mine is 2 next week 😊. We're on cycle 5 now too so we seem to be almost in sync!

I got my first flashing smiley on a clear blue today (they are out of date and some of them don't work) but I'm getting darker lines than I was before and it matches up with my cycle so hopefully things are looking more promising! We've only DTD twice this month and I feel like the OPKs have helped with not doing it when we're both exhausted at the end of the day ... So that's good 😊 the flashing smiley came on my birthday so that's made me happy!
