Anyone else ttc #2? Thread 2

@AmberRH1993 Argh I'm so tempted to go and get one! I have a digital in the drawer but I kinda want to save it till next week just to see if it detects an increase in HCG levels!

@GreenFlipFlop that is definitely a line! Those tests are 20mIU if I'm not wrong - a frer is around 7mIU so in theory you should have a definite line on a FRER.

Just took a test..currently 11DPO. Pretty sure I can see a line! Quietly excited but terrified it's another chemical 😫

Hi all. Just checking i I'm trying to be relaxed this month so not using opks. I think I'm in fw so just going to try and dtd a couple of times and then enjoy Xmas with some drinks. Assuming Boris doesn't ruin it....

Thank you @Chanel05 for adding me to the group. How are you all doing? I'm glad im not alone in this 😀.Currently 15 dpo, having lots of symptoms but still BFN so not sure if im out yet or not.

@BabyBird20 yes I still have my data from TTC#1 - I kept a week by week diary of my symptoms and development throughout too so if I do conceive, it won't just be the TWW symptoms I'll be madly comparing 🤦

Bless her! I would take it but I think my partner would be less keen, he just wants the one 😂

@Weeturtles that's so frustrating. I hope it happens for you soon! My daughter when asked if she wanted a brother or a sister said 'both, I want twins'. I'm not too keen on that idea !

Same here, my 9 year old claims she's the only only-child in her class! Although she won't be for much longer on her dad's side. I'm so frustrated I waited until what I thought was the right time, bought the house, got the degree and started my career, found the right partner, now it's not happening.

@Weeturtles she's 4. I feel like most people had their second when theirs was 18 months-2 ish and I feel like I'm really late to the party! But it took a long time for us to come to the decision for a second because of several different things - I had PND etc

Thank you @girafferafferaffe 😊 how old is your first?

Fingers crossed for you this time!

Can I join you all?
I've been TTC for 13 months now (15 cycles) which has been a shock after conceiving my first without trying at 21 (now 30).
Struggling at the moment as my best friend is pregnant and my daughter is due to become a big sister for the first time through her dad and his partner. Would be lying if I said I wasn't sobbing when I think about it.

Had my booster today so not going to be able to symptom spot anymore as I won't know what's what! Good thing really :)

Has anyone else had shooting pains in their boobs before a bfp? I’m probably just symptom spotting too much but they aren’t sensitive to touch, but several times today I keep getting shooting achy pains in each one! Don’t usually have this before AF. I’m 10DPO. I can’t remember having this when I was pregnant with DS though either so it’s probably nothing.

Hey all - wondering if I can join? Be nice to have some people to talk to... this TTC thing tests my patience!

We are TTC no. 2, it's our first cycle of trying. We have a 15mo DD already :)

I'm on CD 31 (14dpo at least, potentially more - not entirely sure when I ovulated but definitely don't think it was later than 14 days ago due to tracking CM) , I usually have a 26 day cycle (occasionally it is longer but it hasn't been since July 2021!), and I do "feel" kind of pregnant, but have had a string of BFN so I'm really confused as to what is going on. I've had cramping since a week ago on and off, and I have more CM than usually do before my period... so yeah, just completely confused!

Sounds like some others are late but still getting BFNs? Hope you all get some confirmation soon either way!

Thanks @Tjsmjs and @ExPatHereForAChat , I might buy one from Amazon when af arrives in a few days! Had another stark white bfn this morn but not due on til Monday/weds depending on my cycle so still jn with a very slim chance I guess! 😬🤞🏻

Does anyone else still have their app data from the month they conceived #1? I still have mine in my clue and clear blue apps and am obsessively comparing day by day with this month looking for similarities!! 😬😂

@babybird20 my husband let me use his Oura ring for a fortnight. I wouldn't advise it though as it's very clunky and it doesn't give you your actual temperature, just your trend.

I hope you have a fabulous Christmas with your family @Goodgoodthings. Sending you lots of positivity and baby dust for the new year!

I’m 10DPO and since yesterday evening I keep getting shooting pains in my boobs which I don’t usually get, usually they are just achey to touch a couple of days before AF. Really trying not to get my hopes up though because I’ve got my usual AF type cramps and sensitive smell which I always get.

AF showed up today so I'm out this cycle! Happy to start fresh and seeing my luteal phase getting longer which is great news.

I'll be quiet on here for a few weeks I expect to enjoy Christmas with a bit less stress. Wishing you all a really lucky and peaceful few weeks, I'll keep my eye out for your BFPs ✨

Hi ladies, I wanted to join in here 😊 My DS is 2 this month and it's out 1st cycle ttc following my natural period after coming off the pill. I'm currently 10/11 dpo and have had lots of symptoms that I recognise from my last pregnancy - sensitivity to smells, back ache, pelvis ache, white bumps on nipples etc.

This time around I'm trying opks and still haven't got the hang of them yet I don't think but my cycle is probably still trying to adjust after the pill. AF is due on 22nd pending I ovulated when I think I did 🤔

Congratulations to all the ladies who have their Xmas BFPs ♥️

@Katie2021 Aw I hope it comes for you soon or you get your BFP! The limbo is awful! I had a chemical pregnancy a couple of months ago and I was in the same limbo! In the end AF came 8 days late (I'm normally like clockwork so was really baffled) and I think I just ovulated late. 13 days is long though, really hoping for your BFP! 🤞🏾
Will def keep updated on the jab! I actually read a thread on here where people who were struggling TTC ended up getting their BFPs after the booster...let's hope! 😂

So I’m out. Period has appeared as expected. Hope those still waiting get their BFP this month.

@BabyBird20 I use a thermometer I got of Amazon. Not sure how accurate it is but I’m using it alongside OPKs. The ovulation prediction matched up for both. I use fertility friend

@Katie2021 sorry that you are waiting so long. That must be very frustrating.

@Katie2021 that must be really hard to be that late and not know what's going on! Poor you. I hope you get an answer either way soon!
