Anyone else ttc #2? Thread 2

@lovesT definitely had cramping and loads of CM before my BFP! Are you hot? I sweated so bad at night in bed with both my pregnancies!

@Tjsmjs definitely will! Oh that's really good, so next month isn't out for you 👍

@lovesT thank you. Please update us either way but I do hope it is a bfp for you soon.
Trying to keep positive. As this cycle was long my DH will be home the day before my predicted ovulation instead of the day after so another positive.

@Tjsmjs thank you ❤️ that's good that your cycle was longer, it's good to find the positives! I hope you don't feel too down and it will happen for us soon x

@lovesT that sounds promising. I know you don’t want to get your hopes up but I do have my fingers crossed for you.
I’m doing ok thank you. My spotting stopped after a couple of hours and then didn’t get anymore until today. Lots of spotting today and it is my usual pre Af type. I’m sure AF is coming today/tomorrow but on the bright side this month’s cycle has been 26 days which is long for me!

@GreenFlipFlop also that's exactly it, I can't face a negative test so I don't know if it's easier to wait or not haha. But I think I'm preferring to wait this time and let my body tell me.

@GreenFlipFlop ah I hope so. Yeah there so feel like there are differences this month but it's so easy to look into each detail 😄 I've also Google's the cm thing and other women have said it was a sign for them but who knows! I'll keep you all updated and either way I find this thread so helpful, I did the first time TTC too!

@lovesT your signs all sound promising! When I got my BFP in Dec I remember having cramping but it was too early for my period and I'm not usually early so thought that was weird, also no sore boobs but quite sore nipples I think? I think I also remember having extra CM which was weird and googling if it was a sign of my period arriving even though I'd never noticed it before? It's so hard though because you read into everything! I think I was too afraid to test too because I couldn't face another negative test and the thought of another cycle and all the waiting 😩

@GreenFlipFlop aww thanks, I'm really trying to prepare myself for either a negative test or period. I will wait until at least tomorrow, I don't want to test too soon! These cramps are so confusing especially as I do get them as part of pms but also (sorry TMI again) the last few days I'm sure I've had more cm that usual for this time of month, it's sometimes clear and also stretchy not quite ewcm definitely different but I don't remember having that before before period unless I'm just looking for things! I'm sure things are usually a bit more dry around this time of month 😳. Ahh it's torture isn't it. Also, no sore boobs which I have had the last 2 months so I'm not sure if that means anything 😕.

All I remember from the first time we conceived was I kept feeling like I was coming on but nothing ever happened and that lasted a while (not the 1-2 days Google tells you about.

Anyone who's still on here and pregnant, did you have any symptoms before testing?

@lovesT argh I've got everything crossed for you this month! Do you think you'll test? Or wait till missed period?

@Skylark1990 I usually have cramps as part of pms the week before my period but I'm pretty sure they usually get worse and not as many breaks in between but of course that could just be my mind saying what it wants to hear! Really trying to expect to come on to avoid feeling too sad when it happens ... I got my peak on the 15th so maybe 10 or 11? The waiting is so hard and disappointment even harder 😞 I hope some of us get bfps this month x

@lovesT if you are having cramps that are mild but no blood that is a good sign!! Fingers crossed for you! How many dpo are you approx? X

@Tjsmjs sorry that it hasn't happened this month 😞 how are you doing?

@Skylark1990 I'm still getting mild cramps but sometimes nothing. I keep expecting to come on but I haven't yet and I know it's ridiculous but I'm too nervous to test or see what cd I am. I don't think I'm quite on the cd where I would expect to come on but should be in the next few days but that's hard too as it could be anything from cd 28-32. I'm telling myself these intermittent mild cramps are pms but in the back of my mind I know I had cramps that would come and go when pregnant with my daughter. I really think I'll come on soon but will keep you updated. Sometimes I have cramps and think here we go and then nothing x

How are you going @lovesT I have everything crossed for you!

I am cd 14 now so firmly in the fertile window and we have been DTD every 2 days so far. Haven't had my LH peak yet but line seems to be getting slightly darker 🤞 💫

Hope everything is doing well, sorry about the bfns - 🤞🤞🤞 for next month. This is such a rollercoaster ❤️

So I caved and took a test this morning at 10dpo. Used a frer and it was a bfn. After I took the test I started spotting so that’s me out. Good luck for the others waiting this month. X

@Tjsmjs thank you! Hopefully that takes some of the stress away as it's been such a stressful month annoyingly. I feel very PMS-y today but so far nothing. It is a rollercoaster and so hard each month not knowing! I hope af doesn't come for you x

@lovesT congratulations on the house. Hopefully it will be a lucky month for you. It is hard not to get your hopes up. I think TTC is a horrible rollercoaster at times. I’ve had some cramping this evening so pretty sure Af will show up on time on Thursday.

@Tjsmjs could be, but I'm too nervous to get my hopes up haha. It keep coming and going and so far only mild. No sore boobs yet but I've only had that the last couple of months so not really something I can rely on .. just keep waiting and trying to keep my hopes down.

Our offer was accepted on a house today which was a huge relief, to conceive too would be the best thing ever .. we'll see.

@lovesT it could be implantation though- cramping and you can get increased discharge so don’t count yourself out.

@Chanel05 you aren’t out until AF shows. I didn’t get a bfp with my son until 13dpo. I’m cycle 9. I think cycle 6 can be a tough one, milestone wise but just remind yourself that 80% will conceive in 1 year so the odds are in your favour. Unfortunately it takes time (and I’m very impatient so have to remind myself regularly)

I've had some light cramps and ( sorry TMI .....) feel a bit " wet" down there so I feel like I might come on but I don't know what cd I am as too scared to look haha.

@Tjsmjs Oh I didn't know about vitamin e for luteal phase. I'm taking Pregnacare Conception and Omega 3 plus just trying to eat and drink better and I have limited sugar this past month. I did basically do no sugar (biscuits etc) for most of the month and no squash but it was my birthday and my daughter's birthday so cake couldn't be completely avoided! I've definitely had less this month though.

That would be a lovely date, wait and see 😊

@Chanel05 we'll be cycle 6 too if we're not successful this month and will be very fed up 😞 I've been super stressed so to be honest I wonder if that means it won't happen. We're trying to buy a house and it's so so stressful and I feel like that combined with TTC is tipping me over the edge! I hope it's soon for all of us x

That should say co-enzyme q10.

@lovesT I’m taking pre conception by pregnacare, enzyme for 10 and vitamin e to help with my short luteal phase. I only started the second 2 in January and apparently it takes 3 months before you see results so I will see. How about you? I also found an old memory that my positive pregnancy test for my son was on 27th feb so if it would be amazing to get a positive on the same day. I would be 13dpo then but I don’t think I can hold out that long and AF should show before then.

I so hope so 🙏🤞 fingers crossed for you too @Tjsmjs. The wait is so hard. Are you taking vitamins etc? Anything that might help? Even sometimes I find the placebo effect is enough to give me some hope. There is still hope until af arrives x
