So 7DPO on cycle 5 TTC No 2.

Completely stressed. Not working at the moment so nothing to distract me! Anyone else in the TWW want to keep me company 😊.

Obsessing over every possible symptom! Help!!

@StaryEyes1978
Thanks for the warm welcome and sharing your story. Here goes mine….
Divorced 1st husband 13 years ago. Married 2nd husband a few years later. My kids are from 1st marriage(3 in total). Had my tubes tied after daughter born 15 years ago. Then bam! Baby fever kicks in. Hubby on board to have one (I secretly want 2 more). Got tube reversal surgery july 2020. Almost convinced surgery not successful, then realized pregnant last month. Lost in 2 days later as a chemical. Here we are. Trying again.

@Beth262 @Jlcw @Clem90 Welcome to the Madhouse! Lol. The more the merrier!

I'm 43 trying for no 2! Everything stacked against me (also possibly peri menopausal ) but I'm giving it til my 44th birthday and If it doesn't work by then I'll give up (I have til end of April).

I had No 1 just before I turned 40. She was unplanned and I was on the pill (i'd have thought It was a lie if it came from
Someone else's mouth 😂😂😂).

Hubby was happy with one. I asked a few times (I wanted two) up until my 42nd birthday and then accepted my lot
And moved on. 6months ago and "bam" he decides he would like another! 🤦🏻‍♀️

So here I am. Desperate For it to work, terrified in case it does (I'm old) , excited to give my DD a sibling (she'd make
An amazing Big sis) but petrified that it's all going to end in heartache!

That said I am loving hearing other peoples stories and I am sprinkling baby dust and the best of wishes and hopes around for everyone! I love to hear the success stories. 😊

@Jlcw gotta love these doctors who think we have time to waste! Sorry to hear about your cp and everything crossed for you too 🤞

@Clem90 wish I'd gone with the digital opk. Might have been a bit easier to read 😂

Hello
I’m almost the same, 4th cycle for #2 and 6 days from my static smile.
Im already feeling slightly obsessed, don’t usually test early as I prefer to live in hope 😂
We defo timed it best we’ve managed so far so i’ve got everything crossed.
First time adding to a thread so hopefully this is a lucky one for us all.

@Beth262
Hi there! I also ttc after cp last month. Doc said wait out a cycle, but I just couldn’t. I am 40 & ttc#4 (after 15 year break). 11dpo today. Frer test arriving from amazon on monday hopefully af doesn’t show.
Good luck to you 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Beth262 · 25/11/2021 20:56

Hi ladies can I join please?

Ttc#2 and currently 7dpo if I've done my opk correctly 🙈 Had a cp last month but rather than wait out a cycle (too old for that at 39!) trying to use opk to estimate. Told myself I'm just going to forget about it til 15/16 dpo but already prodding my boobs every hour to see if they're hurting yet 😂

Amie1993 · 25/11/2021 20:29

@StaryEyes1978 I know it’s so frustrating I definitely wouldn’t even take any notice of any twinges and aches if I wasn’t TTC! Hopefully this is our month! Halo ! I got excited earlier because my temperature raised a degree for a whole morning… then I googled and realised it actually goes down for implantation ffs Envy. Think I’m going to stay off google now haha xx

@Amie1993 Our bodies are sent to fool us (also PMS symptoms so similar
To early pregnancy). I had no symptoms at all last month! Literally none (normally do) so got a bit excited but big fat nope! This month will be our month! Sprinkling baby dust for us all! 😊😊😊xx

@20viona I've been relatively relaxed up to now (with a small wobble of obsessive POAS in cycle 3 😂😂). But can feel myself starting to count down the days again so trying to distract myself!

I’m on 6dpo here and it’s a killer I hate the wait ! Sad I’m getting all the typical PMS symptoms so not holding out too much hope !

MrsYan · 25/11/2021 15:03

Hey! I'm 2DPO so a little behind you both. But I would love some TWW friends.

It's a lot of emotions and stuff to deal with! X

20viona · 25/11/2021 14:07

Hey I'm 6DPO ttc #2. Only been properly trying a couple of months and it's easy to get obsessed so trying to chill out this month. I got pregnant after 6 weeks with my first so it's a lot to live up to.
