Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

Hey @peaky297 i don’t know if you are still on here but just came across this post again and wanted to check in and see how you’re doing xx

@GemLou88 I'm so so sorry to hear that. I completely understand your decision to stop trying - sometimes you just have to do what's best to protect yourself and your emotional wellbeing. Yes - she will be one next month! Time flies!! X

Hey @peaky297 I’m doing well thank you. Unfortunately my last pregnancy in November ended in another loss. We are no longer ttc. It was a hard decision but we can’t keep going through losses.
How are you getting on? How’s your little girl? She will be coming to a year soon won’t she? Xx

@GemLou88 so sorry to hear that you've not had any luck. Have you seen your GP to see if they can get to the bottom of why it's not happening easily for you this time?
I'm good thanks, 23 weeks now and all seems to be going well so far thankfully! 🤞

Hey! Sorry it wouldn't let me reply to your last post annoyingly.
I'm so sorry for your loss - it's such a hard thing to have to go through 😢
So glad that message ended with good news though! Really hope this little one sticks for you - keep me posted! X

@GemLou88 hi!! Long time no speak!
How are you? I am good thanks - our baby girl was born in April and is currently on my lap! I really hope you're doing well? X

Oh I’m so happy for you! Congratulations! I’m well thank you. I had a miscarriage in January and we decided to stop trying. I didn’t go back on contraception, just avoiding dtd around ovulation. I was about to start having tests for pcos but I’ve just got a surprise BFP a few days ago x

I don't normally consider myself religious but attended church today. I said a prayer and lit a candle for everyone who is having difficulties TTC. There was something that happened to me lately that triggered these feelings. Good luck all ☘️

GemLou88 · 14/12/2023 22:18

Hey @peaky297 how are you?! Lovely to hear from you. How many weeks are you now?
Nothing new to report this end. Just a rollercoaster of shall we stop trying or keep going. It’s been just over a year of us trying now and giving it until April next year before we call
it quits x

@GemLou88 - randomly thought of you today. How are you getting along? X

Catson · 09/10/2023 15:12

@GemLou88 I haven't used either this cycle. I'm going to try not to use either until I'm a few cycles in, will maybe give it 3 then try OPKs, I think the pressure makes it worse for me, but it might be that I need to! I don't think BBT would work for me as my little one is often still awake through the night so I'm up and down, and I think you need a good period of uninterrupted sleep?

GemLou88 · 09/10/2023 14:46

@Catson this is cycle 10 I think. Trying for our second child. When is AF due? Are you using OPK’s or tracking BBT?

Catson · 08/10/2023 10:49

@GemLou88 this is our first cycle of properly trying so I just need to remember it's not likely at all! How many cycles are you on? Is this your first?

GemLou88 · 08/10/2023 10:14

Hi @Catson nice to have a cycle buddy. How long have you been ttc?
So glad everything was good at your scan @peaky297 are you going to find out the sex? Xx

@GemLou88 really pleased to hear that your bloods came back good - keeping everything crossed for you!
I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow - had my 12 week scan week before last and was relieved to say the least! X

Hello, I thought I'd jump on, I'm also 4 or 5dpo. Desperately trying not to symptom spot as I know its too early, but I can't help myself!

GemLou88 · 08/10/2023 09:35

Hey @peaky297 nice to hear from you! I’m doing ok. I think I’m on cycle 10 and 4 or 5dpo. Bloods from GP came back good and I took a hertility blood test and that came back pretty good. Just a waiting game I guess. How are you doing? How far along are you now? Xx

@GemLou88 just thought of you this morning - how are you doing? X

GemLou88 · 23/08/2023 22:04

Hey @peaky297 yes AF showed. I had a 61 day cycle. AF usually shows up at 11dpo but I got to 13dpo so really screwed with me. Giving up for a few cycles and calling the GP to get my thyroid levels tested tomorrow.
Hows everything going? Xx

Sorry I totally missed these responses!

@Hanban01 great stuff! Hope all is still going smoothly?

@GemLou88 did AF show up? X

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 17/08/2023 09:48

Hey @peaky297 how are you doing? I hope your pregnancy is going well.

@Hanban01 congratulations. Lovely line progression.

AF is currently 2 days late and I’m getting bfn on my tests so I’m going to wait a few more days, if AF doesn’t come then I’ll have to go to my GP

Hanban01 · 17/08/2023 08:47
