Anyone TTC #2 (or any #!)

Ah I have no idea on DPO either really, I reckon test again on the 3rd. Especially with irregular cycles it’s so hard to know isn’t it. Will keep everything crossed for you!

@NWnature I think I was just hoping. Damn evaps
Not sure DPO as don't track. I'm guessing around 14th so maybe 13/14dpo??
But I have long irregular cycles
My app is saying AF due around 3rd but test in 2 days

@BambiBooBoo I’m not sure I can see but I am rubbish at these things! How many days DPO are you?

Thought I could see something but now I think I've either got line eyes or it's an evap that came up really quick

Thanks @Seasalt1984 it definitely knocked me more than I thought it would. I will definitely give the ovulation sticks a go next month if no luck. Hope the coil appointment goes well! When is your wedding?

@BeaKind Totally with you on just flopping into bed. I hate feeling this lethargic but I just can’t seem to get into a routine with exercise, I start too early to cram it in the AM and I work a shorter day than I used to so usually work through lunch to try and keep on top of things. I think I will have to be more strict with getting out for a run on the weekends and one day when I WFH trying to use lunch or something. I can’t even face 20 mins in the evening at the moment once I’ve done bath and bedtime.

Oooh @Halpmer that looks like a pretty good line to me for 9dpo 🤞

@NWnature it took me a while to get back but I wasn’t really trying very hard. And tbh I feel like my body is carrying weight so differently postpartum. I feel much bigger than I did pre pregnancy but the same weight 🤯 agree that once I started back at work I was more sedentary and exercise is non-existent. At the end of the day I want to do nothing once little one is in bed. 😬

@Halpmer theres definitely a line!! Looking forward to seeing the progression. Congratulations :)

@Halpmer that definitely looks like a line! How exciting, everything crossed it progresses smoothly!

I had my call with nurse yesterday and have got appt next week to get coil out then we can get started! I've decided if I'm a bride with a bump then it means DC2 will have been at the wedding too which is pretty cool :)

@NWnature so sorry re your chemical. Not sure re app and dates, but it might be worth tracking with OPK as they will tell you when you're ovulating more reliably than an app? My app was a bit off with dates I started using OPKs.

@Halpmer that looks really good! Hopefully it progresses nicely!

BFN for me today

Eek I think that looks promising too @Halpmer !! Keeping everything crossed for you.

Hope everyone else has a great Friday- the weekend is nearly here.

According to Clue app I am 4DPO but I just don’t know how accurate the app would be after a chemical? As in the chemical was over a week later than my normal period but would the app adjust things accordingly? Who knows!

If it’s not too personal, has everyone got back to broadly prebaby1 weight? I actually lost the pregnancy weight pretty quickly via breastfeeding but the last year I have definitely put on weight having been back at work and found fitting in exercise night on impossible. I’m a bit worried about that too- getting massive from a higher starting point.

Haven’t used contraception that should say *

clearly too tired!

I’m also TTC number 2, we have used contraception since having our 17m old but now actively trying

im still breastfeeding, have PCOS, endometriosis and it took 3 years plus a surgical operation to get pregnant with number 1 (all before I’m even 30 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️)

not holiding out much hope but I thiiiink I may be ovulating due to symptoms… have just finished work. time to wake up the hubby? 🙈

congrats to all of you with BFPs :)

Also TTC baby no.2! In the TWW of cycle #1, been getting symptoms so have just ordered a couple of FRERs if no period by 1st Feb!

@NWnature i know exactly what you mean by it taking the excitement away. I had my chemicals before my son and it makes you not want to enjoy it or get your hopes up for it happening again - I feel the same way this time tbh. I was very anxious even weeks into my pregnancy because of this, but I did find that some early reassurance scans helped. I went to a local private company for this.
thank you so much!! I think I’ll be more excited in a few weeks when I can go for a scan, I’m only about 4 and a half weeks.
my little boy is 10 months old 😊

heres my latest test which is obviously very good! (That’s water from my hands on the stick not my pee😆) fingers crossed it progresses well

@Halpmer haha I feel like the attitude is just an upwards trajectory from birth to teen 😆 I agree I think any age gap will be lovely but there’s definitely something to be said for close ones. Have you gone back to work? That is partly why I took longer to try again because I was so wiped out with trying to reestablish myself at the office. Also the plan for three or four!!!! I am impressed! Do you and your partner come from big families?

@Torinunn2022 thank you so much, really kind of you and I’m sorry you have been through it too. I haven’t been able to talk to my friends about it because I know that many of them have been really struggling with fertility for much longer and the others are pregnant and I don’t want to stress them out. My husband was much more pragmatic about it but I do think it put a bit of a damp squib on trying this month which makes me a bit sad, just sort of takes the fun, excitement and innocence away from it all. Even though I knew it was a stroke of luck how easily everything went with my son, and I think in my gut I didn’t believe it would happen first time round again, I was just beginning to believe the lines and trawling mumsnet for late ovulation stories etc etc

Anyway - HUGE congrats on your BFPs! So exciting! How old is your little one?

I feel for your @NWnature a loss is still a loss no matter how early! I’ve had a few myself and they are awful because you get your hopes up as soon as you see that positive!
@Halpmer how many days DPO are you now??
ive had very good positives now and tbh I don’t really have any symptoms at all!

@Halpmer did I read your son just turned two? This age is WILD isn’t it! I am so knackered I can’t even really fathom pregnancy tiredness or another little one but I’m so so desperate for it to happen at the same time.

I really really hope it’s a BFP for you- I used those dipping sticks from Amazon which are great value and more eco! I do rate them as seem to pick up quite low levels of HCG :)

Hi all,
I am trying for second baby too. My son was 2 in October. We started last month and I had a chemical pregnancy which messed with my head more than I thought it would. I’m now in the waiting game as my next period is due 6 Feb - keeping everything crossed but not getting my hopes up.

Sending everyone good vibes . @Halpmer keeping everything crossed for you! Do you feel any different? I don’t remember having any symptoms early the first time round and didn’t test for the first time
til my period was a couple of days late and got strong instant positive. I am going to try really hard to wait til my period date/ day after to test this time as it was far less stress than comparing numerous tests on the chemical.

Oo I'll join! I have a 13 month old DS and have a consultation call tomorrow with nurse at gp surgery about getting my mirena coil removed (not sure why i can't just have a face to face appointment to get it removed straight away?!). Anyway... I'm 39 in June so keen to crack on, only thing is OH and I are getting married in July and part of me would rather not be pregnant at the wedding. But we had a MMC before we had DS and I've got in my head that this will probably happen again and feeling like time is against me so want to crack on. Just going to roll with it and see what happens! Baby dust all round x

👋 me! We have a 2 year old and been trying since September. I have PCOS and irregular cycles and now so worried we left it too long as we wanted two closer together in age 😩

Where’s everyone at in their cycle? I’m CD19 and still patiently waiting for ovulation.
