TTC baby #2 - Two week wait

Also just to add.. This is for baby #2.. I have a DD just turned 6 😊

Hey.. I wondered if I could dip a toe in the TTC/TWW world.. Just a bit of background, I had an anembryonic pregnancy which I miscarried naturally 2 weeks ago.. So naturally reading up on things I've realised there's a chance I could get pregnant during that time, so we started DTD a week ago, I was also told by the EPU that I could start trying whenever I felt able to again.. So currently not putting too much pressure on myself, as I haven't had a period yet & I would feel fine about not falling straight away & having a period as then I'd be able to track on dates etc! But hey ho! No harm in trying 🙈
If anyone's had any experience & has advice for me I'd appreciate it. Or even just Kind words, or a kick up the butt that would also be fine 🤣
Good luck to you all who are waiting for that test day, god its hard work to be patient! 🤞🫶 x

@katie416 haha glad I'm not the only one. I was same with DD, line came up before control line, so it's weird getting negatives but still possibly being pregnant... I think I may just be going mad. Tried telling myself I'm not on repeat today to see if the symptoms disappear 🙈😂 I'm currently bloated, nauseous in waves, incredibly tired and achey breasts- the latter 2 I usually get now but I've had them for well over a week... I mean we'll be pretty frickin lucky to get preggo before we've actually started trying properly!

In fairness a lot of people say they had no symptoms before bfp so could go either way for all of us at this point. Good luck to all x

Hey, hope I can hop on with you lovely ladies! We're on cycle 2 ttc baby number 2! First cycle ended in a chemical. I have 1 DS already who is 18 months and I'm a SAHM! I'm currently I'm guessing 5DPO! Going to try and hold out till I miss my period to test but I doubt that's going to be possible 🤦🏼‍♀️ @katie416 my first symptom with my son was sore boobs so fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Hey, hope you don't mind me jumping on here? I'm in the same boat as you guys etc. Number 2, not sure how many DPO exactly as we'd only started to discuss trying. I only realised we DtD over rough ovulation window after looking at calendar and backtracking my cycles 🙈 due AF on 18/19th I think...

I keep telling myself off for symptom spotting but I'm really feeling like I did with my DD, though I just thought I was ill/run down back then, as she was a surprise! Or it could be psychosomatic, who knows! Didn't test then until missed period, but I've already tested this time because I have no will power 😂 blatently too early anyway and not even with an early response, going to wait a few more days... well done to all of you for managing to wait!!!

also... excuse my not knowing, but what does FRER stand for?

@katie416 I'm actually feeling ok thank you! My partner has it worse than me he's the one who rang the GP for the antibiotics, so he got me some too but didn't mention us TTC. My very little research online suggests I should be ok 😅 however, and I'm actually not a superstitious person at all really, I just had a single magpie land in front of my window I was standing at so now I'm like ok I'm definitely out this month already 😂

@Lollipop96 haha I'm the exact same when I get negatives I don't believe it until AF arrives because I think I'm one of the ones that'll get a late BFP 😂 I hope that I can wait more than a couple days between testing if I get a BFN at 9dpo

@naggy095 Hello! I do have a digital early test which I could take next Wednesday but I think if it comes back negative I wouldn't believe it (I never do) and I will just stress myself out until the day of my period.

Its a loosing battle for me 😂What about you?

4dpo today and I have tonsillitis so having to take antibiotics now 🥲 hope it doesn't affect anything.
How's everyone feeling and when do you all intend to test? I'll probably test on 9dpo as I have no patience

I’m currently using my Fitbit app which I think has been quite good! You’re able to monitor your ovulation, period and cycles, you can also put in symptoms! So much easier than jotting it down on a piece of paper!
the more the days tick by the harder it is for me to try and not symptom spot.

fingers crossed for us all!

@katie416 we conceived her on cycle 4. How about your first? It’s been a bit of a surprise that it’s taken this long, but I’ve just started to kick it up a notch with supplements and OPKs 🤞🏻😅

Oh yes @katie416 that's the same app, I must have renamed it lol !

@Pandabumbles same as me, 36 when I had my son,now 39. He's almost 3.5 years old
💕

Can I jump on too? I'm on 2nd cycle of TTC #2. My two previous pregnancies (1st MMC, 2nd DS) i conceived on 2nd cycle so I think I'm hoping same happens again! It might not be quite so quick this time, I was 36 then and I'm 39 now...eek!

I've been tracking for a few months using the Clue app and OPKs just to figure out my cycles but actually had this month off from tracking and it was quite nice! My EWCM is pretty clear sign off O approach for me anyway, so I think I'm about 7dpo today. AF due middle of next week when we're on holiday... don't know whether to sneak a couple of tests in my suitcase or just wait it out! It'll blates be option 1! 😂

Baby dust to you all!

Snap! TTC #2 and period due on the 20th. My app (My calendar) says I ovulated on the 6th, making today 6 dpo

Two miscarriages last year and possible chemical early this year.

I started progesterone pesseries this morning and have to take 2x a day until 20th and if it's positive to take higher dosages. If it's negative, stop and try again next month.

Wishing everyone good luck 🙏🤞

What period / ovulation apps do others use? Mine is literally called "my calendar" and primarily used for period tracking but also does show fertility window and ovulation day. Not sure how accurate it is though but in terms of period it's usually only a day or two out if not exact each month

@katie416 yes baby dust to everyone! I’m trying to be as realistic as I can be but sometimes my mind just takes over me 😂
I’m due on my period next Thursday but because I ovulated two days later than normal it’s now saying on the app I’ll start on the Saturday!

My app tends to be spot on most of the time so we shall see!
Hope everyone’s staying sane ❤️

👋 Hi everyone! We’re on cycle 8 TTC baby2! 1DPO, after ovulating a week late, so feels like an extra looooong wait for me. Have also decided not to have any wine during this TWW 😩

Baby dust to everyone - let’s hope we get a whole big bunch of BFPs! Come on March babies! 😆🤞🏻✨

Think I’ll let myself cave, and will test on 22nd July 😅

Hi guys mind if I jump in on this post?

I'm currently in the TWW attempting for our first. Been trying now for around 4/5 months and every time I reach this stage my mind plays so many tricks on me!
I've started changing my diet, too scared to swim in the TWW or do normal things in case I 'change' what could happen! I've even invested in a conception cup!

Currently 5 days since ovulation was positive and now sending myself insane. It's crazy what information is out on the internet, my minds is going to explode. Last month we were really conceived I was pregnant, experiencing new symptoms which I've never had before, even went to the GP and they just said it was down to my menstrual cycle. My body continues to play tricks on me!
I'm trying not to symptom spot this time but it's so hard.

Each month I've used early response tests but when they come back negative I don't believe it until I've actually started my period (which is always on my expected date) so I find it a loosing battle 😂so hoping to wait this time until my period due date.

Any support to get through this TWW would be amazing!

I'm going to try not buy any so I can't be tempted to early/waste my money. I will go get some early next week... but we shall see.
