Whose trying to conceive baby no2 this year?

I've just taken the test and I'm pregnant

I'm filled with anxiety, I had HG last time and I'm scared. Need to call the doctors tomorrow but I'm frightened they won't give me the medication.

Just in shock and want to cry, ridiculous as this was all planned and I know I'm being insane. I thought it would be negative.

I really want another baby, I wish we could just skip the pregnancy and birth part!

@Mummysparrow yeh been on Cabergoline 10 years, other than a 6 month break that went badly, and then it was decided I'd stay on it forever. My prolactin was still high a year after birth/9 months after stopping breastfeeding so I just went back on it. Haven't been rescanned since I was 2 years in, but the 2 times I stopped my main symptoms - weight gain and night sweats - came back as well as the high prolactin so just assuming it's still there.

@WolfMother326 and @Twdfn123 congratulations both of you!! Wonderful news 💕

I am now either 1dpo and just mostly feeling relieved that there is no pressure to DTD this evening! 🙈
Managed every day since Friday + except Saturday. So hoping we've thrown enough at it 🤞🏻🤞🏻
We go away on holiday at the weekend so at least will keep me distracted for the TWW!

@Bells3032 I've had 2x 24 days cycles and a 25 day since February but then last month it went back to normal. So not sure what happened there 🤷🏼‍♀️ hoping this one is the right length too! Xx

Congratulations @WolfMother326 hope you have a great pregnancy

@Throwawy
Mine was 10 or 11 days and went up to about 12 or 13 when I conceived. I'm a pretty big fan of vitex!

Out of interest how long was your literal phase before?

My app (Femometer) keeps telling me my luteal phase is too short - its 11 days, but I've conceived twice with it being that length.
Also very interested about the Vitex, as it's used as an alternative medicine to stuff that I'm on for a prolactinoma.

I meant to reply to this thread last month after I'd asked everyone about why they wanted a second. I loved your the responses @Bells3032 @Mummysparrow @swirly3468 @Bubblesandtroubles - really similar stories to mine. Then I got AF and felt really low as I'd had a good feeling last month so took a break from mumsnet.

This cycle we were pretty good about dtd and I actually detected ovulation for the first time in months. This morning (11 dpo) I felt exhausted and had a headache so decided to test early even though felt like I was wasting an expensive test (didn't have any cheapies left). Was so shocked and delighted to see this... I'm really early, still have 4 days til AF normally due. Fingers crossed it sticks!

@Bells3032 I had this problem before my first. I took a supplement called vitex /agnus castus that seemed to lengthen my luteal phase by a few days over about 3 months, then I got pregnant- May not have been related but it seemed to help. Good luck x

Welcome @KM8 and @jules5232

I have such an urge to test. One app says I am 4dpo and the other says 6dpo. I have no idea which is more likely so maybe I should go in the middle. I would still have to wait roughly 4/5 days to get a decent line on any test but I feel I need to test

Can I join? Little late but I'm ttc #2 with an almost 2 year old. We've been trying since January, but our first took 13 months to conceive. Each month feels like forever!

Hi 👋🏻 Can I join?
DD is 2yrs, we are TTC#2
Stopped pill in June had withdrawal bleed July 5th. Currently on day 35....no sign of AF.
Taken a test, but negative 😫

@Mummysparrow I did blood tests in a fertility clinic.

Thank you so much, can't quite believe it! Got another test for tomorrow morning just to really believe it iykwim.

For what it's worth, my cycles range from 30-35 days they're always a different length every time. Im sure you will be fine 🙂 hope I've read that correctly and im not just talking rubbish xx

@Twdfn123 congratulations. Looks like a strong positive to me!!

I'm having a bit of a freak out. Just realised my last two cycles were 24 days long. I thought they were 24 and 27. I ovulate quite late in my cycle sometine between day 16-18 so that's made me anxious. Pre DD I had cycles every 27 days. Now I've never had three cycles in a row the same length. They're anywhere between 24-29 days. Driving me a bit mad and now very worried about how short my lutal phase is

@Mummysparrow I checked thyroid and progesterone this month (private). Still waiting for the results. Hope that will give me a clue what's going on.

@Twdfn123 congratulations! That is definitely positive

@Mummysparrow I have to take iron tablets everyday too. I think the midwife may have asked me to take a specific type in my last pregnancy but can't remember which one so once I get a bfp I will make sure I ask

Hi all, thought I'd join this thread and say hello 👋 my partner and I have a beautiful 21 month old and decided this month to start trying for our 2nd. My period is now 1 day late and I've had brown spotting so took a test, wasn't expecting anything at all as I'm not in the best shape of life but i think this may be positive?! I can't quite believe it and feel like my eyes are deceiving me..it took us almost 2 years for our firstborn. 😱second guessing myself that this is positive now...

I haven't updated in awhile. Still ttc no.2 but I think I've lost track of the no. Of cycle. Didn't opk this month so no idea what day I'm on. Maybe 8dpo.
@SillyFillyDress Hiya - can definitely empathise we've been trying awhile too and I've started feeling the pressure of an age gap. I don't like having no control over it!

Hey 👋!
May I join? TTC baby #2 for a little bit less than a year now. The first pregnancy was unplanned and very easy for me. 4 years later I'm struggling to conceive with the same partner. I had quite a journey. After my periods restarted I almost always have spotting a few days before the next period (occasionally it starts right after ovulation). I was diagnosed with pcos (although my cycles are regular and I'm rather underweight), had hysteroscopy and had one chemical pregnancy. I'm 34 so have some time but I'm not sure if I'm ready for 6+ years age gap. Today I'm 9-11 dpo, no spotting so far (fabulous!) but negative test. Before this year I want not sure if I want a second kid. Now sometimes I think I want 3))) You always want what you can't get)))

I had hg last time too :( are you nervous about it?

Have you been to the gp already?

@Mummysparrow ah, AF is so contrary sometimes, just when you need it to be predictable. I can empathise with that this month! Sorry to hear of your ups and downs, too. I’m always going back and forth as well, mainly how I’d handle worst case scenarios, though even with the best situation I worry I won’t cope too. It’s hard, but yes, like you living with regret is something I don’t want to do either! A Cyprus wedding sounds lovely. Great reason to wait!

@Bells3032 If I’m lucky enough to conceive this month it’ll be a mid-May due date, I think. My DD was born end of June by ELCS at 39+4 so it would be perfect tbh.
