Yeh last month I randomly started cramping over a week before AF was due so I thought this is it!!! Then I got a funny let down feeling in my breasts. But AF came right on time. This month I just don't feel any different and know she's on her way. Due Thursday but think AF may come early.

Hi all,

I'd love to join you! Just started TTC #2. DS is 2.5 which is a bit of a bigger gap than we intended for one reason or another, and I'm a bit worried about my age.

It was relatively straightforward last time round but I was able to to all the things - temping, ovulation testing, sex whenever we wanted/needed because it was 2020 so we were home just to two of us all the time. Not quite so straightforward with a toddler who doesn't reliably sleep through and having to go into the office!

I'm only on CD9 so likely testing on New Year's Day!

Hi of course you're welcome!
And aww well hopefully your ds will love having a baby brother or sister!
I know life's struggles can get in the way indeed and work can knock you down too
Good luck!
I'm not due to test till 8th I believe as I'm cycle day 1

This is my second month TTC trying for our first dc!

Just past my ovulation and have early tests so I can take one next weekend... fingers crossed

It's my 4th attempt once my af finishes. It's hard.
DC number 1
My dp has 3 kids and is obviously fertile and managed to get his ex pregnant fast
Me I'm 21 and it seems to be taking too long, it's getting me down
I dtd pretty much everyday

Woke up in the night cramping which is normal for me when AF is due. Definitely not feeling hopeful now 😕

Aww I had similar before :( hopefully it isn't af for you

I'll join!! I had my coil taken out this month so u likely to be a December success story so onwards for Jan!

We're ttc #2, number 1 is now almost 8 years old! We have not been ttc until now so big gap!

I'm at the mid point of this cycle but it took almost 2 years first time round so I'm realistic!

Joining as well, thanks for creating the thread, sorry to hear that starryx, fingers crossed for this month as well...

Hi there, hope you're well!
And it's OK I'm already preparing my body for the next ovulation cycle 🙂👍 it was hard when I saw it but part of me was already anticipating it

Hi. I'm new to this, but joined a similar group when I was pregnant in the past. This time I'm TTC. First time I have actively tried to conceive. I'm on cycle 2 and I'm 4 days away from AF. Tested this morning with a big fat negative. Still have my hopes up, but expecting I will be out this month.

Aww well let's see how it turns out for you.

I am more determined then ever to try and eat healthier
