TTC #2

Bookmarking as we're going to start TTC #2 after my current cycle (CD24 today but I usually have V long cycles and convinced I haven't ovulated yet this month)

@Eatsleepbakerepeat I’m 15dpo today, AF due today but no sign just yet. I’m not hopeful as I tested 9dpo & 13dpo and both were negative! I’m worrying that my cycles are getting longer as I’ve always been 28 days until last month. Last month was 29 days and today I’m on day 30.
Good luck for this cycle, hope the tww passes quickly for you 🤞

Congrats to all those with their BFP’s ☺️

@2BabyOrNot2Baby Keeping fingers crossed those positives keep coming! 🤞🎉 It’s SO hard being in limbo and wanting to protect yourself from getting your hopes up too high.

@Eatsleepbakerepeat I’m in a very similar position! 3dpo and going to try and wait and see if my period is late before testing. Easier said than done of course! I was thinking about why I want to test early every month and realised I don’t actually gain anything from it so trying to wait and distract myself as much as possible this cycle. Totally agree about testing later to avoid the painful ups and downs of a CP too. I’m nervous about how I’d cope with another early loss. Sending you lots of positivity and solidarity! 💪

Thank you, kinda just hoping AF will hurry up and show so I can start back over, but at the same time obviously hoping it stays away! It's so hard being in limbo! My cycles are really messed up again, so currently 11dpo, but CD37 😮‍💨 one of my apps predicted yesterday for AF, the other suggests tomorrow. We'll see 🙃

I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how heartbreaking that must be. Sending you lots of love 💖 That's a great idea but you're right, it is hard to resist - you can do it though! Sending lots and lots of baby dust your way ✨

I'm still waiting for AF but convinced I'm out for this month.
Been seeing really really faint lines the past few days but pretty sure they're just indents/evaps. On one hand I'm unsure as it's been 4 tests over the course of 3 days that I've seen them (2 different brands also) but on the other hand they've not been getting any darker at all.
How are you? Are you still waiting?

Congratulations to those with BFPs 💖
Sending baby dust to those still waiting and the ones going into their next cycle ✨

@deliwoman1 @TTTC24 congrats to you both! I sometimes think when you relax, that's what makes it happen! I know with #1 the months we conceived was the one where we had a big night out and both got absolutely hammered. And hubby used a hot tub (I was mad about that thinking we were now out for the next few months!)

Thank you! And congrats to you @deliwoman1 !!

yeah you never know, I’ve been so pessimistic recently about it all but it only takes one time doesn’t it and as long as it’s round your fertile window, there’s a chance!! 🤞

keeping my fingers crossed and sending baby dust to all ✨

@TTTC24 and @deliwoman1 so lovely to see those tests! Congratulations and positive thoughts to you both 🙌

It looks like I’ve ovulated a few days early this month and don’t feel like we’ve optimised our chances so feeling a bit down. I’d set a stupid goal of being pregnant before my son’s bday in May but after my MMC in Feb that’s looking highly unlikely! Hopefully getting this ‘deadline’ out of my head will take off the pressure a bit going forward.

@TTTC24 that’s a definite positive. Congratulations and good luck! 🤩

I’d given up too. Was still tracking ovulation, but I was slacking on my vitamins and basically very pessimistic. Got a faint positive at 10dpo and tests are getting darker, though maybe not as dark as I’d like. It’s hard after loss and a struggle to conceive.

I just took a test at 12dpo not feeling very hopeful as I had given up trying a bit - not taking my vitamins, had a couple of nights out and wasn’t tracking ovulation. It’s not like me to test early because I can’t handle the stark whites (only tested now because I’m working away Mon/tue and AF is due Monday).
Anyway, I got this….what do we think?😬
im thinking of going to get a proper test today and a digital for tomorrow too to see what they say….

Hi! Please can I join? Been TTC #2 since July last year, got a BFP 3 months later in October but miscarried at just over 8 weeks in November. I’m currently 12dpo in my 5th cycle of trying since our loss last Nov.

sending lots of luck and baby dust to you all ♥️ it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in our struggle to conceive a much wanted second baby.

Currently just waiting for AF to finish before starting this cycle. This one seems to have really got to me for some reason, my mood has been a lot worse than normal 🙈 how is everyone else doing?

Another one who'd like to join 🙋🏻‍♀️
Conceived #1 after 11 months trying and currently cycle #5 and 9dpo.
Had a few different symptoms up to now - nauseous, really sore boobs, extremely vivid dreams, etc. But also really mild cramps, headaches and so hungry which has made me feel like it could be AF.. Wishing everyone luck 🤞🏻

Please can I join? I'm on cycle 11 which started today 😭. DD took 6 cycles to conceive and she just turned 2. I had an ectopic last year which was first cycle/accident and nothing since.

Having a Hycosy this month to check my remaining tube. I also started CoQ10 and omega 3 last cycle which did extend my LP to 12 days.

Please can I join? We conceived my little girl so quickly (she will be 3 in June) and have now been trying for our second since December. I took my little girl for her first full day at nursery yesterday and my period turned up...4 days early! I honestly hate the whole process, I find it so frustrating and stressful.

We have been trying for #2 for 14 cycles. Decided to have this cycle off as my mental health was suffering and I definitely feel less stressed about it now. AF due tomorrow/thursday then we will get back to trying again.

I'm so grateful to have DD who is 5 but I always pictured my life with 2 children. We moved to a bigger house two years ago, bigger than we need as a family of 3, hoping we would soon welcome our 4th family member but it hasn't happened yet. Have had tests and apart from my high BMI, all is well. Nice to know others find this position to be weird too!

Would love to join you guys!
Concieved ttc #1 on the third cycle (which felt like forever at the time but afterwards I realised how lucky I was!)
Now on cycle 6 of trying again and I keep switching from being really positive and hopeful to feeling really down and pessimistic. I normally ovulate cd15 but it's cd17 today and I've still not had a positive opk. We have dtd 5 days in a row as was expecting to ovulate yesterday but still waiting.. don't know how long I can keep going 😂😴
It's all such a mind game isn't it!!

@Optimistic66 you summed it up perfectly. A 'weird place' is exactly it, and like you say, just as lonely and sad.

I had a bit of a slog to conceive no1. It didn't take long technically - DD stuck on the 5th cycle we tried, but I had three losses before that so it was about a year all told. So I was prepared for no.2 to be a battle, especially because I'm 41 now, but still!

Trying since last July, with one bfp so far that turned out to be anembryonic. Caught it early though and had surgery in late December. I think we're on cycle 8 now. I'm 7 or 8dpo now and just know it's not my month again.

Hi, can i join? TTC number 2 is a weird place - because infertility sucks but people who havent had #1 look at you like 'well atleast you have one!' but it just as lonely and sad.

I have a 3 (& 4 month old) - we've been trying since he turned 18m without even a whiff of pregnancy. Bizareley have stopped ovulating - we are on our first cycle of letrozole and currently 8DPO - so desperately hoping this is my cycle.

I have no idea whats changes since having him and everywhere you go you see bumps, and people with multiple kids. I am the last one left out of my 'mummy friends'. How do you guys all feel?

Awww I know how you guys feel. I conceived my son first cycle. Stared trying for second when my son was 18 months. Nothing happened until month 6 and that was a chemical. Now 4 months after the chemical (cycle 10 ttc) I am 4 and a half weeks pregnant. I am very happy but also very nervous as I know it’s early and this ttc journey has given me more anxiety than with my first. I won’t celebrate fully until I have my first scan.
We had fertility tests a couple of months ago and my husband’s morphology was low. So I got him eating healthier and taking supplements. We both started taking Naître supplements the past month. I’m convinced they helped.
