Currently TTC number 2 and struggling after getting pregnant fairly easily with number 1 (on cycle 3)!
Thought I'd start a thread so we can all support each other. Anyone else on their TTC journey for number 2? I am currently on cycle 7 and have ruled myself out already as negative pregnancy test at 10DPO. Each month I convince myself that I am pregnant! Experienced a chemical at cycle 3 😩

@NattyPeer I'm so glad they're looking into it for you. I hope you get some answers and get a successful pregnancy 💜

Opk was much the same today, but still not a positive which is good cause hubby isn't around today.

Lots of people around me are talking about trying to get pregnant and so far I'm not telling anyone cause I don't think I can deal with the people wojderi if it's happened yet.

Hey everyone how are you all doing?
@NattyPeer I think if Tou have it on your records you've had X MC then you can get fertility checks on NHS?

My period finally showed up last week.
I was on for 3 days and no where near as heavy as I was anticipating.
Had ewcm yesterday so that reminded me to start opks. Got am almost positive line last night (I'd only held the wee for an hour too... Are you meant to hold for a couple hours for these? I forget)
Anyway. We dtd and I'll do further opks nest few days.
Hubby is out tonight so hopefully peak won't be today and we can dtd some at the weekend!

So I am actually having some blood tests through the NHS so we shall see what they bring! I was going to go private but because I have managed to get these bloods done, I will wait to see what brings before private! Hopefully something will come of those which can be easily rectified!

Are you doing ok?!

I have no idea whether you hold it or not haha!

hi all! Hopping (back) on this thread after an unsuccessful try last month.
i struggle reading easyathome OPKs and specifically their reading of the tests. Based on this progression, we had sex on CD36 , yesterday (reading says « peak »? But not 1:1 ratio). I tested this morning again and a super fat positive OPK. Did we time it ok or should we aim to have sex again today or tomorrow? With our other little one who isn’t sleeping we’re fairly tired, could just the one time he enough ?
for reference the close up is from yesterday, a few hours before we DTD

Heyyy did you end up DTD again? How are you getting on?

That's terrible. I thought they were meant to investigate after 2/3.
Can you speak to your local epu at all?

I just don’t see the point as last time I went they did ultrasound said pregnancy of unknown location and that was that. Only reason they saw me last time was because I had a bit of pain but I don’t have any pain at the moment.

@Keewro best of luck.
I'm 38 also and currently ttc number 2.
To be honest I'm not sure I'm mentally ready for number 2 yet as DS is only 4 months but im so conscious of that ticking clock that i dont feel i can wait. As he's an ivf baby I'm not really expecting to fall pregnant quickly/if at all which is why we figured screw it no harm trying. I think we'll give it 6 months and after which try and pursue ivf again.
We only ever managed to fall pregnant the once 2 years ago ( mc) but we both have fertility issues

thanks @VioIetMoon .

i wish you all the best in trying naturally.

i dont think anyone is ever ready really, but i get it, its a tricky one x

I tried yesterday but they just don’t listen or understand unfortunately! We are going to go private to see why this keeps happening as it cannot be normal!!!

Oh lovely I'm so sorry to hear this.
Can you see the Dr and see if they have any insight or anything?

Hey ladies ,

Hoping I can join in, i have spent the last hour or so reading everyone's posts.

I am 38 yrs old, TTC #4!

3 children from a previous relationship.17/15/13 yrs old.

I think I may be slightly mad with wanting to start again 😂

my last " period" i use " " as i was on the mini pill, so not technically a period, that was 23/9/24, i then stopped taking the pill towards the end of this period, and i carried on bleeding until the 7/10/24, so im guessing the prelonged bleeding was due to withdrawl bleed? i then on the 19th had a random bleed for around 4 hours, im guessing the prelong and random cleeds where due to coming off the pill.

im not too sure how long it will take for my body to go back to normal after the pill, but according to my FLO app, i will ovulate on the 1/11/24, so if this is correct my fertile days start today, CM isnt hinting at being fertile but we will see.

I luckily caught quickly with my other pregnancies ( 2 MC'S between middle and youngest ) , however, i am worrying this time around as i know my biological clock is ticking and may not happen at all for me this time around.

i have noticed a few other ladies on this thread are also in their mid/late 30's so its been nice reading that im not alone!

so cycle day 10 today ( according to flo), fertile day 1....... lets see what this brings!!

im wishing everyone else the best of luck and major baby dust to the entire thread!

CYCLE 1- LETS GO! ✌

MyGardenDaisies · 28/10/2024 12:32

Hi!

I am in my high fertility window, waiting for ovulation.

anyone else a few days away from the two week wait? X

Blue2020 · 28/10/2024 12:22

@NattyPeer I hope this time goes well for you.

Im now 15 weeks and in the stage where I don’t feel pregnant after coming out of the first trimester (I am still very tired after 4pm though).

LemonBitter · 27/10/2024 20:57

@NattyPeer going to keep it a surprise I think 😃 although I'm so curious!!

CoolBananas21 · 27/10/2024 20:45

I'm on day 3 so right at the beginning! Using the natural cycles app to track ovulation etc so I'm really hoping before Xmas I'll get some good news but we will shall see! What about you? Xx

NattyPeer · 27/10/2024 20:44

CoolBananas21 · 27/10/2024 17:55

Hi all - I'm now on cycle 2 in TTC for baby number 2. I thought I would be more chilled this time round but if anything I feel more pressure I don't know why. I got pregnant in 2 cycles with baby number 1. Xx

Heyyyy! Where are you in your cycle? ☺️

Yes I completely understand that. I still can't quite believe it and keep thinking something is going to go wrong so the worry hasn't faded for me. We had a private scan a week or so ago and it's another boy 🥰 I was happy with either, just hoping for a healthy full term baby

Amazing news! I would be the same happy with either just wish for a healthy full term baby! Xx

@NattyPeer 19 weeks now so nearly half way. Haven't felt much yet so still feeling pretty anxious.

No I literally had nothing and the BFP took ages to come but then got all the symptoms from about 6 weeks.

Really hoping it's third time sticky for you guys!

@hopefullyTTC2x sounds like we are very close in timings.. really hoping there's more of that from this thread, it kept me sane at points!!

Oh wow that’s amazing! Time is going quickly although probably doesn’t feel like it for you! Have you found out the gender yet? Xx
