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 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!!

Thank you! I don’t want to get my hopes up. Just hoping third time is a charm! Really can’t go through the heart ache again.

wow, that’s gone so quickly! You will be having another scan soon ☺️ will you find out the gender? X

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

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

Worried as been here before! Third time this year!!!

Aw, tentative congratulations and hoping for a sticky baby for you ♥️♥️ I still keep checking to see how everyone is getting on and hoping for more positives for you all. I'm 18+4 now, it's amazing how quickly time goes. Sending lots of baby dust to those others still trying x

SkaterChick · 27/10/2024 12:28

@NattyPeer oh that's wonderful news! Congratulations!

@NattyPeer yeah all good here, still not feeling 100% real but it didn't really the first time until there was an actual baby in my arms!

How are you feeling? Have you showed your other half the test?

How far along are you now?!

I feel anxious! Yeah showed him but we both don’t want to get our hopes up! Did you have any symptoms before BFP? My boobs are tender 🤣

Ahhh @NattyPeer very very tentatively keeping everything crossed for you!

Been keeping an eye over here...

Sorry your cycles are playing up @SkaterChick it's so frustrating when you don't have certainty about what's going on ❤️

Thank you!!! How are you doing?!!!

Has anyone had their period without ovulating ? Super weird month for me.
I always get strong ovulation pain, its usually crippling , a few days before ovulation but this month at cd 35 started spotting for few hours, stopped disappeared few days then back spotting for few days and yesterday full flow. I wasn't even aware I'd ovulated. My surges aren't fast , they occur over a full day so I've never missed my lh surge before. My previous cycles since #1 were perfect

I've ever tracked my temp but I might do next month. All depends on if I remember too 😂

I've got some cramps this morning so maybe AF is finally on the way.

I will stop temping next month as I feel it adds to anxiety when you feel the temperature isn’t going the right way etc!!

Oh I’m so sorry 😔 I really hope you get the answer one way or another very soon!

My temperature is round down so AF is coming any minute! Xx

I took another test this evening after holding wee for 4 hours, also negative. Very disappointing and frustrating.
Guess I've just got to wait and see if my period does show up? I hate not being able to just move onto the next cycle and crack on.
Probably going back to tracking next month ....

Fingers crossed it may just be too early for you xx x

This is very frustrating! I was holding out hope for you!! I tested negative too so I am right with you for the next cycle!! Although I am unsure of when my period is due as one app says tomorrow and the next says next week so we shall see when I actually start!

Positive or faulty? 😬
Unsure cause of the pink dye left and DS distracted me so there's a chance a peed on the window 😂😂😂😂
Got a second test I'll take in the morning

Oh noo! Just sooo annoying and a rollercoaster! How many cycles are you TTC again? I just find it all very draining.

Show quote history

CD34 and still no period.
23 since we last dtd (between work trips and illness it just hasn't been our month 😂)
Based on that I would be a min of 18dpo?

At what point should I be worried my period hasn't shown up 😂

So I haven't been on contraception since ds was born in 22.
I had a coil fitted but it perforated my womb and wasn't doing it's job. I had surgery to remove it at started the year so we've been "trying" since march

Hey all

I've been reading on and off! Can't remember if I previously posted but...

I'm 35, been TTC number 2 since July 2023! I concieved my DS at 31 on cycle 1(😱).

I've had a range of blood tests, scans, hubby SA. Once I passed 12 months it's almost like a weight has lifted. I now just expect AF. I still get down and sad but praying it will happen when it's meant to be. My gorgeous boy had a tough few years medically but is all good now and if it means I have to hang on for another child that is hopefully healthy this time then I'll take it.

Basically my point is I do think after a while the stress/countdowns/overthinking does start to dwindle. I stopped tracking (actually through my cb sticks in bin).

Let's hope we all fall into the category that it just sometimes take time xxx

No period and test this morning was definitely a BFN.
Still no period.
I'm CD33 and it's approaching around 3 weeks since ovulation so I'll put money on me not being pregnant and just having some weird long cycle.

Oh noo! Just sooo annoying and a rollercoaster! How many cycles are you TTC again? I just find it all very draining.
