TTC #2

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 😩

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.

SkaterChick · 21/10/2024 11:57

Sooo still no period.i has no tests left today 😅 so I'll pick some up shortly

@SkaterChick same! It’s so frustrating when cycles are like that, even with lots of supplements to regulate it. Mines have a 7 day variation which is apparently still normal but still ugh

Incredibly fustrati.ng
I just got home and popped Mt mooncup out and it's empty 🤷🏼 just a miz of clear and milky discharge in there.

So another month with a longer than expected cycle.
I'm cd 30, no sign of my period and the clear and simple dip test I took first thing was negative.

It's weird I'll have a few 30+ day cycles and then I'll go back to 26 day cycles and then back to longer ones. Very frustrating!

I popped my mooncup on so I don't have to worry about weather or not AF will show herself today. I'm all dolled up. Wedding ceremony was beautiful, bride was stunning and I'm going to let me hair down and get shit faced this evening 😂😂😂

VioIetMoon · 19/10/2024 14:24

@MrsB902 yes I ovulate all different times of cycle too. Never on same cycle date

Well see... I has a quick scan through hubs Nd i's texts and I think it's been 16days since we last had sex. And I'm reckoning 13/14dpo based on when I propositioned him but he was sick and then I was sick so wasnt a good month for us 😂😂
The BFN this evening isn't giving me much hope!
I'll wait and test again Saturday before this wedding

I did a test this evening.
I think I hadn't been to the loo in 3 hours but honestly can't be sure 😂😂
I only had cheap clear and simple tests in, I didn't realise I was out of the sensitive internet cheapies.

I'm 99% sure it's a BFN.. but I keeo getting tired line eyes that think they see something 🙄

So my period is due tomorrow and yesterday/today I've had some clear sticky discharge, like ewcm but a bit thinner. I don't usually get this before a period
Due on tomorrow so debating testing in the morning

@loveyababesx I think I might just continue with this break until after Xmas as well
I want to relax and enjoy it.
Plus there's so much to do without worrying about checking the time to pee on another stick and panicking about squeezing all the sex in 😂

loveyababesx · 15/10/2024 11:53

@SkaterChick I totally get it. I'm defo having a break this month and I'm going to try enjoy my Xmas without thinking about it!

Hope you have a lovely time at the wedding 😊

Hi guys, 9DPO today and BFN have no symptoms at all so I feel like I'm out this month.

@SkaterChick I admire that you've only just realised your CD26! I count the days and hours in the 2WW.

I just haven't bothered with anything this month. It was effecting my mental health too much

This prompted me to check my cycle day and I'm cd26 today.
App says period due tomorrow but my last few cycles have been a bit longer.
No symptoms of pregnancy or period that I've noticed so I might test Saturday if no period, only because I have a wedding Saturday night and would like to know before I get plastered 😂

Does anyone else ovulate on a different day of your cycle each month? We are up to month 5 of trying for number 2 and I seem to be in a pattern of ovulating on cycle day 14 one month then cycle day 17 the following and repeat! I don’t suppose it matters but just curious if anyone else is the same and also if anyone knows why this may be! I always feel like I learn loads from this thread so interested to hear what others think ☺️ good luck to everyone for this month xx

Yup, different every month!

Hey everyone how are all doing?
Lovely to see there's been a positive since I was here last month.

Took some time off from the internet.
I even decided not to use my tracking app and opks this month. I just didn't want anything to do with it. So aside from what cycle day I am... I don't have a clue on anything else.

@NattyPeer Hi! I've had three miscarriages in total so that's why I believe, I went to my gp and she was happy to refer me. It's a 3 month wait at the moment I believe xx

I’m so sorry to hear this! I am glad you were referred. It’s all very hard isn’t it and no one understands unless they have been through it!

Yes, I seem to ovulate on different days for the past 4 cycles before then it was pretty much the same! I have no idea why 🤔 I hope more baby dust will be spread this month! I will be in the two week wait tomorrow so I am a bit behind everyone. Where is everyone in their cycle?

Yeah I was taking ovulation tests for a few cycles before we were TTC. I was normally getting a positive test around day 14, but then ovulated day 19 of the cycle we actually conceived!

@loveyababesx leaving the house - walk, coffee date, browsing the shops, etc. has been working really well for me, or reading fantasy books.
Alsonjust reminding myself that time will pass anyways so next week I will either be pregnant or will be a new opportunity…
