TTC #2

Hey Everyone, currently 1DPO here we go again...😓

Has anyone got any tips to keep your mind busy in the TWW? Don't want to drive myself mad again this month xx

@SkaterChick well I'm also in the I don't have a clue club

Don't think I've ovulated at all and currently cd34.

@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’ve just started the 2 week wait. I find this all so overwhelming, like I can’t think of anything else without TTC in the background

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.

@MyGardenDaisies thanks xxx

@Tor88 good luck to you ! ❤️ I’m sorry your journey has been a hard one.

Hellooo everyone, just hopping in having read the last few pages. About to start ttc #2. I'm 36 (and would be 37 at birth if I conceive quickly). It took a year and two brutal miscarriages to conceive DS (who's now 16 months), and I'm honestly terrified of going through it all again, but I'm equally terrified of waiting too long and it not happening?!? Not easy is it...

To make matters even more fun I've got a new job starting in December, I only just found out (it was an internal opportunity I felt I really 'should' go for), it's great but a huge, scary step up and the idea of doing it whilst pregnant is so hideous to me ( I was soooo sick in pregnancy), but again the consequences of putting off ttc are just not worth the risk. I love my son so so much but I can't wait for the whole ttc, pregnancy phase of life to be over!!

Xxxx

@RoseA89 the loneliness is hardest thing In this world. I felt extremely isolated ttc my first. He took 18 years, he's an ivf baby so not holding out much hope of a natural pregnancy this time, although we did have a natural pregnancy 2 years ago but ended in mc so im praying its possible again. Pregnancy seems to come so easily to everyone around me. Most seem to get pregnant without even trying or first or second month for all their babies so I don't have anyone in my life who can relate to trying to get pregnant for months ... and beyond. How are you coping? 9 months isn't too long in reality ( I know it feels like an eternity ) so try not to worry too much
Easier said than done I know

@Pandamonium04 congratulations!

We are currently on cycle 4 of TTC #2 and I’m 7dpo. My stomach muscles have felt a bit tender today as if I’ve done a million sit ups (I definitely haven’t) so I’m trying not to get my hopes up that this could be implantation cramping!

Wishing lots of luck and baby luck to everyone who is waiting to wee on a stick!

Hi ladies,

Joining the chat if that’s ok!

Currently in the TWW on cycle 7.
DD is 3 (2nd cycle) and I had a MC before DD (1st cycle).

Trying not to be really negative but beginning to worry that it’s just not going to happen. X

I hope you are ok. How is it all going?

I saw this post and then got distracted with something and meant to come back.

I am now 10+1. All my symptoms disappeared at 8+4 so I lasted until two days ago then had to book a scan to know if it was still progressing. It is good news so far, saw the heartbeat. Two weeks now until the dating scan.

Yeah it really is and hard not to overthink. I’m really trying not to test at all anymore and wait for my scan in 2 weeks. I’m between 5 and 5.5 weeks depending on whether I take day of last period or ovulation date.

Also 16dpo! Taken a few hours after my first test. Honestly find it all so weird and confusing… I guess the darkness of the line depends on so many things like how diluted your wee is (?) trying not to overthink things now. How many weeks are you x

Ahhh that looks amazing. How many DPO is this bottom test?

@MyGardenDaisies @MrsKurz thank you for the reassurance!

I just did another test and it’s much more reassuring 😮‍💨

to everyone trying and waiting, all the very very best. This was cycle 10 for us, cycle 1 post hycosy in case helpful. Also the first cycle my husband I have taken coq10

@Pandamonium04 sorry hit post too soon, here’s the next picture

That’s a fine line for 16dpo! I was so concerned mine were so faint, but here’s the progression til 19dpo. I also only got the 2-3 on clear blue this week (although it had been a week since I took it again so it could have come sooner)

@Pandamonium04 trust CB 2-3 weeks . Congratulations!

Honestly think that's way too faint a line for 16dpo, feeling rather unhopeful now.

Here we are:

do you have any pics of the tests? You don’t need to do an ovulation test

hi everyone I hope this is ok to ask. Really stressing myself out and husband won’t be home for a few hours. So I am 16dpo and have a very faint line on a cheap strip, 2-3 on clear blue, and zero line on ovulation test (I did this because with my first pregnancy I had a blazing positive on the ovulation test)

any thoughts 😩😩
