Anyone ttc baby no 2?

[theladyintheyellowhat]

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone is trying for baby number 2?

I've been 'sort of' trying for two months, but this month am really determined! I think i'm supposed to ovulate this wednesday, so BD'd today, yesterday... etc!!

I have a 15 month old DD....

Naughty me, did a CB digital 2 days before Af due...BFP!

OMG! Much, much, much quicker than expected! And I had 2 glasses of wine on saturday.

Good luck to you all I hope to see more positives soon.

Woooo hoooo congratulations HelloBear that's fantastic!!! So which cycle was that for you? Did you do anything different other than quaff wine?

Yeah! Congratulations Bear :)

Can I ask, have you been trying long and are you bf or anything? Sorry I am a newbie to this thread.

Thanks bewler and Cheshire. I have been increadibly lucky and this is my first cycle. But I stopped bf 8 months ago (my DD is 21 months) and have not gone back on contraception since she was born, been using condoms. So though we were not TTC I had started to note my periods and when I thought I was oving by using cervical m.

Oh and welcome Chesire:)

Many congrats, Bear!

I just tested again, feeling confident ... guess what - BFN.

This is messin wiv ma hed.

Noooo Huppo I was certain that you would be posting a BFP :(

FX that one does come soon.

Huppo - its not over till AF arrives though.....FX

Hey ladies its all gone quiet! Are you all busy POS working?

CD23 for me today. AF due any time in the next 4 days.

Really want to POAS but don't want to see that BFN!

Anyone else waiting for AF?

I am waiting to hear if Huppos result changed Bewler

I have about another 2 weeks before we can start trying again after dodgey smear, plus ebf so not much chance here :(

Hi all!!! Haven't been posting here for a bit because I was quite upset to find I didn't have a sticky bean last month, so we're having to try even harder at TTC!!!
Peak fertility for me at the mo according to OPKS & CM etc. then the 2WW again!!!!

Still trying here, still doing weekly Pregnancy tests.
I am now 7.5 weeks post ERPC and still no AF :(

We have a DD 20 months who was conceived through IVF so I am not sure of our chances. We did say that we would wait till her 2nd birthday before going IVF again. Our problem is we don't try that hard (giggle) but with a 20 month old, the last thing on my mind is sex! If only you could conceive and sleep at the same time! :o

I am a total dick and did a CB digital this morning even when wise old DH told me not too. Waited till he'd gone to work, PO the S and BFN!!! Arrrgghhhh! CD24 for me and AF due any time now (usual cycle length 23 days) so its close enough to AF that BFN highly unlikely to be wrong.
Felt compelled to rush out and buy ANOTHER CB digital to replace the one I PO so DH wont know that I'm a frivolous stick waster!!!
All those stories of people who seem to get BFNs and then a few days later magically get a BFP can't really be true are they (looking for a gleam of hope)!
Chunky really sorry to see you back......hope you get another BFP soon xx

not to not too*

Aww bewler, I used about 3 last month even though we had not even been "doing it" that much :(

I will still cross my fingers for you.

Hi all. Joining my 2nd thread in 2 days after being a long time lurker!

TTC baby number 2. I have a DS aged 22 months, been trying since Sept (chemical pregnancy in November). Cycles vary quite a bit so whilst I'm hoping this will be my month I may be here a while!

Hi ladies glad we are back chatting after quiet spell! I've been distracted with sick DC with chickenpox. Chunky sorry you didn't get a sticky bean lots of baby dust this time round. Bewler it's so hard to resist the test!! I'm CD 29 and no AF yet. I'm usually 30/31 days cycle but last month was 26. I have been falling asleep before 9pm quite a few nights maybe a sign ?! Tonight I caved in and did an Internet cheapy POAS. It clearly only has one line but I have been holding it up to the light like a forensic scientist crazy person and think there may be a very very tiny faint line (clearly wishful thinking as DH can't see anything!). It's crazy what your mind does to you!! Will do a proper CB test on Thurs.

Hi all, quick update. As per usual I caved in before my planned test date and did the CB test tonight since last night's Internet cheapy test was so inconclusive.

BFP!! 1-2 weeks it says. Cycle 5 of SWI which was exactly the same time as DC1.

V pleased though we have a 2 week holiday booked and paid for to Lanzarote in sept when I would be 31-33 weeks pregnant! Have checked and apparently you can fly up to 36 weeks with ryanair provided there is a fit to fly letter. Eeek! My boss is gonna go nuts too as the only other person that does my job is also pregnant but so what I'm pleased as punch. Hope it sticks.

Thanks to you all for support and chat! More BFPs I hope for more of you!

Wow Congrats Debussy fingers tossed for a sticky bean.

^Crossed not tossed clearly...

hellobear and debussyhead congratulations!! You must be thrilled :)

bewler really hope you get a BFP. It's impossible not to test though when you have the tests in the cupboard. Another frivolous stick waster here too! My friend tested on the day she was due and had BFN but was still pregnant, fingers crossed.

cheshireDing frustrating news with the dodgy smear, but better to know everything hunky dory for peace of mind eh. Good luck.

chunky I know I'm on the other thread with you but sending you positive vibes again!

havetowearheels It must be driving you crazy, I really feel for you.

lizzie I hear you and know exactly what you mean!

Think I will be ovulating next week ish, please let this be my month!!

Debussy Wow fantastic news, so pleased for you.

I have been using Internet cheapies to as I am using so may. I occassionaly treat myself to a CB Digital (how sad is that). After reading Mumsnet they are definately the most reliable tests aren't they ? DH is dubious but I think he is thinking about the bank account lol

Hi ladies,

Can I join in the fun and games. Just came on for a lurk and this looks like a lucky thread, lots of BFP's. Congrats to everyone.

I had bfp in oct but mmc in Dec, which was very sad, but onwards and upwards. As I dont ov very frequently im on my 1st months dose of Clomid. Using ov sticks aswell , but v confused (it doesnt take much). my ov sticks indicated i may have ov'd on day 8 (seems a bit early) but basal temp didnt go up. Im on day 11 now so hoping it was a false positive as id been away for the weekend dp got carried away and got a little over excited too bloody early and it didnt manage to errr quite hit the spot. GGrrrrrrr!! I was too tired hungover to wait til he was ready and our DD was in our bed at 6am. So no chance of dancing with the funkcy chicken in the morn!

HTWH - Ive found the internet cheapies on Amazon just as good. I get the ov sticks and the preg tests in a big batch. Then if you are prone to a bit of hysterical P-ing OS sessions then you have no guilt as cheap as chips. Very handy if you're HAVING to go out for drinks but not sure if the BFP may be lurking!!

RIBS sorry to hear about the MMC but your attitude is amazing and your post really made me smile...

hellobear and debussy huge congrats...

I need your advice ladies. I'm on the dreaded 2ww and for the last couple of days I've felt quite a lot of pain in my nether regions. It's hard to say exactly where it's coming from, as it seems to move around a bit, but it's like a dull ache in my tummy which occasionally turns into a sharp pain further down, and this afternoon I felt like I needed to fart the whole time...sorry if TMI...even though I didn't. My stomach is really bloated and I'm not hungry at all, which is weird for me. All v ood and obv might have nowt to do with the whole TTC scenario, but I'm a bit worried about the possibilities of an ectopic. Does anyone know how soon after DTD you would get symptoms of an ectopic? I'm assuming I'd probably have bleeding as well at some point?

I've been quite stressed lately, so it could just be that, but I have to admit to feeling a bit concerned, will definitely go to the docs if it doesn't go away.

Congratulations Debussy!!! Chuffed to bits for you

Welcome RIBS and Lizzie Have some or maybe a

Well, turns out I can still hang my head in shame as a digital stick waster as Af arrived last night. Seems my cycles are getting longer 21 days, then 23 days and now 25 days so that's all positive for my LP I hope.

I was moping around like a menstral loser last night and DH very calmly and sensibly reminded me that there is no rush and that this time being at home with DD is so precious. I will never be able to give her (or any other DC) the same attention I do now and life is pretty sweet looking after one DC who eats and naps well and is lots of fun to be with. So as much as I want to be pregnant again I must not wish the time away by living for the 2WW. I felt quite as I'm not even super broody yet, I just want to know it will happen (which it will) but as usual I have let myself get into a bit of an anxious state because this is cycle 4 and no BFP. So I'm trying to have a bit of an attitude change and hope that we get pregnant before DD is 2 in August so that would give us a nice age gap but to really appreciate how good life is at the moment not being pregnant and being able to spend time with my DD not feeling sick, tired, grumpy etc.

Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anyone else is feeling a bit anxious/sad about not having a BFP yet. It will definitely come and when there are 2DC life will never be the same again and it will be amazing but also so much harder than it is now so enjoy!
