About to start TTC#2 - does anyone want to come along for the ride?

Hi there,

So, DD is going to be 3 in June and I'm going to be 38 two weeks later. About a year ago I wanted a 2nd DC but DH didn't. I then changed my mind at Xmas.

DH has now changed his mind and persuaded me so finally we're in agreement and ready to go.

CD1 is due this week and then we can start.

Is anyone else ready to TTC#2?

so here is my previous cycle length, newest to oldest -
26 days
23 days
26 days
31 days
24 days

so i def think i need to use the CBFM to find out when i'm ovulating.

what do you make of those cycle lengths though? Confused

PickledFanjoCat · 23/05/2012 11:40

Oh yes. Or you could just use ov sticks which are cheaper.

I got

40 days
35 days
33 days
33 days
35 days
37 days

Too long, annoying!

PickledFanjoCat · 23/05/2012 11:54

What's your luteal phase?

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 23/05/2012 12:16

Confused How do I work out my luteal phase? Am out of touch with all this TTC jargon......

I already have a CBFM and just bought some tests from eBay, so good to go.

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 23/05/2012 12:19

just googled LP.

According to my phone app which predicts when I am ovulating, in April it was 13 days, and 14 days in March. Is that good?!

PickledFanjoCat · 23/05/2012 13:29

That's perfect! 10-16 days I think is ideal. So I don't think your cycles are anything to worry about, I've not seen anything about the first part being too short?

somethingwittynot · 23/05/2012 18:41

i drank 2.5l of vodka when about 3 weeks pregnant with DS obviously i didnt know yet! hes come out fine Grin

im going to use ov sticks this month and then my CBFM next month, thats the plan for now.

Hi everyone,

Aday, your dream is lovely. We need some serious BFPs this cycle!

I'm on CD2 after a 39 day cycle and feeling very sorry for myself with awful cramps on top of sinusitis... Anyway, this is going to be our month!

I agree with Eddie - we should keep track of our stats, so I'll start...

Stats list:
kurlyvoice - CD2, cycle 3, cycle length 39 days

PickledFanjoCat · 23/05/2012 19:50

Stats list:
kurlyvoice - CD2, cycle 3, cycle length 39 days
PFC - CD9 Cycle 3, cycle length 37 days

Another long cycle person kurly!

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 23/05/2012 21:12

Can someone add me as can't cut and copy on phone

CAMT - cd22, cycle 1,cycle length 23 days

Is the last bit the length of our last cycle or average cycle length? I have put last cycle so let me know if needs to be amended.

PickledFanjoCat · 23/05/2012 21:19

Stats list:
kurlyvoice - CD2, cycle 3, cycle length 39 days
PFC - CD9 Cycle 3, cycle length 37 days
CAMT - cd22, cycle 1,cycle length 23 days

I like the stats list, very orderly. I put my last cycle as I havent a bloody clue what my next one will be.

lastboxoftampons · 23/05/2012 21:49

Kurlyvoice - CD2, cycle 3, cycle length 39 days
PFC - CD9, cycle 3, cycle length 37 days
CAMT - CD22, cycle 1, cycle length 23 days
LBOT - CD23, cycle 4, cycle length 26 days

Hi everyone
Feeling a bit sad today - have had a bit of spotting. Gone now, but I know from experience it's a slippery slope from here - 7 or 8 dpo

EddieIzzardIsMine · 23/05/2012 21:58

Possibly a very dense question...but whats 'CD'?

lastboxoftampons · 23/05/2012 22:01

Eddie -CD= cycle day :)

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 23/05/2012 22:43

Am definitely going to see AF soon, I just cannot stop eating, happens every time in the 3 or 4 days before I start. Oh well, would have been a real miracle if I had got pregnant in my first cycle of trying.

Also got that lower back throb that i get before AF.

Not that I had calculated my due date or anything Sad

somethingwittynot · 23/05/2012 22:43

cycle 1 was 28 days cycle 2 was 31 days currenty on cycle 3 CD 9

PickledFanjoCat · 23/05/2012 22:45

Ah bad news both.

I am liking our abbreviated names, we sound like rappers. I like L-Bot!

The P.F.C and C-AMT.

EddieIzzardIsMine · 24/05/2012 08:30

Ahhh, thanks lastbox

Right -

Kurlyvoice - CD2, cycle 3, cycle length 39 days
PFC - CD9, cycle 3, cycle length 37 days
CAMT - CD22, cycle 1, cycle length 23 days
LBOT - CD23, cycle 4, cycle length 26 days
Eddie - CD15, cycle 1, cycle length 28 days

Oh sorry cheese... if it helps I've obsessively checked too, if its a bfp this month, my due date will be Valentines day!

kurlyvoice · 24/05/2012 10:02

If I'd got pg last cycle then my due date would have been my birthday at the end of January... :( What are we all like?!

Question, ladies. I've been thinking about trying to temp this cycle as Fertility Friend gets a bit cross with me just doing CM and OPK, but as DS is up and down like a yoyo at the moment with his teeth, and sometimes gets up at 6am and sometimes at 7am, is that going to cause more confusion than it's worth?

somethingwittynot · 24/05/2012 11:05

my due date would od been 18/11/13 a week before DS birthday!

PickledFanjoCat · 24/05/2012 11:41

How old is your DS Witty?

Adayforthinking · 24/05/2012 13:34

Hello ladies,

Oooh lovely - I love a good stats list!! Smile

Kurlyvoice - CD2, cycle 3, cycle length 39 days
PFC - CD9, cycle 3, cycle length 37 days
CAMT - CD22, cycle 1, cycle length 23 days
LBOT - CD23, cycle 4, cycle length 26 days
Eddie - CD15, cycle 1, cycle length 28 days
Aday - CD8, cycle 2, cycle length pick a number multiply by 2, minus 3 and add 6 30ish

SWI will start tomorrow night I think. You may have heard on the news today about the 27,000 from HP, well, I may well be one of them... So feeling a bit low and not much like SWI today. Just hope it's not me otherwise the idea of DC#2 will be completely out of the window! Sad

Hope everyone else is Ok.

Sorry the witch turned up Kurly...

Lastbox, any chance it could be Implantation spotting?

Cheese, it's not over yet hun. Smile

Oh no Aday what a nightmare. Fx for you.

EddieIzzardIsMine · 24/05/2012 15:59

Aday I hope everything is ok for you

I seem to be getting ewcm again today? Loads on Sunday so swi (twice) and thought thats it, we were done for the month but getting some today too...

AF was on the 9th May so on a 28 day cycle ovualtion should have been Wednesday (yesterday) but I presumed on Sunday it was early but maybe its actually late/today and Sunday was something else...

Oh wish it was clearer, like you developed big blue spots or something!
