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?

LBOT how you getting on?

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 09:55

Ive read different things home

Ive read all cycle, stop when your menstruating, and stop on 2ww.

I bought some and didnt take it, as I was too nervous about it.

cheese how are you feeling today? When are you going to take another test?

somethingwittynot · 28/05/2012 10:59

well ive finally kiked my SIL out of my life. soo happy

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 28/05/2012 12:02

something i need to kick my two SILs out of my life. And my MIL. And FIL. But that is a story for another thread....

Feeling ok Pickle. Well, bit freaked out to be honest. Planning on doing another test tonight....

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 12:08

Let us know!

DP came home and I said right you said this I said that blah blah sorry SWI.

So we have done it.

I couldnt hold a grudge with him as he had been visiting his sick dad and came home very upset. So I felt very sorry for him.

Another high egg alert this morning so more SWI tonight.

I had no warning at all, so we are going to have to SWI for the next few nights and hope for the best.

Strange goings on.

It was your first cycle wasnt it? That happened to me last time. I was freaked the fuck right freaking out. I wanted a baby of course but it was so quick! Took me by surprise.

Third cycle this time though.

You must check in. If you need another opinion pop another piccy on!

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 28/05/2012 12:18

Will do Pickle. It will be better than Eastenders!

Yes freaked out with the fact its first cycle. Last time I had two ovaries, no child and it took 6 months of hardcore CBFM use. This time, guessed when ovulating, one ovary, sill bf-ing ds at night and a lot more stress in my life and Bam! Very happy though and hope the rest of the thread follow suit!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 13:43

There is no logic at all when TTC is there?

Im on 3rd cycle now, with this weird egg. I had HUGE cramps yesterday when I was probably laying it, so I hope it a good un!

I was saying to DP im a bit concerned its 5 eggs or something, honestly it really hurt!

Never happened to me before. But I am normally not obsessed with my ovaries like I am now.

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 28/05/2012 15:09

Something I did use both times was pre-seed, don't know if it's worth looking uni or any of you guys? Cheapest from
Amazon usually

EddieIzzardIsMine · 28/05/2012 15:36

Cheese congrats! Our first graduate! Interesting you say about being stressed, am sure I read an article which said mothers who have stress at the time of conception are more likely to have girls, only 9 months to see if thats true! So whats your edd, have you worked it out?

Hows everyone else doing? Whos the next for AF/Poas?

EddieIzzardIsMine · 28/05/2012 15:38

Here you go - stress/girl link

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 16:04

Thats interesting. Im very stressed right now as well.

After a freak early ovulation im SWI for a couple more days then in the 2 WW

Where are you Eddie

EddieIzzardIsMine · 28/05/2012 16:09

Thats strange pickle, I also had a freakily early ovulation this month...

Its thrown me a bit too so I think i'm due AF between the 2nd and 6th, I'll try and hold out until the weekend after to test (9th and 10th) but cant make promises!

I thought it was interesting, I wasnt that stressed for dc1 and had a ds so worked for me!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 16:59

Oh let us know. There are so many people getting up the duff on this thread I will be on my own soon!

somethingwittynot · 28/05/2012 17:17

im on cycle three now. my CBFM arrived today kinda want AF to show so i can use it Grin DS just happened so quickly and DC2 seems to be taking forever.

Bazzle · 28/05/2012 20:11

Hi Ladies is it too late to join?
Conceived DS1 on first attempt so kinda hoped that would happen again but my cycles have gone completely nuts ranging from 19 days to 38 this year. We are on the third cycle now - Day 23 but by the OPK's i think i'm currently ovulating?! I hope so anyway as getting a bit worried that maybe i have developed PCOS or something.
Congrats on the BFP's so far :)

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 20:20

Hi bazzle I'm the same! 37 days last month and think I just ovulated now on cd 15 which should give me a 29 day cycle!

We will be on the 2ww at the same time then as I got a positive yesterday & today.

This thread seems very lucky, seem to get a good number of bfps each month.

Bazzle · 28/05/2012 20:27

Hi Pickle - Thanks, glad to be on a lucky thread :)
Best of luck to you too this month - hope we both get good news soon. Am not very patient and these long cycles make it even more frustrating!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 20:44

I know tell me about it, takes forever. I got lucky on the first cycle last time too. Im hoping this will be a lucky month, I had really bad Ov cramps like I was laying a dinosaur egg or something.

TribbleWithoutACause · 28/05/2012 22:02

Hello,

Can I join in? Implant came out today, so we're officially TTC no.2. Grin

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 22:39

Hi Tribble

Good stuff! We need some new recruits on here people keep going and getting pregnant!

When do you start in earnest?

somethingwittynot · 28/05/2012 23:12

well CD14 and still negative OPK the strongest line so far was CD11 but even thats negative. gos knows.

anyways after alot of clicking and cracking back feels better!

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 28/05/2012 23:47

DH finally got home... We tested, and it's a BFP!

Am still in shock to be honest. Was planning a holiday in the sun next January Grin

Here's to the next BFP!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 23:49

Well done cheese! Really pleased for you.

Brilliant news. Keep us posted!

I only managed to swi once! Is this enough! Probably not. Dp really down as his dad is ill.

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 28/05/2012 23:56

pickle we only did it twice this month, a week apart Blush

Is it worth using your charm to seduce cheer up DP?! If I offer DH a quickie, he never refuses

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 28/05/2012 23:58

And forgot to say thanks pickle, you have been very encouraging in the last day or so. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
