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?

Did you manage to swi bazzle I did. Afterwards dp said " at least it was quick" how we larfed!

Bazzle · 30/05/2012 08:03

Well done Pickle! No i didn't. Didn't even broach it with DH as he mentioned that it was getting a bit ahem 'sore'. He didn't get to bed till quite late anyhow and i just fell asleep.

Really hoping that it works this month. I reckon i O'd on Monday and SWI on Sat PM, Sun AM and Mon night so if i'm right i should be in with a good chance - fingers crossed! Not sure i can cope with another month of this much shagging if not Wink

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 08:20

I think I ov'd on Sunday or Monday but it totally took us by surprise so only Sunday & Tuesday night for us.

Hopefully the egg was still ok yesterday!

Here we go on the 2ww then, he can have a break!

Bazzle · 30/05/2012 08:46

I Think you are deffo in with a good chance is you SWI either day around OV. Keeping my fingers crossed for you too!

My consolation if it's negative this month is that we are off to france at the end of June so at least i can eat cheese and drink wine till my hearts content :)

EddieIzzardIsMine · 30/05/2012 08:52

Morning! Hows everyone?

Still twiddling my thumbs on the 2ww....

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 30/05/2012 09:51

Eddie - CD20(ish), cycle 1, cycle length 28 days, AF/POAS date 6th June.
Cheese - BFP(!) EDD 6th Feb 2013!!
Pickle - CD15 Cycle 3 - THIS cycle should be 29 days POAS date 12th June.
Jessi - CD5, cycle 1, cycle length 28 days, POAS date June 25
Aday - CD13, cycle 2, cycle length is anybody's guess around 30 days
Something- CD15 cycle 3, cycle day length 28-31 days AF/POAS date 15th june
Bazzle - CD24 cycle 3, cycle length 19-38 (?!). This one should be 38 so POAS 11th June

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 30/05/2012 09:52

good luck to those on the 2ww. Remember my logic about NOT testing means you are pregnant - it works! Wink

EddieIzzardIsMine · 30/05/2012 09:57

I am a week (ish - depending on messed up dates) from AF and have 2 tests in - convince me its too early to/no point in testing before I crack!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 10:00

Way too early Eddie! You must only be about 7dpo? Try and hold out for a couple of days!

I've got Internet cheapies mind about 10 of the buggers. So I'll be worse than you!

Bazzle · 30/05/2012 10:09

Good luck Eddie - not long to wait but try and refrain for a few days yet! Crossing my fingers for you too.

Out of interest i an still peeing on OPK's and got another strong positive today (day 5). Googling threads there are a lot of people who have had the same and turned out to get pregnant that cycle so hoping that is the case here. Guess we will see if that theory turns out to be correct soon!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 10:12

Baz you have to keep swi if you get positives! Sad

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 10:12

Poor mr bazzles willy!

EddieIzzardIsMine · 30/05/2012 10:14

Well, see, thats the thing, I had a late AF and then an early EWCM so actually not really got a clue where I am...

EddieIzzardIsMine · 30/05/2012 10:15

Baz stock up on Lucazade and Kendal mint cake for energy, sounds like you need it!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 10:15

Tricky! You got any crazy symptoms or anything? How long ago was the ewcm?

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 10:16

Thing is its like taking your first wee on a night out, once you crack one open your on a testing frenzy!

EddieIzzardIsMine · 30/05/2012 10:23

I think EWCM was about 10-ish days ago....

So was due AF on the 5th, actually came on the 9th.

Ovulation should have been around the 23rd but got EWCM around the 19th so, yea, about 10 days ago...

No symptoms yet but didnt have any with DS either - poas at 5/6 weeks and had no symptoms (thought "this is so easy/can't see why women complain/obviously I'm good at being pregnant and will bloom" - HA!) until 8/9 weeks and then was sick up to 10 times a day until 35 weeks so nothing this early isnt necessarily ruling it out iykwim?

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 10:24

No not all all I didn't get anything, but I just knew about 14 dpo. My boobs went weird! They felt hot!

EddieIzzardIsMine · 30/05/2012 10:29

I will hold out a few more days chants this repatedly I think

If its there, it'll still be there at weekend (fx)

If not, then I wont have wasted a test

Pickle I'm 10 dpo today so fx for burny boobs come Sunday! Your due 11th right?

Bazzle · 30/05/2012 10:37

Oh no don't say that - SWI again tonight then :(

Eddie good luck trying to hold out!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 10:53

Should be about then. I've got 10 days to wait until I can start poas again. My cbfm isn't asking for tests any more so I feel bereft!

jessi0343 · 30/05/2012 12:46

Good luck everyone with your 2ww!! I know its hard to hold off on testing, but hang in there!

AF has gone, and DH and I start SWI this week! We'll just do it every 36-48 hours all month I think. Worked last time when we were TTC! Really hope it works for us as quick as before!

What 'tricks' do others use? I always prop up with a pillow afterwards :o

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 30/05/2012 13:13

I put my legs in the air but wether that actually does anything is anyone's guess! My dp shouts at me don't let it leak out! (tmi)!

jessi0343 · 30/05/2012 13:34

haha Pickle!!

somethingwittynot · 30/05/2012 20:06
