TTC #2 and turning into a nut job!

999 replies

gemmeg · 18/02/2013 07:13

Ladies, bring me back down to Earth before it's too late! I'm TTC #2 and its only the 2nd cycle and I'm already doing my own head in not to mention my OH.....we're not the kind of couple to have regular sex when not TTC (much to my disappointment ) so it's a real effort for DS to, erm, pull his finger out as it were and DTD every other day. With DS1 I had no idea about CM and OPKs and just used an ovulation calendar for timing but this time round I'm in danger of falling into the OPK trap! I'm aware of my constant whittling and DH even said that he hopes I get pregnant this month so he doesn't have to listen to me begging for him to do it just one more time! Anyone in the same boat?

Hi stone - I am counting down the days until my scan - it's not until next Friday (7th). I am very nervous - my boobs have stopped hurting too so not sure what to think x

Coolhand · 29/05/2013 21:30

Me too, Talla, AF arrived today but after the negative test on Monday I was certain it was on its way.

It's good being able to see others in 2ww with possibilities though - fx.

We're going to Spain on 29th June for a week so have decided if it doesn't happen this next cycle, I'm ok with it. It would be could to be able to have a glass of wine in the evenings with a meal and relax.

mrscookie78 · 29/05/2013 22:19

sorry to hear af is here talla and cool but feel positive that your on day 1
who mentioned they had scar pain, ive had scar pains all week so far. im cd 25 and dpo6 I think, haven't a clue when af will turn up.

Ninunina · 30/05/2013 06:29

I mentioned the pinching just above my scar cookie. The pain has become more of a feeling of fulness now, and Google says it could be a sign of implanation, so here's hoping
feeling a little less nauseous than yesterday today though. . so maybe it's just a bug

AbiBub · 30/05/2013 10:08

Morning ladies!

How is everyone?

ninu I know what you mean about the SAHM thing for sure! Although we're busy we still have good thinking time. Im hoping your different feeling and scar pain is agood sign! : 0 )

mrscookie I think we all do that over analysing thing, its so easy to do really i think we want to know sooner so we can start protecting the little sticky beans asap! Im hoping your scar pain is also a good sign! Keep us updated?

mummy how you feeling? Hopefully yhe next week whizzes by so next Friday comes round sooner for you. Just to hopefully make you feel at ease, my boobs didnt always hurt whilst I wa pg with ds. Try and think of it as a bit of rest bite!

bartbaby so you're about 10dpo now? How are your symptoms now?

cool sorry to hear af arrived I also hate it when cycle lengths are all mish mash, mine have been like that recently I used to be a definite 28days . So brand new cycle then, onwards and upwards! Hope you enjoy your hols! You never know if you relax enough you may find that a break away will refresh your spirits.

talla sorry to hear the evil af witch arrived for you too. here's to the new cycles huh!

So do you both have any ideas in your dtd plans?

babyrose and muzzy how are you both feeling? Its not over till the af witch arrives, so im keeping all pinkies crossed for you both!

So I started off my dtd in tues just gone and the next one is planned for tomorrow. Im feeling a lot more relaxed this time round that I know we have a 2day gap in between dtd. I have plans tk dtd up to cd 22 or 25 namely bcos my ov times are probably completely out of sync with when I think I ov!! So just gonna try it like this for a while. How is everyone?

BartBaby · 30/05/2013 10:38

Hi abi glad your dtd is going to plan, it sounds like a good plan to me so fx for you.

Well i gave in and POAS yesterday! Obv at 9dpo it was certain to be a bfn but the tests kept looking at me! same again today. Theyre the cheapies off amazon so i have plenty left but im not very hopeful now this month

Ive not had any more cramps but still really sore boobs. But i had that aswell last month so it looks like its probably going to happen every month just to give me false hope!

Hope everyone else is doing ok x

muzzy2011 · 30/05/2013 10:47

I like the sound of your plan abi. Trying to DTD every day or every other day can put a lot of pressure on sometimes...I might try this next cycle! No AF but I've really given up all hope...after 3 pregnancies...(1 mc, 1 chemical pregnancy and 1 DD) I really feel I could tell at this stage as I knew with all of them before AF due. Defiantly not feeling it this time...how are you feeling babyrose?

muzzy2011 · 30/05/2013 10:48

Good luck bartbaby!

BartBaby · 30/05/2013 14:35

Thanks muzzy i think i need it!

babyrose · 30/05/2013 16:12

Due af tom or sat no cramps since 5 dpo but that could change! Nothing much else to report really. I'm testing in the morning just to be sure tho!

BartBaby · 30/05/2013 16:20

Fx babyrose we need to start getting some positives!

Tallalime · 30/05/2013 16:31

Afternoon all

Well AF is definitely here now so cd1 again for me. Had a spontaneous dtd session last night - initiated by DH - which I guess kick started things

Frustratingly I tried calling the GP this morning as I am supposed to get my bloods done on cd1 or 2 and they can't fit me in bloody half term so I have to wait til next month DH will get his sperm function test done this month though.

We have decided to have a dry month too so from Saturday no for 30 days, maybe that will make a diference.

StoneBaby · 30/05/2013 16:44

talla no for a month!!!??? Good luck

StoneBaby · 30/05/2013 20:41

A friend just had a DD today. I've been sobbing since seen her photo. DH gave me a hug and told me that'll be our turn soon

Coolhand · 30/05/2013 21:45

StoneBaby sounds like you have a lovely DH. It's so difficult when every part of you just wants it to happen so badly.

Ninu that sounds promising - I had a m/c before DS and both times I knew I was pregnant before AF was due to arrive - both times I had this really strong feeling of fullness. Fx that it will be something.

AbiBub · 30/05/2013 23:46

Hey ladies!

talla what a pain in the bum about the fertility stuff, I guess at least the ball is set in motion for it all. New cycle and a fresh start and you never know!! Well done and a high5 to you for having a dry month :0)

babyrose ooooh keeping all pinkies crossed for you, will you let us know how you get on please? I agree with bartbaby we need to get a few more positives so hopefully yours will be the start of it again

bartbaby im still keeping all my pinkies crossed for you, sit on those hands just a few more days and hopefully all the pinkie crossing will pay off!!

muzzy im not giving up hope for you if you dont I have enough pinkie crossing for all who need it, and that includes you lovely!

stone I know its tough but we are here for you if you need to offload isnt that right ladies?! Your DH sounds great in comforting and reassuring you . And im sure he's right in that it will be your turn soon. Big hugz.

Whats everyones plans for the weekend then?

winterpansy · 31/05/2013 10:48

Hey all,
Just checking in with the nutjobs!

abi Sounds like things are going well in the dtd dept?

Just got my booking in and scan appointment through - 11th June! I'll be 10+2. Most of our family and good friends know already so I hope everything is OK. I feel quite positive as I am 8+5 today and definitely feel pregnant so am much less anxious.

Bit of crap news from me though - I told my work I was pregnant last week (and found out they were not paying my tax and national insurance so I called them on it) so funnily enough my probation period didn't turn into a perm position. I hated the job anyway but I'm a bit freaked out about having no money! I am going to try and get some temping and apply for maternity allowance as soon as I can. Luckily DH earns ok money so we'll just about survive and I'll find something once the baby is a few months old hopefully. It's just taken the shine off it all at the minute.

But in better news it's DS's birthday weekend (he's 2 on Monday) so we have lots of fun things planned to take our minds off the crap stuff.

Hope you all have lovely things planned too x

AbiBub · 31/05/2013 11:48

Hey winter !!

Wow, where has the time gone already! ! So glad you are feeling more positive and pg too thats pants about work what complete arseholes, sorry for the language but that is just below the belt really! Pinkies crossed that you find something temping, and get covered on the MA . If you know its still going to be ok then its not worth stressing over! Yep dtd every 3 days feels so much more right. I feel more relaxed this month, deffo feel happier! :0)

How are we all ladies? babyrose any news?

Tryingandimpatient · 31/05/2013 16:05

Winterpansy - i am in the same boat with an AWOL AF this cycle (now CD 40!!).... spoke to my Gynae consultant yesterday and he said it means i am in an Anovulatory cycle (basically your body didn't ovulate when it should and you don't come on AF until you ovulate..... stress and anxiety is the most common cause although there are others).
I started a herbal remedy called Agnus Castus yesterday (it regulates your cycles but is not hormonal so doesn't hinder conception). Been using OPKs and got a smiley face again today so seems to be working!! once ovulation happens AF is due 14 days later.

Just thought it might be worth you thinking about too if AF still doesn't come

Good Luck

Tryingandimpatient · 31/05/2013 16:07

Sorry Winter - just saw your update so ignore my advice lol

Congratulations to you!!!! hope all goes smoothly

AbiBub · 31/05/2013 17:51

winter meant to say, hope you all have fabby and magical birthday celebrations with your DS!! Happy birthday to the little chap!

AbiBub · 31/05/2013 17:54

trying sounds like you are in tune with your bod and applying what is needed to help your cycles!! Hope all goes well this cycle and dtd etc!! And welcome to the nutters thread!!

winterpansy · 31/05/2013 20:01

Thanks abi arseholes indeed! I've said a lot worse over the past day or so! I am going to sign on jobseekers while I try and get sorted so am trying not to get too stressed. Much more important things are going on!
Lots of fun stuff planned for the weekend - I'm just about to decorate the living room with balloons and banners etc. Thanks for the happy birthday for him!
Glad you feel relaxed and happy. I've everything crossed for you this month again x

Thanks trying! Used opks to work out ov day and caught 2nd month so was very lucky. Hope all goes well for you too!

Moche · 31/05/2013 21:19

Hi ladies, Can I join? DD has just turned three - and I'm supposed to have had our second baby last month, but had a mmc in Oct - discovered during the 12 week scan. Pretty rough.

Anyhow, have been trying again since Jan - but, despite absolutely every pregnancy symptom every month , somehow, no luck - yet.

However, this seems to be a pretty lucky thread. And anyway, be good to share the opk madness.

AbiBub · 01/06/2013 09:56

Ooooh winter sounds like a good fun weekend planned!! It's good that you're not stressing over the work think, little bean is far more important for sure and you have the right thought processes to make sure your old work and possible new work dont upset you! Have a fabby weekend lovely!

moche welcome to the nutters thread!! We hope this is a thread that is lucky for you I think its a good thread to offload and help you relax a bit more when outside if the thread as this is a good outlet with like minded peeps! Sorry to hear of your mmc in oct. That must have been really tough going, big hugz to you. I think there is a lot of ladies on here that are in the same boat every month with the pg symptoms and then nothing, so hopefully this will feel like thd right support thread for you. What stage are you at in your cycle? Welcome aboard!!
