Obsessed with reading about ANYTHING to do with TTC!

[Beautifulboy1]

Hi future mummies out there, I am 32 and trying for our second baby, first baby we decided to start trying for on my birthday and we conceived that night?!
I now have a beautiful 10 month old boy!
Am thinking this next baby will take a long while because I was sooooo lucky last time!
Anyway if you are as obsessed as me and have any stories, information, myths, positions that have worked for you or you simply want to tell us how obsessed you are too.........................please add xxxxxxxxxx

I'm obsessed and wish I wasn't because nothing is true for everyone! Wish I could be more relaxed but never mind!

Hey don't apologise, we wouldn't all be on mumsnet if we were not all obsessed and needed support! If you think of anything you want to know or you are confused about then just ask and if I don't know, someone will or we can find out! I think about it all day too so let it all out, that's why I started the thread VJONES ;-)

Bless you. Well, my main concern at the moment us how reliable opks are? Am cd12 at the moment and has thin, clear mucus cd7-10 but nothing since except cramps yesterday and today. However, my opk is still negative. Perhaps the signs I'm getting mean I'm due to ov in the next few days?

I'm obsessed too! cooking dinner right now so will post properly later but I think that just shows how obsessed I am...ttc reading and cooking at the same time!

lol, pizzaqueen, I am on here while eating my dinner before popping out to work for 2 hours.
VJONES I could have written your comment myself! I have had 3 AF's since they returned post birth, I seem to have a 24 day cycle based on my last 3 dates, according to ovulation calendars/calculators I should be ovulating between 9th and 14th although have done about 3 tests per day since the 7th at different times and all negative! I have cheap opk's and clear blue and still nothing! I am hoping it will be tomorrow?! I have told my husband we WILL be dtd tonight and tomorrow just in case, chin up we will get there, might mean we both have a short Lutheal Phase x

Hope we can get an answer soon :(

I'm back! Also ttc baby no2, my ds is nearly three. I conceived him on the pill so also have no idea about my cycles etc, just started to obsess about all that.

we started ttc in Feb and I was preggers by start May but I miscarried at 9 weeks . This was my first full cycle since the mc and was convinved I was pregnant again but alas I got ny period this morning only 11dpo. Gutted. So now I'm going to put myself through the obsession of ttc for another month.

That's a shame :( Perhaps your cycles are still settling down, or maybe you just have a short luteal phase. Are you charting your cycle at all?

I think my cycles are all over the place as the cycle before my mc was 40 days so I have no idea what normal. im using an app too.

I did opks this month but temping isn't for me as I need to get up sharp with ds so as not to disturb dp so I'll never get an accurate reading.

just going to keep trying for next month.

Hi there, I used to be obssessed with reading everything about diet, now my obssession changed into ttc! Good to know that I'm not alone!
Pizzaqueen, if you try opk together with temping it can bring really reliable results.

So managed to dtd last night although still no positive opk, I have read a lot of articles that show opk's don't work with some people and I know that when I an ovulating I don't get any cm but I do get really hungry and want to eat everything in the cupboard plus a bit of cramping in my lower stomach. I also fell asleep with my bottom on the pillow so hopefully this helped! Lets just hope I was ovulating, fx

Hi Justb01, I was obsessed with slimming world for a long time but then when we decided to try again I thought, why bother?! the beauty of being pregnant is eating what you want so I made a promise to myself, baby then diet! lol Let us know how you are getting on!
