About to start / just started TTC No 2 (thread 2)

[HungryHorace]

Part 2 this way!

We had 6 BFPs in just over a month on the first thread, so here's hoping the luck continues.

Would you take a wee sample with to my first appointment with the midwife?

Hi everyone, first time posting in the conception section!

TTC no. 2 for two months now, however almost certain I'm out for this month (AF due Friday).

Had sore boobs most of last week (still do) so did a Numark test last night - negative. Pulled it out of the bin this morning (gross I know) and a faint, thin line was there. Researched and most people said it could be evap.

Went out about an hour ago and bought First Response - negative :-(

DD1 has just turned 4 so I feel like time is ticking... I really don't want any more than 5 years between.

Any tips most welcome, I haven't had any EWCM for last two cycles, any ideas why this may be?

Hi tap dancing! Welcome. I don't know why ew only seems to happen to some people. I know some who never have it. Might be worth the ov tests? I didn't plan to use them but got impatient (first month) and second month got bfp! I know it's not as simple as that and some of its luck too. Hungry / Lucy did u use them? Hungry I'm sorry if it's af. I found it easier to assume it is rather than other way so u can just move on. Last month I had all these intense symptoms and then when I got af bit early was convinced it was implant until day three. I'm not saying its not but it def helped me to close that month and assume it was if that makes sense. Anyway fx all the same. Let's hope it diseappears??
Mrs I used to ask for sample pot when I arrived when pg with ds. I just assumed they always wanted one!
My symptoms don't seem very strong any more which I'm trying not to worry about. Having felt quite sick last week I have been feeling less sick and no sore boobs.do need to wee a lot and dreams are still insane though. Bfp was stronger line last night so just need to be positive. Drs on wed. Might ask if anyway of persuading them to do my 12 week scan pre Christmas. I want to tell my family on Christmas Day ideally - all being well x

Hi Tap. I've no more wisdom than Toothpaste, but I don't always get it either. I did use OPKs and we DTD 8 days out of 10, so gutted if I'm not pregnant. :-(

Mrs, yes, you do need to take a sample to booking in. Your surgery can give you a pot!

Toothpaste, my symptoms came and went last time. DH had to constantly reassure me! Totally normal. :-)

The only thing I'm clinging to is that the bleeding started 4 days before AF was due. What's worse is if it is AF it means my luteal phase is too short. But it wasn't last cycle, so I'm baffled. :-/

Oh, and I've had bonkers dreams the last two nights too.

I hate my body!

Does sound confusing. I would wait two days and test if u can? Then u can decide that whatever that test says u will go with. That helps me anyway. It's the waiting that's the hardest I find.

I won't test tomorrow anyway, as it's my birthday. So on Weds I'll test again and go from there.

But I've decided it's AF for now. Best way, as you say.

Hi Tapdancing and welcome!
Toothpaste- why are concerned? Have you booked to see the midwife yet? I think until you get to the 12 week scan everyone is a bit anxious, I know I am. I am not 100 percent how far I am so could be 8 or 9 weeks. Just wish that scan was tomorrow.
Hungry - on a brighter note, what do you have planned for your birthday?

Sorry, just catching up on things after hectic weekend. Family issues just what I don't need. Broke our news to my Dad at the weekend, he couldn't even bring himself to congratulate us (he's lived overseas since I was a child so our relationship is strained/limited at best). I can tell he's annoyed that he'll be expected to fly over here after the baby arrives and he'd rather spend the money visiting his new girlfriend. I don't know what I expected really!

Anyway, Hungry, my IB was so heavy it didn't occur to me that it wasn't AF until it stopped too soon. I was so convinced it was AF that I used tampons
If it is IB then your HCG may not be high enough to get a BFP yet. That said, I don't blame you for assuming its AF, sometimes it's better to limit expectations just in case, but it all sounds promising to me (sorry, not being very helpful).

Engels, I'm sorry you're still having issues, it must be so frustrating not being able to move on. I hope you get some resolution soon so you can get back to TTC.

Welcome newbies, here's to at least 6 more BFPs for thread number 2!

Sorry I can't name check more, still catching up xx

Hope no one minds me joking this thread in ttc #3. And in my 2 week wait on my second cycle off the implant. And it's starting to do my head in already!

Mrs, absolutely nothing

Fail!

Absolutely nothing planned as we don't have a babysitter, sadly.

Windy, that's crap re your dad. Has he always been that 'supportive' or is it a recent thing? Do you have much to do with him?

I really hope you're right re this bleeding, but yes, I'm managing expectations. And I had to use a tampon so I could take DD swimming earlier. They don't thank you for bleeding like shark bait in the pool. :-/

We shall see on Weds, I suppose!

Hi Peace! Welcome. :-)

Hungry I had IB on the sunday night then got the faintest bfp on the tuesday so give it 24hrs of no bleeding then test fx for you xx

I seem to have stopped bleeding now. So, time will tell now!

I want to not be optimistic. But I do feel like this is a bit odd.

Thanks hungry

Oh, it can take 4-5 days after implantation for a test to be positive. That's interesting.

Now...please stop me dreaming! Xx

Peace, TTC is the quickest way to go mental ever!

Another newbie to the thread here. Started TTC no 2 this month, so we're in the early stages. The symptom spotting has started already, trying not to get too carried away.

Fingers crossed that it is an IB rather than AF Hungry.

Hi Monster. Good to see you. :-)

And thank you!

Welcome monster!

Shark bait

Yeah my Dad isn't really the touchy-feely type and could be described as a "free spirit", but we get on ok as long as I don't expect anything from him. He was surprisingly brilliant about DD and adores her, so this just came as a disappointment, but like I said, he's got a new girlfriend now so his priorities have changed. I'll get over it.

It's really hard this time my first child I fell while on the pill and my 2nd I fell I the first 2 weeks so this is the first time I'm actually having to try!

That is a shock to the system then, Peace!

Windy, it makes me sad looking at your post there. :-(

I hope your dad surprises you once your baby arrives.

Aw don't feel sad for me, I have an awesome mum and a stepdad who treats me like his own daughter. I'm very blessed really. I'm just disappointed right now but everyone else in both our families is ecstatic about the baby, so I'll just focus on that, who needs the negativity right?

I'm a lucky old sod, so I refuse to feel sad
