If TTC # 2 has turned you into a nut job this thread is for you! (Part 4)

[sebsmummy1]

Hey!! We have had lots of graduates from Part 3, so let's get on the TTC bus part 4 and make this place a ghost town.

Destination Pregnancy, choooo choooooo

Other did other opk this morn (I know I said I wouldn't but have the packet and am intrigued now) and think I have a genuine smiley face. I don't think I will ever see the flashing one. It's peak or nothing with me it appears. Better get shagging again tonight. I'm knackered tho!!

Ok not other other... Weird phone

Sebs - how are you doing my lovely??

Did the sticks look like a peak fed up? I didn't think I ever got a false positive on those sticks but god who knows!!!! No wonder people end up not trusting anything including the rather expensive monitor I have sitting in my cupboard.

I am actually very good. The discharge now has the slightest tinge of brown, getting lighter every day. So it does seem as though it could have just been getting rid of old blood along with the increased cm pregnancy generates.

No symptoms other than the positive pregnancy tests though. It is weird to hear about other peoples morning sickness when I am scoffing down breakfast.

Fingers crossed for everyone this cycle. Hopefully 2014 is going to see some lovely positive results.

I am pleased sebs. Sounds like getting rid of old gunk for the good gunk (if you know what I mean!)

Yeah - no blurry lines or screens this time and two good lines. Think will try have sex tonight and tomorrow. Not sure can handle much more than that at the mo!

Fantastic. Yep, sex tonight and tomorrow then one day off and the next for luck. Keep pissing on the sticks just to check the peak passes. How exciting

So glad for you sebs. We needed good news on here. Hello to everyone else. I really enjoy the support on here.

Yeah but those daft sticks make you wait two days after smiley to be able to use holder again!!

It's sunny today so makes everything seem a whole lot better. This rain has been hideous!

At a huge soft play this morning and I'm def the only one with just one child (or bump). It's stuff like this that's a right slap in the face isn't it? Was doing quite well emotionally today too :(

Consoling myself with an illegal latte and a white chocolate muffin. Promise to clean my supposed to be whiter teeth when get home and will go to the gym (and have sex) tonight to burn it off :)

I know exactly what you mean.. DS goes to TumbleTots, and is in the 2-3 year bracket.. So many of the other mums are there with small babies in carriers/prams/car seats.. It does feel like a slap in the face :-(

My Ov sticks are still negative.. CM seems to be on the change though. Am meant to be working away until Wednesday but couldn't go as I have done my back in. Good thing as it means I get to wfh, and am sharing a bed with DH.. but not sure how I'm going to convince him to BD when I have spent all day shuffling around the house like a hunchback.. not exactly the biggest turn on!

fedup you are so right. We live near a lovely big park with a great cafe full of mums and yesterday there were tiny babies everywhere in it. I do some sort of baby thing a few times a week and even though my baby isn't quite 2 it does seem that everyone is already on with the second.

What day are you on punky? I know the frustration with negatives too.So much for these blood tests, on day 14 here and not even a high fertility sign from the fertility monitor yet. I don't seem to ovulate until ridiculously late though, hoping it will happen earlier now the levels are a bit more normal.

Hopefully it will be us all juggling two very soon.

Getting up this morn for work was hard as it's so cold and my walk to station is pitch black. 12 hours and will be home again.
Have a good day everyone!

Oh and punky I hope your back gets better soon. Sounds so painful.
I hope both you and zippy get your pos opks soon. I'm an early ovulator so if I haven't had anything by cd 12 it's very weird but then I have 25 day cycles (or thereabouts!) waiting for a stupid smiley face is almost as bad as getting bfns isn't it?

Punky I know exactly what you mean about soft play, very hard to go at the moment. And my bad back was helped by DTD so go for it! Hope you feel better soon.

Cd25 here, argh must resist poas until Saturday if AF hasn't rocked up to spoil things....time is standing still.

Day 13 here. I didn't ov until day 20 last cycle, but prior to that had always been day 13. Am hoping I don't need to wait until day 20 this cycle as it is driving me up the wall already. DH seems really down and out of sorts at the moment.. though he keeps saying nothing is wrong, and I don't want to start pushing about DTD until we need to.. though I really just want to go for it this month. I need to have a word with him later about it all, as it just depresses me as I feel like I am walking on eggshells again. :-/

Back is slightly better today. It is more the standing up and sitting down bit that hurts.. and then when I stand up I am a bit stiff for a while (hence the hunchback) and then it is ok until I have to sit down again! Oh well, like I said at least it means I get to stay home this week.

Happy Tuesday! (only 4 days until the weekend!) ;-)

Oh punky, it's so tough isn't it, your DH sounds similar to mine, he's very busy with work etc and is walking around like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders at the moment, so it is hard to then go anyway let's DTD! Hope your back is on the mend soon, hang in there x

Hello all waves

Not sure if anyone remembers me, I was on fred one, now been TTC for two years (AF started this morning 3 days late the cow).

Anyway we have our referral to the fertility clinic through and the appt is on the 29th Jan

I am dead nervous.

Now I will go back and read the rest of the fred

Punky I too suffer with a bad back, all DDs fault, I think if I have another one I will turn into the hunchback!! I am going for physio for it but it doesn't seem to be working as well as I would hope. DTD certainly doesn't help, especially when I try and keep my legs up in the air afterwards but needs must and all that....
Hope your chat with DH goes ok tonight.
Cake how long are your cycles again? I'm sorry my memory is terrible. Do you think you can wait until sat to POAS? I will be having a poas party too on sat as we are having an actual party on sat night and I would like to know if I can drink or not! I was just going to wait for AF to show up this month though as I can't be doing with any more bfns. Party will be good commiseration anyway though.
Fedup I'm with you on the second babies everywhere. I am finding it harder and harder to take DD anywhere toddler/fun related as there are just bumps and babies everywhere. It's not even babies that get me though, it's seeing any siblings together and wondering if DD will ever have that There was a woman in the knitting shop earlier telling the cashier that she was starting knitting for a woman at her work, she'd just found out she pregnant with number 2, her DC was 3, what wonderful, happy news yadda yadda, and I just thought come on! Of all the times I could have gone into the shop I had to overhear that!!!!
Sebs how are you feeling? Have you made your booking in apt yet?

Zippy hope you get your +ve opk soon, which sticks are you using?
Hello Talla I am a newbie on this thread, but hello to you! 2 years, you poor thing, how have you coped?? Do you have one DC already? Good luck with your appt, will be interesting to hear what the Dr has to say.

Hello Talla, really good luck with your appt, do let us know how you get on.

lucy don't worry it's impossible to remember everyone's details! My cycles have been 27, 25 and 34 days so far! Saturday would be cd29 and I am determined not to test before then, I know in my heart of hearts this month is very unlikely and I'd just be happy to have a sensible cycle. So lets make a deal - we keep each other for testing til sat ok? Your party will be fab either way, as you say you can commiserate if not but maybe just maybe it could be a real celebration, fingers crossed x

From not for!

Hi girls I am ok. Have my docs appointment tomorrow so will let you know what he says re. bleeding. I suspect nothing lol going from my last experience with him.

I am having normal pregnancy discharge now. Not brown at all. Fingers crossed for all of us xx

Phew. Sounds like it just was a bit of breakthrough bleeding then sebs. Hurrah!

So husband is out tonight and just went to the loo to find (sorry way tmi) a v long ewcm bit. I find it funny how this would have previously grossed me out (am super squeamish) but now I'm like oooooooh. Although I really think I need to do the cough medicine thing as mine is quite rubbery more than watery / slippery. So even though I have it, it doesn't feel like the right stuff. FFS!

Good luck talla I was Fred one and remember you! Bum that we are both still here :(

Sebs, good luck today, do keep us posted

Fedup, I thought all EWCM was the right stuff, never knew texture mattered! You are a cm expert!

Good luck today Sebs, thinking of you!

Hi Talla, sorry you are still in this situation after 2 years. Wishing you lots of luck with your appointment.

Thanks Cake and Lucy, back seems a bit better today, and yes we DTD last night.. I only managed about half the chat with DH that I practised in my mind, but it worked for this month anyway.. or maybe it was the floods of tears that did it.., either way it is a pretty good job something worked as I got an 'almost' positive on the OPK stick yesterday. Bit of a surprise coming from nothing the previous day (not even a squinter).. so hopefully going to DTD again today, and maybe tomorrow if temperature hasn't jumped up by then.

Hopefully too this is a sign my cycle is getting back to normal(ish)..

FedUp I'm with you on the cough mixture next month though. When I said in an earlier post EWCM was 'on the change' it was (TMI ALERT) really thick.. I'd never seen it that thick before.. and again was waiting for lots of EWCM like last month to start BD.. but now I get the OPK (almost) positive) out of nowhere and hardly any CM, and what is there is really thick.. Talk about head-f*.. it's hard enough ttc without getting a curveball every month!!

I had my legs and bum propped up for half the night though so hoping that helped a bit!

Right, on with some work now.. Happy Wednesday!!

Gosh Cake we are quite similar! My last 3 cycles have been 23,24 and 34 days!! I'm used to 26 day cycles, I haven't come off the pill or stopped breastfeeding so I'm guessing it's just down to stressing myself out over ttc I am just the same as you, I don't feel optimistic for this cycle, and I too would just love to get back to normal cycles. sat will be cd26 for me. Sounds like a date Cake!! Two parties for me on sat!!
Good luck with your Dr tomorrow Sebs!
Fedup maybe perhaps you are reading too much into it!!?? have you been drinking the cough medicine? Did you manage to dtd last night?
