Struggling to conceive No.2 after getting pregnant easily first time round

[Metalhead]

Still here, still struggling on, still hoping to get there in the end. Come on ladies, we'll all get our BFPs in 2015 (if not before)!

Thanks guys, but bfn here. woke up in the night needing to pee but to no avail! Then woke up this morning finally feeling more like I have pmt. Probably for the best this month -I don't think 6 weeks pregnant is the best state of mind for an important job interview....

Sorry to hear that little, but loving your positive attitude! Maybe you'll get a double whammy next month - new job and BFP .

Sorry Little. Treat yourself today.

Thanks metal. I'm actually feeling the most positive I think I ever have after a bfn, which is nice. For once, I wasn't really thinking it would be positive because I've had all these symptoms before. So it seems to have just stopped my mind going into overdrive. I'm sure having the job interview to focus on is helping. And it means I can do three weeks of 5:2 to lose the half inch I need to to fit properly into my suit! Onwards and upwards.

Sorry Little. But a great attitude and you can focus on your interview now as you say x

Well despite saying I wasn't going to drive myself mad this month, last night felt so crampy I was convinced period was coming a week early. Not crampy this morning and no period so now crossing everything may have been implantation???? No other symptoms and no spotting although know that's unusual. This will be a long 8 days. ... and even if I am will be worrying now about another mc. How's everyone this morning?

Sounds promising chendy. I've started overanalysing already. Pelvic pain/cramps yesterday but on both sides which is more suggestive that it's in my head.

Off to the zoo today for a family day. Happy Sunday everyone x

Enjoy the zoo, tweej! Can drive yourself nuts.....

I'm also spotting symptoms like mad (itchy right nipple, anyone...? ). Realistically though there's nothing to suggest this month is going to be any different.

I actually think this thread is in need of some good news and hopefully this is the month it will work out.

5dpo here. Just asked Dh how he felt about the ttc journey. Firstly he didn't understand what I meant. Basically sees no issue in it and really believes it will work out. Need to take a leaf from his book I think.

This thread has gone a bit quiet, maybe there has been lots of secret bfps x

Still here, just had a(nother) weekend away. Really hard bed so glad to be home.

Absolutely no symptoms, which suggests to me that it's a no - last time I just "knew" and felt different in my abdomen. Was a long shot this month but won't know for sure until next weekend, so you never know. I'm planning to start temping next month - any advice?

When's your interview Little?

Ha Tweej my husband is exactly the same!!! Feeling for everyone in the 2ww right now, it's so hard. We're just entering 'trying week' so I'll be there soon myself.

Metal, re the statistic - it took my sister 2 years to conceive dd2 and my best friend just got her bfp last week after nearly 2 years of ttc dc2 so there's hope for us yet! I hope! X

Think you're right tweej- some bfps heading our way, can feel it in my bones!

I'm still lurking here too. Af arrived yesterday at day 28 and 11 dpo so last month was def a fluke. Sickness and diarrhoea also arrived in our house last night all round so a pretty shitty weekend (literally!). Onwards and upwards...

I'm throwing in sore boobs and crying at a Taylor Swift song on the way to work this morning. Feeling a lot like PMT now. Stupid hormonal symptoms! Grrrr.

Cried last night for no reason other than I miss my sane rational mind. Cried leaving my dd this morning.

I'm losing it.

You guys are funny! I still weirdly don't have sore boobs even though I'm sure on tomorrow. Makes a nice change really -usually they're killing me by now. Feeling the pmt anger though, which is nice given that I'm away on my birthday long weekend holiday. Off to peppa pig world shortly (way to spend my 40th!) and ds has another snotty cold virus so I'm sure the whole day will be a joy!

You're all right though -we're overdue some more good news. Fingers crossed some of the hormonal tears (Taylor Swift?!) and itchy boobs are for good reason! x

Sorry goodegg -just spotted your message. That doesn't sound like a good weekend at all. Hope today is better. x

Morning all, I can add lower backache and every now and then some pelvic achiness to the pot! No sore boobs or creamy cm though so I'm pretty sure I'm out again this month, even though AF is not due until Sunday.

Sorry to hear you're all ill goodegg, hopefully it's just a 24-hour thing.

little have a fab birthday, I hope your DS gets over his virus soon and you'll all have a great time!

brindler that's great news about your friend and sis, and of course there is always hope. I just don't think I'm going to be one of the lucky ones, when it comes to health-related stuff I always seem to draw the short straw.

Oh dear GoodEgg, not fun! Are you all starting to feel better today?

Metal, I see your pelvic achiness (or is it because I had a Chinese last night...?) and raise you one cold sore. Haven't had one for years, and usually only when things are out of whack.

I am prescribing myself with an evening of catching up on Sewing Bee as H is out tonight. I may watch call the Midwife too, but really, not sure if I can hack it...

I think we should make symptom spotting bingo cards to jolly the two week wait along. Definitely got a full house between us. Now just need someone to get that bfp.

Ah, Taylor, she got me this morning! Ironically a really happy song- shake it off- just motivated me to suck it up amd keep going! Crying for no good reason (adverts, songs, lord knows what else) is a real PMT thing for me though my boobs are super sore so will continue to be hopeful. I'm up for bingo, anything to lighten the window!
Metal, sorry you're sounding down. Have you got anything in the pipeline to look forward to?

OK, I have another couple to tick off on my bingo card: hopelessly optimistic even after a bfn and when displaying perfect pmt symptoms; then af appearing right on time as of nothing ever happened. Grrr!

Sorry little; if it's any consolation I always do the same, test early and then still cling on to some last shred of hope until AF invariably shows up.

chendy I'm ok really, just getting more resigned to the fact it's not goin to happen for us I think. Work is also crap this month which doesn't help.

Morning girls, that bingo card is filling up.

Made a decision last night and handed over my pregnancy tests to my DH. Not testing early this month. Gonna try be super rational and calm. Friend called last night, pregnant after 2 years ttc. So delighted for her. There is hope.

Symptoms-Hmmmm, cramps, emotional, creamy cm, sore boobs and hungry. So kinda like every other month.
