TTC #2 - would anyone like to share the journey?

[CarrotPuff]

All ages and age gaps welcome!

I'm 29, have a 16mo DS, TTC since periods came back in July 2014, had a mc in Jan.

Anyone else?

It was first month and feels strange after waiting a year last time - crazy. I used the Ovia app and was useful for tracking symptoms.

Side twinges and endless indigestion were symptoms for me. Nausea after ovulation and feeling really run down and coldy this week.

Congrats queazy
No solid smiley face for me yet but nauseatingly awful flower app tells me I'm ovulating today so going for the safety shag later providing DH gets back from the football at a reasonable hour !

To be honest woundbobbin, nothing wrong with a safety shag but I'd ignore the ovulation dates on those apps - they are only based on "averages". Mine always says I ov on day 12 and it's more like 15/6 which can really make a difference to ttc!

Congratulations Queasy!

Welcome LaPampa - we were pretty apprehensive about 2 'cos things have just got so good (DS 12mo), so we have had lots of talks about whether this is the right time. There are lots of reasons to wait, but more to get it over with - short term pain, long term gain and all that I'm not getting too involved with charting btu I've been looking at the nauseating flower app too, just to track AF and CM. We'll see

I think I'm probably out this month, only CD 14, not sure if ovulated yet 'cos haven't had any pains but DH is ill and we only managed to DTD on CD11 before he got ill. If I ovulated early and didn't know I may have a shot, but unlikely. Never mind, only cycle 1

Sorry to all who've been caught by the witch x

Not sure i will get much choice mrsmugoo when DH left for footie I'd
recently got back from a run and dd had a wee all over me not sure that looking sweaty out of breath and covered in toddler urine is much of a turn on

Congrats Queazy!

I'm currently cradling a v poorly DS who has been sick 7 times in the last 3 hours. We have removal men arriving at 7am and I'm too busy worrying about watching for symptoms of whatever DS has to be on the lookout for pg symptoms or AF (due tomorrow). Timing couldn't be worse - we were supposed to be finishing packing once DS was in bed but poor DP is doing it single handed.

Feeling a bit rough. Crossing fingers it's not the lurgy, mostly because a house move is going to be a logistical nightmare with a sick toddler let alone sick parents.

Good luck with the shaggathon & the job applications carrot - do you use opk's?

Hey LaPampa :) What about using CB digi ovulation kits? Just wee on he stick and get a yes or no to if you should be dtd that day!

And wow - congratulations to you queazy you must be thrilled :)

Oh no tango that sounds like a nightmare I hope DS wakes up better tmrw and good luck with the move :)

CD4 here... Yawn! Lol

Hi everyone!
I've been quiet but have been lurking!
Congratulations queazy!
Nice to see newbies too - fingers crossed for bfps all round!
Cd8 here, very boring - but get to start peeing on clearblue ovulation sticks soon so that always cheers me up!
Started reflexology last night as my cycles are all over the place and I'm stressing out. Was really good so hopefully it will make a difference.
Good luck to any poas-ers soon!

Hello, can I join you lovely ladies please? I'm cycle day 1 of cycle 4. We have a delightful 3yo dd who was conceived quickly so I feel new to this roller coaster and feeling I have no control of my body! Strategy for this month - be as healthy as possible!

Welcome Diana - day 3 here, we are cycle buddies!

Hi MrsMugoo! Glad to have found a cycle buddy! I'm still feeling a bit :( that we're starting another month. I've used OPKs for the past two months and haven't ovulated until cd19 with af then coming on cd29 or 30. We have a family wedding this weekend but part of my new healthy strategy is to cut back on alcohol - damn ttc!

Haha bobbin that must have been quite a sight! Did you get your safety shag?

Oh no Tango I hope you don't get the same lurgi, and that your DS feels better soon too. Good luck with the move!

Torfhinn FX you're still in with a chance! Sperm survives for up to 5 days, so you never know!

Char I don't use OPKs, but I'm 95% certain I've ovulated yesterday. So 1DPO today

Diana welcome, hopefully not too much longer!

No shag last night again. I'm letting it go though. Just discovered that DS decided to cut molars before the second pair of bottom incisors. We are yet to have a night of unbroken sleep this week

Oh god it's so boring having your period and waiting for the whole shebang to start again!

Get on the wine Mugoo it's the only way! Also Friday = fat tea, HIGNFY, googlebox & graham norton easily pleased me!

Hi - been lurking for while - going all in the month bought ovulation sticks for first time so here goes - have 7y old conceived v quickly - got cancer so put baby plans on hold - sept 15 got 5 year clear so decided to try again against odd got pregnant straight away but miscarried just before Christmas - had five BFN since then so roll on cycle 6 !

lovely to here the good news of others gives us all hope - good luck to everyone trying at week end xxx

Inevitably DP & I went down with the stomach bug last night. Half our belongings are still in the old house, all our belongings are in boxes, we've not been able to do anything, except half-heartedly waft 14mo DS away from all new hazards.

In other news AF is now late (1 day) but a house move and stomach flu will do that. Every joint aches, maybe lurgy, maybe AF. Too ill to go to shop for twat, too dehydrated to POAS anyway.

Oh NO!!

Test not twat. Obviously. I'm too feeble to deal with autocorrect.

Ha ha Tango! I'd have to think of you differently if you'd gone out to buy twat Hope you feel better soon and Fx for the potential testing when you feel better!

Welcome Pixie, lovely to have you here. You've had such a hard road, well done for the positive-ness

Not much happening here, still have EWCM (CD16) and DH is feeling a little better, so will be trying to seduce him later! Wish me luck

Oh tango! That sounds hideous you poor things :(

Have you got any medicines or rehydration sachets? Are you eating anything yet?

Hey all.

I'm 29 and have a DD who is almost 6 (what? how did that happen!?). I always intended to have two close together but since her dad turned out to not be the one for me as it happened that didn't happen.

So ttc number 2. Bit nervous to be honest, seems like forever since I did the baby thing and much as I can't wait to have another I do think "oh god, not sleepless nights again!" which tbh is probably more exaggerated since my darling daughter didn't sleep through until she was 4.5!! And then there's the fact that sometimes one drives me utterly insane, am I crazy to have another? but I think this is normal?! ish? I don't know lol

Anyway! I have just stopped taking the pill. And it took 9 months to conceive my little monkey so I expect it will be a while before I get a BFP, but you never know!

It's just starting to ease off now mugoo (hit us simultaneously at midnight last night, thank God the new place has 2 loos!). I've had a couple of rich teas and will see how it goes from there, we're a bit short of supplies on account of the medicine cabinet being one of the left-behind things (DP was supposed to shuttle back today) and fridge and shopping don't arive until tomorrow.

Still. A reasonable distraction from the task in hand.

Welcome Pteradactyl!

Welcome Pteradactyl!

Evening ladies! Hope you get to test when you feel better tango!!

And big congratulations Queazy! :)

I won't be able to message on here for a week as going on holiday in the morning! But I'll catch up on the goss when I'm back :) xx

Hey all... Welcome Diana / Pixie / pterodactyl :)

Oh Tango so sorry you're having a rough time! I really hope it's a quick 24 hr bug and you're back to full health soon. I have to say your auto correct error made me spit tea out laughing !

CD6 here... Boring! But not too long until I can start weeing on op sticks lol

Happy holidays avasmummy :)
