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?

Hi all, welcome Tfoot, Tt, Marmite, Nicely and Raluca!

Glad you got the solid smiley Mrsmugoo! Fx for this month.

Hope you are feeling less sore Patty

Sorry about AF Carrot, at least you can have

As for me... I'm confused . Woke up at 3.45am in the morning for a wee - wiped and got bright red blood. I'm about 4-7 days before AF due (CD25) and probably 9/10 DPO. This morning it has turned brown. AF normally starts with brown, not red. So, is it a super early AF thats being a bit weird, or can I get my hopes up about implantation bleeding? Not feeling like AF is here, but have no pregnancy symptoms either.

Gutted! I didn't get to dtd yesterday as ds was taken ill. So question :as yesterday was a faint second line do I still have time? Today dh comes late (and probably shattered ) so is tomorrow late?

Oh! And according to my chart yesterday was a temp dip (36.1) and today went up to 36.5 and I am on cd8.

So now I'm convinced I have AF cramps and nausea. So, obviously, I am both pregnant and on my period . This is going to be a looong few days!

Sorry, I can't help Raluca, I don't use OPK's or temp, hopefully someone else will be along with some advice x

Is ok Torfhinn. I still have a +opk today. .. hopefully it is not too late this month

Fingers crossed it was implantation Torfhinn.

Raluca egg lives for 12-24h, I think a shag won't harm

Carrot I am always ready to have good time. I noticed before my 2nd mc that opk is + since day 7 until day 14-15 and as such I can only say I ovulate by temp spike (I used an ovulation microscope). My body seems not to cooperate with me

Thanks Torfhinn Fingers crossed for you, that sounds very much like implantation to me! I'm much better now. The police have interviewed the guy that hit me under caution and I have 2 witnesses to say my lights were green, he should have given way and didn't. As for me CD 26 today, no symptoms at all so just waiting as I usually start spotting on day 26.

Just checking in - 3dpo here so not a lot going on. I feel quite relaxed about this month. If not successful this month then taking a month off ttc next month I think as ov will clash with Glastonbury.

My best friend came over last night who's been trying for #1 for nearly 2 years and is just about to start hormone drugs as she's been diagnosed with low LH hormone. Kind of put everything into perspective really. I couldn't imagine what telling her I'm pregnant a 2nd time would be like

fingers crossed for you torfhinn, it sounds promising and hope you managed to catch the egg raluca

I have finally accepted I'm out this month after a few days of denial- AF was early, and only red for two days which is v unlike me (usually more like 6-7 days) and then light spotting for four days. POAS yesterday even though I knew there was no point and of course BFN

Well we certainly did our best last night! Thing is I think it was too early for me to ovulate if I look back at 2 previous months so I think I'll keep having a good time again.... and again this week. Maca root seems to uplift my mood but then again dh said I am always in a mood for it ??

CD 1. 'Nuff said

Torfhinn & Marmite

I've just had my coil out! I'm dead excited! Though it's CD17 so a bit late really.

Shall I buy some ICs? I've got a few left from DS but they went out of date in 2012! Or will it be jinxing it to buy anything at all?

Torfhinn I really hope you get your rainbow! Just try not to stress! I know it's easy to say it but stress is the best contraceptive these days.

Thanks Raluca I do my best to remain stress free, just a little disappointed this month as i conceived DS on cycle 2 and irrationally hoped it would be the same this time. For the record, I am lucky enough not to have suffered a loss so not a rainbow baby for me, just an ordinary squishy one

Congratulations on the coil removal indominable. Exciting times!

Just checking in here. 5dpo and starting to get quite anxious. Hate the tww!

No symptoms apart from being unfeasibly exhausted, but that's from coming down with a cold + hay fever I think.

How's everyone else doing?

Anyone testing soon? Could do with a new BFP in this thread!

Hi MrsMugoo - cd18 here, I've been temping for the first time but I think I'm a bit shit at it and not exactly sure what I should be watching for!

So I guess I'm about 4po or so, I think I was pretty on it with knowing when I ovulated this month.

Last month I was 'listening' to my body sorta ott-style so I'm just going to try and chill this time. We will be on holiday when af due, but annoying!

I'm a bit crap with temping too but I got a clear rise the day after my peak reading on the opk and its stayed high ever since. We timed DTD just perfectly so I'm happy with everything this month it's just so boring waiting.

I bought a tone of cheap opk (20 units) and since cd7 they have 2 lines (one is very faint ). Is this normal?

I had no idea rainbows are for ladies who had mc. I thought it's about the joy of having a baby.
Well then; I hope we all get our babies. Rainbow or not :)

Congrats on coil removal indominable. I wish I'd gone for the coil after my DD was born instead of the implant.. my cycles have been wacky since it got removed in March - one heavy (normal) period, one normal ish period that was lighter than the first, and last weeks very light (two days!) period, feels like my fertility is going backwards! went to see the doctor and she said it was quite usual for cycles to be a bit funny after having the implant removed... um not what I was told when I had it put in . I had the coil in before DD was born and conceived after two cycles so keeping my fingers crossed for you that it's quick!

sorry to hear the witch got you torfhinn, looks like it's o'clock for the both of us

Raeside and mrsmugoo keeping my fingers crossed for you the 2ww doesn't go too slowly!

I think I'm going to start temping this month too but I have no idea what I'm doing.. do you just use a normal digital thermometer? anyone have any words of advice?

Torfhinn

Raluca I've never used them but from what I've read - opks detect LH in your urine, which is always there, but it increases dramatically just before ovulation. So yes, it should always be two lines but it's only positive when test line is as dark as control.

Last day of AF me thinks. DP has brought up the TTC subject and said "we need to be at it morning, lunch and night" This is the first time he's mentioned TTC - before he used to say "relax and it will happen"

Aww bless your DP carotpuff! Mine has been fully onboard with all the the nuts and bolts of TTC since the start including asking me if the smiley face has gone solid yet and did I remember to take my temperature on and not fuck up the chart again haha!

I know the feeling carrot... after AF came last week my DP gave me the 'relax and it will happen' speech.. aaaargh
