Anyone ttc baby #2?

[jp0303]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, ttc baby #2 (1st cycle) and already driving myself wild with the tww. I wondered if anyone else is in the same boat?

I was so relaxed about baby #1 that the constant nagging thoughts about am I / aren't I are completely new to me and are making me feel anxious with symptom spotting.

Thought I'd see if there is anyone to talk to on here as my husband is quite matter of fact about there being nothing we can do to find out except for being patient - I know, he's infuriating right.

It'd be great to buddy up if anyone else is in a similar position.

It's only my second month of trying and was obsessed last month although didn't use ovulation sticks ! Going to have fun this month but also use the sticks to pin point the "when to get really busy days" lol
Hopefully doesn't feel as long a month this time round !
I'm a total control freak and like to plan ahead so this baby making business really is hard lol X
Hang in their Loki ! Hopefully time passes quickly for u and u will soon b testing for ur BFP X
Good luck to everyone for this month !! Love to see another one getting their BFP and starting their baby journey Xxg

Good luck for tomorrow becks ! Fingers and toes crossed for you ! xx

I'm a control freak too. But this could be a long wait so I'm doing my best to stay calm. Actually, I'm doing much better this month. CD7. It's time to start trying and I'm going to stay relaxed. Thankfully, I have a weeks holiday coming up now so plenty of opportunities for bding!

This forum is such a wonderful place too. I can unleash my crazy on here

Becks good luck!!

Here's to a relaxing October of baby making girls. Although I do agree with you gx91 it's good to try and pinpoint the right days....

Loki I think I'm in denial about my controlling ways. Not sure if I posted on this thread about timing sex to try and sway gender

CD4, things are clearing up!! Getting excited..,,

Well I think this is a positive!!!!!!

Omg congradulations becks ! That sure looks like a BFP to me ! So excited for u ! xx

Eeeeekkkkkkkkk baby on board! Congrats Becks

What's the rules for gender sway ? I have a DD (age 2 ) and would love a boy , but not really that fussed if I have another girl would be nice to have one of each tho ! Xx

Thankyou ladies!!

With regards to gender and timing I believe boy sperm swim fast but die quick and girl sperm swim slow but live longer??

It's also said that an acidic environment favours girls and an alkaline favours boys. I think there is some truth in this as I was told I had acidic cervical mucous that was killing all my husbands sperm (this was during fertility investigations- results of a post coital test) I was advised to try a dilute solution of bicarbonate of soda (alkaline) squirted up just before DTD. The month we did that I got my BFP and went on to have DD without having to have fertility treatment. If you want a girl I think they recommend dilute lemon juice or vinegar!!!

I think you can also eat an acid or alkaline diet (I think I read this in a fertility book)

Maybe worth a bit of investigation!!?

Thanks becks sounds like there is a lot of logic in that ! I thought it was an old wives tale! Thanks il get doing my homework on that then lol will keep me busy ! May be b popping off to the shops to get bicarbonate of soda lol xx

Congrats becks!

This thread is on fire, BFP-wise!

Arrrgggghhhh wrote an entire novel and it didn't post!!

So in short, thanks Becks! Do you know when would be a good time to have sex. Shall we hold off until we get a static on CB?

Also, Gx91 we are twins. Same cycle day, both have girls, want boys!! I'll be stalking you!!!

Xxx

Hahaha that's crazy imagine we both got out BFP same day ! Lol positive vibes !! so excited !
Becks has given the whole team hope ! Xx

Yay, congrats Becks. That's a BFP sure enough.

Hooray!! More BFPs Well done!!!

How u getting on Latium ? How r u coping with early pregnancy ? Do I have bad morning sickness ? Xx

Becks that's fantastic! Lucky thread strikes again! Great news

The gender away info is so interesting. I think I've missed the chance to purposefully exert any influence this month, but if I end up trying again next month then might give it a go.

How are all of you with BFPs feeling? How different is it second time around? Hope you're managing to slog through the tiredness and early symptoms.

Thanks Jp only symptom here is slightly sore boobs. Last time I didn't have any symptoms until about 5 weeks when I was sick and continued to feel or be sick until about week 22. Really hoping I don't have that this time.

I don't think it's really sunk in yet. It still feels really really early days.

Really hoping for more BFP's very soon!!

Congratulations, Becks!

I am feeling relieved this evening as AF has arrived - it is normally completely regular but this month decided to be 5 days late! Despite having PMT symptoms I did convince myself I could be pregnant and have been POAS every day. At least now I know where I stand and can start afresh with a brand new cycle. So onwards and upwards cycle 2...

This month I promise no early testing, symptom spotting or loss of sanity cough cough

Jp- ur right about a lucky thread lol I am part of another an not had a BFP yet ! I'm hoping it runs off on all of us ! xx
Becks hope this pregnancy is easier , I'm a little bit scared of struggling with a 2 year old whilst pregnant with a second bcoz first time round I couldn't keep myself awake during the day ! Xx
Fancyferret- glad ur happy with AF arriving ( I was the same ) it's not easy having a late period with bfn ! Think we are all the sm analysing everything and not being in the know X good luck to you for next month ! I spent a fortune on early testing and won't b doing it this month either ,Iv got everything down on the calendar to help me restrain lol X until then I pledge to enjoy myself !! xxg

Congrats becx very exciting. I got a positive opk today and have been every other day bd but oh has gone out tonight but will make up for it tomorrow morning

Hey girls how we all doing ? Not heard a peep for a while !
Any BFP or positive OPKs ?
I'm waiting a few days before i use OPK s , thinking I may ovulate late this month be coz last cycle was long X
Trying nt to stress tho last month was terrible xxg
