Anyone ttc baby #2?

988 replies

jp0303 · 20/09/2015 18:18

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.

Yay! Congratulations fingerscrossedgirl, I'm thrilled for you! What lovely news!Smile Hopefully that's the first of many BFPs in this group. Keep in touch to let us all know how you're getting on, would be good to support each other through the journeys we are all embarking on and I'd love to hear how things go for you.

Hello lemonslemonslemons, sounds like we will be testing at around the same time if AF holds off, let's hope it's a lucky day for BFPs!!!

Hi!!

DH & I also trying for DC2 although he wants to be relaxed about it i don't and have gone and got OPK's and PTs today but will hide them!

AF is due on the 1st and although i have spent the last 2 days thinking i was pregnant i now don't think i am as took my temp this morn and was 35 something.

1st cycle since having DD so would be very lucky if i was!

Nice to meet you all!

fingerscrossedgirl · 22/09/2015 19:26

I'm rooting for you all! You know, I do NOT remember farting so much the first time round. The slow lapse of dignity begins (again)!

Loki17 · 22/09/2015 19:41

Congrats on your bfp, fingerscrossedgirl! I'm desperately hoping my cycles return to normal quickly. I convinced myself that the period from hell that I had just before the implant was removed signalled the return of my fertility as the implant had ran out. However, DH and I got jiggy last night and I'm spotting again today so I'm not sure my period will fall back into the 28 day cycle that I always had before. I'm driving myself crazy already. I'm hoping I get a positive opk on Saturday because that will mean I've ov'd as expected. I can wait for my period then ttc next month. Why can't I stop thinking about it?!

lottegraham · 22/09/2015 19:47

Hi me and my fiancé are about to start trying, i have just come off the pill and im very excited to start the adventure again :)
just asked my son if we should have a baby in the house and he said "yes, i hold his hand mummy" (hes only 2) so i think thats his approval hehe
roll on october when i can take a pregnancy test, i dont think i could last that long so going to stock up on pregnancy tests this weekend

Fingerscrossedgirl that is about the only thing I can remember! I couldn't stay in the same room as dh for more than 20 minutes, had to keep popping somewhere different to fart!!

Loki17 you sound as preoccupied as I was a couple of days ago, somehow I've calmed down a bit today and haven't been thinking about it quite as much (although still quite a lot!) hope all returns to normal quickly and you can crack on.

Lottegraham you're son sounds like the cutest big brother ever! How lovely.

Wow! Congratulations fingerscrossedgirl! First month ttc as well! So happy for you :-) I'm testing tomorrow Grin

mum19821985 · 23/09/2015 14:30

It's so lovely to chat to people in the same boat. Here's to BFP's all round! It's only my first month of ttc but you never know. Getting very preoccupied with whether I'm preg or not now lolConfused

Wishing you luck for tomorrow mum19821985, let us know how you get on.

I'm feeling hopeful today as had a bit of a dizzy spell at work, the only other time I've had that when sober was when pregnant with ds. Trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Loki17 · 23/09/2015 18:26

I'm driving myself crazy. Going by how my cycles were before the implant and the fact that I had a proper period that started 12 days ago, I should ovulate on Friday. I'm using opks in the hope that I can track. But, the spotting that started after dh and I fooled around has thrown me. I can't decide if I'm cd 12 or cd 2. its definitely not heavy like af but it is enough to wear a panty liner. I can't talk to anyone about it in rl because we need to keep it secret. I'm frustrated and sending myself loopy!

lemonslemonslemons · 23/09/2015 18:51

loki that sounds confusing Confused Were not telling announce about TTC either - it's tough!

fingerscrossedgirl · 23/09/2015 20:10

Thanks mum19821985 and good luck! Smile

mrsmugoo · 23/09/2015 20:43

TTC #2 here too and have been since March/April but this is my first cycle using progesterone pessaries because of luteal phase defect. I'm 4 days into my tww!

Hello mrsmugoo, glad to have you join us Smile hope the pessaries work out for you, did you use them first time around too or is this a new thing for you ttc #2?

mrsmugoo · 24/09/2015 07:36

Nope, baby #1 was a happy accident! A drunken wedding anniversary!

Loki17 · 24/09/2015 20:06

How is everyone today? Still no sign of ovulation, but I feel a bit calmer today. Not feeling the urge to scream 'I want another baby!!' at everyone who asks how I am!

mrsmugoo · 24/09/2015 20:14

Still plodding on through the boring old 2ww! 5 down, 9 to go!

Haha Loki17! I know the feeling!

I am swinging from feeling like I am pregnant and then deciding I am not. I am wishing the time away until the end of the ttw so I can test. Mum19821985, did you test today? Any joy?

What a difference Mrsmugoo. I'm glad you've got the pessaries to help out, hopefully they will make the difference for you.

Loki I am the same.

jp0303 I am the same.

Hah! I JUST WANT TO BE PREGNANT SO BADLY!

Ok, mustn't obsess.

JellyBaby26 · 25/09/2015 12:03

how early can you test with a first response? Hmm

Jw35 · 25/09/2015 13:53

Hi ladies just an update, got my bfp today at 12-14dpo!!! Smile good luck everyone x

mrsmugoo · 25/09/2015 14:01

Congrats Jw!

PommeBear · 25/09/2015 14:34

Fantastic JW, congratulations !!

fancyferret · 25/09/2015 16:07

Hello can I join the thread too please - seems lucky - Congrats JW. I have a 3.5yr old DS and have dithered for ages about whether we should try for a sibling for him. I had a slightly difficult birth and was a bit scared of getting pregnant again.

Now I feel ready to try again but am cross with myself for leaving it so long (can't win!!) I am 35 and in first cycle so not expecting too much but keeping fingers crossed and have ordered a job lot of tests as I know I will be testing willy nilly as very impatient....

Loki17 · 25/09/2015 16:53

Congratulations Jw! Fantastic news! Well I think af might be visiting. I'm not sure what is going on. My implant was due to expire on September. I had hardly any af whilst on the implant than two weeks ago I had my first proper af in three years. The implant was removed last Saturday as af finished. I should be ovulating today according to my pre - implant cycle dates but instead I think I'm getting af. I'd intended to wait for af due on the 10th oct then ttc but if this is it I'm not going to wait another month! I really hope it is af to be honest. Hurry up and get the witch over and done with!
