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.

Af started this pm, boo! I'm out for this month then. Oh well, get back on the waggon in a few days for cycle 2!

Good luck for next month owl

Thanks

Oh, sorry to hear that OwlinaTree, fingers crossed for next time

Thanks for the welcome, I remember how nice mn's were last time!
I think if af isn't here by 18th then I'm due to poas. If it is then at least I can track my cycle better next month!

Sorry to hear AF arrived owlina hope u get lucky next cycle it's crap having to wait for AF to b good n done before getting the ball rolling again ! Xx
Peyia - how u getting on on the pregnant thread ? Xx
Iv had one really sore boob today and swear I cud feel pinching in my tummy ( symptom spotting ... When I said I wouldn't this time ) lol really hoping I get a line in the next few days !

I've been feeling a bit self-conscious the last couple of days about what DH has named Schroedinger's bump.

I was recalling a conversation with a women at the bus stop earlier this week and realised she used the phrase "in your condition" the phrase had sat oddly at the time, but she went on to talk about her own health wrt being overweight, so I assumed she was talking about my weight, it didnt occur to me she might have thought me pregnant. But the conversation did involve her talking about her struggle to conceive, but I thought she was thinking about it because her partner was chatting away to my DC1

When I saw my mum last weekend she was making pointed comments about getting my DC1 used to spending time with other people (her?) "at the very least he'll need to be with someone when you go into labour with the second one". (She has said this kind of thing before, though not recently).

And the last time I saw my older sister (the weekend before) she was talking about her expectations during her second pregnancy. I thought it was a bit odd at the time and wondered if she was pregnant with a third, but didn't say anything.

AIBU to wonder if I look so pregnant that other people know I'm pregnant before I do? Or am I just paying attention to these little comments because I might be and never would have noticed them before and it is just coincidence?

Perhaps because I'm (very) overweight anyway, I don't spend lots of time looking in the mirror, and when I glance I'm usually standing in front of it looking straight on. So after I was thinking about the conversations above, I had a good look at "is it/isn't it bump" in the mirror, and I do have a firmer sort of curve above my more squidgey belly fat. I could look 4 months pregnant, or not be at all. I don't know!

Tell you something, if I'm not pregnant, I've got a lot of motivation to lose weight now! If I am, then I'm maybe showing early because of it being my second (stretchy) pregnancy with unfit muscles or maybe I'm further along than the 4-6 weeks I suspect based on symptoms and when we had been TTC. But DH reckons I could be as much as 8 weeks or not at all.

He reckons I've been short with him, which could either be AF or pregnancy related so isn't helpful.

Third thoughts - they do say pregnant women have a certain glow about them ! X
But yeh u might also be tuning into what ppl are saying when it anything bby related ( becoz that's all we can think about lol)
There no harm in testing tho to see if they are right xx

Third thoughts test test test .i have an aunt who always knows before anyone tests and gets a bfp especially the elderly people seem to either sense or see.Iike Gx said maybe you are glowing.l too am a bit over weight and am currently on a diet,hoping it won't harm baby if i get a bfp next week but i needed to do this now because once i get pregnant no telling if the my weight will be worse or better.

Just been to the loo and noticed some brownish stuff.could af be coming on early.im only cd24 and due testing on the 20th.omg!think i might be out this month mmmmm

We started TTC properly for #2 last night (been careless over last few months, but have never coincided with my ovulation days). Definitely think I'll be more neurotic this time round. Especially as I've heard so many people say that the first was easy but the end took ages...

GX91 that's a positive in my view!

Getting test tomorrow! So either Fri (if we can't wait) or Sat morning. :)

I'm eating very healthily for me (mainly trying to make sure I eat plenty of fruit, nuts and veg and cut out the sugary crap and keep to sensible portions). But also making sure I am having enough calories not to be depriving me/DC1/possible baby. And I'll carry on eating like this if I'm not pregnant because it would be good to get healthy and fit for pregnancy (and LIFE!) If I am pregnant then sickness is likely to kick in properly at some point, so I'll do what I can. (Last time sickness continued to 20 weeks and I lost weight till around then, slowly put on to the end of pregnancy and then was lower than booking in weight a week after birth).

Lost 3lbs this week :) I think trying to get more healthy whilst TTC is good (it was what I planned to do, didn't expect to think I might be pregnant first cycle) as long as your diet is with your health in mind - so looking after yourself and having a decent diet - rather than anything too extreme/faddy.

I aim to eat around 1800-2000 calories. Which is not necessarily a 'diet' level for slimmer women, but because I am much heavier maintenance would be higher so I do lose. Plus still BFing, and its important to me that my body feels it has the resources to be doing both that and getting/being pregnant without stress.

Mimi, I had spotting a couple of days last week. I also had this when pregnant with DC1 so don't rule yourself out unless AF comes in proper.

Good luck!

Thanks Third.ever since i stopped bf dd at 12 months i just started gaining weight and she is 23 months now.i had a terrible pregnancy coz i threw up until the day of delivery.it helped me on the weight though because i never gained as much as i could have.hoping i still have a chance this month.and waiting on your bfp tomorrow

Mimi - hope it's implantation ? And not AF let us know what the outcome is x
Bf is amazing ! I lost my pregnancy weight with DD very quickly but then also put bk on a bit in the last 2 years ! Also bn doing workout DVDs and change in diet habits while TTC and cutting out alcohol also helped loose 8 pounds in 1 month !!
Shame it will b for nothing coz if I'm prego il get bigger again haha X
Third thoughts - def sounds like u had implantation bleeding hope u get ur BFP very soon ( tomorrow if u test!), I haven't noticed any diff coloured discharge and have bn checking ( TMI)
I didn't get Implantation bleeding with DD either X
Seriosstuff- thanks I'm hoping so ! Lol good lick for this month ! Think it's just ur Donald Duck , u can do everything right and not get pregnant or no really b trying a fall pregnant lol hope u get there sooner than later bcoz it can get pretty strenuous ! Are u using anything to determine ovulation? Xx
