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.

Not Pregnant

So that's that, sorry for not supplying the "Ta Dah!" that would have been fantastic. I'm just surprised as well as disappointed because I really thought I was in spite of how unlikely it was. Presumably my 'symptoms' will settle down once I stop hunting for them. Maybe AF is still unpredictable due to breastfeeding and is just making a song and dance about coming back and that's why my hormones are all messed up and I just felt a bit sick for unrelated reasons.

At least I'm focused on getting fit for pregnancy now. My eating habits this week have been exemplary. If I can lose quite a bit of weight before I get my BFP then that will hopefully make pregnancy a bit easier and make HCPs more supportive of choices for birth.

If I'm still feeling pregnant after a while I will retest, but although my periods are unpredictable, I'm sure that the 'symptoms' I felt, if genuine, meant I would definitely be far enough along to test.

Thanks Peyia.how are you dear and the excitement ?im sure your hubby is over the moon!Third sowii!!! I know how disappointing a bfn is!!!i spent most of my day in bed now off to have myself a blast with my sisters.night night

Aw shucks Third, if only our bodies weren't so confusing Perhaps your body is reacting to the breast feeding like you say, those hormones can make everything out of whack. I hope that the sickness you've been experiencing passes soon, could be a winter bug. It sounds like your health kick is going positively for you, good luck with that and kudos to you for putting the effort in. Enjoy your weekend.

Mimi, I want to come on your night out I'm having a Chinese takeaway with dh after plans with a couple of friends have fallen through. Sure it'll be lovely, but I was looking forward to getting out for a gossip.

I wasn't sure about drinking whilst potentially ovulating though - what do you all do? Angelic abstinence or middle ground moderation? Or just caution to the wind hella drunk hoolahs?!

I've been enjoying a drink with AF but haven't had more than the odd glass when she's not around, if even that. That's been easy enough for these 3 months, however the festive season is creeping up and I might find it more tempting if I have no BFP. Any thoughts anyone?

Unlucky third , think it's probably down to the bf hormones ! It is really difficult not to symptom spot when TTC and I really do think ur body tricks u ! Good luck for next time unless wen u retest u might have a nice surprise ! xx

Jp- it's up to u what u want to do I don't think having a drink during ovulation would cause any harm to the traveling egg , I was really laid bk this cycle and had a few glasses more than once before dtd X
Don't think it will harm the baby until it has implanted altho drinking to excess probably isn't a good idea X
I think being relaxed plays a major factor tho because stress can put ur whole system out of whack ,
Think of all the pregnant women that conceived bladdered , our DD was on Valentine's Day and she's perfect lol smart little cookie too lol xxx

OOh Congratulations GX!! I'm a bit slow keeping up with the thread at the moment. How exciting - baby on board

Sorry about AF Mimi - hope you had a good evening and are feeling better. Fingers crossed for you for the next cycle.

I am with you third am trying to eat healthily in order to be in optimum health while TTC - having said this I am still drinking probably a little too much wine and not really doing any exercise...ahem. I do tend to have the odd small glass of wine in the 2ww but feel quite guilty so may knock this on the head.

Thanks fancy ferret hope to see more unravel on this thread good luck to u all xxx

Sorry Thirds, hope you are ok xx

Mimi sounds like you had a great night but sorry to hear you had been feeling low. This TTC malarkey is so hard on out emotions but glad to hear you're doing better where are you based mims?

Me? I'm doing ok. Nausea has eased but it comes in the night when I haven't eaten. Boobs are still sore. I fall asleep standing up!!

I don't know if this is a symptom but I'm a lot more straight talking and don't take no bs. I've had a few stern words with people (bitten their heads off!) which is not like me. I'm usually docile

I took my last test a couple of days ago and my line is as dark as the test line. Will probably stop now until booking in appointment.

Wishing everyone lots of baby dust xxx

Hey ladies how r we all this morning ?
Mimi glad u enjoyed your night out ! It's quite nice to take urself away from the TTC head frame sometimes I did when I got AF last cycle and it geared me up to restart lol X
I'm doing well thanks and OH is over the moon , think he's so used to dtd all the time lol he won't keep his hands off me ! Lol I know it's lovely but the bloated feeling makes me not wanting to be touched , been trying not to let the grumpy set in and let him for now haha xx
Peyia I have I test left probs do it tomorrow to check my line bcoz it was still faint on Friday , gona find it hard to stop after getting used to it over the last few months lol ( like morning protocol !

Ahhh the bloating! I have that big style! Its clearly water and not cake...

GX hope you enjoy getting spoilt by oh

I'm still feeling sick and exhausted and now bloated. Hopefully these symptoms will dissipate soon if its a bug/virus.

Yes, BFing might be interfering a bit, but I'm okay to wait with that. I suspect that my weight/hypothyroidism is having more of an impact on my cycles (as have found they regulate beter when I''m lighter before) so plan to lose weight first, then consider reducing feeds if DC1 hasn't by then.

Peyia u made me smile there. 'fall asleep standing ' lol i'd swap places with you any minute.lately having trouble sleeping.(always planning how best to get preggo) Sorry abt the bloating and nausea.u must have frequent meals in small quantity.hope u will soon feel better. Gx hey there give dh some love !!i can only imagine how u feeling but a little sacrifice gal,he is excited and im sure it's his way of showing it.kkk

When DH said I was more short with him (before BFN) and that it might be a symptom, I was clear with him that IMO hormones don't make me unreasonable, they just calibrate my bullshit detector more finely and make me less tolerant of his BS.

Anyway, he's looking after DS to let me have a nap, so better have a snooze.

Sorry Third about your symptoms,hope u feel better soon.could it be af trying to show.i sme times experience that before my period .how old is DC1?what diet are you on?im on the max planck diet.a little drastic but it gives good results.

Third you just made me laugh now.enjoy your nap.

Third hope ur feeling better after a nap X
Mimi I had a nap this afternoon with OH must have been feeling a bit moody earlier hopefully get some sexy time in before he leaves to work away again for the week !
Peyia - read u wer mibi going to start a separate thread from the July antenatal ? I'd come over with u the other one is super busy and I just feel bad I can't remember what to write to who ! Lol we heat to take over the women from this thread too when they get their BFP X I too like everyone on this thread xx

Heat?? lol supposed to b "have "

I blame fat fingers Gx. Are you on a phone? I sometimes read my post and think wtf?? I strangely understood what you meant

Yes I'm not sure what to call the thread but was thinking it would be cool to carry this thread over for us? The July thread is brilliant with lots of lovely ladies but I can't keep up!!! Feel bad not addressing everyone when talking but almost impossible xx

Ok girls I need your input because you'll be joining when you get your massive bfp's.

How about calling it Anyone preggers with #2?

Peyia - yes on my phone lol sounds good xx

Hi everyone, hope you've all had good weekends.

Glad you cheered yourself up with a good time Mimi, sounded like you needed it. I am a bit of everything this week, taking the middle ground today as had a glass of red wine with dinner and a lager in front of the tv this evening, hadn't had a drink all through the week, but had a fair few last Saturday out celebrating dh's birthday. I don't fit into just one of my categories! I am cd16 today. I am already hoping the next couple of weeks fly by so I know / can start again.

I think that's a good name Peyia, hopefully we can all join you there soon!

Morning ladies,hope you have an awesome day!!Enjoy your new cycles (those who just had af), give it your all(baby dancing), fingers crossed for those POASing,lots of hugs for those in the tww .to the bfp moms hope the little ones treat you kind and awful symptoms stay far away !

Morning all X
Jp- well done for relaxing and taking it easy ! Is that u in your TWW ? Hope u goes quickly and massive FX for u ! I'm hoping it's flies by too I want to know! Lol xx
Hey mimi how u feeling ? All fresh and ready to start again? Xx
Any ladies in TWW having symptoms ? I get so excited to hear about them and read all the TWW symptoms online before BFP !
Mine were minimal but the thing that stuck out for me was cramping 3,4,5,6 dpo Duno what was causing it bcoz it was too early for implantation , it was just out of the ordinary , oh and only one boob hurt X
Cm also changed but that was close to m BFP X
So excited to hear from u all and take u and ur BFP's to next thread ! Xx
