Anyone ttc baby #2?

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.

Hi Ladies,

We are ttc #2 this is our first cycle of properly trying. We had a mc at the beginning of the year, then I had an op a few months ago. im currently cd5, af just finished so now im not so patiently waiting to ovulate.

Congratulations on all of you who are pregnant, and good luck to all who are ttc :) x

Mimilicious013 · 22/11/2015 14:04

Congratulations MrsL !!! Test already Figgy,waiting !Hey Jp how have u been on this rollercoaster of ttc?dd had a bad night Gx she luckily is catching up on her sleep now.l on the other hand am so lost,i don't understand my body anymore.i have nausea and i hv cramps like af is imminent but the weird bit is i had a period just last friday (a little short though )could af be coming bk again?HELP am going bananas !

beckslovestimmy · 22/11/2015 14:38

Hi Jp I'm 9 weeks today. On meds for sickness as I was nearly admitted to hospital. They help a lot and I'm able to eat and drink abit. Other than that the only other symptom is sore boobs. I've had my first midwife appointment and scan is booked for 15th of December. Excited to see our little bean. Apparently today baby is the size of a grape!! Smile

fancyferret · 22/11/2015 15:05

Hello everyone Smile Wow MrsL2012 that's a great looking BFP well done!!! Hello to new posters - Is anyone else due to test soon? Fingers crossed for you on Thursday GinFuzz. I am early days of cycle 3 of TTC number 2. DS is 4 in May and has gone from wanting a sibling to being adamantly against the idea..

jp0303 · 22/11/2015 15:18

Aah Becks how exciting- a little grape! Sounds like it's been a rough ride with the sickness so far, glad the meds are working. How on earth have you managed feeling so poorly alongside looking after your dc1?! Nice to have your scan coming up before Christmas.

Mimi any chance it was implantation bleeding before and not AF? Was it spotting type bleeding or heavier?

My tww has been non eventful in terms of symptom spotting. I've been hungry and eating lots, but I'm putting that down to it having got so cold, and other than that, no symptoms. I have had a nap today while ds napped, which I rarely ever do, but that's because I'm tired from going out last night and having a really late night rather than early pregnancy exhaustion.

Yeah I think you should test too Figgy, but then you know me for loving all the POAS action Grin

Welcome Kellz, hope the board is lucky for you (we're a lucky one dontcha know!)

Baby dust all round!

Oh dear Ferret, why the change of heart for ds do you think?

Mimilicious013 · 22/11/2015 15:54

Welcome Kellz ,hie there Fancy. Aaah Jp ,that thought crossed my mind because i really feel pregnant but just poas and bfn so no explanations for why i am like this on cd10.Lucky you have had an easier tww,the symptom spotting drives one insane .what cd are u on now and when is your bfp due?

fancyferret · 22/11/2015 16:30

Not sure JP he wanted to have a baby brother or sister a while back as he said the baby could have his room and he could move in with us!! I think he has changed his mind as not impressed at the thought of sharing toys fickle so and so! Any news Figgy? -my ears pricked up at the possibility of another potential BFP. cd10 is early Mimi so try not to be too disheartened by a negative test at this stage especially as you have symptoms.

Mimilicious013 · 22/11/2015 16:54

Don't worry Fancy ,he will come around when the new baby is born.just make sure you make him feel important(helping around ) being big bro.
I googled and found out that my symptoms could be down to ovulation.anyone feel pains while ovulating.unfortunately im not using opks so can't be certain.

beckslovestimmy · 22/11/2015 18:04

Jp I feel like I've not been the best mum to DD in the last few weeks. She's watched a lot more TV than I'd normally allow. I've been rubbish at work too. I hoping it'll start to improve around 12 weeks

MrsL2012 · 22/11/2015 19:14

Mimi still early days and you have symptoms so fingers still crossed for you! Figgy any news yet? Becks hope your sickness goes soon and look forward to seeing your little grape!
I don't have any symptoms yet excel for needing to wee lots! Hope the sickness doesn't start any time soon....xx

Gx91 · 22/11/2015 19:47

Nice to see u on here too Loki it's very hard keeping up on July thread after a busy day !! X

jp0303 · 22/11/2015 19:51

I love your question Mimi, when is my bfp due, I always think about when AF is due - maybe that's what I should do, be more positive to get a positive! So, my BFP is due on Sunday (I'm on cd22)! However, if AF arrives instead, I'm considering having a month off ttc over December to accommodate lots of excessive festive fun nights out without any nagging worries about drinking too much or eating the wrong things. Dh may not be happy about that though so I'll think about it a bit more to make my mind up either way before I talk about it with him. Then I would be reinvigorated in the New Year and think I would start using the OPKs to try and help things along.

I never notice any pain when I'm ovulating. I did for a couple of months after giving birth but nothing since. My main indication is getting v enthusiastic to dtd! Nature's way of helping it all along I guess. Maybe it is ovulation then Mims.

You'll have lots of time to get ds back on board Ferret, things like getting him a little something from the bump for his special occasions while you're pregnant should help! That's so cute that he wanted to move in with you! Aren't kids lovely.

Be kind to yourself Becks, I'm sure ds has loved the extra tv time. In the scheme of things it's a very short time and you need to look after yourself so much right now. The benefits of her having a younger sibling in terms of her life lessons and development in her childhood will far outweigh a few months of extra Peppa Pig or whatever she is in to.

3 days late tested this afternoon got a bfn and now AF is starting im more annoyed at wasting £4 on a bloody test. Was just about to get hopeful. Oh well on to month 11.

Kellz92 · 22/11/2015 20:49

Thank you for the welcomes, im hoping you are a lucky group! I need some luck :)
