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.

Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing well. Seems there are a few of you coming up to test so I am keeping my fingers crossed for you all. I am out for this month as AF showed up a week early Sad I can't even be bothered to think it could be an implantation bleed as have all other usual PMS symptoms.

Its so typical that my periods have always been so regular until I started TTC now they are late or early and having a little bit midcycle spotting as well. I am trying to ignore it at present but think I may have to book GP appointment if it doesn't settle over the next few months. On a brighter note at least I can console myself with some festive Baileys.. sigh.

hi guys. I'm new here, TTC no.2, 12 months after DS1 made an appearance.

I'm afraid this thread is way too long for my short attention span to read through. I hope to get to know you all.

I found the Dec 2014 ante-natal thread the best so hope that I can contribute and enjoy the journey with you guys.

Here is hoping for a BFP in Jan (and consolation Christmas drinking for the first time in two years).

fancyferret · 05/12/2015 20:53

Hello! welcome to the board. I will join you with a consolation drink then focus on getting a BFP in Jan too Grin

HoggleHoggle · 05/12/2015 21:03

Sorry to hear that fancy, I know how you feel, my AF went haywire as soon as we ttc. We've been dtd pretty much all month because there's no way of knowing when I might ovulate. Quite exhausting when you already have a dc, it's not been as carefree this time round! Hope you get your bfp in the new year.

Hello running!

And hello mimi, g, kellz and everyone else.

Kellz92 · 06/12/2015 00:42

Hi everyone!

Gx i hope youre well, feeling better?

Mimi i love spending time with mum, had a lunch with her my nanny, nannys sisters and my cousin today. They all had a lot to drink but i only had a few as still getting slight cramps. For once i have all my xmas shopping bought and wrapped.

Hope youve all had a good day! Xx

Mimilicious013 · 06/12/2015 05:55

Sorry for af fancy ,its so disheartening !ttc seems to change cycles and last month had af show on cd25.(cheers) to your consolation drink !
Welcome running hope u have a short stay ttc.
Hey hoggle ,did the spotting stop yet.fx it was implantation and u get your bfp soon.

Mimilicious013 · 06/12/2015 06:08

Morning kellz ,u sure had a fabulous time yesterday.hope u slept well.how many dpo are u and when do u wish to start poasing ?is the cramping any better ?
The last two nights have been bad for me.i have been in so much pain( terrible aches and cramps ) and i visit the loo thinking it's af but nothing yet.hoping to start testing wednesday if af doesn't show already.

Mimilicious013 · 06/12/2015 06:18

Hello gx hope u slept well and dd is fine.am feeling so hungry and woke up early to think of what to eat kkk.are u still able to eat what u like or pregnancy is kicking in?google makes life so much easier for us.im so with u when u say u r always googling (week by week how baby is growing kkk).enjoy your sunday !

HoggleHoggle · 06/12/2015 06:49

Hi mimi I'm getting a tiny bit of brownish discharge now. Not sure what to think, I would usually get that before AF but the pink stuff before was unusual. I'll test on Tuesday, CD28, I don't think there's much point testing earlier.

Went out for a meal last night at a steak and seafood restaurant, not the most ideal place if you think you might be pg. Asked for my steak to be well done, really annoying if It turns out could have eaten it more rare! I also didn't drink just to be on the safe side. I would normally say well at least I saved money, but the bill was equally split and everyone else was drinking lots Angry

Good luck for you testing this week!

Mimilicious013 · 06/12/2015 07:14

Thanks hoogle ,u sure had a nice time yesterday.sorry for not having the drink kkk.was so stuck at home and i think today too.here's hoping your spotting is lB.good luck and enjoy your sunday

Kellz92 · 06/12/2015 20:07

Hi gx hope you're feeling better.

I hope its a good sign, this weekend ive started getting hot flushes, i never get these. And im feeling a bit snuffly, so hope everything is not me just getting a cold. I have spoken to people who get these before their bfp but i really dont want to start googling my symptoms as ill drive myself mad before i test as i have until the 15/16 december lol. Xx

Mimilicious013 · 07/12/2015 05:57

HoggleHoggle · 07/12/2015 13:58

Sorry mimi, hopefully it's just too early to test. Fingers crossed for you

Shortybabe · 07/12/2015 15:10

Hi everyone.
Hope I can join in? I'm also ttc#2. Stopped pill early Sep and have waited until now for cycle to calm down. Doing Smep and opks. CD 12/13 now. Unsure if cd 1 is light af or full flow. Started opk Thursday and had empty circle, then had flashing smiley since Friday. I'm so impatient and a self admitted control freak.
Hope everyone is well and theres bfp all round. X

HoggleHoggle · 07/12/2015 18:07

Hi shorty!
