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.

Sorry to hear AF arrived hoggle , but on the bright side u can relax for a bit before u wana try again ! I would b reaching for the wine and chill time ! All the best for next month xx

Thank you all! Am ok thanks although woken up by hideous period pains at 1.30 then ds up for the day at 5.30...grrrr.

I agree OPKs is the way to go given the weird cycles.

Not sure whether next month will be our month...I may well be staying at my mum's when I'm ovulating (escaping bathroom refit) and as much as I'd like a baby, I'm drawing the line at quiet fumbles in my childhood bedroom

Will be interesting to see what the OPKs say about ovulation. I'm guessing I ovulated much later than I thought this month.

Definite tonight!

Congratulations Latium - lovely pink test too, looks pretty - mine are cheapo blue strips!!

Sorry Hoggle I am joining you with the wine as I have horrible back ache and PMT. AF due in a few days and I have even given up symptom spotting. When I was pregnant with DS I had no PMT symtoms whatsoever. It was absolutely brilliant not having miserable PMT or painful AF for a whole 9months!!

for you too ferret, though I hope you're wrong of course!

That's probably the right way to go about it ferret just chilling and not expecting anything , it's probably the stress that holds off a period for some , I'm still getting BFN 4/5 days late now !
Spoke to my doctor today and got given a test to try next Friday hopefully get a result one way or another , I love red wine so sure I will finally enjoy one if AF shows! Love to all enjoy ur Friday xxg

I'm out. The witch got me. Gutted :(

Oh no Loki hope r not too disappointed X I know it's hard hearing it but all the best for next month - try and enjoy ur weekend maybe u n hubby shud get a night out and treat urself (( hugs)) xxg

Thanks. I'll be ok. Going to try and relax next cycle. No opks, no early testing. Just going to dtd and avoid obsessing!

Bad luck Loki, glad you're feeling ok. So hard not to obsess on this but think it's a good attitude to take.

I'm torn between starting OPKs next month or just chilling out, opening legs and crossing fingers.

Really sorry Loki

I'm avoiding. I think that poas was what made me so obsessed this month. Looking back, I've been so grumpy and moody. First when I couldn't get a positive on an opk, then the 2ww, which is always frustrating and it dragged on and on. Ive never felt quite so down and ive let everything else slip. Im going to be better this month. I'm going to avoid obsessing and distract myself and staying away from tests of all kind. The month we conceived dd, DH and I laughed (and bd'd!) a lot and I felt relaxed and happy. That has to be right, surely? I've consoled myself with the realisation that if we were to fall next month, my edd would be at the very beginning of pils 2 week holiday - this would be a massive bonus! MIL can be a bit intrusive so knowing we might have a few days to ourselves is heavenly. If we don't and fall the month after, then I could put my first day of mat leave as my due date and get paid for the whole summer holidays (I'm a teacher) which would be amazing because I'd get time off before the baby arrived but wouldn't lose out financially. So, I'm focusing on the silver linings. Good luck to everyone testing. Wishing lots more bfps to all.

That's a great attitude , actually made me feel ok about AF if mine arrives ! your totally right the stress of waiting totally effects your mood everyday ! All the best to you in the coming months xxg

Morning ladies. Cycle day 22 for me (usual 26 day cycle) I've had some spotting this morning. I've now been googling implantation bleeding. I didn't have that with my last pregnancy. I think I'm getting my hopes up as I've got slight craps and feel like AF is on her way.

Hope AF holds off* for you becks*

congrats Latium!

Congratulations Latium.

Hoggle I have had odd blips where one cycle is much longer. When I used opks, I could see that I would sometimes gear up to ovulate and then not actually do so, which meant my body would go through the process again about a week later and I would ovulate then. However, it did mean I would have a longer cycle when that happened - and sometimes I think I wouldn't actually ovulate, so those cycles were a bit out as well. Good luck for next month.

Hello JellyBaby

Hello fuzzy!

ARE YOU OVULATING YET

Got a positive OPK this afternoon. DTD on Saturday, will tonight and hopefully tomorrow and Wednesday. I will join you on the AN thread!

Hopefully I'm not too late to join..

Already have DD aged 4, she was a very happy accident so this is our first time TTC. Just started yesterday morning, which was CD14, so guessing we are too late for this month! I am excited, nervous and broody. And worried about my age, I am nearly 38.

Hello and welcome Tattie. I am on CD18 and only got my positive OPK today, so I would DTD today and hopefully you haven't missed the egg. I am nearly 37 so understand what you mean about age. We will be ok though.

Thanks fuzzy that is reassuring!

Welcome tattie and good luck

Good luck hope u girls catch your eggs!

I am on cd 38 and still not sign of AF , I think it's mibi due to coming off the pill on 4/9 ! No idea if I have ovulated of if its been late ovulation bcoz Iv heard it can pop out at anytime within 3 months of stopping birth control ! I know now y they tell you to have a normal cycle first so u understand ur body more X I'm 24 had DD nearly 2 years ago so think I was hoping it wouldn't b too hard !
Hey ho I'm still in the waiting game for now and keen to see how all our ladies get on X
All the best girls! Xxg

Me again lol well after a long walk with the dog I came home to descover AF has arrived ! I'm actually pretty happy about it as I thought there was something wrong going on , going to look to next month and buy ovulation sticks so I have a better idea of when to take the pregnancy test ! This month has been really hard and I'd rather not repeat it , going to have a few glasses of wine tonight and relax! Hoping to have a summer baby to fx next month is the BFP !

All still be checking up on u guys! Good luck!! xxg

So despite having a positive OPK yesterday I still really thought I wouldn't ovulate until Wednesday or Thursday and didn't dtd last night in favour of tonight and tomorrow. However, my left side is now really hurting thanks to endometriosis ovulation pains. I have got a horrible feeling it will hurt too much tonight to dtd and then I will have missed this cycle all together. Then again, at least I know I am definitely ovulating again as I haven't been sure that I have done since giving birth.
