Anyone ttc baby #2 continued?

[FuzzyOwl]

New thread, just in time for all our 2016 BFPs!

Oh Song . Even though I know better, I always test as well. Hopefully it is just too early for you but if not, fingers crossed you get there next cycle.

Hi, i'm new. We have been TTC number 2 since January 2015. After a rough year we are still trying and it just seems to get so much worse each time AF comes to visit. One of my close friends fell pregnant straight away and had her beautiful son in August but today I found out another friend is also pregnant. I am really happy for her but, bugger me, it hurts. I'm really struggling and thought i'd look for a bit of support from people who are going through similar.
I guess i'm being utterly selfish but i'm gutted. What a cow I am...

super it's not selfish at all. We've only been trying for 1 cycle (wanted to ttc since last July but long story) and every announcement hurts so I can't imagine how you just be feeling. Fingers crossed it shouldn't be much longer for you x

Super you're not being selfish, I keep seeing girls I know get pregnant and have babies, as much as I'm happy for them I'm still annoyed it's not me! Xx

Tough isn't it Super? I'm pretty laid back about it at the moment, but each announcement or new baby that comes along makes me think 'shit that should be me'.

I'm so grateful to have my DD though, when I wasn't even sure I'd be able to have a healthy pregnancy at all (T1 diabetic) - it helps me keep things in perspective I guess.

I think you are allowed to feel a bit gutted when you want something so desperately. After going through a mc I have found seeing pregnant bumps a bit heart wrenching, even though I'm pleased for those who are pregnant and wouldn't wish mc on my worst enemy. I'm getting the post ovulation achy boobs. Quite a normal symptom for me so I'm not reading anything in to it. Had a lovely day out with hubby and dd in London today so counting my blessings.

Not selfish at all super. I think we all feel like that sometimes. I am a bit fed up of baby scan pictures on fb. I personally wouldn't do that anyway but it also makes me think if I feel like this and I have my lovely dd, how must their friends that can't have kids / have lost kids / haven't met the right person feel. Anyway, just my personal gripe but this whole TTC thing takes over your soul doesn't it. Although this is only cycle 1 for us, I've been desperate to start trying for 12 months but lots of good reasons have prevented that. I promised myself I wouldn't turn obsessive this time but I think I have already!!!!

Sleep well all x

So, a 3rd person in my office has announced she's pegnant - that's 3 out of 7 females of child bearing age pregnant in my department; 18, 17 & 13 weeks consecutively!! Really happy for them, but seriously, bumps everywhere and bump envy is seriously crushing me.

I'm now 5dpo and couldn't help but test due to symptoms - nausea, sore boobs, peeing loads and back ache - but bfn for now. Feeling really low and isolated but mean for feeling this way. According to Ovia we did everything right and AF is due 23rd so realistically didn't expect anything but bfn - I'm always praying for the miracle though. Maybe test with frer on Friday.

MIL is now out of hospital having had a intra-cranial heamatoma rather than a "stroke". Still got to take it easy, actually has cluster of tiny tumours, so needs them kept an eye on.

I'm sorry that i can't list you all by name but mimi i hope your SIL is ok?

Pulled, that sounds really positive (although i didn't know bump started as a yolk!!)

For everyone who is struggling my heart goes out to you and i hope that this month is kind to you. Someone said about testing on 8th March...my birthday and 8 is my lucky number; still happy to share!!

Welcome to all the newbies, may your journey get smoother.

Happy hump day everyone.xx

Thanks everyone. I know i'm luckier than some and I truly am grateful for my DD. I suppose in a way it makes me feel like even more of a bad person for complaining. I guess I just took it harder than I thought I would. I'm having a mope tonight and hopefully get it out of my system to be able to get back to myself tomorrow. I might try sitting in her chair ☺

Thinking of bfp's for us all soon enough xx

Song when I got pregnant with DD I put my scan pics on Fb, but I didn't really think of how difficult it was at the time as DD was a surprise. I dint post much though, just the odd scan I have people who mention they're pregnant daily....

Fx for you Jennie

Xxx

Lost my post when I hit the wrong button. Just wishing everyone a good morning and a pleasant day!!

Jen that's good news about ur mil hope she continues to get better X
Will remember 8 th match to wish u a happy birthday ! I'm the 15 th March lol X
Songs good luck in ur first cycle of trying , think it's impossible not to become obsessive ( I still miss POAS , became my life for a while )
Fiddles , I didn t know u had type 1 diabetes , my big sister was diagnosed last year and is gutted as she thinks they won't allow her to get pregnant , think she's found it hard coming to terms with . Sorry me asking but was it as hard as u imagined and is insulin etc easy enough to monitor and control ( would love to share ur success story with her and give her some hope !) X
Mimi how r u ? What stage in the cycle r u at ? How u been feeling ? X
Kellz hope ur doing well and good luck with getting some sex into ur schedule lol X

Loki glad and DH have bn enjoying urselves , that's the main thing I suppose always good having fun at the same time ! I read that it's quite normal to bleed during ovulation sometimes so hope fully that's all u wer experiencing the other day ! All the best for the TWW xx

jennie - we are twins. 8th March is my birthday too. Not really looking forward to it as AF will arrive just before and then I'll be down all day. I thought about taking leave from work and doing something nice but work will probably take my mind off things so I'm going to miserable at work instead! Good luck this month.

I agree with everyone who says its such a mixed emotion when you find out someone else is pregnant. Pleased for them and jealous at the same time.

kellz, cockles, mimi hope DTD is going OK. I'm not doing OPKs or any kind of testing this month which I'm slightly regretting but think I OV today. I've defiantly descended into madness and occasionally say some encouraging and motivational words to DPs sperm. You never know, if they hear me they might put more effort into their swimming!

Mimi how are you doing lovely? How is your SIL?

Gx Dd is going to grandmas straight after childminder so have some alone time for a change tonight haha

theAnts I have everything crossed for getting a birthday BFP! Im not using cheapies this cycle, just my monitor just because ive spent so much on it haha

xxx

That gave me a nice laugh theants. Will encourage dh sperm too if I ever get lucky with dtd.sil situation is stressing dh and is not doing his job haha

Hie gx how are u my dear?hope u well and Dd is too.have u started shopping yet?

His kellz am better now dear thanks.hope u have a lovely alone time tonight (am jealous). This might just be the day!!!

Mimi tell him you can relieve his stress ;)
its very rarely we get alone time! Still Low on monitor, i looked back to last cycle and my peaks were 15/16, all the cycles before were 14/15 so hopefully ov aver the weekend. Trying preseed tonight, a bit wary!!

Are you still taking your aspirin?

xx

I am going to try all tricks tonight hun.you are right it shld relieve his stress.I'm still taking the asprin what about you?
If ov during the weekend best get be haha.good luck with the pressed. Let me know how it goes. Will give it a go next cycle(hoping not)

Fx for you!! Yes im still taking the aspirin, really hoping it helps! not very hopeful!!

We will be, been bd eod so far and will hopefully dtd tonight, tomorrow, saturday and sunday, and monday if i have too haha!! Normally i do it on peak days and the odd day before so hoping it helps!
I will do, hoping you wont need to buy it! and hoping i wont need to buy more. Hopefully we both get bfps on the 5th if not before!!

xx

Gx- one of my good friends had type 1 diabetes. She has a 23 month old. She got pregnant reasonably easily but found pregnancy and birth v tough as she was high risk. However, it can be done and her dd is a treasure. She is from a medical background and was v pushy for top notch specialist care which I think made a difference. She would do it all again in a heartbeat. Tell your sister that there is hope! X

Hello may i join in? Currently mum to 5 month old little boy, he's my 4th pregnancy but only one that made it to full term - myself and husband waited 3 years to get us here! I'm 26 and due to return to work in two months time. We've been ttc since he was a month old but i am ebf....anyone else in the same boat? We conceived my son through clear blue ovulation digi kit and cervical temp charting I'm hoping we can fall pregnant and carry to full term without the stress and worry! Lovely to meet you all x

Urgh, curse my impatience!! Bought a digital clearblue frer but still negative...poas at work is great fun...not; I'm sure people probably though i was having a poo as i was gone so long

Anyway, another bfn, but if AF isn't due til 23rd and frer only 65% success on positive 4 days before - 1) I'm a day early and 2) there's still a shot that my hcg levels just aren't quite high enough yet, right? With my sore boobs, peeing increase and nausea i figured my hcg levels would be high enough if symptoms were pg related though. Oh, who am i kidding? 2 bfn really should stop me from hoping but i always pray for the romantic endings.

Real life sucks ass sometimes!! I'm already obsessed, work sucks and i have no idea how to chill out and go with flow for a natural pregnancy!!

Anyway, that's my little rant over with. It's Friday tomorrow, anyone got nice plans for the weekend?

Theants - 8th March is an awesome day for us girls - international womens day too!!

Hi joining in ladies. Been tcc #2since last May turning 40 in a couple of months so time is ticking.had a 21 day test just before Christmas which came back negative then had a clamidiya test (came back ok but bit embarrassing asking for those test results) hubby just got to do his stuff in a plastic pot then being referred to the clinic. Sister in law pregnant at mo after years of infertility, weirdly taken the pressure off though as son will no longer be the only child in the family.

Af showed up today so had my monthly good cry but up and onwards eh?

Maybe too early Jennie. Too much googling and not enough working today helped me find this:

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=14

It's a chart that states % chance of all results on pg test at each dpo. All negatives recorded are false negatives. I'm 3 days late now and still no af but can't face testing again so I was looking for some hope!! Hope this can give you some hope too xx

Hi all, happy Friday! Jennie sorry for the BFN. Thanks for that chart Songs, nice to hold onto some hope when we get early BFNs. Welcome Bored. [waves] to everyone else Gx Mimi Kellz Pulled Loki and everyone else I haven't mentioned.
CD14 today, woo hoo! Been DTD and I guess we need to continue for a bit longer. I think positive OPK yesterday but will check again today to make sure it's not getting stronger. I'm using internet cheapies.
I'm at work all weekend, lucky me! Have a good one everyone else x

Hey all and welcome newbies ! Great to have u on board everyone's stories are always so different , look forward to getting to know u and hopefully see some more BFP on this thread ! X
Thanks songs- I think it's the worry not carrying the pregnancy til full term that scares her Iv passed on the positive stories tho to try to help her she would b a great mum X
Hope ur all doing well any one testing soon ? X
The ants - got a giggle at ur talking to DH sperm lol the image of face to balls ! Lol hope it works I agree everythings worth a bash in the TTC world ! X
My OH gets bk from working away today , looking forward to having him home for the wkend X
