(Still) ttc#2 continued

[Loki17]

New shiny thread everyone!

kellz I know. I just want to enjoy my little 'maybe' bubble for a bit longer!

MrsNucky thats what i like doing :) Fx you get your BFP though!! x

Well, the bubble has popped. Just did the test and BFN. I could weep, I really could. I actually felt quite positive this month and felt that this could have been it, finally! It's a year this month since we started TTC number two... I just want to curl up in a ball and not come out.

A www no Hun. I'm on month 11 so know how you feel. Hugs, maybe still early. If AF hasn't shown your not out xxx

Hi all,

It's been a while...as most of you know my mother-in-law had been quite ill in the last couple of months and I'm devastated to say the we lost her on the 7th May. I'm really struggling as i was adamant that she would be fine and I'm now trying to support DD, DH and f-i-l. DH and i dtd on the night we lost her, life-affirming i think, and it happened to be at just the right time so now we're facing poas and funeral within days of each other.

I hope everything is going well for all of you...Mimi, I'm so sorry that af got you again. I have to say, I'm not sure i can do this for much longer. I may give up if i don't catch soon. It will be a lovely/devastating poas at the end of this week depending on the result. Fingers crossed that babydust is present...

Xx

Sorry for your family's loss jennie but as a little ray of light I hope that its also your month too
So my temp went back up today but as a twist AF showed up this afternoon. I was also enjoying my maybe bubble.
Think I'll go back to lurking for a bit, since that is us out now for good few months till my body decides to ovulate again. Or not.
Love to all xx

Hello ladies. I've been a long time lurker on all of these ttc#2 boards. I wanted to write in and give you all some hope.

Jennie - I am really sorry for your loss. We are in exactly the same situation- my lovely mil sadly lost her battle with cancer at the start of the year. We are and were heartbroken and it has been an incredibly difficult few months. Far more so than we have really let on to anyone.

We've been TTC as we desperately wanted another child to give us a positive focus and it was really starting to get me down when it was taking seemingly forever, although in TTC terms, not that long. I felt that we just may never have another child. Anyway, this month, I decided to chill out with it all a bit and enjoy my wonderful DD. But also eat healthier and take plenty of vitamins. I tested a few days ago when AF was due but had a string of bfns. Tested today and finally got my bfp! IT. WILL. HAPPEN! If it can happen for us after the stressful year we've had, it can happen for anyone. Best of luck ladies. Fingers crossed for a really sticky little bean xxx

My deepest condolences for your loss Jenni, hope you at least get good news with a bfp soon.

Congratulations songs 🎊 wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy dear.

Sending you hugs mrsn. It is so devastating but like songs says, it will happen so chin up hun and best of luck next cycle.

Ohh kellz, am just keeping my 👀 open for your bfp. It would make me soo happy that at least my buddy got lucky.

Hie gx and peyia. You are nearing the finish line ,how exciting. What are you up to now in prep for the big day((juicy gossip please))

Waves pulled and cockles. And you are well and little babies are treating you kind.

Thinking of u hoggle and loki

Not much to report here just looking very big , a bit fed up and tired coz it's hard to sleep lol the usual final run symtoms X Iv decided to go for the planned c section as it fits in better with OH working away and should get the date for delivery at my next appointment which is quite exciting X

Jennie I'm so sorry for your loss

Thanks Mimi I'm hoping so, been getting cramping, temps rose last few days so dunno if I've ovulated as I'm not using opks. I'm still getting loads of ewcm but have been since AF. Thank you, we have been through a lot. Hoping this is your month too.

Gx im due AF around the 28th

Xx

Hi all

Sorry for absence. I went back to work last week so it was all a bit hectic and there wasn't really much to report. This week I have had brown spotting for the past three days, sometimes pinkish discharge on wiping. I'm CD17. Weird. Was hoping it might be related to Ov but not counting my chickens. Also a close friend told me she is pregnant today ahead of us all getting together at the weekend with other mutual friends. She was kind to tell me ahead as I've really hit a downer tonight. It brought all the miscarriage memory flooding right back to the surface and I felt sick and shaky. It was horrible. I kept seeing images of being in the bathroom etc. Glad I have had that time to compose myself but really upset that I can't feel happy for my friend and that I've hit such a low ebb.

Hi #myfriends,

OMG!! I had negative OPK on the morning that DH and i dtd but my temp spiked and has remained high although AF not due til Sat. Anyway i bought an early test yesterday thinking that, no matter how scared i was, if my temp was high this morning i'd test. BFP!!!!!!!!!!! I truly believe that my mil is with us and, if it's a girl, her middle name will be Lyn (after mil). Very mixed emotions now as i haven't grieved yet.

Thank you for all your kind words, much support has been taken from them.

Wishing you all the babydust in the world.xxxx

Congratulations jenni. That is such good news and I hope it gives you comfort and strength to get over your loss. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Jenni - congratulations for your BFP and at the same time sorry for your loss. I lost my MIL about two years ago when DS was just 14 months old and it is brutally hard.

I'm probably also going to retire a little bit from this thread... I am truly pleased for the pregnant ladies, but I have to say I find it difficult to read updates on pregnancies on a thread about struggling to conceive. Maybe it's just me and I'm truly not trying to offend anyone!

Good luck to everyone and no doubt I'll check in next month at some point!

Jennie Congratulations honey! so happy

MrsNucky Its not just you im feeling a bit like that too after 12 months, as happy as i am im struggling, You can message me anytime

xxx

Congratulations Jenni ! Lovely news after some very sad news ! X
Its like it was meant to be

Hope everyone's doing well x

LittleHeart - FX for you, my symptoms havent really stopped since March so im not spotting anymore haha! Its looking good for you.

Thanks GX - look what appeared on my chart today, OV :)

Was my anniversary yesterday and i felt really low that i hadnt ovulated, so were away tonight so will have nice night knowing i ovulated.

3 dpo

Congrats on the boy :)

Hi #myfriends. I will probably linger in the background just to keep wishing you all luck and hopefully see lots of bfps but i must admit that i agree with mrsnuckyt about finding it hard to read about bumps on here whilst i was struggling. You have all been an amazingly positive group in times of worry and stress and the last thing i want to do is cause anyone more hurt at, what is, a very emotionally trying time.

Wishing you all the babydust in the world. Jen.xx

Best of luck jenni .tbh I take the situation differently. I know I have been ttc for quite a while and I must admit there are times l feel down and under. But never have I resented anyone for getting their bfps. This thread has been very supportive and we have become more like a family. Hearing about the progress of others is actually quite exciting and kinda gives me strength to continue knowing that one day it will be my turn ((and how lovely to share with people who know what you have been thru.))

It's very sad that you would not want to know what our graduates are going thru when sooner or later it will be your turn.

Hugs all round, and I hope we stick around for each other.

Mimi, interesting perspective and i promise i don't hate hearing updates, it was just a bit hard, sometimes more than others, to read the bump updates when all i wanted was to join the club...in reality i do love knowing that there is hope and if people are mostly of your viewpoint i will give updates as and when. I will stay anyway as I'm praying for bfps for all of you. As you said, we're like family!!

I was just thinking last night, my little blip is actually 6 years in the making. We were just about to start trying when i got made redundant, then we didn't have the money, then DH didn't want another with such a big age gap (and we nearly separated over it all) then he came around last year, and here we are, financially stable, a DD who is so excited at the possibility ( she doesn't know yet, for obvious reasons) m-i-l gone but definitely not forgotten and a little blip...I'll be a month off of 40 and DD will be 9.5!! So, truly, "Omnia Cause Fiunt" as my tattoo says - or everything happens for a reason in english!!

Love and babydust to all. J xx

i dont hearing updates, but im starting to struggle. I dont mind it as much when it is people that have gone through what we have and been trying. Still difficult and it is only natural to feel like that. But im still over the moon for all the bfps x

Hey all
How r u all doing ?
Hopefully jenni has sparked another string of BFPs on here X
Kellz - how's ur TWW going ? Hope uv caught this month , sorry to hear a lot of u have bn dragged down with TTC , i think it's the hardest thing women have to put up with mentally as well as physically and it can become very lonely because u think no one understands ,just to say we have all been there and understand ur pain and I'm still always thinking of u guys and hoping ur time comes soon X
Mimi - how r u dear ? I admire ur strength all the time ! Ur powering thru like a trooper when I know it's not always easy ! Ur time is coming soon I can feel it ! Hope ur and DD r doing well X
MrsN and spots , hope ur both doing well again sorry u feel As tho ur struggling it's completely natural to feel hurt when pregnancies r announced especially after the journey uv been thru already X all we can do is pray your time will come soon , it's hard not allowing TTC to take over our lives but make sure u r still treating urself and enjoying urselves , it's so easy to fall down but it will happen when the time is right , wishing u all the best X
(( waves )) to all those who haven't posted in ages ,
Hope what ever stage u r at u r ok X
I'm going to hang in the backrojnd for a bit , but will always b keeping an eye out to see how ur doing , I completely understand that some of u find it hard to hear updates so will hide in the background ( don't worry I take no offence , been there ... )
Good luck all !!!!!!!

GX - dont hide :) i like hearing your updates, you were trying just like the rest of us are now, i just dont like hearing updates of people not trying lol.

Im 7DPO, last few cycles AF has arrived about now, or at least the spotting, but i just have creamy cm so keeping everything crossed! Was going to test next wed at 14dpo but chances are ill test on saturday if nothing

xxx

Hope everyone is okay!!

Im CD 26 today and 8DPO, the last few cycles my spotting would have started yesterday but only creamy cm, so im hoping that im regulating again!!

Temps arent too bad either, but hopefully they calm down next cycle too.

Hope youre all ok :)

All you pregnant ladies dont hide either!
