Ttc number 2!

Hello! Anyone thinking of ttc number 2? I have a 6 month old baby and don't want a big age gap between babies. AF has been a bit erratic over the past few months but DH and I have decided to make next month the first month of ttc. Anyone else sort of in the same boat?

Ahhhh I didn't realise the type of test. Yeah that's a fair wide gap so definitely a line in the right place. But definitely weird about the FRER. I've also heard blue dye tests are a bit less reliable BUT I'm cautious optimistic for you Grin

Ill keep you all posted. Have a horrible feeling I'm in for disappointment tomorrow!!

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 16/08/2016 18:48

Which will teach me for obsessively testing so early GrinBlush

Hi guys. I have been lurking on this thread for a while - more living vicariously through you right now - I have an 11yo DD and I am getting married in a couple of months, thinking about #2 but for me will be like starting over! Would be DP first baby. We haven't decided if/when we will bite the bullet but I'm thinking next summer - but possibly as early as this Christmas depending how broody I feel! Recently we were at a gathering with lots of babies and one of them was so cute he made my boobs hurt! LOL

How exciting tuna - bet it's a BFP. good luck all of you!

MmmMalbec · 16/08/2016 19:14

It would be a pile of shit if it's not a proper BFP though. What's the point in tests that are unreliable though?!!! I'll keep everything crossed you see something on the FRER tomorrow!

Welcome Squirrel, if you're looking at joining MN groups now I'd say you'll be starting to TTC sooner rather than later Grin

Sonnet18 · 16/08/2016 19:15

I don't know if you can get a false positive? It picks up hcg (right combo of letters?) which is the pregnancy hormone so if its present then you are pregnant! Test again tomorrow I suppose to be sure! Ooh our first BFP! Fingers crossed for you!
Welcome grumpy squirrel!

I thought false positives were impossible too but people on other threads seem to say it happens with blue dye tests? Hmm BUT I'm also cautiously optimistic for you tuna! Did you say you have bought another FRER to use tomorrow? Keep us posted!

Welcome squirrel Smile

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 16/08/2016 19:24

Thanks all :)

Welcome squirrel! Let us know how you get on :) and congrats on your upcoming wedding!

I have two superdrug early tests currently stashed away in my drawer. Apparently they're very good for testing early.

Haven't told my husband about today's test. Don't want to get his hopes up if it's not real Confused

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 16/08/2016 19:25

The superdrug ones are pink dye ones - so fingers crossed they're more reliable Smile

MmmMalbec · 16/08/2016 19:52

I've heard good things about the superdrug ones too! Is it something to do with them getting evap lines that are actually blue so it looks like a bfp?! I don't know. It definitely looks positive anyway!!!

Sonnet18 · 16/08/2016 19:54

Ooh good luck! I have heard the superdrug ones are the best as they detect the lowest amount of the pregnancy hormone (only need 10 units of the hormone instead of 50 like clear blue) so if a clearblue is positive then the superdrug one ought to be too!

Hi everyone.

Oh Tuna. Keeping everything crossed for you. Can def see that line and really hope it's your BFP! !
Looking forward to tomorrow's update!

I am 8dpo today. Have already peed on 6 pregnancy tests in the past few days... oops! I need help clearly. All BFN by the way

Gonna try hold out until 10dpo now ( thursday) as I'm just pissing all over my money practically haha

MmmMalbec · 16/08/2016 21:05

Hahaha Loz I hope they were cheapies?!?! Not too long to wait until Thursday!

I'm praying for a temp jump in the morning so I can crack on with the TWW!

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 16/08/2016 21:32

Aww Loz - a fellow testing addict :) fingers crossed for Thursday!

loztredders · 16/08/2016 21:39

Yes cheapies

10 for 4 quid so I'm not massively in debt now :-)

Hope you get that temp jump and can join us in the dragging 2ww

Thanks tuna!

MmmMalbec · 17/08/2016 06:14

Ah not too bad then Loz! Can't wait to see your test tuna!!!!

Had a temp jump this morning so hopefully I'll get another few rises and then I can confirm OV Grin

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 17/08/2016 06:45

PurpleHaze1 · 17/08/2016 06:48

Woooohoooo tuna!! That's definitely a line! Congratulations! Grin

MmmMalbec · 17/08/2016 06:50

Tuna!!!!!!!! High five you absolute legend!!! Thanks for cheering me up with seeing a nice BFP this morning. Congratulations Grin! Stats please.... Your age, his age, DC age, ovulation date, days you DTD etc etc 😄😄

PurpleHaze1 · 17/08/2016 06:50

Yes, tell us EVERYTHING! Grin

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 17/08/2016 06:55

I feel a bit sick!!!!! It took us a while to have DS, so I really didn't expect this to happen! SmileGrin

I'm 30, DH 32, DS 18 months.

I ovulated on CD 14. We DTD CD13 CD14 CD15.

My hands are shaking!!

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 17/08/2016 06:56

Any fun ideas for telling DH?!

MrsY87 · 17/08/2016 06:59

Congrats tuna! Definitely a line!!

MmmMalbec · 17/08/2016 07:12

You jammy cow only having sex 3 times and still getting knocked up!! And being lucky enough to OV on cd14 and get pregnant first month. If I wasn't so pleased to see a bfp I'd ban you from the group Grin!!! Ooh I really don't know. I waved a piss stick in my DHs face at 4.30am when I found I was pregnant so I definitely don't have any experience for fun ways to do it haha! Is he about now?!

Sonnet18 · 17/08/2016 07:24

Oh YAY! Congrats! That's crazy! Great news!
