TTC #2 - 2WW

49 replies

WhatsForDinnerMummy · 03/02/2017 22:43

Okay so we're ttc #2, and fell in cycle #2 with DD (2yo).
Now in the 2ww (af due 14th Feb). I seriously don't remember feeling this anxious and impatient first time round. Does anyone have any tips to calm myself the f down cause I'm driving myself crazy! It's all I think about. I don't know if I'm expecting too much cause I fell so quickly with #1. Any tips greatly received 😩

Hi, can I join in too?
I have a 2.5 year old DS, it took almost a year with him, with a mc in the middle, and we've been ttc since August this time but had a wierd mc/chemical pg in December.

I've been using OPKs this cycle and think I've been ovulating later in my cycle than I thought so might have better luck this time.
I'm about 5dpo and am driving myself crazy. Waiting to test is all I can think about!

Oh, sureitis , I'm sorry. Good luck xx

I think I'm out for this month: did a FRER and not a sausage.

sureitsgrand · 09/02/2017 21:22

Bingles, ah I will keep going and keep popping on here. It's just horrible seeing negative tests each month, I should really ban myself from testing!

Icklepickle101 · 09/02/2017 23:10

Ttc #2 cd25 9 days till af is due!

I'm a bit behind everyone else after a shitty 43 day cycle last month Angry and then not sure if I missed ovulation this month as had pains for 24 hours before I could dtd but pain continued for another day so teeny bit hopeful. DP had food poisoning so 12 days of no dtd, not the best start but trying to remain hopeful as af is due on my birthday!

PingusMistress · 10/02/2017 00:53

Just hopping on. AF due 19 Feb at the earliest, DD is 2.5.

I totally understand the mixed feelings, I really want another but we all know the realities of how hard a newborn can be. Dd didn't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time for 15 months. Coping with that again plus a toddler is daunting!

Sending positive thoughts for BFPs all round....

Happyasupsydaisy · 10/02/2017 08:41

Morning ladies. Could I join please. DS is one and we have just started tcc #2.
I'm a mixture of excitement at doing it all over again and total fear about the relalities!.We conceived fairy quickly with ds1... I think im 5dpo but who knows!

Hi all, sorry to hear that sure
Not long until test day. Feeling anxious, still having symptoms too!

Sounds hopeful, what's for dinner...

I think not getting pregnant this month is helping me to make my mind up: when the test was negative I was disappointed and I thought I might have been relieved...! It's so hard to be sure about number 2 when we're happy and number 1 is at an easy age!

Omg binglesplodge I totally get that! Feels like a bit of a grey area, happy At the prospect of being preg, anxious for the future. I KNOW my DD would be a fabulous big sis, but I'm petrified it's going to turn her into a horrible little brat. She's such a joy at the moment.

How are all you other ladies holding up? 3 more sleeps for me xxx

Can I join too?

DS just turned 1. On Cycle 2, 1st round of Clomid. AF due 20th. Throbbing boobs at the moment.

Finding it very difficult to fit DTD in around looking after DS who is not a good sleeper and had tonsillitis and flu last week and gave us both flu as well.

Can I join pls? TTC #2, already have DS 2.5 years old.
Conceived very quickly with DS, this is our first cycle of seriously trying but I've been off the pill since last summer. I have had some strange cycles and was worried I wasn't ovulating but very excited tonight as have had a positive OPK! Have dtd all week so fingers crossed!
DS was a difficult baby and for first year or so of his life I swore I wouldn't have any more! He's grown into a joy and I think we must've forgotten just how tough it was as now raring to go with #2! Good luck everyone. Xx

Just a day or two into 2WW here, it's going to be a long couple of weeks. Feeling pleased as think this was the first month I've ovulated since coming off the pill last summer....

Fingers crossed Something. I'm due af Friday. Resisting the poas at the moment x

Somethingtotalkabout1982 · 15/02/2017 19:06

Well done for not testing! How are you feeling?

Itsjustaphase84 · 15/02/2017 21:37

No different to how I usually feel before af although no af cramps yet. I have a feeling this isn't my month but I had strong ov signs so we will see. Fx

Somethingtotalkabout1982 · 16/02/2017 17:28

Fingers crossed, keep us posted!

Itsjustaphase84 · 16/02/2017 18:37

I got Af full flow today. I'm gutted. Like many I actually think that it's going to take forever to get pg.cycle 4 now

Somethingtotalkabout1982 · 16/02/2017 19:07

Sorry to hear that justaphase, hopefully it won't take you too much longer although I know what it feels like to get AF month after month.

How are others getting on? I'm only a few days into 2WW, testing around 28th if no AF by then. Already impatient!
