Hi ladies! Just wondering if anyone else is trying for DC2? Hoping we can support each other through this journey 🙂 I have a soon to be 4 year old, on cycle no 2 and currently waiting to exhale ovulate!

Hi all! After 8 months of unsuccessfully TTC baby no.2 I feel like sharing the burden with some peeps! DD just turned 2 and I am so broody! Anyone else noticed a change in their cycle since having a child? I used to start bang on 28 days with quite a heavy flow but now it varies between 24-27 days and I now always get spotting 2 days before (this started about 6 months ago). I’m going to see the doctors about it next week just for some reassurance really and rule out any hormonal imbalances etc that can cause spotting. Had a weird period this month as well, it was much lighter than normal. So hard not to get stressed over it all but I know that doesn’t help with conceiving either!

Hi everyone! Can I please join? Just started TTC this month. Came off the pill in September and cycles have returned to normal so it’s our first official month. DD is 6 so it’s been a while. Currently using Flo and OPK’s for the first time. Did first one today which shows a line. Will retest this evening and hope it’s a positive Smile

Welcome @mumofone25 and@Nikkitysplit hope you get your BFP soon

@rollerskaterdata I'm glad you have seen baby and all is good Good luck for your midwife appointment today

So I now 4/5 days late for AF and did a FRER this morning but still a BFN so I'm putting it down to my body adjusting itself after the implant so I'm not gonna test again now I just need AF to hurry up so I can start cycle 2

Ellikopter · 01/11/2018 15:35

@rollerskaterdata glad to hear both you and baby are fine :) .. I'm currently on my 9th week and still battling a nausea but otherwise feel ok , nice to hear from new members @mumofone25 @Nikkitysplit @

rollerskaterdata · 01/11/2018 19:35

@waitingforbaby2 @Ellikopter thanks both, it went fine and now just waiting for a 12 week scan date. Considering I'm 10 weeks tomorrow by my last one I hope I don't have to wait too long. I'm also battling nausea and quite fed up of being / feeling sick, it didn't let up until 14/15 weeks last time so I suppose not long to go! @Ellikopter do you have a 12 week scan date yet? @waitingforbaby2 it's so distracting waiting for AF to show, I hope she comes quickly for you so you can move on!

My scan is booked for 21st November I will be 13 weeks by then :) the nausea hasn't been nicest I'm hoping mine will pass , I'm thinking of having a few private scans though lol @rollerskaterdata

Thinkcalmthoughts · 03/11/2018 11:06

Update
AF if it was it was still light and no cramps now my lower abdomen is crampy no idea if it's from the gym or bloating but I'm fine when I sit it eases just when I get up it hits and does make me feel a little sicky feeling

Could this be a early pregnancy sign

Ellikopter · 04/11/2018 07:18

@Thinkcalmthoughts could very well be :) when's next opportunity for you to test? X

rollerskaterdata · 05/11/2018 19:55

@Ellikopter glad you have a scan date, I'm still waiting for mine and it's driving me crazy! I just really want to know when it is x

Ellikopter · 05/11/2018 22:06

@rollerskaterdata I book it myself , midwife gave me a slip with numbers on to book it didn't you get one? Not sure if it differs by area so not sure where abouts your from so maybe different ?

rollerskaterdata · 06/11/2018 14:37

@Ellikopter I think it differs by area, last pregnancy it got booked there and then at my booking in appointment, this time the hospital do it and I have to wait. It sucks lol x

OP posts:
rollerskaterdata · 06/11/2018 14:57

@Ellikopter oh my word I just called the hospital and it's not for another 3 weeks, 27th Nov! I'll be 13+4 by then! I'm booking a private scan when I'll be 12 weeks, I can't wait until then to announce it's ages away!

OP posts:
Ellikopter · 06/11/2018 16:19

@rollerskaterdata I'm thinking of having an early gender scan too done because I don't think I can wait lol

Thinkcalmthoughts · 06/11/2018 17:04

@Ellikopter

I tested on Sat. Had to get more tests which prompted partner to ask why as we brought some a month ago. I explained I used them as I thought I was which his reply was why didn't you say. Told him I wanted to keep it as a surprise for him and D. I done the test and nothing not pregnant

Fingers crossed AF is late this month but will keep trying 😁😁😁😁

rollerskaterdata · 06/11/2018 17:26

@Ellikopter it's torture isn't it?! I've gone ahead and booked a private scan for next weekend, no way I'm waiting another 3 weeks!

This is so frustrating now done 2 IC this morning and still negative (I think so anyway but will add picture in case someone can see anything) but I think I just have to finally admit to myself that my cycle is just messed up and I'm not pregnant but I think I will book a drs appointment to see if I can sort it out I just want AF ( or BHP) to arrive I'm 10 days late now

I've managed to get a dr appointment this Friday so hopefully I will start to get some answers as to what is happening to my cycle

fizzytonicplease · 07/11/2018 12:28

@waitingforbaby2 im pleased you have managed to get a dr appointment as you say hopefully you can get some answers and put your mind at ease. Its so frustrating keeping everything crossed that you get some answers.

Ellikopter · 07/11/2018 18:22

@Thinkcalmthoughts keepingeverythingcrossed :)

Ellikopter · 07/11/2018 18:23

Hope doctors give you some answers @waitingforbaby2 the picture you uploaded was slightly dark so found it hard to look for something on there :(

waitingforbaby2 · 07/11/2018 18:49

Thanks @Ellikopter and @fizzytonicplease I bet knowing my luck AF will show up just before I have my dr appointment

rollerskaterdata · 07/11/2018 18:55

@waitingforbaby2 all the best for your doctors appt on Friday. AF can be so frustrating - turning up when you don't want her and not turning up when you do!

OP posts:
rollerskaterdata · 07/11/2018 18:57

@Ellikopter I rang the scan department and managed to get my scan moved to the week before on the 23rd, so a few days after yours I think!

OP posts:
Ellikopter · 08/11/2018 07:17

Oh yes @rollerskaterdata mines 21st xx

waitingforbaby2 · 09/11/2018 13:06
