TTC #2

[rollerskaterdata]

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!

@Ellikopter I've only been trying since August too! Twins in every way 🤣 I, too, am ridiculously impatient and not sure what will be left of my mind at the end of TTC! 🤪

I am SO BLOATED and uncomfortable! Sitting at my desk looking about 4 months gone!

@rollerskaterdata it'll just be an empty void one TTC finished lol

Got period like cramps today. Has anyone else got these even though not due on until next week? Honestly feels like I'm going to come on lol

@Ellikopter I've had a few, but most of my cramping has now subsided 🤷‍♀️ apart from sharp pain every now and then in one specific spot in my uterus. Not sure what to make of this though, I distinctly remember having AF type cramps whilst pg with DS so I usually associate it as being a good thing?! I was cramping every day since Ov until yesterday really 🧐

It's just been there niggling most of the day just like a dull ache as if to expect to run to loo and see blood but nothing

@Ellikopter I spoke too soon, my own dull ache cramps are back!

@rollerskaterdata @Ellikopter I haven't really got any symptoms but it's strange as AF is supposed to start on Saturday and usually I have signs by now! So I was expecting the confusing 'is it AF or pregnancy' cramps, and now I'm confused because there's nothing and thinking hopefully that's a sign?! Absolute minefield this TTC thing isn't it?! 😂😂😂

@ejo21 it's almost cruel what our bodies do to us :( just because you have no symptoms doesn't mean you're not pregnant :)

@rollerskaterdata I'm currently sat in a bath trying to sooth my cramps. I've not needed to take anything but it's just right there as feel it in lower region too , oh my FRER came today so tempted but think longer I leave it the more definite the outcome will be regardless of result. I'm so spotty too :( which is annoying as they normally come whilst I'm on lol

@rollerskaterdata Awww no cramp twins too! Haha

@Ellikopter I was thinking how nice it would be to have a bath too, great minds! I just generally feel a bit achy, and with the cramps and bloating and tiredness I could do with a good soak! Already showered though so might have to tomorrow!

@ejo21 no pre warning of AF is good! Hopefully means she'll never show 🙃

I've already had to talk myself down from testing tomorrow at 10dpo...

@ejo21 If AF doesn't show up Saturday take a test! :)

@rollerskaterdata this tingling on and off I'm getting in my boobs is annoying though. With the cramps too was going to loo all time thinking that I was going to come on, even as I type now I've a twinge in my left side!

@Ellikopter it all sounds really good! I don't want to speak negatively but I'm losing optimism this month. I have the leg cramps and heavy feeling in my lady parts (sorry TMI!) that I normally get when I'm on AF (even though it's still 5 days away). Had it last month too from 7dpo and sure enough AF came right on time. Thought I might have gotten away with it this month seeing as it didn't start at 7dpo like last month, but 10dpo today and it's started. Feeling really bummed out ☹️

Sorry to hear that :( @rollerskaterdata why don't you take a test just to rule it out. X

I'm planning to tomorrow anyway but aaaaahhhhh TTC is really getting to me and I'm only on cycle 2 (stupid to feel this way so soon I know). I want to stop trying but can't because I want a baby! And I don't want to stop tracking and see what happens in case it takes even longer because we keep mistiming BD. I'm all over the place emotionally and AF hasn't even turned up yet! X

@rollerskaterdata it really is horrible but don't give up ☺️ you'll get there eventually, maybe even this month! We've been trying for 7 months now and I'm far more chilled than I was after trying for 2/3 months 😅 it takes a while to accept that sometimes it can be months and months but I honestly think everything happens for a reason and you'll have your next little one when the time is right 🙂

Plus, you're not out this month yet anyway!!! 🙂🤞 Keep your chin up! Xxx

You're not out until AF is here and even then you still can be :) @rollerskaterdata

@ejo21 @Ellikopter thank you so much ladies, you've cheered me up! It's so nice to have other lovely ladies to whinge talk to about the highs and lows of TTC! I know I'm being silly as it's only been 2 months, I was just not prepared at all for all of the emotions that come with TTC! I've put my big girl pants back on lol and we'll see what tomorrow morning brings! (Even though it may still be too early! 😂)

OMG I can't believe it!!!! 11dpo and got this this morning!

Um would help if I attached the picture! 😁

@rollerskaterdata @ejo21 I wanted to post yesterday but didn't pluck courage to, I took two FRER tests yesterday as I was impatient and three are the results

@rollerskaterdata SNAP!!! Yaaaaay

Hello, just found this thread- congrats! My son is nearly 4 and we decided to go for it but I’d forgotten the intensity and background anxiety of a tww. So glad you two ladies got what you were hoping for!
