TTC number two... still breastfeeding. I temped with Baby 1 but this time going on ewcm and rise in libido! Cycles are pretty regular but slightly long at 32-35 days but they've always been like that. Periods returned when my greedy EBF baby was only 4 months and have been like clockwork. Baby is now 18 months old.

Anyone wishing to join and just about starting the 2 week wait are welcome!

@tubbyswife so sorry to hear about your loss. I've also tested at 6DPO before completely irrationally but I've been there!

@Ktn35 I'd love to wait until I'm late to test but I think I will do about 10days after I get a positive OPK. I'm terribly impatient when it comes to this malarkey! And often I prefer to see a BFN and stop thinking about it (for 24 hours at least...) rather than obsess until I'm late! I wish I had better willpower!

@SaharaRoxy what is preseed? Ive never heard of it before. So much stuff i never knew before i started reading posts on here 😂

Hatepickinganame · 04/01/2020 15:09

@tubbyswife so sorry to hear about your loss. Im 9dpo and using all my willpower not to test again til at least monday!

SaharaRoxy · 04/01/2020 16:02

Pre seed is fertility friendly lube. Apparently helps the sperm survive so they can hang around for the egg. It's a nice product to use as other lubes and even saliva (sorry TMI) can be sperm killers (how dramatic) plus it's handy if you need a well timed quickie! @Hatepickinganame

Can I join please?
Currently TTC DC #2.
Cycle #3 and I'm currently 8dpo.

Have stupidly done a test and it was a BFN! Sad

AF not due until 14/01 so trying to hold off for as long as possible before testing again!

Fingers crossed for us all 🤞 xx

SaharaRoxy · 04/01/2020 19:43

Good luck @2020BabyPlease the temptation to test is all too familiar! What age gap are you aiming for assuming you get your autumn/winter 2020 baby number two?

OP posts:
2020BabyPlease · 04/01/2020 19:57

@SaharaRoxy

Thanks for replying! Our daughter will be 6 in April so it would be almost a six and a half year age gap!

Since having her in April 2014 I've been on Cerazette. Came off of it in October. Had regular periods whilst on it and they're still really regular which is great. Was worried things might change!

We were super lucky with our daughter that I fell pregnant first attempt with her. Did think it was too good to be true with #2 and it's still early days.

Baby dust to everyone TTC xx

SaharaRoxy · 04/01/2020 20:01

Brilliant I'm sure you'll fall super quickly again too! Any 'secret' wish for a girl or boy this time round? @2020BabyPlease

Ktn35 · 04/01/2020 20:25

It's nice that there are people trying for number 2 on here! Lots of these threads seem to be first timers!
I'm getting ovulation cramps tonight! My first was conceived on 5th of January two years ... How weird would it be if that happened again?!!!

Ktn35 · 04/01/2020 20:26

I'd secretly like another girl but I'll take whatever comes!

2020BabyPlease · 04/01/2020 20:32

@SaharaRoxy We would both really love a boy. DH and I have both been told by psychics that we're going to be having a boy. I've taken that with a pinch of salt however!

Symptoms wise so far:
sharp pains on 5dpo, no spotting however.
7dpo noticed I have loads of very prominent Montgomery glands which I never normally have (🤞)

Said I was going to take it easy this month and not obsess however that's not really worked! 🤣

Ohh, this TWW is killing me! 😁

What other symptoms are you ladies all having?

Elly88 · 04/01/2020 21:59

Hello to new comers and fellow ttc #2s! Totally reading into my made up symptoms as now only 3/4 dpo I think but had headaches and feeling nauseous with odd cramp last couple days. Definitely feel different to last month and ds was conceived on cycle 2 which this is so fingers crossed. I'm so rubbish at the 2ww 🙈

Elly88 · 04/01/2020 22:01

Forgot to say also this month the day after ovulation my sex drive plumetted which can be a good sign? Didn't have that last month

Hatepickinganame · 04/01/2020 22:52

I think i must be the only person i know ttc #4... good luck to all of you 😊

dizzy85 · 04/01/2020 22:57

Hi ladies mind if I join? Currently 2dpo roughly, going by app/cm etc as I didn't use opk this month thought I'd take the more relaxed approach up until now when the 2ww madness begins 🤣
I'm trying for my first, I did fall pregnant after 6months but unfortunately had a mmc at 3 months, but back to it now after a few months break so this is now cycle number 3 this time round.
Baby dust to everyone xx

sojo44 · 05/01/2020 09:08

I'm 4-5DPO now with PCOS (temped this cycles so just astounded that I actually ovulate 🥳). On CD22 (usually 45day cycles so feels oddly early to OV)!

How is everyone feeling? Any crazy symptom spotting?

@Lizziejayne13 I'm in the same boat as you, I think I can a chemical last cycle so super nervous now. How are you coping? X

Elly88 · 05/01/2020 11:22

Sorry to hear about all these chemicals. Let's hope 2020 is our year. Anyone else 2-5 dpo and getting mild af like feelings? I know it's too early to anything but I'm not due on for nearly 2 weeks 🤔

dizzy85 · 05/01/2020 11:29

@Elly88 hi, I'm about 3dpo today. I have been feeling slightly mild crampy feelings but I think it could be from food and also I feel like general crap but I do have a cold lol but then in the back of my mind I'm like could this be something 😆 what kind of mild af things are you feeling?

Elly88 · 05/01/2020 12:07

Hi @dizzy85! Just mild period type bloaty pains, we did have a Chinese last night so could be food as you say haha but have had the odd twinge cramps for couple days now? And lower back ache today. And really bad headache yesterday. When do you think you're gonna test? What cycle are you on?

Lizziejayne13 · 05/01/2020 14:06

Hi @sojo44 im quietly nervous, im really scared of taking a frer again this month, as that was tests that showed up positive and that was my first chemical and i took it quite hard so hoping i can wait the full two weeks but ill cave by this time next week im sure 😆 im currently 5dpo...

Lizziejayne13 · 05/01/2020 14:09

Also only symptoms i have atm is mild tender breast pain- however that doesn't mean anything as i always suffer with that if anything its usually much worse and its taken longer for me to feel it after ov this month... we been dtd nearly everyday though so should be covered ...

dizzy85 · 05/01/2020 15:03

@Elly88 hopefully they're not from the food 🤞🏻 I've been really tired too like I could fall asleep at any second but again I have a cold so I think it's that😁 this is my 3rd cycle this time round, trying for first fell pregnant last year after 6months but unfortunately ended in mmc after 3 months so had a little break now back to it. How about you? I think I'll probably test next weekend as af due the 16th, that's if I can wait that long.

rosie990 · 05/01/2020 15:25

Hi ladies can I join? Ovulation is today and then I will be entering the tww.

I am so nervous about the wait already 😫

Elly88 · 05/01/2020 16:40

@dizzy85 sorry to hear about your mmc that must be rough 😞 I'm due on 17th so earliest 8 can test is 13th but gonna try my utmost hardest to wait as I hate it when it's negative but you don't know if it's actually negative or just too early but I am rubbish at waiting too. This is cycle 2 for baby 2. I hate the 2ww.
Welcomes others!

sojo44 · 05/01/2020 17:44

@Elly88 I'm 4-5 DPO and just have heavy boobs with sensitive nips and a few twinge like cramps in my abs. I'm assuming it's just knowing it's back to work tomorrow 😂how are you feeling?

@Lizziejayne13 omg I'm so sorry! I can only imagine!! I was seeing lines and they suddenly disappeared (so thought it had all been in my head) then realised it was a chemical. I'm about 5DPO too!! Tempted to stay away from the FRER this time until I'm a bit more confident and do ICs till then

Ladies what are you doing to keep yourself occupied during the TWW?? I'm dying 🙈
