TTC journey starting June...

[kate123cl]

Hey ladies!

Anyone with me ttc next month? I had my DS back in Feb 19 and we've now decided to try for baby #2.

I've been out and bought ovulation sticks, pregnancy tests and folic acid. I haven't been on Mumsnet in a long while and I've just checked the conception topic and I'm all excited again, it was such a great support platform for me the first time around!

Oops I meant testing @Newbie9 as resting with a toddler would be wishful thinking!

Mine seem to be stronger in the afternoon too @Newbie9 !

@Running365 Ah yes very similar cycles, exact almost I'm the same re overthinking, it's driving me crazy! It happened first time with our first so I've got it into my head that it'll definitely take a lifetime this time! Hope you're doing ok. Are you using OPKs?

@Running365 thank you, no resting for me haha
Hoping I don't come on, I feel a bit crampy again now
I also felt implantation so clearly with my son, I know every pregnancy is different but haven't felt that x

@kate123cl it certainly messes with your head all this comparison to the first. No we've decided that as my cycles are regular to just DTD regularly (although I'm shattered already haha) and tracking CM as it's usually very obvious (sorry TMI)! I don't want DH thinking I'm obsessing already by doing temps and opks so I'm trying to play it cool but doubt it'll last to next month if we're not successful this cycle. I'm not sure I can sustain this much time DTD although DH not complaining!

@Newbie9 positive thoughts!!

Fair enough! @Running365. So similar, my CM is usually very obvious too. We've dtd every night for the past 4 (I'm also exhausted) Well done you for playing it cool, I don't have the will power

Did a test just now, bfn but it's on 9dpo and was 3rd wee of the day
Still hoping x

@Newbie9 Ah, still early though so keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!x

@kate123cl thank you x

Does this look like I'm getting somewhere? I'm already going crazy! Meant to be ovulation in about 2 days so is this colour normal for where I am in my cycle? I'm testing about 4 times a day

@kate123cl yep that looks like it's quite dark so that's great x

I've had mild cramps again today on & off and just been to the toilet & wiped & it's a tiny bit pink
I've took a pic but it's prob tmi for you all! X

Hiya so I'm currently 5 days into my period so can't wait to get trying again , I've never used ovulation strips so going to try those during the next cycle, I always just assumed I ovulated but started doubting myself so hopefully all will be in order and I don't have to add that to the list of potential reasons as to why we didn't get pregnant straight away 😂 fingers crossed for you all, it's a tiring and expensive process

@Newbie9 I've spend the morning dealing with poonamis so feel free to post a pic, won't bother me in the slightest!x

Hi @TerryRose ! They're definitely interesting to use but make you feel crazy at times! I'm sure it'll all work out for you, fingers crossed!x

Ah yes I see! @Newbie9 it could well be, it's usually pink-ish hue rather than red isn't it!🤞🏼x

@kate123cl it's just sting but pink isn't it. How do I delete it now?!

@Newbie9 Ooo I'm really not too sure! I can report it and ask them to take it down at your request possibly? I'm not sure!x

@kate123cl I've just reported it & asked them to remove it x

After a miscarriage last October I'm really really really hoping this month is the one!! My periods seem to be now returning back to normal again and I couldn't think of a better birthday present and wrapping up a positive Pregnancy test for my OH in Jul

@Newbie9 that looks promising- fingers crossed!
@Lozz22 I hope this is your month too.

I am 8/9 dpo and have had some random bouts of horrible nausea... not sure if it's a bug , caused by work stress or whether it could be a sign of BFP. I had horrendous pregnancy sickness with my first- endless vomiting every day from 4.30pm (started like clockwork!) from week 5 til week 28. Only upside was it meant I put on v little weight in pregnancy. How many DPO are people waiting before they test?

aw @Lozz22 I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm really hoping that this is your month!

@Bluepolkadots42 Ooo fingers crossed for you! I also had horrendous sickness with my DS. Well, morning, afternoon and night sickness I liked to call it I'll probably test from 2-3 days before AF being due!

@Bluepolkadots42 I also ended up being a stone and a half lighter when I was pregnant than before!

@kate123cl the sickness is just horrendous isn't it? But silver lining is the lack of weight gain. 1.5 stone is amazing! I think I lose a stone all in all including my 7lb daughter. I am aiming to hold out till 12dpo but so tempted to test at 10. Which is silly as I should just have will power to wait until Monday!
