TTC baby #2

[Mommabear20]

For all us mammas trying for baby #2!

First month of trying here! Fell pregnant in the first month last time so 🤞🤞

@Char899 AF is due on the 20th but not sure I'll be able to make it that far without testing earlier 😂

@Mommabear20 no totally but I think that’s really lovely, a nice way to look at it! When are you planning on testing?

@Mommabear20 af due for me on 19th according to flo but my cycles used to be shorter so I think anywhere between 17-19. So I’ll test on 14th and see how I get on!

@Char899 I'll probably end up testing on the 11th (our 2 year anniversary!) even though I know it's too early it's just be perfect! 😂

@Mommabear20 how many dpo will you be by the 11th?

@Char899 5 😂

@Mommabear20 lol! You sound like me now! Fx we can control ourselves a little longer! 😂

@Char899 haha 😂 why do we do this to ourselves? 😂

According to my app I've now past my fertile days so just got to play the waiting game now! 🤞🤞

How is everyone feeling today?

That is wonderful @Mommabear20
I think anyone who can handle more than two kids deserves a medal. I love my DS and have really enjoyed being a mum, but I can’t imagine having 3 or 4. Even 2 seems unmanageable, but I think DS would love a sibling and DH wants 3, so here we are...
As for testing I am doing an OPK or two each day and an HCG strip about weekly until I see a peak or AF shows up! I feel like I am constantly peeing in a cup nowadays!

@Waiting4another hahaha I'm an ex-girl guiding leader so had a few years practice! 😂

@Waiting4another haha we thought about having 3 too but to be honest I think 2 will be enough I guess I’ll just have to see later down the line whether I get broody enough to try again!

The anxiety is just crazy. I’m 5/6 dpo today. I know I can’t have implanted yet so have managed to hold off testing so far! I had more weird dreams last night and I feel shattered, my cold seems to be getting worse again (had it nearly 2 weeks now) and I’m just feeling eugh! I just want to know now so I can get myself mentally ready to do this again next month lol

Also my ds is on one today! Using me as a climbing frame and running around like a maniac... can’t wait for nap time...

Haha @Char899 my DS loves to use me as a climbing frame too - don’t know how that will work with a pregnant belly exactly!
Also have seen people get positives on here at 7dpo so tomorrow could be a go for POAS hehe

@Waiting4another I did wonder whether to try Sunday because I’ll be 7/8 (I think more likely 7) but I’m kind of scared to incase I get an evaporation line that gets me excited! I’m seeing that a lot at the moment especially with the ic’s!

I keeping saying to ds no climbing on mummy’s tummy! Hopefully he will start to understand not to!

@Waiting4another that’s interesting! That makes me want to wait longer to test!

@Char899 My DS jumps up and down on my tummy and thinks it is hilarious 🤦‍♀️
I got a pretty strong evap on an IC a couple of days back, but I didn’t really get my hopes up, I don’t think I would ever really believe a positive until I have seen it on like 3 ICs and a FRER
Last time I didn’t even fully believe it when the doctor told me I was preggers - went home and did like 5 tests haha

@Waiting4another yep my ds is the same! Must be a boy thing! 🤦🏼‍♀️
I’m totally the opposite I’m the type that will stare at it over and over until I make a line appear in my head and then get really excited so it really is for the best that I don’t poas yet! 😂

@Mommabear20 you still planning on testing on the 11th?

@Char899 I don't know 😂I really want to but I know it's way too early 😣 I guess we'll see how strong I'm feeling on the morning 😂

@Mommabear20 @Char899 Looking forward to hearing good news from you both in a few days’ time. I have my hopes up extra high for you @Char899 with all those vivid dreams 🕷 😂

@Waiting4another thank you! Fingers crossed extra tight!!

@Waiting4another ahh thank you! I still feel like this isn’t my month but you never know I guess! Fx!! Any signs of af turning up for you yet?

Nah, nothing to report here, I don’t think I have ever looked forward to getting AF more!
That said with DS it took me 45 days to ovulate after nexplanon removal and I am on day 39 post removal now, so who knows, I may actually get an OPK peak next week, not holding my breath though - DS is being extra needy on the boobs the last couple of days as I think he is coming down with something
