Anyone TTC #2?

999 replies

Lots of threads about TTC baby #1 so looking for someone baby #2 support!

If so how old is your current DC and what made you realise it was the right time?

DD has just turned 1 and we are thinking about #2 very soon! DD took 14 months to conceive so I’m prepared for another long slog...although a bit panicky that it could happen sooner! Am also still shifting some baby weight that clung on nicely during both lockdowns Wink

Anyone else?

@Nobeautysleep morning! I’m ok, still pregnant as far as I know. I’m getting a consistent flow of CM so don’t know if that’s good or bad but it feels like AF Blush so I keep going to the toilet and checking! So far so good though it’s totally colourless. I keep inspecting for pink or red.

WHY DO WE DO THIS.

I’m doing a little spring clean in the house today (OH is keeping DD occupied) so looking forward to it being a bit fresher and tidier! I’ve still got crap leftover from Christmas sitting around so really needs to be done haha

@mrssunshinexxx yes a blank circle!

@Nobeautysleep it definitely messes your cycle up. I've had my period back for a year now and it's still not regular  can see a difference when DC feeds more/less

@mamaatthegym oh I remember that feeling from DC - hopefully it's a good sign!

Rayray20 · 20/02/2021 10:13

Hey! It’s definitely darker this morning but I still don’t have the paper clip showing to post the pictures! @dunkedbiscuit

I feel nauseous today aswel had to open the window heaving changing dds nappy 🤢

@mamaatthegym I think it is 20 seconds when you dip for most tests you know i always count 20 anyway just to be sure xxx

mrssunshinexxx · 20/02/2021 13:12

Hmm @TheWhalesOnTheBus everyone gets a blank first day as it gathers data. I wouldn't personally be skipping days or skip to cheapies if your cycles are long and it's going to be expensive x

Cantthinkofaname99 · 20/02/2021 18:26

@TheWhalesOnTheBus I'm only using cheap ones, but mine said to start on CD9, apps all suggest I would ovulate on CD13/14 but on CD11 now and still getting negatives, so it's probably as I thought and I'm ovulating later than the apps are suggesting, so probably not hitting the right days, at least the negatives are good motivation for us to keep DTD every few days!
Not sure if I'm doing them right though, I can't hold my wee for more than an hour 😂

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 20/02/2021 19:52

@mrssunshinexxx today's one said low too. I only bought the expensive ones as I thought it would make things simpler 🤣 never mind!

@Cantthinkofaname99 yes it's definitely good motivation to dtd. Was going to attempt SMEP but DC doesn't like sleeping and we are so tired! Will ramp things up closer to ovulation (hopefully). I would like to temp again but don't get consistent sleep so think it would be all over the place

mrssunshinexxx · 20/02/2021 20:52

It's ok that it's still low but you need to keep using them daily until you get your static otherwise it messes with the data and won't be accurate @TheWhalesOnTheBus

dunkedbiscuit · 21/02/2021 08:45

Morning everyone, is there anyone testing this week? I’m trying to hold off until Thursday

I must also get back on the healthy eating wagon, DS’s birthday and half term have thrown me with too many nice things in the house!

Hope you’ve all had a good weekend 😊

mrssunshinexxx · 21/02/2021 08:47

@dunkedbiscuit not til Sunday here or maybe Saturday if I'm going mad but no one let me do before pls !

Nobeautysleep · 21/02/2021 09:08

@dunkedbiscuit I tested yesterday and bfn at CD33 so don’t think I’ll test again this week. 😫

dunkedbiscuit · 21/02/2021 10:06

Oh @Nobeautysleep sorry about the BFN 😕 what a blimin tease when AF hasn’t showed!

@mrssunshinexxx stay strong!!

Rayray20 · 21/02/2021 12:50

Ahh congrats @Rayray20 ❤️ Lovely line progression as well.

I love seeing fresh positive tests there’s something so satisfying about it. Are we weird?

Bring on the next round of BFPs!

May2311 · 21/02/2021 17:35

Well we only stopped using contraceptives a few days ago. I ovulated last Sunday/Monday and I'm still counting down the days that i could pee on a stick even though I know we weren't even trying this month and no chance of getting BFP🤣 The plan was to start properly for next month 🙄🥴 Now that is crazy isn't it 🙈

mrssunshinexxx · 21/02/2021 18:49

It's an addiction @May2311 if I manage to not test til Sunday it will be some sort of miracle

noname55 · 21/02/2021 19:49

How is everyone? CD15 and just got my first high on an opk for this cycle 🙌

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 21/02/2021 22:24

I love seeing BFPs too!

Time goes slowly when you're TTC! I'm CD12 and getting lows and no ewcm yet so think it may be a while. This is our first month properly trying, I'm going to be a nightmare on the tww!
