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?

@May2311 yes that's right you will probably flash for a few days then get the good old static

May2311 · 08/03/2021 08:37

@mrssunshinexxx thanks!! How are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet? Xxx

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 08/03/2021 09:48

Sorry to hear that @DinkyGT
Oh that's good you've got a flashy smiley @May2311

mrssunshinexxx · 08/03/2021 10:01

@May2311 I don't feel pregnant at all just suffering with insomnia got it last time too I'll be glad when I've had 12 week scan
And no everything is ok x

May2311 · 08/03/2021 10:54

@mrssunshinexxx hopefully you won't have any sickness! I'm sure everything will be ok. How have the midwives dated you with not having a period? Xx

mrssunshinexxx · 08/03/2021 11:37

@May2311 she took my ovulation date x

May2311 · 08/03/2021 13:36

@mrssunshinexxx that's good! As hopefully your scan date will be fairly accurate then! Xx

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 08/03/2021 14:04

How many weeks are you now @mrssunshinexxx ? How are you feeling?

mrssunshinexxx · 08/03/2021 14:56

@TheWhalesOnTheBus 5+1 it's very early still I can't wait for 12 week scan to check all ok but it feels forever away x

DinkyGT · 08/03/2021 16:36

@mrssunshinexxx oh wow amazing news! Congrats! Hopefully the insomnia will pass soon so you get some decent rest xx

mrssunshinexxx · 08/03/2021 19:07

Thank you @DinkyGT xx

Jellybean023 · 08/03/2021 23:29

Static smiley for me this morning. Fingers crossed this month!

May2311 · 09/03/2021 06:55

@Jellybean023 🙌🙌 good luck! X

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 09/03/2021 13:59

How is everyone today? I'm 8dpo and feel slightly nauseous but don't know if it's all in my head! Looked back to previous bfp chart and I noted nausea at 8dpo too, then had my bfp at 9DPO. I want to wait a few more days to test as I know 9DPO is early to have a positive!

RHODXB · 09/03/2021 14:22

Just been told I have very low egg reserves. Doc says it's unlikely I will get pregnant naturally at these levels. Feeling very low

Mybobowler · 09/03/2021 14:24

Oooh @TheWhalesOnTheBus I really hope that's a positive sign for you. Fingers crossed and sending implantation vibes!

I'm CD4 and so broody, I can't concentrate on anything else. I just want AF to finish so we can start again. Pleading with all and any gods that this will be our month! If anyone has any tips or tricks, let me know. I've got OPKs, I'm back on the agnus castus (think the dose is too low though) and I've temporarily binned the thermometer because tracking bbt was sending me over the edge. Fourth cycle lucky! 🤞

Fingers crossed for anyone else waiting to test or on the TWW!

Mybobowler · 09/03/2021 14:27

Ohh gosh @RHODXB I'm so sorry to hear that. Did they offer any suggestions for what to do next? Don't give up. Hope you've got a real life hug.

May2311 · 09/03/2021 14:33

@RHODXB I'm so so sorry to hear that! Has the doc spoken about next steps? Xx

May2311 · 09/03/2021 14:36

@TheWhalesOnTheBus sounds hopeful!!! Fingers crossed for you. Do you think you will test tomorrow? It's so hard not testing!

@Mybobowler I agree with the tracking bbt- I started last week but gave up after 4 days 😂 the other difficulty is if I'm up in the night it obviously impacts it so don't think it would be reliable anyways. No other recommendations just sending lots of luck!!

Xxx

Jellybean023 · 09/03/2021 14:47

I’m feeling a bit disheartened. Ovulation today or yesterday according to the OPKs and sorry if TMI but we didn’t manage to DTD last night. Hope the previous night is enough (and / or tonight is not too late)!

noname55 · 09/03/2021 14:56

Hi everyone!
Only CD3 (or 4, I've lost count). We've decided not to take a break this month as we said we would but going to try a more relaxed approach, no opks or tracking of anything.

noname09 · 09/03/2021 14:58

So sorry. I hope you're ok.
TheWhalesOnTheBus · 09/03/2021 15:20

So sorry @RHODXB that must have been hard to hear. Have they given any indication of next steps or are you taking the time to absorb the information?

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 09/03/2021 15:23

@May2311 I'm not sure - will probably decide on the spur of the moment, I'll try and wait a few more days though.

@Jellybean023 I think if you manage to dtd in the days leading up to ovulation then that should be fine as sperm can survive up to 5 days so try not to feel too disheartened (easier said than done I know!)

Mybobowler · 09/03/2021 15:44

@noname55 looks like we're cycle buddies then! Do you know roughly when you ovulate? Nice to have someone at the same stage!
