Anyone else ttc #2?

[Chanel05]

My dd is 11 months old and we have decided that now is the time for number 2! My daughter took 18 months to conceive with a mmc in between, so I'm expecting a long journey. This is my first month and I'm on cd4.

I’m sure I’ve only just ovulated recently, as I’m on CD19 and have been tracking my CM. But for about a week now my boobs have felt a bit sore and I’ve had mild cramps a couple of times a day (can feel them right now actually). I never normally get either of those things with ovulation. Sometimes sore boobs before period, but not every month. What is my body doing 😆

As expected, the spotting has begun. Looks like that's me out too this month! Good Luck to everyone left, hope we get to see some more positives!

Congrats @Hullabaloowho and @Aoife0906!! How exciting.

Sorry to everyone else that has had BFN or period arrive 😞😞 @wegoagain @CBB2021 always next month 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Congrats to the bfps!

I'm counting this cycle as my first now as I had no clue what was going on in the last one and only dtd once 😂.

Currently cd4.

13DPO, felt a bit periody yesterday but it's gone now. Tingly boobs this afternoon but it may be all in my head 😂

Anyone else near testing?

@whatsthecraic91 Not me, CD19 and on day 4 of flashing smiley 😑 the most annoying little face to wake up to when you're obviously wanting to ovulate. When I fell pregnant I'm pretty sure I ovulated on day 20/21 so we'll see what happens.

When will you test? Your symptoms sound promising but it's so hard not to notice every little thing isn't it?

@Goodgoodthings oh that flashing smiley can be a real bitch! I think one cycle I got 6 in a row! I know I keep swinging between I'm definitely pregnant to no way you're pregnant 😂 it will probably be Monday/Tuesday before I test. I'll give AF a few days to show up. She's due tomorrow 🤞🏼

@whatsthecraic91 totally admire your resilience! My bloody Flo app suggested to me yesterday that I buy some pregnancy tests ready for later this month 🧐 haven't even ovulated yet! I think next cycle I might not bother testing/tracking like a mad woman, it's stressing me out already ha.

I'm not feeling massively positive this cycle if I'm honest but it's early days. Also MIL has just booked in a four night stay at ours in 2 weeks so here's hoping if I do ovulate it's before that 🥴

@Goodgoodthings don't buy any tests don't keep them in the house too tempting!! Oh fingers crossed you ov before then. MIL being in the house is quite the mood killer 😂

At the knicker checking stage now! I keep thinking AF is here but I've just loads of CM. 14DPO today

@whatsthecraic91 loads of CM may be a good sign!🤞🏼🤞🏼

Bit of a personal one 😳 what positions did you all conceive your 1st DC with?

@GreenFlipFlop
1st pregnancy was just standard missionary. Lost that pregnancy.

My DD was dodgy style I’m sure 😂😂😂 woof

I really don't think this has been our month and I'm feeling like I'm getting thrush and a bit periody, could feel a pulse in my foof (whats the MN term for this?! 🤣) last night and this morning which of course I googled, and some frer's may have slipped onto an amazon order just to get me out of this limbo guessing stage over the weekend. I think AF IS due sun/mon.

When's your AF due @whatsthecraic91 ?

@Indianna2006 eeek I hope so!! 🤞🏼

@GreenFlipFlop my first was good old missionary in the living room and I lay on the sofa with my legs up the wall 😂 I remember as it was Easter Sunday and we were having a break from power hosing 😂

@Mim21 due today and she hasn't arrived!! I'll order a test on Sunday for Monday if she doesn't appear before then

Fingers crossed! @whatsthecraic91 🤞🏻

@GreenFlipFlop missionary so as not to lose any of the ‘important stuff’, and legs in the air afterwards!

@whatsthecraic91 and @Mim21 oooh I love it when ppl are near testing. I can almost smell the positive 🤣

@GreenFlipFlop what cycle are you on now hun?

I’m CD9 and started OPKs this morning but noticed some fertile mucus few hours ago so think I’m on course to ovulate as per my usual CD13ish. Wish it would just get a mooovee on! Feeling very impatient now!

@whatsthecraic91 😂😂 break from power hosing!
It was doggy for us too with DS1 and I'm wondering if that's the secret! 😂
@indianna2006 We're just going into cycle 5! My Flo app says I'm due to ovulate in 3 days but I've been doing OPK'S just to check when or if I'm actually ovulating! Does anyone else find them mega confusing though?!

These are all the tests I've done so far and I've analysed them on the Glow app and they're all negative but I'm a bit worried I won't be able to tell when it's positive cos they all look quite bold?!

@GreenFlipFlop haha doggy it is for us all this cycle then 😂😂

Yes I’m on cycle 5 too. Due to ovulate Monday I think so we must be cycle twins lol.

Hmm not sure on the opks. Mine tended to be quite faint and then boom a strong one when I did the dip opks. Is it your first month doing them or do you always get these type of lines other months?
Guess hopefully one may be obvious. Have you got an EWCM yet?

I always struggled with the OPKs as lines always looked dark. This cycle was the first time I've had a clear positive and the test line looked like the darkest line (also matched with my static on Clear Blue)

@GreenFlipFlop i use the easy@home opks that go with the premom app and i find them quite clear, it helps to log them on an app for sure (you may already be!), i think you could put those in and you'll see the peaks before ovulation hopefully? I'd say it's usually the day before my peak i notice the line getting significantly darker, its not a slow build for me quite up and down until the peak x

@Indianna2006 We are cycle twins!! Hoping this is the cycle for us!! No EWCM yet..but going to keep an eye out incase it happens around when Flo is predicting!
@wegoagain Thank you, those pictures are so helpful! They're so bold at your peak, I hope mine are similar!
@Mim21 Thank you! I've been using Glow, but I might try Premom!

@GreenFlipFlop haha we had not long moved into our house and were cleaning up outside 😂

Well ladies 15DPO and no sign of AF, I also couldn't sleep last night which is so unlike me 😅🤞🏼

@whatsthecraic91 I am so hopeful for you!
