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.

@whatsthecraic91 Eek! When do you think you'll test?

Goodgoodthings · 17/09/2021 10:14

@whatsthecraic91 hope you're feeling alright! Keeping everything crossed for you, would be lovely to see a BFP here. I also had a lack of sleep last night thanks to teething little one 😑 and woke up to another gormless flashing smiley. So annoying! That's 6 days in a row now.

@GreenFlipFlop I haven't been having much luck with the normal OPKs either, I find it so hard to judge and have had a few stronger lines followed by weaker ones. Pretty sure this is down to polycystic ovaries / hormones and probably breastfeeding too. Think I'll pack them away next cycle and just see what happens.

whatsthecraic91 · 17/09/2021 10:29

Thanks ladies but I just have a feeling AF will show late. I have the fear so probably won't test until Monday or Tuesday. I don't know for sure about my DPO as flo kept changing it 🙄

Mim21 · 17/09/2021 18:22

I tested today because i'm feeling rather unpregant using an FRER And it was a BFN as I'd imagined, I think I'm 11DPO, I know it's not definite at this stage but i think i just know! Works out quite well as I'm going for work drinks (first time seeing everyone since before my mat leave) next Friday and then have a hen do early October that I won't have to lie my way through, I'm going to use conceive plus next cycle, I used it when I conceived DS so fingers crossed for then! I also need to now sort out this case of thrush, delightful! 😂

whatsthecraic91 · 18/09/2021 15:59

Ladies!!!!

Anyone else ttc #2?
Goodgoodthings · 18/09/2021 20:20

@whatsthecraic91 yes! What a line! How are you feeling? 🎉

Mim21 · 18/09/2021 20:23

@whatsthecraic91 yayy! Congratulations!!! 🎉

whatsthecraic91 · 18/09/2021 20:37

@Mim21 @Goodgoodthings thanks girls honestly I don't believe it!! I've a clearblue coming tomorrow so I'll start believing it if it's positive 😅 I just can't believe 1st time lucky after the length of time the first one took!!

Goodgoodthings · 18/09/2021 20:41

@whatsthecraic91 such lovely news after reading how long your first took, gives me hope! Keep us posted how you get on when your clear blue arrives!

7 days of flashing smileys today- pretty sure I'm out this month 🤦‍♀️

VixenAndCub · 18/09/2021 20:50

Yup! My son is two and a half in October and my partner and I have just completed month 1 of trying. He'll be gone 3 and in nursery, if not older, so we think it's a nice gap. We were very very lucky and caught with our son after 3 or 4 attempts, and that's when trying to flush out the Pill. I had a coil this time and was told I'd be fertile almost straight away so fingers crossed for a similar length of time.

I've been getting twinges every now and then and my brain is so transfixed on it being the cord attachment aches but I think I'm just looking into things too much Blush

Best of luck to us all!!

GreenFlipFlop · 18/09/2021 20:59

@whatsthecraic91 Congrats!! Seeing positive tests makes me so happy! Let us know how the clearblue goes!!

whatsthecraic91 · 18/09/2021 21:23

@Goodgoodthings I know my OH thinks he's super sperm now 😂😂 oh I remember them bloody flashing smileys!! I think I had 6/7 before one time. Hopefully your static will he tomorrow 🤞🏼

@GreenFlipFlop eeek thank you lovely 🤩

I'll let you know how I get on with my CB. I'll be looking out the window waiting for amazon tomorrow 😂

Hullabaloowho · 18/09/2021 21:27

Congratulations @whatsthecraic91!!! I'm sure the clearblue will only confirm what you already suspect Grin

I also was really shocked to conceive first month TTC this time as it took us 13 last time. There is hope!

PartyPotato · 19/09/2021 08:51

@whatsthecraic91 yay congratulations! Lovely news

whatsthecraic91 · 19/09/2021 16:12

@whatsthecraic91 amazing! Congratulations! Must be such a shock after the 18 month slog last time.

I'm on cd8 and starting opks tomorrow. Starting dtd tonight though.

Hi, can I join please? 😬 I'm currently on cycle 6 trying to conceive number 2! She's now nearly 12 months old!

I'm 14DPO and period is due today but I've resisted testing somehow 😂

VixenAndCub · 19/09/2021 16:23

@whatsthecraic91 CONGRATULATIONS! I'll be testing second week of Oct, hope I'll be joining you!

whatsthecraic91 · 19/09/2021 16:44

@Chanel05 such a shock!! I was waiting on a HSG before #1. For me I now know it was work stress. I haven't been at work since December and boom first time 😅🤷‍♀️

@VixenAndCub thank you girlie!! Fingers crossed for you!

I'll still be lurking around to keep an eye on the rest of you lot 😀 good luck to you all xx

CBB2021 · 19/09/2021 19:18

Congrats @whatsthecraic91 🎉🎉🎉

Awful what work stress can do! Great that this time has been nice and straightforward 😄

Goodgoodthings · 19/09/2021 19:24

@whatsthecraic91 I'm so happy for you! It's really uplifting to know that anything can happen. Thanks for being so positive here - also got my static smiley today so you were right 🎉

GreenFlipFlop · 19/09/2021 21:11

Amazing! Congrats @whatsthecraic91!!
