Anyone else ttc #2?

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 8dpo here and also don't feel it happened.. but who knows fingers crossed for us all!

wegoagain · 11/09/2021 20:04

6dpo and dying to POAS already, why am I like this!? I keep getting really hopeful which is so frustrating because it will make it worse when AF inevitably shows up!

So it would appear my cycle was 25 days as I've got a lot of cramps and af is about to kick in full swing. Think I must have ovulated before I even started using opks!

Still crossing fingers for everyone else.

Got a definitive BFP this morning! Here's hoping it sticks (I've had a previous chemical). 🎉

Also, totally meant to edit that photo to remove all the background stuff... Pregnancy brain strikes early

Congratulations @Hullabaloowho ! Lovely news!!

Aoife0906 · 12/09/2021 13:19

Congratulations @Hullabaloowho

I am 9dpo today (as far as I know) and just been feeling a bit off, headachy and I don't really suffer from them normally so took a test even though I swore I wouldn't! And look.... definitely a faint line there.. I'm a bit shocked!

@hullabaloowho yay! And well done for sticking to your plan to wait until Sunday!

@aoife0906 that is a very clear line!! Congratulations!

Let's hope the rest of us are also as lucky 🤞🏼

Congratulations! First cycle conception is crazy quick after your first took a year!

whatsthecraic91 · 12/09/2021 17:22

Flip me congratulations to you both @Aoife0906 & @Hullabaloowho this is great news!!

@Aoife0906 was it your first cycle trying too? After you saying last night you weren't feeling it 😆

Aoife0906 · 12/09/2021 18:05

Thanks!!
Yes it is our first cycle, I feel we got super lucky as I really didn't think our timing was that great. I know it's funny yesterday I thought this cycle was definitely a no no but something about this headache just made me feel a bit suspicious. Kind of can't believe it to be honest I didn't think it would happen so soon. I don't feel anything apart from headache, I had cramps and more symptoms with my first which I think is why I felt like this month wasn't to be.

Goodgoodthings · 12/09/2021 19:45

Congrats @Aoife0906 and @Hullabaloowho ! So lovely to see some BFPs rolling in already and hopefully we'll soon see more in this thread 🤩

I finally got a flashing smiley this morning so hoping to see a static soon. Despite the stress and probably definitely doing some of the tests wrong 😑 I'm feeling more hopeful knowing that my hormones are doing something at least.

PartyPotato · 12/09/2021 19:55

@Aoife0906 congratulations!! How exciting all these BFPs!

Mim21 · 12/09/2021 20:05

Aww @Aoife0906 congratulations! 🎉

CBB2021 · 12/09/2021 21:00

Congratulations @Aoife0906

Two BFPs already! Let’s hope this is a lucky thread!

whatsthecraic91 · 12/09/2021 22:18

@Aoife0906 first cycle too! Amazing! Hoping this is a lucky thread 🙏🏼🤞🏼

GreenFlipFlop · 12/09/2021 22:33

@Hullabaloowho @Aoife0906 Congratulations guys!! Love seeing a positive result! Fingers crossed there'll be more of us in the coming months!!

wegoagain · 12/09/2021 22:39

I've checked back over all my old cycles and AF usually comes 11dpo for me with spotting 10dpo, so if no spotting on Weds, think I might break and test on Thurs (if I can even wait that long 😂)

CBB2021 · 13/09/2021 06:20

I cracked this AM and tested 😩 think I’m 11 dpo and its BFN. I don’t know why I did it to myself?! Now I feel deflated but I know it’s only second cycle so that’s stupid!

I definitely don’t feel like it’s been our month so not all that surprised but it’s still a bit gutting.

Hullabaloowho · 13/09/2021 06:50

Oh congratulations @Aoife0906 !!!

@wegoagain crossing fingers for you too.

whatsthecraic91 · 13/09/2021 12:37

@CBB2021 oh so sorry 😞 it's so hard not to cave and test. Don't keep tests in the house so no temptation!

CBB2021 · 14/09/2021 07:22

AF has also turned up early 😩

But at least that means I can look forward to cycle 3!

Good luck to all those testing! Let us know how you get on!

Mim21 · 14/09/2021 09:09

@CBB2021 sorry to hear about the arrival of AF! Fingers crossed for 3rd time lucky!

I'm around the 7DPO mark so just hopped about the silly symptom spotting wagon again, had some very mild cramps but i had this last month too so fully expecting this month to be the same, also keep pressing my boobs as that was one of my first symptoms last time, i reckon they started being sore around 9dpo last time.

whatsthecraic91 · 14/09/2021 09:12

@CBB2021 aww so sorry about AF!!

12DPO today and feeling a bit thrushy. Don't know if it's a sign or not 🤷‍♀️

wegoagain · 14/09/2021 09:42

On with cycle 3 @cbb2021, pour yourself a wine tonight!

I am feeling very periody today so just on knicker watch every time I have a wee now for the spotting to start!
