Hi everyone, it’s my first post on mumsnet, I spent a LOT of time reading through these threads when ttc my son and they helped so much.

Now I’m back ttc my second and it is only our second cycle and I am already much more desperate for it to happen than I was the first time around with my son 3 years a go.

I think it’s because it took us 10 cycles to conceive my son and I’m already heartbroken over it potentially taking that long (or longer) this time around.

Anybody else out there ttc their second baby and feeling the same anxiety? I swear I drove myself mad last cycle, it’s no wonder it happened really, I was borderline insane with googling, symptom spotting and even poas as early as 4dpo Confused

@has30

Sorry about TMI but I've got yellow discharge, I'm talking like mustard yellow! Doesn't smell, no signs of infection. Any one any ideas haha?? How's everyone doing?
This could be group b strep, you need to go get a swap at the doctors.
has30 · 12/11/2021 20:31

@Kiaa 6dpo for me. Nothing to report here either apart from my yellow discharge haha! I think I'll book a gp appointment after everyone's advice thank you all!

kmbegs · 12/11/2021 21:50

@Kiaa thank you, fingers crossed for you as well. Please let November be our month!! Re testing, honestly it's hard to imagine AF won't come on Monday (or spotting before which lets me know it's coming) so hard to even imagine I'll get to testing, but fingers (and everything else) crossed.

Kiaa · 12/11/2021 22:54

@has30 good idea best to get checked hopefully last week goes fast for us 😀

Kiaa · 12/11/2021 22:59

@kmbegs aww thank you 😀
Yes I really hope so 🤞sending positive vibes your way 🌟

Kiaa · 14/11/2021 21:30

When you decide to test only to get a indent and more confused 🤦‍♀️had a temperature spike tho
Anyone testing this week ?

Borolass84 · 15/11/2021 20:08

@Kiaa I was due AF yesterday. Still no sign so I’m testing end of the week if still no show.

has30 · 15/11/2021 20:27

@Kiaa I'm due AF on Sunday so will be testing at some point. To be honest not feeling very optimistic have no symptoms... how are you?

Kiaa · 16/11/2021 00:59

@Borolass84 fingers crossed for you 🤞

Kiaa · 16/11/2021 01:04

@has30 yes same now I only have headaches and having to wee more Af is due Thursday so I will just wait I think

Borolass84 · 16/11/2021 09:26

Pretty much the same @Kiaa and @has30 apart from needing to wee more often but not sure if that’s true as I have an overactive bladder anyway! Also got sore nipples which is a new thing for me. good luck to you both

Kiaa · 16/11/2021 21:06

@Borolass84 hopefully a good sign for you let us know how you go x

Borolass84 · 16/11/2021 21:26

Will do@Kiaa

has30 · 18/11/2021 07:50

@Kiaa and @Borolass84 any news from you both?

Kiaa · 18/11/2021 09:00

@has30 sorry no good news bfn :( still waiting for Af now
how you going? x

has30 · 18/11/2021 09:55

@Kiaa sorry to hear that. I bet you're like me where you'll be due AF right around Christmas Day next month!!
I'm due AF Sunday, I've no symptoms whatsoever so I've not been tempted to test early. If I get to Monday without AF showing then I'll do a test.

Kiaa · 18/11/2021 11:17

@has30 it's ok I think I'm used to it now it gotta be when we least expect it right
Yes next month af near Xmas week only thing is my partner is going away for work next fertile week not feeling lucky

I really hope to hear some good news from you 🤞💫

Borolass84 · 18/11/2021 12:06

@has30 AF came yesterday Sad Read about hot tubs and fertility. We stopped using ours beginning of October and won’t be using over winter so see if we can rule that out. Going for last lot of bloods at 1.30pm and still waiting on OH SA results too.

@Kiaa sorry to hear about bfn

Kiaa · 18/11/2021 21:04

@Borolass84 sorry to hear about Af
I've actually heard the hot tub thing before hopefully not using it for a while will help x

Borolass84 · 18/11/2021 21:06

@kiaa Yeah says any damage can be rectified in 6 months so hoping this helps

has30 · 18/11/2021 22:09

@Borolass84 sorry to hear this. Hot tubs are awful aren't they! Hopefully it will help not going in it over the next few months

Borolass84 · 18/11/2021 23:01

@has30 yes; we don’t go in over winter as it’s too cold so ideal time to test the theory ha

WingingIt101 · 19/11/2021 21:20

@has30 I’ve not seen those tests before - dare I ask if that’s a bfp?!?!
