TTC #2

[L0tM0w]

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

@Borolass84 that's really great & a good plan it will happen before you know it 😀
I'm still 27 so they still won't look into it until 12 months of trying here

@L0ts flashing is high fertility & static smiley is peak
But I feel like it going on forever 😂
The last cycle I only got 5 flashing then peak
I'm also testing with cheap opks

@Kiaa we are hoping so too :) good luck to you too

How is everyone going ?
This 2ww taking forever only 4dpo

Awaiting results from bloods. OH SA results came back normal. Got gynaecology appointment via telephone on 23rd so referral to fertility clinic going ahead too :)

@Borolass84 Oh glad everything is going well & they seem to be fast forwarding the help 😀

@Kiaa think af on way :( will keep you updated on how my appointment goes

@Borolass84 aww hopefully Af stays away for you 🤞

Hi ladies, hope you’re all okay!

I’m on cycle day 12 of cycle 5 and feeling the pressure a little. We dtd this morning and it felt like such a chore 😩 Still waiting on my positive OPK!

I can see why some women take a break from ttc because it is honestly so mentally exhausting 😩 Especially when you already have a little one so you don’t have much time to relax etc. can’t remember feeling this way the first time around!

@L0ts aww sorry your feeling this way
Yes it can definitely take the fun out of it after a while of trying

Agree it is very stressful
Hopefully won't be too much longer for you xx
Ttc# 1 was a breeze I think because you don't have the pressure and don't know what to expect nothing to compare too

Omg I can't believe it's a Christmas miracle 😍
12dpo today

@Kiaa congratulations

@Borolass84 thank you lovely 😀

Hi guys, can I join?
AF arrived today, a day late and I was so hopeful so I’m gutted. We conceived our DS straight away so I don’t know what’s happening this time. Onto cycle 4 now.

Huge congratulations @Kiaa
The most gorgeous Christmas news xx

@WingingIt101 thank you hun 🥰

@Kiaa Oh my gosh!! So so happy for you! 😊❤️ What cycle was this??

@Moonshine160 Of course! Welcome! 😊 Hopefully this thread is lucky for you like it has been for so many so far!

I’m on cycle 5 of ttc baby number 2 and starting to feel like it’ll never happen 😩

@L0ts thank you lovely 🥰 it was cycle 9
Don't give up hope I know this journey can be tough sometimes but all worth it in the end
Wishing you all the best of luck 💕

Just got off phone to gynaecology department. OH results are fine despite low testosterone his sperm count motility etc all fine. My bloods are confusing; she said the bloods aren’t quite right time she said with that level I’d suspect you’re pregnant already! Which I’m not :( Going to hospital for bloods in Jan which include progesterone again, thyroid and amh. Then got to go back for stomach and internal scan. If found that I’m not ovulating, il be prescribed something for it. If no joy after trying for 2 years we get 3 free cycles of ivf as OH in military.

@Borolass84 Ergh, sorry they’ve said that! It’s not fair really because it can take even the healthiest couple up to a year to conceive! I don’t know why she would make you feel like that by telling you it should have already happened. I really would try and not worry too much about it just yet!

@Kiaa Thank you for the positivity, still so pleased for you 😊❤️

As an update for myself I am on cycle day 19 and I had positive OPKs on days 12-14 which is the exact same as last cycle, I also had a temp rise on day 15 which made me believe I’d possibly ovulated on day 14. I tested again the following day and they were negative. Anyway, I have now had 2 positive OPKs on day 18 and 19 so I’m a bit confused really as to if I’ve even ovulated? Temp is a little lower today too. Ergh this is so confusing 😩😩

@L0ts yes it was kind of reassuring at the same time so just keep trying in the meantime whilst waiting for these tests. Have a good Christmas:)

8/9dpo and bfn this morning.. stark white, not even an indent to obsess over ergh! Wish I’d not bothered 😩

@Kiaa I'm only just catching up! Massive congratulations to you!!

@has30 thank you lovely 😀 how is everything going for you ?
