TTC #2 7DPO

[Yrmyfavourite]

Hello,

LO is 2yo this month and we have been actively TTC #2 since June. I have PCOS and it took us 5 years to conceive DD so, I am desperately praying that it doesn't take too long this time.

I am 7DPO and dyyying to take a test because, I just feel like I am. However, I've not a single symptom to back this theory up and we only had sex once during my fertile window because, I have been unwell. In fact, I could even have my ov date wrong as, due to being unwell, I didn't keep up with testing.

Yesterday, DD came over to me and put her hand on my shoulder and said 'Mummy poorly?' I said 'Ahh, yes but, I'm okay now'. She then gave me a cuddle and said 'Got a baby sister, Mummy?' I have no idea where she got this from but, she continued to say it over and over giggling away to herself. Obviously, she has just heard this from someone at nursery or something but, the optimist in me wants to believe that she just knows. I know it sounds silly! She's obsessed with babies and I can't wait for the day we introduce her to her new sibling.

Anyway, I digress! Anyone else waiting to test or, have any PCOS success stories to share to make the wait less agonising! x

Aw your DD is so cute! Fingers crossed she gets a little sibling soon enough!

I really love your optimism and your positive energy, and I will try to be more positive about the whole ttc journey too!

I have PCOS as well, but I'm still trying for DC1, now with IVF I hope I will have success soon.

Fingers crossed you're actually pregnant, when are you going to test?

Hi @IsabelHerna,

Thanks for the reply! Aw, thank you. She's a little darling

It was difficult to be optimistic first time around, in all honesty but, this time I am trying to be as positive as I can as, I think the stress of it all only prolonged it for me last time. DD is actually our rainbow baby She was conceived pretty quickly after I miscarried.

I am now 12dpo and wondering whether to wait until AF is due as, I'm getting that sinking feeling and I'm a bit scared now!

How is it going with IVF? Hopeful for your BFP soon xx

Ahh that’s so cute! I hope it’s a sign for you.

No PCOS but also 7dpo TTC #2. Took us 13 cycles to conceive DS. This is our third cycle of trying and I’m obsessing with POAS each cycle this time which I never did when TTC#1.

Hi @Charl881!

Fingers crossed for you

I have been obsessing with it, too this time around! There seems to be more pressure, even though it took longer last time. I think I just don't want a big age gap so, worry if it takes another 5 years, they will be miles apart!

I'm now 13dpo and feel a bit crampy/headachey so, glad I didn't early test as, I think AF is incoming. Maybe DD wasn't so intuitive this time, bless her.

@Yrmyfavourite yeah I feel the same about the age gap thing! I keep telling myself we’re just trying casually until next year but I’m just not being very causal in the TWW!

Aw good luck for this month. I think I’m 6dpo today. I have pcos and an under active thyroid. We have a 4 yr old who was a complete surprise, I knew we were blessed with her but now after trying for 9 months and having 2 back to back chemical pregnancies (didn’t even know what this was before mumsnet) I really realise how lucky we were! I stupidly tested today ( I know I know) and got a veeeeeery faint line of frer but probably just an evap.as 6dpo is surely impossible. When do you plan on testing? Hope your daughter is right for you with her prediction 💚X

Just seen that your post is from the 1st Oct @Yrmyfavourite, did you test? X

Hi @K8tee,

Sorry for the late update. I’m now a few days overdue for AF but, still testing negative I occasionally get unusually long cycles because of my pcos so, I think there lies the blame. Wish I had kept up with ovulation testing last month to be sure!

Ahh wow, fingers crossed for you! Have you tested again?

X

Have you tested again? How are you getting along?

Hi @IsabelHerna,

I tested again this morning and definite negative but, still no AF! I'm pretty sure it's just PCOS messing with me and a long cycle but, just want AF to show up now so I can get on with it!

How are you?

AF is here! See you next month
