TTC BABY NO 2

[Stilltobeseen]

So we have finally made the leap and have started trying for baby number 2. It's only cycle one, I've either just ovulated or just about to and I'm already so over it 🤣
It took 7 months to conceive our first and I hated every minute of that journey. I know it's not that long compared to others so of course I'm very grateful but it felt like a century.
So here we go again. I promised myself I wasn't going to use opks etc this month...I ended up using them on CD12 (now CD14) so started a little late but I was just curious. We've been doing the BD plenty since CD10 so if I've already ovulated then we are covered.
However. I've got verrrry strong positives on the opk this morning and yesterday morning which seem to fade as the day goes on. They aren't quite peak so not sure if I'm on my way to a peak or coming down from one. My CM would say I've already ovulated but then again who freaking knows.
Cycle 1 and I'm already an insane person. This is the part of ttc and bringing another human into the world that I've been dreading. I feel like I've slipped right back into that ttc mindset from before my DD...its horrible.
I promised myself I wouldn't be like this again but here I am.

I'm exactly the same! I seem to have become addicted to peeing on sticks straight away. Waiting for ovulation peak, there's actually been a line today and yesterday which seems to be getting darker so fingers crossed. Cycle1 here, but got pregnant straight away with DC1 so feeling like I need to prepared just in case

Hi ladies, room for one more? Darling son is 2 next month. This is cycle one for baby no 2. Day 1 post positive opk. Of course today DH has man flu so I’m not holding much hope!!

Me too, welcome along 😂 Cycle number 4 for me here and we conceived on the third cycle last time, literally threw the kitchen sink and more at it last time so started off thinking since I already have an 18 month old I wouldn’t be trying too hard and was in no rush. Month 4 and there I’ve just taken 4 different vitamins in my nightly cocktail after an opk before bed 😂😂

Someone at work just announced she’s pregnant and had her 12 week scan last week. I was delighted for her and everyone was saying congratulations etc but I so couldn’t help but think omg I tried that month too but while I was gutted AF had arrived, you must have been getting a positive test. You’ve only had to hold that news in from then til now, I’ve been keeping this a secret all that time and I’m not even bloody pregnant yet! 🙄😩 It’s so easy to feel like that though! Who knows they could have been trying months before me!

@Nic2908 aww I have a little boy too 😊 Have you managed to try much before today? I’m sure you’ll be fine to miss it

Room for one more?! My little girl is 1 next week and we are on cycle two. I’ve killed my way through tons of OPKs and took an early test this morning at either 7 or 9 dpo - negative. I know it was too early to rest really. It’s such a draining process already I’m worried how I will be in 6/7 months time let alone longer than that!

It's funny, I really thought it would mentally be easier this time around because I already have a wonderful little girl...nope 🤣

Hey, can I join? I’m on cycle 1 of TTC #2. My little girl is one next weekend. I’m 5dpo today, and I’m dying for it to be Sunday/Monday so I can take a test. We only managed to do it on peak test ovulation day and ovulation day as my my husband and I were ill(I would have happily done it more regardless 😂) really hoping we did it enough. My husband keeps saying it’s not as much of an issue if we don’t conceive quickly as we already have our daughter but I still feel that need to get pregnant asap. I must be mental!

I have one more period to go and then we'll start trying in the new year. I have a little girl who is 16 months.

It took us a year last time so I'm really trying not to get my hopes up for a quick conception this time but it's hard not to! I think I understand my body and my cycles a bit better now plus I also think I had a touch of endo pre pregnancy as my periods are so much better now than they were before I got pregnant. Hopefully this all helps me get my BFP a bit quicker!

I also told myself we would take it easy the first few cycles but I've just ordered opk's from amazon so that's that out of the window.

Opk negative today so still not entirely sure when I ovulated or if I ovulated as I started testing late 😵‍💫 have BD loads. Seriously need a break today so missing today and going again tomorrow just for fun. I'm almost 100% sure ovulation is over going by CM but who knows, weirder things have happened 🤣
And so begins the TWW. Period is pretty regular between 27-30 days but averages at 28/29 days most months so I'm definitely in the right window of time.
Why is ttc so confusing 😕

Can I join?? This is me too. We are starting next cycle. I'm trying so hard to relax because I became a ttc monster the first time around but its all so stressful and intense. I ovulate pretty early in my cycle so just going to aim for then. I haven't bought any opk or pt yet but I did order a new set of lingerie to try to grease the wheels a bit. We've got a 15 month old so getting in the mood takes a little extra magic...

@WolfMother326 I’m with you with the needing a bit of magic. After a day chasing our little one around I just want to get into my fluffiest pjs and veg out!
