April TTC Baby #2

[Firsttimetrier]

Feelings very exciting to be back on here as we will be TTC baby number 2 this month and had some lovely support from this board with baby number 1!

We were very lucky the first time around and fell pregnant on the first cycle. This is making me slightly anxious for this time around as I don’t know if we will be as lucky.

So, wanted to see if anyone else is in the same position and would like to have support along the way.

Welcome! Best of luck for you for this cycle. Really hope it does work out but remember it's totally normal to not happen first month, so try not to put too much pressure on yourself this month xx

Joining! Second month for us and second child. Have fallen into a very unhealthy lifestyle due to life stress, so need to cut wine and junk food right down, and be more mindful about my mental health. Very aware that stress can stop conception and really, really want to be pregnant now 😭

Hello!

TTC number 2 😊 number one was also conceived on first cycle...now entering cycle 9 for next one 🫣 didn't expect it to take this long but here we are!

Hello! Month 5 TTC number 2 for us. Got my peak today so fingers crossed

Hi! We're on cycle 10. DC1 was 6 cycles and then another pregnancy last summer which was conceived first go but ectopic.

This cycle I've started taking CoQ10 and Omega3 as I've read these can increase chances especially when over 35 (I'm 38). Taking half doses of both to start with (300mg CoQ10 and 200mg DHA), then if it doesn't mess with my cycle will increase next month. Also if this isn't our cycle I'll have a Hycosy next month and will look at acupuncture.

Thanks @moosey89 we’ve both agreed we’ll try to be relaxed about it and not put any pressure on ourselves but definitely hard when we were successful the first cycle last time! Fully preparing myself it could take months this time.

@tresmal I’ve also relaxed on healthy eating and wine, so need to cut these out too! After a long day with the toddler, we fall into the habit of ordering a takeaway as we’re too exhausted to cook 😬.

@Fairy0708 I hope this month is your month! I can imagine it feels quite hard when it happened so quickly last time, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Ontheflipside_ hope this is the month for you too! I’m still waiting for AF to arrive (should have been today but no appearance so far and we didn’t DTD during my ovulation week last month?!) and I’d quite like to get over this period of waiting so we can get trying! Forgotten how much waiting was involved in this!

@Confusedddddddd that reminds me, I started taking conception vitamins the cycle before last time, so I hope it works for you too!

Trying for #3, lost twins at birth before this so waiting to bring a healthy baby home.

I'm 4dpo. This is cycle 4. Normally I wouldn't worry but with everything I'm panicking I won't get pregnant again.

Wishing everyone luck here.

I'm taking proceive, and omega 3. Using preseed and doing smep

The waiting is the worst isn't it! Especially when you know you likely didn't conceive. Have you taken a test today just in case?

So sorry to hear about the loss of your twins

Officially counting today as 1dpo! Let the symptom spotting commence 😂

Went and got a test this morning only for AF to arrive! Glad it’s here though!
