TTC #2

[Eatsleepbakerepeat]

I've noticed a lot of us TTC number 2 and struggling after getting pregnant fairly easily with number 1!
Thought I'd start a thread so we can all support each other 💕💕

I definitely see a line 😍😍😍

Hopefully this little one sticks 🤞how are you doing? X

That one is definitely darker so they are progressing 😍 I was the same with my daughter. I never tested until AF was due!
Same, I promise myself I wont symptom spot but by 7dpo I think everything is related to pregnancy!
I’m doing ok thank you, my boobs are sore and I’ve had an increase in CM (sorry tmi🙈) but other than that nothing. I’m sure the symptoms will follow 😂 how about you? X

How are you getting on?

@Eatsleepbakerepeat @cheeseycrumpets thank you so so much 🥰 how are you ladies getting on?

@mamataylor Ah I've been getting myself into a right state not seeing any progress but I think I'm definitely seeing a little bit today! A bit like you, my boobs have been so so sore, I couldn't even wear a proper bra today, hoped a sports bra would give me a bit of respite 😆 been feeling a little queasy, and also been having slight cramps which hasn't filled me with joy as one app says I'm a day late whilst the other is telling me I'm due tomorrow - took another test this evening and it's made me feel a bit better 🙈 hope you have the nicest symptoms! 🥰

When is AF due?
You planning on testing every other day?

I'm I a bit of a pickle this month, CP last month and negative test x 3 before we started trying again, currently CD 17 and tonight I picked up a HCG instead of LH and to my absolute shock it was positive (picture attached) so I have no idea, it's not physically possible to be pregnant so I have no idea whats happening
Planning in calling my GP and EPU tomorrow hopefully they'll scan me, I'm wondering if I have cysts producing hcg but not sure how common that is?!

It's a bit weird this month if I'm honest, I usually ovulate CD23-26 but this month it was CD20 with a really sudden surge that went away so quickly so it's thrown me off completely. I do usually get my period about 11 days after ovulating so going off that, today. But then Premom is telling me yesterday, Flo is saying tomorrow. I think I'm gonna give it to the end of the week before letting myself get my hopes up. That way I'm definitely late lol. I was originally planning every other day but definitely haven't managed to stick to it 🫣

I was going to suggest it's maybe left over HCG from your chemical? But I remember you had a period so I'm not sure if that's possible? That is an odd one! Definitely a good call contacting EPU, I know every hospital is different but I found them great when I was having problems in my last pregnancy. I've never actually heard about cysts causing that so would be interesting to read into it. Keeping everything crossed for you getting answers xx

Try not to read into the progression (I wish I’d take my own advice)!

I absolutely love going braless, pregnant or not so I know the feeling 😂
I remember with my daughter I had period type cramps up until 5 or so weeks so I’m sure that’s normal.
thank you lovely - I hope you have it breezy too. I had nasty morning sickness for 22 weeks with my daughter so hoping this time is a bit easier 🤞

Eek! It's looking good then! 🤞 for you, sendingnso much baby dust!!

I plan on calling in the morning , they're shut now which Is anightmare cos I just want answers haha
So apparently its really rare so who knows, even more confused :(

@Eatsleepbakerepeat It's horrible isn't it! The first time I had to call them was on a Sunday evening - apparently much like retail, they have Sunday hours too!
Hopefully they'll be able to do a scan to determine what's happening. I'm sorry for asking, but are you 100% you're not pregnant? I know you said you had a period but I bled all throughout my pregnancy first time round (wasn't AF but sometimes it did appear that way!). I can't think of any other logical explanation, other than what you said but that seems so so rare!
Whatever the outcome, be kind to yourself. You deserve it, you're doing great x

Have you done another test today 🤞

The waiting is awful isn't it! Hoping the GP/ them are helpful!
I fully think my CP was real and complete as I had negative tests after also lines are faint for it to be 6 weeks which is where I would be
I wonder if I ovulated early, CD 9 or 10, that would make sense and can happen post CP or if there is something wrong and something producing HCG in my body. I've booked a GP appointment and going to call EPU with a hope someone can help/ scan today! So time will tell

Hope you get some answers today 🤞 sending you lots of luck. It’s definitely not unheard of to ovulate that early so hope it’s good news for you! X

We're our own worst bloody enemy aren't we 🙄🤣 at least being pregnant throughout summer gives you the perfect excuse to not wear one haha
I'm sure I had cramps last time too but I honestly wasn't expecting to actually be pregnant so didn't think too much of it! Ohhh I feel you on the morning sickness, it's absolutely awful. Hopefully won't have any of that! Makes it so much harder to hide too 🫠

I did! Told myself I was going to take it easy and not test so much but just can't help myself. I've attached a pic x

Oh I'm so sorry you're having a tough time. Hopefully today will bring some answers for you 🤞🏻 it is also likely to ovulate early like @mamataylor said. Wishing you lots of luck! ❤️

Good luck @Eatsleepbakerepeat. I hope you're getting seen soon x

What dpo are you! That line is certainly there! Eek

I had 3 negative tests after CP so think that is so unlikelySpoke to EPU this morning and they're getting me in for a scan tomorrow, my scan in January was clear so I don't have any crazy tumours like I convinced myself last night! But they aren't sure if it's from my April cycle or my may cycle, I bled on 6th April and 6th May classed them both as AF one post CPI think I could have ovulated early cos I do remember thinking my CM was different but didn't think much of it and my BTT has been low so thought nothing of it! But who knowsThe midwife said I'm clearly pregnant hut they need to figure out when and whereSo tomorrow they'll scan and do HCG bloodsI'm trying to not get excited whilst keeping everything crossed

My fingers are really crossed for youm @Eatsleepbakerepeat. I hope you've got an early scan tomorrow!

I'm 1DPO today, I think. Early again, but I had a higher test yesterday morning and they've been low since. BBT went up today too, so I think it happened yesterday. Thankfully did celebrate going for a run yesterday with sex, so hopefully that's covered us for this month 😆

Oh massively 🙃
I really wasn’t expecting this month to be our month either but it definitely happens when you least expect it! To top it off I have a hen do this weekend. Not sure what my excuse for not having a few drinks will be 😂
Yes it does - there’s only so long you can have a ‘sickness bug’ for, am I right?! 😂

It’s fab they are getting you in so soon! Keeping everything crossed that it’s good news x

@Eatsleepbakerepeat
12dpo now I believe! Think it's starting to set in a little now 😅

Oh that's exciting, I'm so glad they're getting you in tomorrow. It's the waiting around that makes it so difficult isn't it! Keeping everything crossed for you, please do keep us updated 🥰

I had such a crazy cycle this month I for sure thought I was out, was a bit poorly and life was so busy so didn't even take full advantage of fertile week (not that I expected it as that came early!), when we were trying for #1 I got my positive the same month I was insistent I wanted to take a break for a short while 🥴 so you're definitely right about the timing of it all!

I've been wondering this myself as I have a wedding to go to in a couple weeks time. I think I'm going to go with 'on a course of antibiotics' unless some other logical answer springs to mind!

Sometimes that’s what’s needed I guess! Previously I’ve been so caught up in it all and the cycle I’ve been much more relaxed about it.

yes that’s a good one. I may give that a go 😂 I’ll report back on whether it works 🤪 x

@Eatsleepbakerepeat so glad they’re getting you in quickly so you’re not in limbo! It’s the waiting and uncertainty that’s the hardest, isn’t it? I’m keeping everything crossed for you ❤️

I’m 11dpo and leaving on our holiday today! I’ve decided not to test this month and just let things arrive when they do. I’ve done lots of silly symptom spotting but almost everything could also be explained by the nasty cold I have this week…
