TTC #2

[NattyPeer]

Currently TTC number 2 and struggling after getting pregnant fairly easily with number 1 (on cycle 3)!
Thought I'd start a thread so we can all support each other. Anyone else on their TTC journey for number 2? I am currently on cycle 7 and have ruled myself out already as negative pregnancy test at 10DPO. Each month I convince myself that I am pregnant! Experienced a chemical at cycle 3 😩

@HRHXO it’s hard to stay positive at times but hoping we will be able to join soon enough 🤞

@NattyPeer got everything crossed haha, let's see tomorrow 😬

Really hope someone has chucked a load of baby dust over this thread and the positives stick and everyone else gets one! How many DPO are you now?x

@LemonBitter keep us updated 🤗

I think I am only like 2DPO if that so I have a long way to go 🤣🤣 my ovulation was later this time round due to the chemical.

yes, baby dust all round would be lovely!

@NattyPeer ahhh ok - the waiting just drags doesn't it... I will update tomorrow either way 😬 x

Hi everyone. I'm approx 2/3 dpo and trying not to symptom spot 😂😂😂

Ladies I've fully lost the plot, I'm 8dpo, stupidly tested this morning with fmu and it was completely negative so binned it. Randomly just decided to try again this evening and I've got this... it's probably just an evap, right?! Thoughts? (I know it's too early but I'm a positive addict 😩)

That was meant to say POAS addict andddd of course MumsNet ruins the quality a little 🥴 I'm probably delulu 😂

I think I've lost the plot.

I'm 3 DPO and trying not to symptom spot (I've just been telling myself that I'm moaning to make myself feel better)... HOWEVER

the breath taking cramping that feels like early onset labour pain, the heavy and really painful boobs and weirdly, I keep getting hot flushes are making sneaky little thoughts pop into my head... what if?

Please can someone tell me it's farrrr to early to have pregnancy symptoms! 😬

@HRHXO I’m afraid I’m struggling to see anything in those pics but I’ve also had a faint line today (husband agreed) which couldn’t be photographed so I know how much the camera can dampen the image.

Only thing to do is join the tomorrow morning poas gang! Fingers crossed for you

@SkaterChick welcome! How many cycles have you been ttc?

@beansread haha maybe a littleeee too early! It’s so hard not to though. Good luck for this cycle

@Mummio92 no worries, thanks for looking. My partner sees it too but isn't sure if there is colour. Oooh exciting, fingers crossed for us both I'll be testing tomorrow am but I'm nervous now!

@HRHXO ooh I can definitely see it in that latest pic! And that’s exactly what mine looked like when I was pregnant with baby #1 and tested at 9dpo so I reckon it’s probably a true line

@Mummio92 so, this is the first month we've started properly TTC.
But I had a coil fitted when my little was 4 months old. Thought everything was fine. I was getting light periods and I've never had them on coil in the past but figured everything was different post baby, hormones, breastfeeding etc.
Anyways when he was 2 I wanted it out. Took me 3 months to get seen, they couldn't find it. 3m later I finally got an x-ray and it was there but not in place. Had surgery to remove it, it has perforated my womb and was adhered to my bowels but thankfully no perm damage likely happened on insertion so I was never covered by it. So was either breastfeeding or lack of sex that stopped me getting pregnant 😂😂😂 had to wait for 2 normal cycles before ttc. They've both been short with AF arriving few days early.
Pre surgery my cycles were bang on 28days like clockwork.

@SkaterChick wow sorry to hear you’ve been through the mill with your coil, glad it hasn’t done any permanent damage. A couple of us here have found that cycles seem to go a bit haywire after a baby. Mine used to be bang on 28 too with 14 days each side and now they’re around 31 with only a 12 day luteal phase. I’ve read a bit online and there’s nothing to suggest it affects fertility, Just a matter of time. Good luck!

Pre surgery but post baby was when they were bang on 28days.
Pre baby they were alllll over the show after years on multiple coils!
But post surgery (and post breastfeeding) they're really short but I ovulate late... I got my lh peak CD15 this time round. We were only able to dtd on CD14.
So fingers crossed that was enough but hopefully from next month we can dtd more often. We unfortunately had family visiting and it just couldn't happen 😂

@HRHXO I can see something in the most recent one for sure!! As @Mummio92 says there will be a lot of POAS tomorrow 😂

@beansread it's pretty early I think implantation is from 6DPO? But tbh I have no idea wtf is going on with me so I'm not in the best position to give advice 😂 good luck!

@SkaterChick that sounds so stressful - I'm glad it hasn't done any long term damage. Hope the TWW goes quick for you, it's so horrible not having any control and just that bit!!

Morning ladies, up bright and early with my almost 2 year old and decided to test again now 9dpo. Can't quite believe it as its so early and I refuse to update any of my apps or call the GP yet, will keep testing until AF is due. Anyone else tested again this morning, I'm eager to see everyone's results 🤞

Morning everyone 😊 how’s it going?

Not looking great my end really, I can see something but no darker than yesterday so thinking chemical maybe?

Can’t do much about it I guess so will have to see what happens!

Oooooh @HRHXO that's such a good line for 9DPO!!! So exciting, keeping fingers crossed 😃

@LemonBitter it's still there, I wouldn't say chemical just yet, just keep testing to see. Fingers crossed for you and sending baby dust!

10dpo today and a darker line for me too eee!

@HRHXO that’s definitely a positive! Congratulations!

@LemonBitter I guess you can only keep testing over the next few days and see, it’s entirely possible that you’re actually a few days before af is due still but I understand not wanting to get hopes up

I can still see a line. I know it's so difficult and you don't want to get your hopes up, maybe give it a couple of days before doing another test to see if there's more noticeable progression? Where do you think you are, how many DPO? I have only just stared getting darker lines at 14 DPO yesterday and only with FMU but it's different for everyone. Some don't even get a positive until days after AF due.

Congrats to all the others who are getting positives, sending lots more baby dust to all xx

This is what I mean, only really getting noticeable yesterday x

@Mummio92 looking good, congratulations!

So excited for everyone! I feel a bit anxious having a BFP this early but hoping it sticks around, AF not due until Monday! I don't know what to do with myself lol

Congrats everyone! @NattyPeer im still here with you in the waiting game. Hanging by a thread but am encouraged by the BFPs!
