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 😩

Still no period. Still BFN.
Feel like I'm in a cruel repeat of last month.

Oh me too... My period isn't due until Saturday though!

It's going to be ok ❤️

It's the torture of the spotting and then nothing.
My period is due Friday according to my app.

At least I'm not nauseas and vomiting yet 😅
Just bloated and crampy.

Onto cycle 2 for #2 for me. CD4, still feeling positive

@beansread @SkaterChick seems like our cycles are really similar. I’m due Sunday. Super crampy, and rhr extremely low so just waiting now 😮‍💨

Ahh yeah we must be!

I'm feeling much the same... cramps, boobs, acne and all negatives! 🤪

Still no period. No more spotting. Don't really have cramps anymore either.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up as yesterday was definitely a BFN.
I haven't tested this morning. My period is due tomorrow so if nothing in the morning I'll test then.

Can I join? Been trying for #2 for 5 cycles, I’m 38 so time isn’t on my side. DC 1 is 3 and I wish we had started trying earlier. Had all the tests and AMH not great for my age- 5.4. I’m 10dpo and think I’m out again, BFN this morning when with DC1 I had a strong BFP by now, no symptoms at all. Can’t help thinking it’s just not going to happen…

It is such a cruel journey! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! The spotting could have been implantation.

it’s just a rollercoaster!

I haven't tested today yet.
Im 12dpo. Period due tomorrow.
I don't have any sensitive tests left either. Just some clear and simple dip twats which I think don't detect until 20miu
I don't have any cramps or anything today. I'm just tired and needing to wee every 10 minutes 😅 so I'm unsure if I could even hold a wee long enough 🤣🤣🤣
If no AF in the morning I'll test then but I don't have much hope after the 5 days late débâcle last month.

ive gone slightly mad pulling rhr data from my previous pregnancy (weeks 1-4 before I knew I was pregnant) and comparing them against the last couple of months. Staring at my excel and thinking of plotting some graphs. Losing the plot for sure!!

Hello! I wish I would have started earlier too, if only we had a crystal ball! Is there anything that can be done re the AMH? Did you go privately for tests?

@NattyPeer i don’t think so, I think AMH is just biological… I should have known though, I went through puberty at 9! We did go private, our GP is great but referral times are unpredictable. So just focusing on what I can do for egg quality. DH is still so optimistic, which I find both endearing and annoying 😂

Hoping to join too if that's ok! I'm olllld but we're going to try! I had my little boy at 40 he's now 17 month's we got pregnant very quickly with him but I'm not expecting the same this time around. We've only been trying for a couple of months really although much harder to time everything with a little one! Currently 3 dpo so the dreaded wait begins 😂

Hi! I know what you mean, with my son we got pregnant on cycle 2! Just had another BFN and I’m going to be away when I ovulate next month, so it’s gonna be at least a few more months. Good luck with the 2ww! Are you taking any supplements or anything?

And AF showed this morning. So back to cd1 for me.

Eugh I think I had an ovary cyst burst (didn’t think I even had a cyst but apparently they can just appear) last month as had really bad abdominal pain with ovulation and bloating so went to GP…. He said it’ll just sort itself…. But then had period 3 days early and very heavy and now ovulation delayed (or on track with original timeline) as having negative digital CB tests. Annoying! Does everyone normally ovulate same day each month?

Oh this sounds awful- I hope you're feeling better. Are you tracking your ovulation?

I had my hormonal IUD out 4 months ago & started tracking my cycle immediately and altered my flo app to keep track. Now it seems to be like clockwork.

Last month, I was a bit obsessive so I've tried this month to calm it down a bit so randomly did a OPK one day and it was quite strong and left it as that.

😟 are you ok?

I'm pretty sure I'm coming on tomorrow as a negative test this morning. See you next month 🤞

Dip twats 😂😂🤪

I am certain I will be joining you both too! I’m only on 8dpo but I just know I’m not pregnant!

Meh, I'm disappointed. I really hate this part. But I also had pretty much no inclination to test this month so I think I just knew? Idk.
I'm in a horrid mood today but that could just be pmdd /hormones.
Can't wait to get into bed and eat a giant bar of chocolate.

Honestly though they are twats aren't they 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@SkaterChick I came on 🤪 it's official, we have the same cycle ✋

I'm in my forth cycle trying for a 👶🏼 and I think I'm finally aware of my PM symptoms now... I'm trying to keep the positive thoughts flowing!
