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 😩

I did a test this evening.
I think I hadn't been to the loo in 3 hours but honestly can't be sure 😂😂
I only had cheap clear and simple tests in, I didn't realise I was out of the sensitive internet cheapies.

I'm 99% sure it's a BFN.. but I keeo getting tired line eyes that think they see something 🙄

Ahhhh! Maybe wait a couple more days and then see what happens! Hoping it is going to be positive for you!!!!!

Well see... I has a quick scan through hubs Nd i's texts and I think it's been 16days since we last had sex. And I'm reckoning 13/14dpo based on when I propositioned him but he was sick and then I was sick so wasnt a good month for us 😂😂
The BFN this evening isn't giving me much hope!
I'll wait and test again Saturday before this wedding

If not least you can let your hair down for the wedding and have some drinks without worry!!

oh gosh, yeah being ill really doesn’t help things does it! There’s a lot going around at the moment I’m finding!

@MrsB902 yes I ovulate all different times of cycle too. Never on same cycle date

So another month with a longer than expected cycle.
I'm cd 30, no sign of my period and the clear and simple dip test I took first thing was negative.

It's weird I'll have a few 30+ day cycles and then I'll go back to 26 day cycles and then back to longer ones. Very frustrating!

I popped my mooncup on so I don't have to worry about weather or not AF will show herself today. I'm all dolled up. Wedding ceremony was beautiful, bride was stunning and I'm going to let me hair down and get shit faced this evening 😂😂😂

@SkaterChick same! It’s so frustrating when cycles are like that, even with lots of supplements to regulate it. Mines have a 7 day variation which is apparently still normal but still ugh

Incredibly fustrati.ng
I just got home and popped Mt mooncup out and it's empty 🤷🏼 just a miz of clear and milky discharge in there.

Sooo still no period.i has no tests left today 😅 so I'll pick some up shortly

No period and test this morning was definitely a BFN.
Still no period.
I'm CD33 and it's approaching around 3 weeks since ovulation so I'll put money on me not being pregnant and just having some weird long cycle.

Oh noo! Just sooo annoying and a rollercoaster! How many cycles are you TTC again? I just find it all very draining.

Hey all

I've been reading on and off! Can't remember if I previously posted but...

I'm 35, been TTC number 2 since July 2023! I concieved my DS at 31 on cycle 1(😱).

I've had a range of blood tests, scans, hubby SA. Once I passed 12 months it's almost like a weight has lifted. I now just expect AF. I still get down and sad but praying it will happen when it's meant to be. My gorgeous boy had a tough few years medically but is all good now and if it means I have to hang on for another child that is hopefully healthy this time then I'll take it.

Basically my point is I do think after a while the stress/countdowns/overthinking does start to dwindle. I stopped tracking (actually through my cb sticks in bin).

Let's hope we all fall into the category that it just sometimes take time xxx

CD34 and still no period.
23 since we last dtd (between work trips and illness it just hasn't been our month 😂)
Based on that I would be a min of 18dpo?

At what point should I be worried my period hasn't shown up 😂

So I haven't been on contraception since ds was born in 22.
I had a coil fitted but it perforated my womb and wasn't doing it's job. I had surgery to remove it at started the year so we've been "trying" since march

Positive or faulty? 😬
Unsure cause of the pink dye left and DS distracted me so there's a chance a peed on the window 😂😂😂😂
Got a second test I'll take in the morning

😮😮 please keep us updated!!!! fingers crossed 🙏 xx

Well this is extremely disappointing 😭
Total BFN this morning so fuck knows why my period is so bloody late.

This is very frustrating! I was holding out hope for you!! I tested negative too so I am right with you for the next cycle!! Although I am unsure of when my period is due as one app says tomorrow and the next says next week so we shall see when I actually start!

I took another test this evening after holding wee for 4 hours, also negative. Very disappointing and frustrating.
Guess I've just got to wait and see if my period does show up? I hate not being able to just move onto the next cycle and crack on.
Probably going back to tracking next month ....

Fingers crossed it may just be too early for you xx x

Oh I’m so sorry 😔 I really hope you get the answer one way or another very soon!

My temperature is round down so AF is coming any minute! Xx

I've ever tracked my temp but I might do next month. All depends on if I remember too 😂

I've got some cramps this morning so maybe AF is finally on the way.

I will stop temping next month as I feel it adds to anxiety when you feel the temperature isn’t going the right way etc!!

Has anyone had their period without ovulating ? Super weird month for me.
I always get strong ovulation pain, its usually crippling , a few days before ovulation but this month at cd 35 started spotting for few hours, stopped disappeared few days then back spotting for few days and yesterday full flow. I wasn't even aware I'd ovulated. My surges aren't fast , they occur over a full day so I've never missed my lh surge before. My previous cycles since #1 were perfect

Worried as been here before! Third time this year!!!

Ahhh @NattyPeer very very tentatively keeping everything crossed for you!

Been keeping an eye over here...

Sorry your cycles are playing up @SkaterChick it's so frustrating when you don't have certainty about what's going on ❤️

Thank you!!! How are you doing?!!!
