TTC #2

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 😩

Going out to buy a clear blue or something cause I don't believe it 😅

Ahh everything crossed for you 🤞

Clear blue was BFN 🤷🏼
But I did fuck up and forgot I had a wee on the way out the house so I'd only held the wee for maybe 2 hours but would have expected at least a faint line if I was preggo.
Grabbed some Sainsbury's tests and I'll try one of those in the morning. Didn't wanna get another spenny test tbh!

How confusing. What about testing again tomorrow and then making a GP appointment?

Clear blue was BFN.
I just held my wee for 4 hours and took another internet cheapy and an early result rest I found at the pharmacy. And they're both negative 😭

I'll test in the morning but I don't think the GP would do much.
When my period was late before they didn't care.

Aw @SkaterChick sounds like it might have been a CP then ☹️ hopefully I’m wrong though 🤞

LemonBitter · 12/01/2025 21:35

Sorry @SkaterChick that's so frustrating 😞

SkaterChick · 13/01/2025 07:29

Two more bfn this morning so I think that test was a false positive for whatever reason 😭

Also did an opk and after peaking yesterday morning they are now getting fainter so for some reason I had an LH surge

Maybe my period will show up? Maybe in back in a tww.

I've got a drs appointment that's unrelated on Tuesday so I'll mention it then and see if they have any insight

Hey. It’s so frustrating and upsetting too. I agree mentioning it to the dr won’t do any harm. Hopefully they’ll have some ideas.

SkaterChick · 14/01/2025 17:27

Still no period and the drs cancelled my appointment until next week annoyingly

SarahB88 · 14/01/2025 18:27

@SkaterChick urgh that’s so annoying that they’ve rescheduled you!! It’s fairly urgent.

No sign of AF for me, I would have started spotting yesterday or today if she was going to arrive on time so I’m really hoping this is a good sign. Got a digital test lined up to do on Thursday but the temptation to test tomorrow is so real!!

Oo that's so exciting. Fingers crossed for you xxx

SkaterChick · 15/01/2025 18:07

@SarahB88 did you end up testing?!

SarahB88 · 15/01/2025 18:10

SkaterChick · 15/01/2025 18:07

@SarahB88 did you end up testing?!

I did but I’m only 10DPO so it was a BFN 🙈 clear blue website does say Thursday is the earliest their tests will show a result for me. Still zero sign of AF so I’ll be testing again in the morning provided she doesn’t spring up over night.

That’s rubbish of them. Any change?
I’m 7 dpo today, thought I felt implantation cramps for a couple of days but yesterday had some results back for some other investigations and the results really aren’t great. Maybe need to stop and focus on getting that under control and put ttc to the side for a bit :( sad really because I don’t think we’ve really got “a bit”

I'm sorry to hear that, hope you're okay

In cd45. No period. No signs of it.
I've had more mild cramping and some on / off left sided pain all day so who knows what's going on

SarahB88 · 15/01/2025 18:16

@SkaterChick how are you getting on? Any changes?

SkaterChick · 15/01/2025 18:40

SarahB88 · 15/01/2025 18:16

@SkaterChick how are you getting on? Any changes?

Nothing. No period, I stopped testing. Had some mild cramping and left sided pains

SarahB88 · 15/01/2025 19:10

@SkaterChick hopefully you can get some tests arranged when you finally get your GP appointment.

Diamond89 · 17/01/2025 20:52

Any updates?

SarahB88 · 17/01/2025 21:27

Looks like AF has come for me but it’s all very stop and start, deffo not implantation bleeding as there was a few small clots so either a light one this month or just taking time for the flood gates to open 😂 I’m going to take a step back next month and not do OPKs or look on the threads. I’ve got a massage and a facial booked during my next fertile period so looking forward to those and will prob book some stuff for the TWW too.

Ah hope you’re ok. Massage and facial sound like a great plan. I’m CD22 and don’t feel any different. I normally start spotting a couple of days before but if I’ve not I’m going to have to test Tues or Weds as I’ve got a CT scan and you can’t have them whilst pregnant. I really don’t think it will be positive and I think we’ll probably have to have a break from ttc to have treatment. Hopefully a break rather than calling it a day but I’ll soon find out.
