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 😩

Not exactly sure when I ovulated but based on us last dtd 18 days ago I'd be a min of 13dpo bur based on symptoms I think possible 14.
So I need to remind myself it's early doors yet.
But I feel like there is some progression on these lines.
That was the last of my cheap dip tests so I don't think I'll get anymore and torture myself over it.

They are definitely progressing! It’s really good they will see you in a couple of weeks although I understand those weeks are going to be long and hard!

Took my last at home rest this morning. I was going to wait till I was 5 weeks (tomorrow) but I couldn't wait.
Absolute dye stealer and the line came up instantly so I'm happy in that respect..

The nausea has hit already and I've started on antisickness meds

Ahhhhh congratulations @SkaterChick there's no arguing with that 😃

Sorry the sickness has hit you already though xx

SarahB88 · 01/03/2025 11:48

Aw @SkaterChick so happy for you!

AF is due on the 11th for me. This is the first month since having the CP in December that we’ve totally nailed DTD over the fertile window every second day with an extra go at the start and end in case the app was a couple of days out 😂 so we’ll just wait and see what happens now. Not going to be testing early or driving myself nuts. I’ve been doing yoga every day this cycle and have been pretty consistent with my acupressure again so feeling nice and relaxed about the whole thing. We’ve always said we’ll end up with a Xmas baby for some reason so probably feeling more confident about next month than this month tbh 🙈

Congratulations! Clear as day.
I can’t bear to test again. I’m 5 weeks 3 days and will book a scan for in 2 weeks time. Hoping for the best! 🤞

Also how did you manage to get the anti sickness tablets? I only just got some recently 😂😂

I had hyperemesis with my first pregnancy.
So I called my GP as soon as I got that faint line.
She's amazing and prescribed them ready for me 💜

Diamond89 · 07/03/2025 14:26

Hope everyone’s ok.

So I was right to be concerned about that first faint test. Started with some pains on my left side a few days ago quite high up but persistent. Went to get it checked out at the EPU this morning and the sonographer couldn’t see anything. Diagnosed PUL and can’t rule out ectopic. Had bloods and going back for repeat bloods Sunday.

How frustrating and unfair is it that some people just fly through ttc and pregnancy 😞

I am so so sorry! Hopefully it won’t be an ectopic. I had the same and was a chemical pregnancy (PUL). Sending you lots of love and hugs. It really isn’t fair at all. 😩

Sorry @Diamond89 that's so disappointing 😔 good luck tomorrow xx

Diamond89 · 09/03/2025 15:45

Thanks. First blood test HCG was 175 and I’ll hear about today’s tomorrow. Just hoping it’s not ectopic. A friend of mine who has a DD the same as as mine messaged me today to say she’s going to be a big sister too. 🙁

Hopefully it is falling! Keep us updated please. That really sucks 😩 it’s so hard when you are going through all of this xx

PG symptoms of ramped up the last couple of days which is so unfair. Cravings and my sore boobs are now unbearable. The pain I had that made me go to EPU has now completely gone too. My DH said this morning that he’s just glad it’s been found early and if I’d just ignored that pain I’d be blissfully unaware heading towards a 12w scan which is what happened last time. My body clearly isn’t great at knowing what’s going on. With my first MC it was diagnosed MMC at 12 weeks, had stopped developing at 7w but I didn’t start MC until nearer 14.

LemonBitter · 11/03/2025 20:14

Sorry @Diamond89 that's just really cruel. Your husband is right, at least you can start to process now. How are you doing?xx

NattyPeer · 14/03/2025 19:36

@Diamond89 thinking about you! How is everything? Xx

OP posts:
Diamond89 · 14/03/2025 19:57

Thanks both of you. I’m ok. Met with the consultant on Wednesday because my HCG had risen so more of an ectopic risk. I was thinking I’d have the injection until he said about the potential damage to your liver and kidneys. I’ve only recently found out that I’ve got issues with both! So just waiting it out. Back for bloods next Tues and hoping it sorts itself out quickly 🤞

@NattyPeerthank you ☺️ 41 weeks in the end, the last few weeks really dragged 🙈
Aw that’s great, have you found out what you are having?xx

MrsF111 · 15/04/2025 20:37

Hi all! Ttc number 2, had a very long and difficult journey to number 1 (multiple miscarriages) so hopefully this time it won’t be as bad, stopped breastfeeding when DS was 1 to get my periods back and then had a chemical first cycle back last month, ovulation is next week for me so everything crossed for cycle 2 🤞

MrsF111 · 22/04/2025 12:25

How is everyone getting on? Start of the TTW for me on cycle 2

NattyPeer · 07/07/2025 19:42

This group went awfully quiet! I just wanted to check in on everyone to see how you are all getting on and to see if there is any news from anyone?
