Hi everyone 👋
Anyone ttc after c section? I am only 3 months PP and I don't know when we will try for another baby. I don't want to wait to long as my husband is already 46 and I am 37 in 2 months. I had 2 miscarriages before my baby and originally I was OAD but now I feel I want at least one more baby. I don't want my daughter to be alone, but also I really have baby fever 🤣 Maybe it's the hormones, but I would love to have 2 under 2, especially if we get a son, however little girl is also much wanted ♥️ I feel like I am going crazy as I am only 3 months PP and I know it's not recommended to get pregnant for at least a year. I think if I accidentally got pregnant I would be very happy 🤪

... anyone knows to get pregnant with twins? 🫢🫣🤣

Omg I wanna have twins you know i don't know why but I just loads of babies all of a sudden 😅 I'm stopping at 35 so I only have 6 years to pop out this one and one more maybe 2 more who knows 😅😅😅😅😅😅 x

When i had my spotting last week it was from Sunday to Wednesday but still didn't get a clear bfp untill Friday, so as it's still potentially 5 days till AF might still be in a chance xx

I'm still here with no idea what's going on 🤣 cd28 today, was convinced yesterday AF had arrived and had period type cramps for about 15 mins but then they stopped and there was nothing there! Today no sign either, just (sorry tmi!) clear watery discharge. Still tender boobs at the sides like before I get AF but otherwise feel normal...actually calmer than usual 🤣 wonder if she's just going to show up as a late one 🙄 x

Hmmmmmm, I mean everyone's cycle is different, so I don't know what is normal for you before AF, but when I know I had my implantation pain which was a week Sunday just gone, I had clear watery discharge too. And then I had spotting from the Monday Tuesday and barely anything at all except a bit of like brown discharge on Wednesday, and then it was a bit thicker but otherwise normal discharge when I got my bfp.

But then I don't know if you've tracked your ovulation, as around ovulation time you can also have slightly clearer watery discharge, is it possible you're ovulating late?
If not then I'd say it's a coin toss 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sorry if I've been no help 🤣

The wait is agonising isn't it!

Please can someone help me? I am probably 9DPO and I got caught by the trap I was trying so hard to avoid 🤣 what does everyone think? I will keep testing unless AF arrives. Am I being crazy??

Defiantly see one on the second picture xxxx

I think I'm dpo 11 not tracked but since Saturday I had pains in my pelvis since then its been lower back and pelvis lots of (watery cm) bfn so I fear this is going to be one bad af since losing my son ovulation from the left side has been horrible from ovulation till af so still in limbo of the tww

Well not the same, but i had 2 compeltly different types of implanting with mine, like pink snotty discharge implantation with DD but this time it was more like bright pink blood. And could have easily been mistaken as actual red af blood in low light kind of thing. The only way I knew the first day was I always am quite clotty in AF sorry tmi.
And i was very confused.

Soooo I would say if it's pink/brown and not dripping only when wiping, which even mine pink blood didn't drip only wiping, personally I'd be thinking this could be implanting, fingers crossed for you hun xxxxxxx

The spotting seems to have stopped now i seem to have alot of cm and "full feeling" in my pelvis/uterus did you get this after ?I'm going to just play it day by day and see what turns up first a bfp or af (acting like its not consuming my every thought).
How have you been since your bfp ?

Edited

Yeses full or heavy feeling in my belly absolutely! And i have been peeing nearly every half hour to 1 hour as well 😅

Erm I'm alright generally, but i have sciatica and bad hips anyway and I think I'm getting a bit of spd or round ligament pain or pelvic gurdle pain or whatever name they're calling it nowadays 🤣🤣🤣 already bought a pregnancy support belt because of my back. And already got a pregnancy pillow for sleeping as well because that is soooo uncomfortable right now as well as insomnia but then again that's normal for me too 😅🤦🏽‍♀️❤️

Hello, joining in 👋

Ttc baby #2, first cycle.

I knew immediately I was pregnant with DD. Haven't got that definate feeling this time but already symptom spotting, even though it's wayyyy too early.

I never test until my period is late so will be following along with everyone else while I'm in the tww.

I'm still breastfeeding (3.5yrs later!) so hoping that won't cause any issues 🤞.

So lovley to see lots of BFPs on here already this month.

Hello and welcome! May this be a cycle filled with baby dust and that you get your bfp before too long
My dd is 14 months old and breastfed and ill be honest, i think it is causing some issues. Its the 2nd cycle im tracking and I dont think I ovulated this cycle plus the one before i had a v short luteal phase. These problems can be connected to bf.
Please i dont mean to discourage you, we are all made so differently
Are you tracking at all? Xx

Hi I’d love to join, are people still posting in this thread or should I be looking for another? Currently CD 21 (my cycles are 25 days) bit of a back story, we had a missed miscarriage back in June 2023, babies heart stopped at 12 weeks, had no luck since, I had a scan on Monday to check my uterus/ ovaries etc as I am under the miscarriage clinic at the hospital, I had specific bloods taken etc, however Monday I was on cycle day 17 and she said it looked like I was about to ovulate (late for me as I usually ovulate cycle day 11) she didn’t seem concerned and said everything looked good and healthy, obviously I am concerned why I hadn’t ovulated already and thinking how can I ovulate so late when my cycles are only 25 days, I’ve been googling (shouldn’t have) it’s saying late ovulation could mean poor egg quality so now got myself in a bit of a flap, I havnt been tracking ovulation as this just stresses me out and I’m trying to stay as chill as possible, I won’t be early testing either as I have lost hope where its been so long trying since the missed miscarriage (over a year and a half) sorry I’m rambling now, lovely to see a few of you with positive tests, I really hope I do get one soon xx

YKM2829 · 24/01/2025 10:09

still active thread don't worry 😀 and it's probably gonna mix of those ttc who can stay on with people they talk to here as well as those, me including already with a BFP. I figure it's good for us all to kinda share advice and tips etc 😘

Good luck to you, I hope you get your bfp, I am due on Tuesday, I have one clearblue early detection digital, if af doesn’t arrive Tuesday I will take it Wednesday (I imagine it will arrive but here’s to hoping) it’s going to feel like a long wait x

Thank you im preparing for af but hoping for a bfp , since losing my baby boy in July we haven't had a hint of luck so to save heart ache im just taking it month by month , well done for holding out until Tuesday fingers crossed for you, I had been using Internet cheap ones but the reviews are awful so I have one clear blue for Sunday if af doesn't show up tomorrow

2petrabbits · 24/01/2025 17:27

I’m due on Sunday/ Monday and going to try holding off until at least Tuesday if my period doesn’t start.

YKM2829 · 25/01/2025 05:49

Started spotting yesterday, at around 5+5, like brown at first and now more really diluted pink. No idea what's caused it. I know spotting can be normal but with dd I didn't have any at all throughout once I did that pregnancy test. Idk.
Apparently my early pregnancy unit only do from 6 weeks onwards so I don't even know what I'd do.

Is it just when you wipe or is it on a pad as well ? My positive thoughts are with you and sending you all the good vibes
