anyone else TTC baby no2!!!! 🍼

[chelseaaaaaxxxx]

Anyone else in the middle of TTC baby number 2? It can be lonely at times so thought I would start a thread ❤️

Hi all, joining this thread as will be TTC baby no.2 in my next cycle, my son is 3.5 and was conceived first time trying, I’m feeling a bit apprehensive about how long it may take this time as my cycles are doing weird things lately, which are making me wonder if I’m starting perimenopause. Wishing you all lots of luck! 👶🏻

Oh I am sorry you experienced a chemical pregnancy 😣 that must have been so hard:/ hoping it all plans out well for you.🤞🏻
my periods are normally 32-33 days but I had some stressful news in feb so think I missed my period that month so they seem to be all over the place.🫣

trying for baby 2 is a abit stressful:( I am finding I need to chill out abit🤣 I fell pregnant pretty quickly with my daughter and we are now going into our 4 month TTC ( which I know isn’t long at all) ideally would love it to just happen now like most of your girls but you can’t rush these things can you.

I understand why you are like that, it’s been just the three of you for a few years and it will take a lot of adjusting! How many children would you ideally like? Xx

@SantiagoSister

hey 👋🏻

oh no what is happening with your cycles? How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

Wishing you the best of luck to you tho

i didn’t have many obvious cravings but definitely favoured certain foods. Hope you get the pulling feeling soon!!

She was due 23 June but I had her a bit earlier. I love this stage but also find it challenging 😂 she can be the best company but the tantrums are next level!! How about you?

@chelseaaaaaxxxx hi!

I’m only 35, so I was surprised to read that it is possible to be heading into perimenopause at this stage! My cycles have always been like clockwork every 28 days, and now they range anywhere from 22-32 days. I also have like 2/3 days of spotting before I start my period, which I’ve never experienced before. Google/older mum friends suggest perimenopause, so I am a bit worried going into TTC this time. But won’t know for certain until we try!

i completely get you on the tantrums they are hitting the ‘terrible twos’🤣🫣and it’s next level isn’t it 🤣 my little girl was born 28th June so not far after you, really hope you get the news you want soon xx.

Could you get in contact with with a doctor? Like you said you are only young still and I do think Google does like to scare a lot of people with what it comes up with x

Hi everyone, joining this thread as DH and I are currently TTC number 2. I have one DS who is 3 (4 in July). I’m currently on cycle number 3 (CD11). Conceived DS on cycle 1 so going through multiple cycles is new to me! Sending baby dust to everyone ✨

@Namesareimpossible

i am wishing you the best of luck!! 🤞🏻 it’s all heartbreaking seeing the negative tests or period arrives, also so hard to keep positive but we will get that positive test in 2026 we just need to be hopeful and positive xx

Cycle day 39, 8/9 dpo as ovulated later no sign of period. Tested this morning and negative 😔 gonna hope and test again in 2/3 days xxx

8/9 dpo is so early! Don’t lose hope yet! Definitely wait a few days and test again! Fingers crossed for you 🤞 x

I hope so 🤞🏻 I didn’t have a cycle Feb either but putting that more down to a stressful month I had.

how you getting on? Also what tests do you buy, I don’t want to keep buying clear blue everytime they are not cheap xx

Can I join too! Currently TTC number two- I have a 5 year old so would love to have a sibling for him before he turns 7. I’m also 39, and my son took nearly a year to conceive after an early mc so I am not looking forward to the process. Currently on CD2 of cycle 2, so back to square one this month!

Hey hope you don’t mind if I join too! TTC baby no.2 - I already have a 4 year old and she was a lovely surprise. Been trying since November and have had 2 chemicals which has been tough. Trying to just ‘relax’ but it’s really hard! Best wishes to everyone on here and really hope we all get there soon, it’s so nice to find a support group as this can feel really lonely sometimes! xx

Hey!!

sending you lots of baby dust! I hope it doesn’t take as long this time for you guys❤️

On test brands - I’ve been using the easy@home ovulation and hcg tests. Super cheap so I’ve not felt (as) bad for testing a few times per cycle

hey,

so sorry you’ve experienced chemical pregnancies:( I’ve go everything crossed for you!! I completely agree with you on that it can be extremely lonely especially when you see everyone else just ‘fall’ pregnant without really trying! It gets to the point where you think it’s just you going through it at the time! We will get there tho. Xx

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

As another poster said / the easy@home ones from Amazon are the ones I get. I think they’re pretty good

i don’t feel pregnant& don’t feel positive about it! I think maybe I am stressing to much over it which is making my periods!😣😣😣

Hi @foreverhopeful92 sorry im only replying now, my cycle has been a bit of a disaster, my last period started 12th Feb and nothing since, currently day 61 😳🥴 per ovulation tests I believe i FINALLY ovulated around 31st March, so hoping im in the last few days of the TWW! Part of me kinda hopes my period will come with how bad this cycle has been, my head is just fried and looking a fresh start. Where are u in the TWW now?🤞

@Anon224 do you have pcos??
i am also struggling with my periods the past few months!
since TTC my cycles have been everywhere
January: period
Feb missed
march period
according to my ovulation tests I ovulated on the 1st April!!!

Not diagnosed as such but i do believe I have it, with TTC #1 I had high testosterone, confirmed by bloods, along with longer cycles, although I've never had one this long! Its so typical though isnt it once u make the decision to TTC your cycles decide to keep you guessing 🙈 we are very near eachother time wise then!! Me and my partner did DTD round the time but I think im out this month!

Do you just have irregular periods?
before we started trying my periods were every month& always 32-35 days and I’ve always been like that ever since a teen! Would that point to having pcos?

oh I hope you are not out this month and you get that positive test!! Have you done a test?

Yea my cycles have always been kinda round 35 days, never below 30! I took Inofolic alpha TTC last time as its meant to help with PCOS, not sure if its the reason but few months after starting it i got my BFP. There are a few different boxes you have to tick to be diagnosed with pcos, irregular cycles is one, high androgens (testosterone) and something else, sorry can't remember last one lol done one today and it was BFN, what about you?

Oh no I know the feeling when you feel like you’re out but you’re not out until your period arrives! 🤞
