TTC #2

[SWMum9]

Hello, I’m 11 months TTC baby no 2 and have had two losses during this time.

I’m currently driving myself crazy in the TWW. Sex has become very prescribed and my husband has had a few times where he can’t perform due to pressure. I really can’t face another month experiencing that.

This month feeels different, like I could be pregnant… realistically how early can I test? I’m desperate but don’t want to be disappointed 😢 I also ovulated earlier than usual so hadn’t DTD as much in the lead up to ovulation which was frustrating

I think you can start to test on Friday at 9DPO! I don’t dtd much either this month, only twice on peak day and currently. 5dpo x

It gets so tiring doesn’t it. Then when ovulation came a bit early I was kicking myself we had ‘missed’ the lead up. Keeping eveything crossed for you

Hi @SWMum9, I feel your pain! I’m back to CD2 today 😔 TTC#3 for almost 2 years now.

The last TWW was awful and one of my longest cycles (33 days) as I ovulated late.

Are you planning to test early? xx

Oh it’s so hard isn’t it 😔 sending love. It happened so easily with my first which made me so naive to how this journey can be. The TWW actually turns me into a different person, I can’t think straight.

I’ve tested this morning and I think I can see the faintest line but I’m not sure. I don’t want to get my hopes up / my eyes might be playing tricks on me. As I’ve had losses I don’t think I’ll be excited with any new pregnancy until it’s atleast 12 weeks 😢

So sorry to hear about your losses 😔

I was testing all the way through the last TWW which I normally don’t do.. and it’s just been emotionally draining! So think I need to chill out 😅

Hopeful for your faint line.. you’re very early on to be testing too aren’t you? 🤞🏼 do you have a pic? x

I'm on pregnancy 3 since stopping contraception a year ago TTC number 2. I had 2 losses last year but conceived again quite quickly after my miscarriage in December before I got my period back! I'm 15 weeks tomorrow. I was over 7 weeks when I found out I was expecting!

I never did the ovulation tracking or the sex on specific days. I'd ask whether at this moment in time if the tracking is helping or adding additional stresses?

I have been lucky that the longest it's taken for me to conceive is 3-4 months. We have gone with having sex based on mood typically 1-3 times a week. I do think my libedo increase around the middle of my cycle so whether that was mother nature being supportive I don't know. Having had two back to back losses I was quite glad to have skipped some of the early first trimester anxiety too! I was going through redundancy consultation at work and made the decision to avoid adding to my stress by knowing I was pregnant so held off taking a pregnancy test until I found out about my job.

@Superscientist huge congratulations on your pregnancy! 7 weeks before you knew, wow!

I understand completely what your saying.. and I know this for myself tracking and testing every day is just not good for me mentally 🙂‍↔️

DS#1 was completely unplanned
DS#2 I stopped tracking completely as I had given up all hope and just thought my last chance was to book package for fertility treatment. And that month I fell pregnant.

@LucyLou0527fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏼 how are you feeling?

10dpo now and wondering if that’s a vvvfl?

I can definitely see something there! Is it pink colour in real life? x

Yes very very faint

Fingers crossed it’s the start of a good line!!
It’s so hard not to be consumed by it all.

Deffo something there😍

The line hasn’t got any darker this morning, stayed the same. Should I be concerned?

Do you have a pic? 11dpo is still early xx
