33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

I wish I could get nun DH on board with actively trying. He's wanting to just not chart anything but still BD and hope for the best. I may or may not be charting on my own though. 😉
 
Duster, I'm so sorry your mom has appendicitis. How was her surgery? I hope all is well with her! I'll be keeping her and your family in my thoughts and prayers. ❤

Welcome Tow! Some of my ttc story is in one of the previous pages. I don't know if you have read through or not but it's kinda a lot to type and I don't have the time right now to type it all right now but if you still want to know let me know and I'll tell you again in a little while lol Ttc your first is definitely an exciting and scary time! I hope you concieve quickly! With my first and third, we had sex every day to get pregnant lol so if that's what you want to do then go for it! Have fun with it! Hopefully that'll help everything move along quickly for you. Good luck!

Congratulations on the promotion, citrus! That's awesome! I agree with you, that's something you can't really predict no matter how much you want to or how much you try, so I think accepting the promotion was a good idea. I hope you do get pregnant this month though! What will happen if you do? Will they take it away or will you still be able to continue with the position at work?

Happycupcake, I'm so fascinated with your goal per say of what you want to do with your schooling! I hope you get the creativity you're seeking while you're learning about forensics and profiling. Will you try to write a book, maybe? I'd read it!
 
Wow 101 pages I'm glad I found ladies that like to talk!!! Well done on your promotion citrus! And don't feel bad when you accepted you were not pregnant so nothing to feel guilty about! Hopefully you will be soon though 😉

Duster hope your mum feels better soon and the surgery goes well, keep us informed!

Hi towwife nice to meet you! Your more than welcome to join. Ttc #1 took us ten months but felt like ten years! We had the first few months ntnp but I'm far too obsessive to ket that go on too long. Trying to not let that happen too much this time!

I just used ic's from Amazon was like 30 for a fiver. It does say on the instructions that it should be the same or close to the same or darker how annoying. The digi was a solid smiley. My resting on is really low I think because at the start you can't see a second line so that's prob as strong as it's gets.

Bit annoyed at my temps last few days as dd having bad nights and I'm not getting 3 hours solid sleep and so my temps are but high last two days when I really wanted them to show me when i ovulated in relation to positive opk

Kim how many dpo are you now? Are you are next tester?
 
Duster, I hope your mum is doing ok.

Citrus congrats on the promotion. Don't feel bad. I applied for my dream job back in October then found out I was pregnant and withdrew my application. Obviously that pregnancy didn't work out and I regret not going for the job now. You never know what will happen. Obviously I hope you conceive immediately!

Welcome new ladies.

Tow, the first two times I got pregnant we just tried every other day all month. Good job it only took 3 months both times. I also kept an eye on my cm without really telling hubby.

How's everyone else? Anyone close to testing?
 
Yes who's nearly at testing time? Seems as though we've had a bit of a lull in here since the run of positives! I'm going to do an opk today as it's CD12 so should see them get darker over the next week. I'm interested to see whether there is a line like last time or nothing, like yours ladders as I know it'll be too early now. Will test with smu.

Thanks for all the congrats guys. I feel like it is the right thing to do tomoz

Welcome tow. We are temping and using opks but I do keep all Tanya fairly separate from my husband. He sort of acknowledges we need to though, life is pretty hectic with a 2 year old and full time jobs and we don't get to BD that often usually. So it has to be a real effort to do so which is not romantic or sexy! Ttc no2 is hard!
 
Morning ladies.

Just finished my 3 days working so i have a bit more time to chat! Hoping to see some more positive tests soon.

Afm, this pregnancy is worrying me majorly. I am not even 5 weeks and worry constantly that my symptoms are disappearing. Yesterday for example u had cramping at lunch time then felt fine for the rest of the day....that sent me into a panic. I have mh first midwife app on 5th June and am going to book a reassurance scan for mid june. I just hope everything is ok.

Good luck to all your ladies approaching o day. Is anyone in teh tww. I have missed alot!
 
Citrus, I apologise I didn't congratulate you on your promotion! Congratulations:)

Duster how is your mum? I hope everything is ok.

Kim yes this is my aim. I love writing but I struggle with fiction. So this idea seems a good in between. I don't know if this makes any sense lol

Anni, how are you?

Ladders, I am having similar issues temping this time, as my sleep is suffering more due to our daughter waking at all hours...

Jessy, what does afm mean? I could guess, but each suggestion my mind makes, it uses the f rudely. It's ok for symptoms to come and go, I barely had any with my first child, second I had a few more symptoms and third I had zero symptoms until a while after I tested and then they hit me. You are still so early on, hCG doesn't peak until 8 weeks I think, so it may be that you experience more as time goes on, or you may be lucky and be without many symptoms most of the time! Lack of symptoms doesn't mean there's something wrong. I also saw clear differences between my boys and daughter. My daughter I had the most symptoms with whereas my boys symptoms were less so and more mild
 
Glad you got a positive ladders, weird the difference between the digi and the cheapies though.

Lols at the beeping appendage!

Hope your mum is doing well duster. At least she got there for them to know and get it out, even if it took a couple of days.

Hi towwife! We ttc for 3 cycles before conceiving number 1. That month we pretty much dtd every day from about day 7, so I think we were both relieved when it was a positive!

This time though we conceived cycle 2 with only dtd I think 3/4 times anywhere near to ov, although I think we did on ov day itself. I've never done any temping, opks etc as I think that process would cause me more stress than good. I have tried to keep an eye on ov signs though and not made an issue of it to dh. I think it's a good idea to keep track on things yourself if you want to, and keep it low key where you oh is concerned so as not to put pressure on, they're delicate creatures!

Congrats on the promotion citrus! You're right, you can't turn it down. And if you do conceive this month it will all work out anyway I'm sure.

Jessy, I feel the same. Yesterday I felt pretty terrible all day. Today I am still having some nausea but a lot more mild and that's concerning me. I'm trying to stay positive and just hoping baby is getting good and cozy in there. It's hard at this stage though when you have no idea what's really going on.

Cupcake, I could be wrong but I take the afm to mean as for me.

Looking forward to some more testing. Who's next?
 
Yeah i meant as for me :haha:

I totaly caved and bought a clear blue digi today and got 2-3. My ticker is saying i am almost 5 weeks but i think based on ov i am just passed 4.
 
Ah I see, thanks both of you!

Jessy, I didn't get a 3+ digi until I was a week overdue af, I think I was a little more than 5 weeks. I also with my daughter got a 2-3 on a digi the afternoon I got my first positive test with her then the following day I got a 3+ so literally a day can make all the difference! Try another in a few days and you will see a 3+ I'm sure :)

I have been one of those super annoying people today handing out flyers in town for a local cafe to help out. My eldest was meant to be doing it but he was overcome with social anxiety so I did it for him and he met me later after his lunch. I always avoid these people in town lol! I had a HUGE wad of them, there were a good few hundred of them and I handed them all out with the exception of those my eldest handed out when he met me in town.
In other news my OPKs are starting to darken up so I think I will see a positive this evening or tomorrow
 
Thanks ladies for all your support. Mom's surgery went well, but she is sore, which is to be expected.

I will likely be testing around the first but don't feel good about this cycle even dtd when we did. Too much stress to promote a healthy pregnancy, but we'll see. Even when things have been going well, my anxiety has been awful. But that happens with me- it comes and goes.

Hope you all are doing well!
 
Duster, so good to hear your mum's surgery went well! I hope she makes a swift recovery.
There have been three ladies here thinking the same as you and they saw positive tests, so hopefully this had become a lucky thread and you see a positive soon too!
I know how you feel with anxiety, I suffer with it as well. When we conceived our daughter I was so stressed, my mental health wasn't fabulous but she happened! Stress can hinder things but sometimes it doesn't get in the way
 
Jessy, I basically have no symptoms. Going to dr on Monday to be referred to midwife. May ask about an early scan but I'm still on the fence. If it makes you feel any better I keep telling myself that having symptoms is no proof of a healthy pregnancy so lack of symptoms is no proof that anything will go wrong.

I'm doing well, can't remember who asked. Grace is over her chickenpox now except for 1 on her finger and one on her foot that won't dry out. Very occasional bouts of nausea but nothing serious. I'm just very bloated.
 
Glad to hear your mums surgery went well duster.

And glad grace is recovering from the chickenpox anni. I think what you said about symptoms in relation to pregnancy is a good point to remember. Until we can hold babies in our arms I don't think the worry about what's going on inside ever goes away, and then of course a whole new world of worry starts! We just have to trust they're doing ok.

And duster it's totally not over till af comes. Like cupcake says, I hope this is now a lucky thread and more bfps on the next round of tests!
 
Ugh can i vent please.

I am soo incredibly bloated. I genuinely look about 4/5 month pregnant and i literally cant breathe it in. So its my OHs birthday today. Had a nice morning and we got ready for bowling and dinner after lunch. I got a horrid wave of nausea come over me just as we were about to leave. My oH proper huffed and puffed about it as i asked to sit down for 5 mins until it passed. He then just took DD to the car and phoned 2 mins later saying come on. I said ill come up in a bit and he huffed and puffed again. I collected myself and drove up to the bowling. No one else was there so why i wasnt allowed to sit for 5 mins before we left is beyond me but never mind. Feel grumpy and more grumpy. I can see having zero sympathy from my OH the entire pregnancy again like i had with my DD even though he promised he would be better this time.
 
Urgh Jessy, why are OHs so unreasonable sometimes? I'm not looking forward to that when I am pregnant, I think OH will be much less caring this time as have another little person to care for too. It will just be hard all round I think!

I took a opk today, it was negative. Definitely took the whole time to get to its darkest though, I know that was asked a little while back. There was a line which I was glad about so I'm hoping it will go as dark as the boots ones did last month so there is no mistaking and no need for digis like you ladders.

Almost time to get BDing here. Is it bad that I don't think we have BD since I was last fertile?!!
 
Citrus we only tend to have sex during the fertile period because my drive is hormone dictated. I don't have much of a sex drive after I have ovulated (I was about to type evolved lol). So we get in as much as we can from the day af has left to then. I enjoy it, but the desire to have sex is only there when I'm fertile, most of the time.

So far we have had sex day before yesterday and today. Tried yesterday but he held off because he didn't think I had had mine and eventually he couldn't finish because he held off for too long lol! You reminded me I should use an OPK in a minute to see what it's like. This afternoon's was fairly dark, so they are getting there
 
I'm trying to get him to want to actively try, but unfortunately he has 0 drive which is literally the only problem we have in our marriage because my drive is probably a little above average. May be TMI, but he literally only wants to have sex on Saturday. He refers to it as "sex night" lol. Also this morning, he decided to say that babies should be conceived accidentally. 🙄 I swear, I don't know what I'm going to do with him.

If my cycle goes back to what it was pre bc, my most fertile day should be next Saturday, so maybe I'll get lucky. He thinks we're ntnp, but little does he know I'm kind of keeping track. Is that bad? 😂

Viagra? Lol! Jokes aside this has to be tough for you. Isn't there anything that gets him in the mood? Could you introduce a nice Sunday AM wake up call?
It isn't, I would be the same too ;)
