Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[babyjan]

Hopefully the spotting is implantation

Your right on the OPKs though, I'm gonna stick with it that way I will be relaxed knowing if my body is gearing up to ovulate or not x

 

[slg76]

OPKs actually make me more relaxed. I like to know what is going on. And, I don't want to DTD every other day for weeks so knowing when I'm ovulating takes the pressure off.

I agree on the opks. Temping was the thing that made me most crazy!!

I'm struggling at the mo, been feeling really low and fed up and like I'm just getting nowhere my due date creeps ever nearer and nothing's happening. I feel like everything's at a stand still, including my job and our house and everything, until this next baby appears and my body has just stopped. I understand because it's been through so much I get that it needs a break but I wish I knew how long and what I can do to help. I feel like I'm doing all I can, I'm in the gym 4-5 days a week and eating soooo healthily and using acupuncture and supplements and aromatherapy.
I've got to spend today with a pregnant woman at work and I just can't cope you ladies are a lovely support but no one can solve it xx

I'm sorry you're having a down day Munchkin. A time limit would be really handy right about now.

id love another now but in a way i got so much attention to give to my son first.. not happened yet so i guess no 2 isnt meant to be yet a while

Hello miss trouble :waves:

Things are looking up here, she's bit pregnant, she's just fat and I think AF might be on her way which would explain why I'm being such a mard arse. Please god let it be that!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Seen the hospital. I have anti phospholipid syndrome. During pregnancy I have to take 75mg aspirin, 5mg folic acid and an injection every day up to 6 weeks after birth. I will be seen every 6 weeks for blood tests. I will have 5-6 scans. I've just had some more bloods done and go back tonight to start the injections.

 

[Munchkin30]

Wow brunette. Can I say that's great news?? At least you have an answer and a plan now! How are you feeling about it? X

 

[brunettebimbo]

Shocked but I'm ok. Gives me hope!

 

[Munchkin30]

What happens with this pregnancy??

 

[brunettebimbo]

I start my injections tonight.

 

[celine]

Brunette thats great that you are being taken seriously and have an answer and solution. Im so sorry munchkin, i wish someone could give you a timeline or solution

 

[Button#]

Brunette that's great that they've given you a diagnosis and a plan.

 

[slg76]

I'm glad you found an answer Brunette. Sorry about the daily injections. I'm sure you will get used to it in no time.

Munchkin: You really are doing everything you can. I find it so hard when things are out of my control. It's understandable that you are really frustrated. I hope part of your bad mood is PMS because that means it will go away soon and that you will be on a new cycle. Maybe we will be cycle buddies. I should get AF in a day or two.

I tested again today and it looks negative. I'm bummed that the tests the other day with super faints lines were a fluke. I'm also getting very frustrated with ttc. I think I'm ready to start injections to speed things along but my hubby isn't so sure. He's really worried that the injections will increase our risk of birth defects and/or miscarriage. There is no evidence to support that. The only risk that goes up is the risk of multiples. I'm more worried that I will make 10 eggs and end up not pregnant

Slg how are you doing Hun, are you testing again? Hoping it was just too early last time xx

How is everyone else doing? Any news?

How lush is this weather! It has been absolutely boiling today, I love it!

I'm on cd 13 now and due to dtd again tonight on my smep! Dtd cd9 & 11 so far. I ovulate next week. Fingers crossed.

Xxx

I'm spotting and getting BFNs. I think I'm about 12dpo so pretty sure I'm out and hoping AF turns up at the weekend.

Had a lovely day here, had a toddler picnic in the park this morning with a few friends and their LOs.

 

[slg76]

thanks for checking in , W. I am CD3 today. bummer. I had a nice chat with my RE today and it was good to hear her be optimistic about me trying a medicated cycle. I will do testing tomorrow to see if it's too late to do the meds this cycle. If I already have a dominant follicle growing then I will have to wait for next cycle.

 

[Button#]

Good luck slg!

 

[Scottish mum]

Oh this is a great thread! I'm thinking I would like my second soon and I know I might not be as lucky. Very refreshing to have great support on here. Good luck girls xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

Welcome Scottish x

Slg sorry af got you hun. I hope you can do the medicated cycle this time, but this cycle or next, I'm really hopeful it will be that bit of help you need to get your rainbow baby!

Button sorry to you too hun on the bfns and spotting. Can you have a bit of a pamper weekend if af comes? After my mc I started buying myself a monthly I'm not pregnant present!! Pair of shoes or perfume!

I'm cd 14 today and still doing smep! Loving it and feeling really good and positive. Need to get my bum out of bed and get to acupunture now!!

Munchkin how are you? Xx
