Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[Button#]

Sorry about your BFN slg.

 

[babyjan]

AF arrived and I feel okay today, better than I did upon seeing a bfn lol!

Think I'm just gonna stick to ntnp and take it easy, basically no OPKs and no testing till AF is actually late, I think this will be better for my sanity.

How's everyone else?

I'm not very hopeful this cycle, had no implantation bleeding yet and I almost certainly would if I'd implanted. I just don't feel like it's going to be this cycle.

Sounds like a good plan.

 

[babyjan]

Button it can still happen, why do you think you have to have the implanation bleed?

I have no other choice hun, hardcore ttc will only make the process more stressful, I'm so worried something is wrong with me, all this time trying and only one BFP which ended in miscarriage.

 

[Button#]

Because of my cervical abrasion I expect I would do, it lasted for 3 days with the one that ended in mc.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you but I do think not stressing about it for a while would be a good idea.

Is anyone else suffering with bad timing?

The past few months, it seems that when I'm at peak time to get that little baby on their way, something happens which means we can't do what needs to be done.

Last month we had my 15 yo nephew staying so that was no good. (and no, we couldn't kick him out for an hour or pop out to the garage....)

A couple of months ago, Mr Foo had a raging cold, before that he was working away. Then this month his recurring elbow problem flared up and he is in a huge amount of pain and tablets are making him drowsy.

I'd think he was doing it on purpose if he had any idea what my cycle was!

Seriously, what with the world conspiring against us generally, I'm beginning to think there are just too many signs not to have another baby!!!

 

[Button#]

Me too Foo. This has been the first cycle that me and OH haven't had colds or someone staying or us staying away with a LO who won't go to sleep.

I wanted a 2/3 year age gap and now harrison is 4 I dont ovulate or have regular cycles. Totally sucks :'( xx

 

[Button#]

Sorry bathbabe. Have you spoken to a dr yet?

 

[bathbabe]

I had alot of appointments last year and a scan n smear etc but I have all the symptoms of PCOS but only 2 tiny cysts on 1 ovary so my dr wont diagnose me im overweight as well so I dont think they will do much now till iv lost weight which is really hard for me. Havnt bother to see them this year coz I just feel so let down I will mak an appointment soon tho x

 

[babyjan]

So sorry bathbabe

My age gap dreams are also ruined, especially for OH he wanted a much smaller age gap then me, I initially wanted 2-2.5 years apart, not gonna happen now

ooh, I kind of lost my rag on a "perfect age gap?" thread the other day

It seems so petty to worry about something so inconsequential when its not exactly something one can plan!

we were looking for 4-5 yrs age gap, I even got pregnant on the "right" time according to the plan, but unfortunately it ended with a mmc in April

I also have PCOS, & irregular periods, I had 1 period after the D&C , now I'm late but I'm sure I'm not pregnant. This waiting game sucks, we are not young anymore, I'm 35 hubby is 49

SIL sent me a message few mins back to tell me she got a BFP, it wasn't plan, they don't want a second child. I am happy for her, we are not even trying yet after the mc but I wished it was me not her

 

[Button#]

I had the perfect age gap BFP as well Omarsmum which ended in mc.

We've been trying since Emily turned 2 and she turns 4 next month We did want them closer together but now we are just hoping that we get another one.

On a positive note, I had an amazing day with Emily yesterday. She had zero potty/poop accidents for the whole day! Hooray!! She is finally on board with wearing the panties and after a slow start she is really getting the hang of it. Also, I took her to the pool. Usually she sits in the corner by herself and spends half her time crying because somebody splashed. Yesterday there was no crying, she played with the other kids, and by the end of the day she was floating in her ring by herself walking her hands along the wall. Today she asked for swim lessons. I'm so proud of her!!!!

I bought her a Lite Brite today. Did you guys play with those when you were little? She's loving it and has been sitting on the floor putting the pegs in for 20 minutes now.

 

[Button#]

Wow, go Emily! Sounds like she's on a roll!

Not heard of lite brights will have to google.

I've just had a glimmer of hope in the form of spotting. May just be the run up to AF or maybe something good, we shall see. I've had some mood swings today as well.

 

[tootyfruity]

Oh button I hope it's good spotting!!

We Also got pregnant with perfect timing which ended in mc, it does suck!!

 

[Button#]

Thanks tooty!

Slg - yes! We had them in school when we were teeny

 

[Mrs W 11]

Another one who got pregnant bang on for my ideal 2 year age gap only for it to end in mmc followed by 6 months ttc.

Last month I ovulated early on cd 13 ish. This cycle I'm cd18 with no pos opk or temp rise. I'm wondering if the royal jelly could delay ov?

Slg sorry you got a bfn, never too late tho. Glad you both enjoyed swimming, we love going too! I haven't heard of that you either.

Button, I really hope it's an ib !

Welcome to the new ladies xx

 

[Button#]

Hate it when OV is late, it's worse than the TWW! Hope it shows up for you soon mrs W
