Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[Mrs W 11]

Yeh weird, still no ov, this has never happened before. Oh well, I'm on holiday now so no opks, no temps, just sex and good times

 

[slg76]

Have a great vacation, W!

I am 16 DPO. No AF and blood test yesterday was negative I'm having a hard time with it. I'm very Geary today but maybe that is PMS and AF will be here soon. Hubby is out of town so I think me and dd might fly to my moms for a couple days.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hey slg, sorry the blood test was neg Hun could stress or anything be delaying af? Or do you take any supplements that might delay it? Or could it be a late bfp? I've seen it happen on here before so you never know.

Sorry you are feeling down, I understand. Hope you have a lovely time if you do fly to your mums. Maybe it's just what you need.

We are on holiday this week. Trying to get sometime away from ttc and the stress. I don't know if I've ovulated since we've been away, been having ewcm for what feels like ages now. I'm sure the royal jelly delayed ov as my body was gearing up but nothing was happening.

I'm going to focus on life and work and let ttc take a back seat for a while. I'm doing a trial for clearblue so will still use opks as they've sent me loads but no bbt or ff or anything and although ill still check in on you ladies ill be on here less.

I've been offered a promotion at work with more money if I go up to 4 days from 3 and although I've been really torn I think it would be the right thing for us at the moment. Freya loves nursery so she won't really notice and it will give me a new focus and give us more money to enjoy our days off.

:babydust: to you all, I hope we see home bfps on this thread very soon. Xxx

Congratulations on your promotion mrs W!

Hi, how is everyone?
Slg Sorry to hear you got negative blood test, I had a good feeling for you this month too!

I'm having a bad day.....I'm cd 17 and no positive opk's, normally I would of ovulate by now, not sure if it's because I've been away and travelled home by plane Sunday. I just watched 'one born every minute ' it's my favorite programme but I cried all the way through this time, sometimes it just gets to me.

We need some more good news on this thread lol x

Hi tooty, I'm on CD4 and trying to introduce a few new thing to stop me stressing so much as I've been so on edge the last couple of cycles. I'm starting body balance classes, did one on Monday and felt fab afterwards, until I found a spider in my cup of tea!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Tooty I. Can't watch obem anymore, too emotional. I don't know if I've ovulated this cycle as I'm on holiday with no opks or bbt but if I have mine was really late as well. I'm always on time or early so it's odd and stressful if its late. I think mine was done to the royal jelly. Yet another reminder to me to go natural x

Button, spider in your tea?? Eeeeek

Also, I know we've said before but has anyone heard from munchkin? I was hoping and assumed shed just taken a break from bnb but odd that she never let us know and I'm really,hoping she's ok. X

Hiya

Do you mind if I join this thread. Took us 3 years to get number 1 & probably going to struggle for number 2 as well.

Just to give some background I have endometriosis and my partner has low motility sperm, soooooo it's probably not going to be easy.

At least this time round I know we already have our munchkin so will be taking a more relaxed approach & what will be will be!

Good luck to all of you ladies

xx

 

[tootyfruity]

Eww button I would of freaked, I always think I should start a class but never do lol

Mrs w that's arrange that you probably o'd late too,when I was on holiday last week I still did opks : /, I just can't help it lol.

Lisa you never know it might be fine this time but like you say already you have your lo x

 

[Button#]

I'd already dunked and eaten my biscuits before I spotted him as well, so gross! I did the body balance class before I was pg with DS so I know it's something I enjoy and can keep up. Off to talk to them about membership later.

Hi Lisa, good luck getting your number 2

Mrs W I was late ovulating when I took B50 complex and it was so much more stressful than the TWW ever was. I keep thinking about Munchkin as well.

 

[slg76]

welcome Lisa :wave:

I have not heard from Munchkin at all. I'm assuming she is gathering some sanity and then will be back. I hope that is all that's going on.

I'm ok. This cycle has been really rough on me. But, onto the new one now and it should be easier without the hormone injections and all the extra Dr. appointments. I'm only CD6 and starting to get EWCM. As long as I O I don't care when it is! The earlier the better really so I get more chances to try and catch an egg. I stocked up on CoQ10 and DHEA today. Here's hoping they can help make a better egg.

Emily is in a mood today! I think she's just tired from our trip. She upstairs in her room right now. She has to help clean up her dirty panties (we are potty training) and she doesn't want to. At least I get a break while she sulks.

 

[Button#]

I'm CD6 as well Slg. I'm trying epo this cycle.

I had a stroppy toddler yesterday, today's he's hyper and happy but he'll probably crash and start tantrumming in an hour. I ordered a load of shoes to try on him at home, you'd think I was trying to chop his foot off when I was trying them on him.

Can I join 😊 me and my husband have been trying for 4 months now but I suffer from pcos, I seem to have a problem carrying to term. I was on 500mg of metformin when I conceived my son and I continued that my whole pregnancy and I have an absolutely beautiful 19 month old. I've had 3 miscarriages, after my second they told me that my ovaries were enlarged and a higher level of testosterone so I was given 500mg of metformin then my son happened. I had a ultrasound 4 months ago and my ovaries etc were a normal size and no obvious obstructions (I went because of pain on my left side behind my section scar )I've now upped my dose after not getting a positive opk till cd23 out of 30 in April (I did get pregnant however I miscarried) so I'm now on 1000mg of metformin daily and I got a high on my cbfm on cd14&15 with positive internet cheapies. Also joined the Clearblue study for next cycle 😊 that's my story 😊 xx

 

[Button#]

Hi Lauren, sorry about your losses. I tried to join the clear blue study but I was too late. Good luck!

Hello all, I've been avoiding bnb for a while and trying to avoid anything to do with babies!

I've had 3 MCs and waiting for testing but were on a TTC break. I'm so frustrated as I went to the GP 6 weeks ago for a referral. 3 weeks after that I get an appointment at the wrong hospital for the wrong clinic. Referral letter goes back to correct hospital and 3 weeks later I've heard nothing......why is this taking SO long.

Everyone I know is getting pregnant and announcing all over Facebook. I've unfollowed about 6 people this week alone. I'm really struggling. Ds is 4 in November and I'm 35 next march...I feel like time is ticking away and we're slowly just adapting to living as a family of 3 and our time has past. It's not fair

Hey ladies

Hope your all well! I've been quite lately as I've tried to take my mind off ttc and been away at my mums and enjoying the World Cup.

Anyways AF arrived 10th June as you know as soon as it finished I began having globs of ewcm cd8/9 I thought this is odd as I'm usually dry quite soon after AF anyways ewcm still there so I start worrying as I'm away from home and have no OPKs to use, I came back home last night cd11 and use an OPK really late at 12am as I was sooo curious to see what it would say, sure enough I got a very close positive! Woke up this morning cd12 took an OPK and got positive OPK! I didn't get my positive till cd16 last cycle!!

I've been away from home this whole time so only had the chance to bd last night (cd11) I've been trying to take the relax approach but this early ewcm took me by surpise!

Do you ladies think I'm still in with a chance?? Could I have missed O? Or does this positive OPK mean O still hasn't occurred and should soon?

My cycles are usually 28 days :/

Hey hun

I too tried to take a break from the whole ttc side of bnb, is just been soo hard for me especially noticing people who have been trying same time or after me who are now halfway trough pregnancies if not already giving birth! And people I know in real life expecting around me, it's so hard and everyone around me is wondering what's going on with us!

I sometimes feel worse for OH as he gets asked when he will have another as his constantly around friends who've had their first babies same time as us who are now onto second babies! It's really frustrating! I go into every cycle feeling hopeful then get heartbroken when AF arrives, I even cried last cycle when I got bfn as it just got too much for me. I've tried to put ttc behind us and just stick to 'ntnp' for now.


I tried to ignore using OPKs but curiosity got the better of me this cycle plus having OPKs sitting in my draw hasn't helped lol!

I don't know what to say lovely but know your not alone

 

[Button#]

LPF - sorry to hear you're having a rough time. I know what you mean about everyone around getting pregnant.

BabyJan - I'd say your right about to O in the next day or two so keep BDing! Good luck!

 

[babyjan]

How is everyone doing?

I'm having one of my down days, not feeling hopeful but would do you expect with so many months of disappointment

 

[Button#]

I'm trying to stay relaxed about TTC. I stopped temping and I'm not going to do any OPKs until CD13 and maybe not even then. I was feeling quite down last cycle so I'm trying to do something about it and try and distract myself from TTC.
