Anyone trying for #2 around cd 4?

[Fleur29]

Ps dogtanian - sorry to hear af is MIA - though obvs hope she stays away and you get a bfp!! Did you make it into town for a frer?? I walked past two boots and a superdrug today and had to really stop myself buying any tests... I would just rather see af than a bfn and I have no self control - If there are tests in the house then I have to pee on one!!!

But can see how infuriating it must be if you're getting bfn's and no af -arghhhhhhh!

Anyway best of luck to you xx

I'm with you!! Broke down and tested yesterday. AF is due any day but still not here. Test was of course -'ve. I'm sure I ovulated late so will get AF late and slacked off with the BD around that time. BD with a toddler in the house is so much harder!

 

[babydust1]

Ah babydust1 that sounds like progress to me!! How often is she going in to nursery?

Twinks, I'm the same! Cry at every single birth on obem!!!! That's so exciting re your house - bet you can't wait to move in!

I'm quite looking forward to my trip away but we aren't taking dd (we are going to Poland for a wedding) and I've never left her more than overnight yet!!!! 3 whole days away from her! It will be nice to have a lie in though and I know she will have a brill time at home with her grandma. Still already looking forward to getting back to her on Monday though!!!! X

she only goes twice a week 9am-4pm xx

 

[Fleur29]

Ah well she will soon get used to it babydust1! First week done and dusted, it only gets easier from here!

Sparkly 8795 - sorry you got a BFN but you're not out til the witch shows so fingers x for you. I know what you mean re bd with a toddler in the house - I'm normally so knackered by bedtime the last thing I want to do is any BD! But its practically the only time we can get it done as mornings she is always up before us and its a bit offputting having a toddler sing or scream through the wall at you whilst you try and get down to it...!!!

 

[babydust1]

Ive got terrible flu :'( sore throat bad chest and a nose like a blooming tap :'( silly change in weather! :'( ive not got opk this month so probably Won't do them and just try bd as much as can without feeling so out of it like I do now stupid flu!! :'(

Hope all you lovely ladies are ok xx

 

[babydust1]

Oooo it says on ticker im entering fertile period !! just hope its right and I ovulate! Xx

 

[Fleur29]

oh no babydust1!!! So many people have flu/colds at work, my dd has a horrid snotty nose (oh yes - prepare yourself for all the nursery viruses - its a hotbed of germs!) - but thats exciting to be entering your fertile period!! Fingers x for you.

I soooo nearly bought a pregnancy test at lunch but I managed to restrain myself. I really hate BFN's so would rather just see AF (well obviously i would rather not see her but I think its the lesser of two evils!)

I am also rather pleased with myself as I have just bought a little present for my friend's baby who was born this week - and after I bought it I was thinking what a good thing it is that I've bought it this side of the wknd (i.e. possibly AF time!) in case she does show up and the last place I will want to visit next week is Mothercare and look at all the teeny tiny newborn clothes!!

Just thought I'd share that!

Sorry to hear about your flu babydust1, I hope it passes quickly so that you feel up to BDing! I've had a cold and felt really rough since the weekend, but today I am starting to feel better.

Well done Fleur29 for being strong - by not buying a pg test and also buying a present for your friend's baby! We had a lady at work leave to go on maturnity leave yesterday. We all signed a card and put a collection together to get her gifts with. She had a lovely balloon and cute home made bunting and confetti on her desk. It was lovely and I was so happy for her, but also a little envious that it wasn't me. Silly really, but I thank God everyday for my DD, I'm so blessed but really want another baby to cuddle in my arms.

Well today I am back to the title of this thread and am on cd4. This AF has been terrible! The first couple of days were extremely heavy, bad headaches, the works. It's my first AF after mc so I presume (and hope) it's down to that. I'm glad it's starting to get lighter now.

I've started temping again this cycle, I haven't done it since TTC my DD, but not knowing whether I O'd last cycle or not drove me insane, so even though we were hoping to take TTC a bit more in our stride this time (I got quite stressy last time) I'm already temping and using a cbfm. Oh well, who cares if it works.

I'm sorry I'm only on here haphazardly ladies, I'm at work during the week (and don't want the nosey ppl who sit around me seeing BnB on my screen) and often visit family at weekends so I find it hard to find time to post. But I do have it set up so that I get daily emails updating me on this thread so I'm reading all your posts (I promise not in a freaky stalker way ).

to all!

 

[Fleur29]

Ah Bekib10 - sorry that AF was so hideous this month but really glad she nearly done and dusted and you can move onto October!

Glad I'm not alone in feeling envious of friends with babies - as you say, we are soooo lucky to already have one child, but I just feel like it will feel complete our family with another baby. I'm an only child myself and it was fine, but I just think its so nice to have siblings, I really want that for my dd.

I am having to go out at lunchtime to pick up some supplies for the weekend and will need to stay really strong to stay away from the pg test section!! eeek! wish me luck girls. I just keep thinking to myself that I cant see yet another BFN and so much better to get AF if this isnt my month than do a test and have that horrible 3 minute wait with your heart pounding - ugh!

Hey btw - my copy arrived of 'The Impatient Women's Guide to Getting Pregnant' - I only had a chance to flick through last night but there was some good stuff about how to cope with the 2ww, would def recommend as its only a few quid on amazon.

I know what you mean re going on here at work!!!! Although I always chop the window down to a really small size so that i can just see what I'm typing/what others have typed and its less obvious (I hope!!!) WHYYYY is that big banner at the top saying BABY AND BUMP - not good!!!! will have to set up those email alerts, I didnt know you could do that!

Hey Everyone,
AF is still absent and i did a FRER yesterday and it was BFN.Im feeling very sorry for myself.I didnt seriously think i would be lucky enough to fall the first month off BC,but now im worried something is wrong and i might have PCOS.(I had it about 10 years ago but it had totally rectified itself by the time i started trying for my 1st).
The question is do i wait till AF shows or do i start taking agnus castus,inositol and vit b6 now?
Ive been feeling very similar to all of you,i feel very grateful for already having a LO,but the urge to have another is so strong.I went to a wedding this weekend and couldnt stop starring at everyones babies,i must have looked like a right weirdo!

 

[Fleur29]

What CD are you on dogtanian? If AF hasnt showed then there is still time for a BFP! And if its not a BFP and AF is just a bit late it doesnt mean you have PCOS again - just means your cycle may be a bit whacky after coming off BCP.

I would prob give it a bit of time before taking a load of supplements and see what happens when AF comes back. Also - dont forget you may well be preggers and probably wouldnt want to take all those supplements if you are in early pregnancy?

Hahah I'm like that - and I stare at people's bumps and think - I wish that was meeeeeeeee! The wedding we are going to this wknd, one of my friends who i've not seen for ages is pregnant with her 1st - she's already said she wants to quiz me about pregnancy/childbirth all the rest of it and I'm a bit like- meh i know i shouldnt be but its hard isnt it!

So glad I have you ladies!! XX

 

[Dogtanian]

Im CD32.Thanks for your positivity Fleur,it really helps.
Its so easy to get carried away with all this TTC business!
I will wait till AF shows to take the supplements,im just getting so anxious

 

[Fleur29]

I know how you feel!! There is way too much waiting around and thinking space in this TTC malarkey - I always spiral out of control in my thoughts which is why I find this forum so helpful to write it down etc.

CD32 is not too whacky yet - fingers crossed you get a BFP in the next couple of days - do you know when you ovulated? I was reading (in my new book!) about ovulation and LP and when you can test and get an accurate result - it was saying that although FRER and the like say you can test 5 days prior to your period expected date and get an accurate result, that assumes a 14 day LP (as you prob know, the tests measure a hormone that the embryo creates, so if you ovulate later and thus the embryo gets created later, that hormone level wont be high enough to get picked up until a later point) - i.e. say you didnt ovulate to CD18/19/20 - then you're not going to get an accurate result until 9 days after O day as the levels will be too low, if that makes sense?! They should really put that on the packs rather than 5 days earlier than your period! Just thought I'd share that I know that I tend to ovulate late so this resonated with me.

Anyway best of luck! keep us updated! X

I think i ovulated between CD 17 AND 21,so yes quite late.But im not 100% i did OV as ovufriend didnt confirm,but based on tests and CM,i thought i did.For all i know i might have only OV'd recently,as i stopped doing OPK around CD20.
My head is spinning with all this!
I suppose i will keep testing with IC till AF shows up.
The only thing ive had that is out of the norm is some cramping on sunday that lasted about an hour or two.At the time i thought it was AF starting but as theres been no sign i then thought it might be IB.I never felt when i ovulated in the past,but now im wondering was it OV?
Deep down i know im not pregnant,but then i said that with DD

[babydust1]

I dunno what's up with me today bit I feel crampy and my right side of lower back hurts so blooming much... Hope its not ovulation already or ive definetly missed it this month lol


Thinking of giving it a miss next month and try aim.on losing a few lb

 

[Fleur29]

well i feel like AF is due to start any minute. Currently on cd 26 and the last two cycles have been 27 days so wouldnt be out of the ordinary if she did arrive in next 24 hours or so makes me feel super glum esp as we are travelling all day tomorrow and it will just be such a faff. I guess at least if she does arrive I can have lots of drinks at the wedding!!

Babydust1 - sorry that things are random, but hopefully cramps could be the start of your bfp? you never know!

Dogtanian - definitely still possible for you then! Will keep fingers crossed. Keep us up to date.

I just hope that that blinking stork is giving all the BFP's to ladies who really deserve them (i.e. people like Castaway) instead of teenage chavs who dont even want to be pregnant (apologies to any teenage chavs reading this!) - hufff!!!!
