Anyone TTC #2? Buddies?!

[BellaRosa8302]

Kalon, my cycles started back up completely regular when my DD was 6 months old. She still LOVES her "nanas" with a passion & I hope to let her self wean. My plan is to play it by ear though, once I get pregnant. We'll see what happens.

How old was your son when he weaned?

 

[KalonKiki]

Mine were completely wacky until 2 cycles ago and they started back up when DS was 8 months old. He was 15 months when he weaned, but he's also been STTN (for the most part) since he was about 6 weeks old and he decided that he wanted to sleep in his own crib instead of with me when he was 3 months old. He is incredibly independent yet somehow still very social. He loves being out in public and usually behaves very well in public. He really likes being around people and loves it when we visit family and friends. For a long time he was scared of other babies his age but he seems to have gotten over that now. He likes to do everything that he can by himself, including brushing his own teeth (although sometimes we have to force help on him anyway ). Apparently DH and SIL were the same way according to MIL, everything was "me do!". I feel blessed to have such a good first child, he was so easy. It terrifies me that the next could be a handful though. I also hope that he doesn't decide to act out once baby #2 is here.

Girls I am a twit! I caved and tested but not even with a IC as I didn't have any but a frer! Why did I waste it to see a big fat negative blazing!! Aghh!! Think I am 9dpo at the most.......really don't want to test again especially with a frer but the other one in the box will be staring at me in the morning!! Will power will power.....why don't I have any?!?!

Ashley those wonfos look fab fx for tomorrow!!
Keely- your little man sounds so similar to mine! So independent!! And just loves all people.....don't get me wrong he can be a monkey sometimes but overall he is great! Although he didn't sleep through the night until 11 months and he was up at least 2-4 times until then! So hope baba no. 2 sleeps a bit better!

Hope you are all having a lovely Saturday girlies! I'm just at the airport picking up my future sister in law to go to re wedding dress fitting tomorrow so that should be fun and distract me from the TWW for at least 30 seconds!!

Sorry girl!! I think I'll probably end up caving early, too. It's so hard not to! I want to test now and I'm barely 2dpo lmao

 

[ashleyg]

All tests are negative today. Pretty sure I'm out

 

[BellaRosa8302]

No Ashley!!!! Are you sure?! I was sure I saw lines on your tests! Remember, you're not out til AF shows!

 

[ashleyg]

Here is the wondfo I took. I don't think anything is there.


So yeah I'm just going to wait for AF to show up.

I won't be able to even TTC in July because of course, DH will be gone the week I will probably be ovulating. I don't even know when I'm supposed to get my period so it's just a waiting game right now. We will still try to DTD right after my period ends and up until he leaves but I know that nothing will come of it.

I'll probably take a little break from here in July because I'm really just frustrated and confused as to why everything we did this cycle didn't work. We didn't haven any issue conceiving our daughter so I don't understand.

Anyways hope you all have a great 4th of July : )

Oh Ashley, I'm so sorry! I know the feeling of getting your hopes up after seeing faint lines and then nothing. TTC sucks so much!

Hang in there and enjoy your holiday with DH and your little munchkin. Hugs to you!

 

[ashleyg]

Thank you hal. You too : )

 

[Powell130]

Perfectly healthy couples only have a 20-25% chance of conceiving each month so even if you do everything right it's still up to chance

 

[bombshellmom]

That's crazy how the chance percentage is 20%-25% of conceiving each month!

 

[Powell130]

Yes it's crazy! And if there are any issues the chance is lower!

Gosh I am so jealous of babies that sttn. Christian still wakes 2-4 times a night.

So I took an opk today. Looks almost positive? I am cd 25. I thought I was 11 dpo but now I am wondering if I didn't o as I never did get a full positive but had pains so figured I did. I hate how confusing this can be.

 

[krissie328]

I am sorry you are so down with ttc.

Try an HPT in a few days! OPKs pick up HCG too!

Maybe you're pregnant? I read that you can use OPK's as pregnancy tests (forgot where I read it but I googled it) and if they turn positive or dark, you might be pregnant! Don't quote me, but google!!

Happened to me about the same CD! I was so confused then got my a few days later!

 

[krissie328]

Interesting ladies, I took an hpt as well but it was negative. I will try to wait until Monday or Tuesday and maybe get a surprise.

 

[mommyxofxone]

krissie wow he still wakes that often?! that's a long night!

dd was bf'd until 13 months. her ped said i could quit offering and if she was done that it could be done. she actually never asked again. which i'm sad still that i stopped offering so early!! she was sttn since 10 months.

Ashley- i can't even believe your wondfo went white again!!! what ?! i thought for sure it was positive!!! i think i'd get in touch with whoever you got that from, there were just tooooo many positives for it to be a fluke. i'd want a refund or new tests!


starting to feel that really down feeling, like this is just never going to happen for us, and i'll never be able to have another one.

 

[krissie328]

krissie wow he still wakes that often?! that's a long night!

Yea, he was waking only once and then got sick. He stopped eating solids and sleeping. That was February. We got him back to eating and only waking 1-2 times then he got sick in June. He currently eats a couple bites here and there. Maybe a quarter cup a day. I have been offering but he isn't interested much past playing with it. We have a ped appointment ok on the 13th and I want to discuss extended formula feeding and possibly a referral to a feeding specialist or nutritionist. He is already under weight and clearly isn't ready to rely primarily on solids yet so I don't want to move to whole milk yet.
