Back to try for #2 at 40, anyone want to join me?

[CaliDreaming]

Tui, did you do anything differently this time or were you just going with the flow?? I sometimes wonder if things would happen more quickly for me if I just let things happen instead of trying to micromanage everything. I got pregnant with #2 on a night I didn't have a chance at all.

Also, I'm just realizing that I'm the oldest one on this thread.

Congrats tui that's great news.

Cali unfortunately I lost twins at 15 weeks (not a clomid) pregnancy so that would be my worst nightmare!

I teach so started back full time in Sept as Assistant Head so figure a full year then mat leave next Sept would be good.

 

[Tui]

Sorry nessaw, that must have been so hard

Cali we were much more relaxed about it this time around. Probably didn't have much choice though with a ten month old. He was teething, has a cold and currently going through a sleep regression! We were lucky we got near each other.

I never had much trouble getting pregnant. Keeping them was/is my issue. I can't get betas till next Wednesday so I'm trying to stay calm.

Our last 3 pgs we dtd every high and peak day on the cbfm. This time round I'm hoping for managing to hit 1 day-2 at a push!

 

[Tui]

It only takes once! When I had my chemical a couple of cycles back we only dtd once.

 

[CaliDreaming]

Tui, nessaw, my heart goes out to both of you! I should have paid more attention to your siggies. Tui, hope this is a sticky bean!

AFM, I'm 6 dpo and it seems like this cycle is going to be a bust. Oh well, already mentally preparing for the next.

 

[Jenny Bean]

Me too Cali,
And I know how the others feel, I have a MC at 10 weeks in May.

 

[CaliDreaming]

So sorry Jenny! I hate that so many women have had to go through this.

 

[Jenny Bean]

I so want to be hopeful this month but I had spotting yesterday which is a good indication that AF is on its way...I think my cycles are out of whack. My last cycle was 24 days and if I am spotting now, I think it will be early again which means all my bding was all for naught because ovulation timing would be way off.

UGGGG

I just want this to happen fast because of course I am running out of time.

 

[Tui]

Get some cheap opks from ebay. My cycles have been all over the place since having N. You need to know when you are ovulating for a good chance of a bfp, lol.

Im lucky in that the ovulation pain I feel is unmistakable. I don't need opks any more. Really hurts sometimes. That and my tummy blows up like a balloon!

 

[Jenny Bean]

Hi Tui,
I thought my ovulation cues were good too, like cramping and CM but now I am not so sure.
I may have to pick some up for next month

 

[CaliDreaming]

Jenny, the spotting could be implantation bleeding so all is not lost. It's the right time frame for that to happen.

Tui, I wish my ovulation pains were that unmistakable. I do feel mild pain with ovulation but it's not that strong or distinct, so if I'm not really paying attention I miss it. Sometimes it feels like it could be gas or something else.

 

[Jenny Bean]

I hope so Cali....your right all is not lost until AF comes so we shall see
Its funny but the only time me and my husband do it is to TTC lol we are too tired or busy otherwise ahhh

 

[CaliDreaming]

Yeah. Sadly there is no sexy time for us either. It's usually a choice between sleep and sec and sleep has been winning.

Afm I'm 8 dpo and haven't had any cramping or bleeding so it looks like I'm officially out. With both my pregnancies I had those. Looks like it's going to be another long two years. ☹️

Hi ladies. Congrats Tui!

2nd cycle ttc #2 and I've just had a chemical pregnancy . I got a bfp on a frer and 1-2 weeks on a clearblue digital 2 days before my period was due but a week later I started bleeding. I had a feeling something was up as the lines on subsequent tests never got any darker. Feeling very down about it as we had allowed ourselves to get a bit excited.

 

[Tui]

Sorry bluefairy, that sucks. Will you try again straight away?

 

[Bluefairy1]

Thanks Tui. Yes we will. Hoping it won't have messed my cycle up too much.

 

[Jazzbird]

Hello - Can I join? Big 4 0 for me next week. My daughter is 25 months old ... Been ttc for about 6 months although not very hard if you know what I mean! I have very mixed feelings about having another as my girl is the sweetest, happiest little soul and life is easy with her. I think she'd love some company.

Not too crazy about pregnancy or birth as had a rough time and rough recovery ...

 

[Jenny Bean]

I know what you mean Jazz bird.
I think it gets especially hard when we are getting older too, plus we have less time to think about having a second child.
I want my little one to have a sibling so bad but with each passing month it gets harder and harder to believe it will happen.

Good luck to you.

 

[nessaw]

So am in for this month! Had a little oopsy Sat am which I then woke out was cd11 so will wait and see. Not too worried if nothing comes of it this time as Sept would be a better edd.
I know exactly what you mean jazz.
hi all.x
