Ttc #2! Buddies?

[krissie328]

I am currently waiting on af. I'm expecting her May 8-12. And then I'm going to be ttc #2!

Anyone else wanna join me on this journey? I had a really great group of gals but I've been ltttc and they are all having their babies now. So I'm hoping for another group of ladies to try and hopefully go through pregnancy with.

Hi!
I'm ttc no 2 , lo is coming up 8 months and this is my 5th cycle ttc, I'm on cd 12 of a 32 day cycle..... Just trying to bd every other day, but with oh so busy and working late it easier said than done haha
Trying my hardest not to stress over it but I'm just trying to give my dd a sibling close in age, I also had it I my head I would be pregnant before maternity finishes in 3 months and I wouldn't go back to work just yet . But the way things are going that's not going to happen!

 

[krissie328]

Hi Lucy! I wanted a closer age gap but it just hasn't worked out. But I'm pretty excited with the one we will likely get of 2.5 years.

We snuggled getting in bd during the week. We don't see each other due to our schedules so it has to be early morning. So hopefully we make it work this coming cycle. I'd love a little Feb bundle.

Hey Krissie, I keep running into you on threads, so I figured I'd join you here too. My appointment of May 13 can't come soon enough. I'm a little bummed though because I am just sure I will be getting AF before that appointment so I'll likely have to wait until the next cycle before taking my first round of clomid. I'm crossing my fingers that somehow AF decides to hold off past May 13 for this cycle.

 

[krissie328]

Hi klabro! Fx she stays away for you so you don't have to wait longer!

I'm super excited for af to show. But I'm currently on progesterone to make her come.

 

[klabro]

If AF doesn't show by May 13th I'll be surprised but I will also ask for Progesterone to get things started then too. I'm ready for the nerves of first tri rather than the nerves of TTC

 

[krissie328]

Oh isn't that the truth. Ttc is such a hard rollercoaster for me so I am really excited to be pregnant again. I'm really hoping this round of clomid is it as the due date would be perfect.

 

[klabro]

I would love a due date in February/March so I am hoping for some positive results from my first round of clomid. Both of my previous pregnancies were from first round of clomid 50mg days 5-9. However, because of the twins last time she is wanting to do an even lower dose of clomid this time. Not so sure how I feel about that as I'm afraid it won't work and I'll be putting myself through all of that with no results.

 

[krissie328]

Yes, both of mine were also first round clomid. So I'm really hoping we get pregnant first round. I have enough left to do 3 rounds at 50 mg. So I'm really really hoping it's one of those.

 

[klabro]

Fingers crossed for us both. Even after the clomid has worked twice before I get an irrational fear that somehow it won't work this time. I'm always such a worrywart.

 

[krissie328]

Me too! I'm so paranoid that it won't work and our only choice will be ivf which we can't afford. Even though logically I know there are a lot of options in between. My doctor even suggested femara if clomid doesn't work these next couple of cycles.

 

[klabro]

I know there are so many options in between as well but my brain jumps straight to the worst. Given our track record with clomid (on the low dose) I am sure we will both be fine. It is just scary when you don't know. I mean even if we didn't respond to the low dose of clomid, there is still a higher dose. I know all of this, but in my head I just keep thinking "but what if I can't".

 

[tweetybird818]

Well, Krissie, i feel like i am basically stalking you now but I'd love to join you here too.

Our babies are close in age too, maybe we will both luck out soon and have a close age gap between them too

Klabro, what you said is so true, you can always increase the dose if you need. I think your dr is dojng the right thing, they want to minimize the risks for you while giving you the best chance. Of course i am impatient so I'd worried just the same too. Good luck.

 

[krissie328]

Welcome tweety!

 

[klabro]

Welcome tweety!
So this cycle (although unmedicatated) I have been taking OPK's just for the heck of it, even though I doubt I'm ovulating. I had one that was positive earlier this month...and now, I've had a positive one 5 days in a row!! Dang PCOS and the random hormonal surges. I was on birth control after my twin loss and stopped taking it in January so I really have no baseline for what my cycles have been since then. It's only been a couple months and they have been semi regular since I stopped the BC. I should be due for AF any time now. At this point it's been long enough that I'm hoping that it'll just hold out until right before or after my doctors appointment so I can start the clomid. I just keep getting that thought "what if I got pregnant naturally this time"...maybe I should throw those OPK's away. Sorry for the rant...I'm a little emotional tonight.

 

[krissie328]

How are you ladies doing?

I am feeling very anxious today. I am excited for af to start but nervous about getting back into ttc. I am trying to figure out a way to keep myself calmer this cycle. Its my last month of work before summer break so I am hoping that will help me not obsess to much.

 

[tweetybird818]

I've been super calm so far. So very very unlike me haha. But maybe contributing to the fact that i got a bfp yesterday. Sooooo shocked. Had to go out and buy a digi to confirm and get a rough guess on dates haha

 

[klabro]

Wow! Congrats to you tweety! Happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[krissie328]

Congrats Tweety!! I don't know how I didn't see this before.

How are you doing Klabro?

I am seriously still waiting on af to arrive. I did have a temp drop this morning and I am getting cramps in my back so fx that means she is coming!!

 

[BrendaJ]

Hello Ladies, Hope you gals don't mind if I join too. I also have been LTTTC #2. I'm on CD 5 of a appx 32 day cycle. I chart My BBT, have PCOS so cycles can vary, began a Vitex regimen last month (seemed to have helped, so continuing it), and if things don't go as planned, I am seeking professional help from my fertility specialist.

Congrats on your BFP tweety.

NTNP since 2013 & TTC since June of 2015 (I did a Femera cycle in July but BFN)
