TTC Baby #2

Omg I haven’t posted here in so long! I can’t believe our littles are 3.5. My husband and I are trying to conceive Baby #2 and this was our first cycle trying. I took two clear blue early detection tests and sadly both were negative even though I am having some symptoms but I’m not sure if it’s all in my head. For those of you who already have your second or are pregnant how long did it take to get pregnant? With our first I was pregnant the first try so I think my expectations may be unrealistic.

My daughter is the same age , it took me two years to get pregnant with her, and my fiance and I are trying now. I'm paranoid as well because my periods are irregular. It's hard to track my ovulation. I've been off birth control for almost 2 months so every little thing makes me think I'm pregnant.

That’s so real! I took my IUD out 3 months ago and I suppose my body is still adjusting and I’m getting use to having my period again so these symptoms could be early PMS. Have tried ovulation strips? I downloaded an app called Premom to track as well.

We have been trying for three months, I forgot what a mind game this is! I thought I was pregnant each month because of symptoms haha. I’m trying so hard not to get caught up in it but it’s hard.

Yeah like the waiting game is so tough and I don’t want to stress myself but it feels like all you do is wait for each phase in the cycle. I think we waited so long and then said we would start and I had a whole plan and timeline and now I’m realizing it’s not that simple.

@Janae I track my ovulation and period, but it can't accurately guess it. I've never had regular periods. I can go a year without bleeding or it could be every other month or 3 months etc. I still ovulate randomly, but actually, menstruating is a coin toss. When I got pregnant with my daughter, the year before I didn't have a single period and then I randomly ovulated .

Awww I’m sure that adds an extra layer of stress and uncertainty! Praying it works out for all of us!

@Janae this is exactly how I feel! I want a spring or summer baby and 2024 wasn’t in the cards so now I feel like we waited too long 😫
