Well, I'm 11 dpo. We're TTC our 2nd child.
Actually, we were planning to try later this summer, hoping for a late spring baby so my mom (who works for a school district) could come help for the WHOLE summer.
Then my husband (the pessimist and only child) suddenly was feeling like our son needs a sibling, so we went ahead and tried this cycle. Now, he's back to pessimism, and wants me to look up adoption information (something I've always wanted to do in addition to having my own!) because he finds pregnancy so scary/risky/improbable. I should say he is a research scientist (molecular embryologist) and spends all his time discovering how pregnancy can go WRONG. It is hard for him to let that out of his head for our own efforts!
Anyway, I've been feeling... some stuff... I'm afraid it is wishful thinking! No sore boobs (major sign of the 1st pregnancy!), but last week (around 4-8 dpo) I had slight abdominal cramps that I usually wouldn't. I've also felt extra hungry, plus extra tired, PLUS I haven't made it through the night without getting up to pee for the past several days.
Then again, I've just realized that I'm coming down with a cold (thank you, darling toddler son!) instead of merely allergies, so maybe I'm thrown off by that. It seems impossibly lucky to have gotten pregnant on our first try...
With our first, I was charting (temps, CM, CP, plus using OPK) religiously for a year before (because I was ready before DH) and we got pregnant in 4 months of trying. This time, I'm older by a few years, plus still nursing my toddler (just once a day at bedtime), plus have too erratic sleep to chart temps.
Anyone TTC a 2nd child? I don't remember feeling so much so early with my son.
Just hoping for some moral support. I'm trying to be strong and wait to POAS. With my son, I didn't get a positive until 8 days past my expected date for AF (22 dpo.) I don't know if that is likely again because it is my genes or if it is up to the embryo. I bought a 2 pack of tests in case I am wrong (or give in to temptation too early.) I stood in the drugstore for 20 minutes debating the 2-pack or 3-pack.
Making babies makes me crazy!
