Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone is trying for baby number 2?

I've been 'sort of' trying for two months, but this month am really determined! I think i'm supposed to ovulate this wednesday, so BD'd today, yesterday... etc!!

I have a 15 month old DD....

cheshire did another CB Digital on day 40 which was negative and came on the next day. I am sure my body is laughing at me, each time I splash out on a CB Digital I come on the next day lol.

CheshireDing · 09/06/2012 20:39

Congratulations lazzaroo :)

Any news Heels?

Have you made any decisions since Raspberry?

I saw a sign in the beauticians this week for reflexology to help with conceiving - I emailed to ask for further information but it's a bit expensive - 6-8 sessions £35 per session :(

MrsWajs · 30/05/2012 20:09

Ooh can I join? Thinking about TTC no. 2 in the not too distant future. My DD is 13 months and took a year to conceive so realistically we're planning on it taking just as long second time round! Hoping not to be completely mental this time though and just go with the flow as it will be my last.

HaveToWearHeels · 30/05/2012 15:25

sorry, I seem to have ommitted the word "day" from my post !

HaveToWearHeels · 30/05/2012 15:19

Ladies, I need a little advise. I am on 40 of my cycle, usually have a 26-28 cycle. Did a Clearblue Digital test on day 30 and an internet cheapie on day 37, both negative. I had HCG surge on day 13 and DTD on days 12 & 14. Anyone else gone this long and found they were preggers ? Shall I wait a few days and do another test. I am off on holiday Monday and don't want to drink if I could be pregnant.

lazzaroo · 26/04/2012 19:14

Woo hoo! Positive test today :-) Went to visit friends yesterday and she told me she was pregnant, due in October. Obviously I was pleased but also made me rush out this morning and get a test...just to see! and it was positive. I bought an early predictor, but based on the NHS due date calculator and my dates I could be 4 weeks gone. Fingers crossed now that all goes okay as I had a very early miscarriage before conceiving my DD. I'm a bit nervous it's going to happen again.

Hope everyone else is doing okay. Any more results? x

taylorsweet · 17/04/2012 22:29

well i have a 7 year old from my first marriage! Have been with my second husband for two years now and we are thinking of a baby maybe simetime nextSmile big gap i know but that's lifeSad it's been so long though some days i think i don't have the energy to do it all over again! I will be 29 in august.....i worry i am getting too old

Raspberryjam · 17/04/2012 22:17

Well done Stabiliser - congrats.

AFM this round of ivf with icsi hasn't worked - we put back two embryos - but AF made an appearance 2 weeks after egg collection.
Trying to work out what if anything to do next.....

Finding it hard to think I have reached end of road - don't feel that I have yet - but the ups and downs of ivf are so extreme at times.

Anyway good luck to all on here!

lazzaroo · 10/04/2012 19:54

Hi all. I haven't been on here for ages but it's nice to see some positive results. None here I'm afraid! I have tried hard to convince myself that I have an 'it wil happen' attitude but really, deep down, I thought it might have happened by now!

I fell pregnant so wuickly first time around that I'm now worried it's never going to happen! I am beginniing to think that ignorance is bliss and first time round we knew so little about when, how etc to try that we just did it and bingo!

Only time will tell....good luck everyone else!

RIBS · 29/03/2012 14:00

congrats stabliser

I havent been on for ages. Wow. You could be more than half way no getting your 12 wk scan! Very exciting.
Ive had a very strong positive Ov test earl;y this week. And ive done all I can. Just gottage sit back for the 2WW.

But like Bewler my DD is just being so cute and funny at the mo, shes 3 (going on 13!), you've gotta ask yourself, can I possibly love another child as much as I love her. Id like to think I can. Do you think other mums with 2 or more have a favourite or feel like they do.

My DD would dearly love a brother (or sister) but she's used to being an only child. I think the whole adjustment think would be quite a learning curve.

Quite deep isnt it- and iv only just started the 2ww. Wait until the last few days, il be receiting socrates!

HaveToWearHeels · 28/03/2012 16:39

Congrats stabiliser how exciting
AF arrived for me this morning :(

CheshireDing · 19/03/2012 17:04

Yeh!!! Congratulations Stabiliser it's been quiet for BFP for a bit on here now.

Very pleased for you :)

stabiliser15 · 19/03/2012 12:16

Update - AF still hadnt arrived after 7 weeks so, despite two BFN in the two weeks after I thought AF was due, I tested again yesterday without any expectation at all and... BFP! No idea about dates etc given cycle apparently a bit random, but could be as many as 7 weeks along, although reckon conception was probably late Feb, given BFNs in early March.

Good luck to all others TTC.

Bewler · 11/03/2012 19:39

Hi everyone,

Just checking in and taking a well earned rest from SWI Grin. Hope you all had a good weekend.

CD11 and trying to be super nonchalant this month. Excited about going skiing on Saturday for a week so the 2WW should pass fairly easily this month. Plus dd is being so charming and lovely I am finding it easy to enjoy things as they are

Hai1988 · 09/03/2012 10:35

hi guys am very excited as me and DH have decided to come of the pill and ttc No 2 Smile

I am just wondering what peoples experiences are of coming of the pill mavelon.

Also what sort of things I should be doing now apart from the obvious Wink

What foods I should be eating to increase fertility and things to avoid.

Any advice would be greatly apricated and just wanted to share my news as were not telling anyone apart from one very close friend in rl

PrincessPrecious · 09/03/2012 09:48

ConfusedMum - I am the same. DD came along first month of trying. Am more worried 2nd time around. Plus DH has been away working a lot in the week so haven't had the chance to have sex that much unfortunately! Would love no 2 but don't know much about how to TTC (apart from the obvious) as no 1 came along so quickly.

Raspberryjam · 08/03/2012 21:06

CheshireDing reading my post again - realised I sounded like a raving nutter! - think I was super PMT during the acupuncture. AF came yesterday so am (slightly) more human today Blush -
Glad your result ok.

CheshireDing · 08/03/2012 06:47

Gosh that sounds extreme Raspberry.

Fx crossed for next time Margie

I have had the results of my dodgey smear cells so all okay, only mild changes (which it always is anyway) so back on ttc. Although probably pretty pointless without an AF due to hungry, snuffle monster feeding baby :)

Raspberryjam · 06/03/2012 10:18

Morning Ladies,
Glad all worked out so far CWest30 - great news.

Sorry it didn't work this month Margie32 - hope you enjoy the wine tonight.

I went for acupuncture on Saturday and it was incredibly relaxing - towards the end of the treatment I was in floods of tears, lying there with the needles in - thinking about when I was small and about my mum who died a few years ago . The acupuncturist thought it was a good thing as there were emotions in there needing released. I was exhausted rest of the day but slept like a log next two nights. Waiting for AF now as stopped norethisterone and having Prostap injection on Friday - with acupuncture in the afternoon.

Hope the rest are having a good Tuesday.

Margie32 · 06/03/2012 08:07

AF arrived this morning...Sad. Bugger, I so hoped that this was going to be our month...

Hey ho, onwards and upwards. Going to buy myself some cheapo OPKs and agnus castus from amazon today, next month I'm getting serious! And tonight I'm going to have a big glass of Wine with the DH.

CWest30 · 04/03/2012 20:33

Well, I finally took the plunge and told hubby, but took the cowards way out!! he went fishing all day today so took a pic on my phone of my BFP and sent it to him in a text lol saying I had no idea and that I loved him. I waited ALL DAY but got no response....just when I convinced myself he was going to leave me he finally phoned. Tentivley I asked if he was OK, and he replied "yeah, why, wouldn't I be?" I said "well, you know, I thought you would be shocked" he said "about what?" In the end I said "did you get my text?" and he goes "yeah but coz its rained all day I couldnt really get to my phone, why?!" By now I'd had enough so I came straight out with it. After a split seconds silence he said" Thats ok, I guessed as much coz you havent been well for the last couple of weeks, and your af hasnt come" So after all that worrying, hes completly ok with it! We know we have lots to sort out, what with my starting a new job in the morning aarrrgghh, but we are going to take it one day at a time, so first stop drs!!! Thanks for all your support, hope you all get your BFPs soon xxxxxxx

CWest30 · 04/03/2012 09:32

Thanks for the support :-) from the site, it looks like I should be entitled to SOMETHING regarding maternity pay and leave, now just got 2 tell hubby, wish me luck, Im def going to need it!!

Bewler · 04/03/2012 09:24

Congratulations CWest!! Grin I'm sure it seems a bit scary but there is rarely a perfect time to get pregnant and once your DH is on board you'll have lots of support and be able to enjoy it. Hope you get some good maternity pay advice.
