Anyone ttc baby no 2?

Can I join in please? We've got a bigger age gap than most on here. Were meant to try last year but I had a tricky year with health stuff so here we are now.

DS took stupidly short time to conceive but then I was younger and had super regular periods. Had massively irregular periods since then. Went to drs and after checks indicated nothing obvious causing them he just said it could seriously affect my fertility. But no advice.

So TTC but feeling v despondent about it all esp tonight as also ill and in no mood for any trying.

Sorry to be quite so eeyore-ish.

We've started ttc dc2, dd is 1 in a fortnight and I'm 37 next week so we decided we'd best get on with it!

I was on the pill for 3.5 months, stopped taking it on new years eve and have had one AF since then so now have vague idea of when I'll be ovulating next.

That could be true. Since my periods returned after dd my cycle length has varied from 26 to 29 days. It is day 27 tomorrow, soooo it may have been a little early. Also, I haven't broken out in pre-menstral acne this month, so either I am pregnant, or I've got unexpectedly clear skin. Win win

Thanks Brambule.

Confused, as you say there's still time yet. I think I ovulate early which would explain thr early positive too, maybe you ovulate a bit later? keeping everything crossed for you and that AF doesn't visit either of us in the next few days!

Congrats madaboutmadmen and good luck with next test ConfusedMum.

Am surround by friends/family/work colleagues who are pregnant. It's making me so broody I think my ovaries could self combust any second. Never anticipated getting as baby obsessed with ttc2 as I did DD1.

I cracked and got a BFN . Never mind, it's not over until AF arrives. However, with dd I tested on AF due day and it was so faint I thought it was an evaporation line, so there is still hope!

Good luck everyone else.

do you feel like you could be pregnant? my belly is bloated like a balloon already. Boobs are swelling too . It won't make any diff if you wait so give yourself another day if you're happy with that.

Congratulations madaboutmen

I'm toying with the idea of testing tomorrow. AF due on Wednesday, really want to know, but if I do test and get a bfn, then that's a day of hope gone. Arrrgh, any advice ladies?

'get' even!

Thanks JF, no need to apologise, I'm trying to gret down with the lingo too

madabout sorry for all the acronyms, and massive congrats..!!

Come on then ladies.. Who's next for a BFP?

Hey baileyslover did you POAS?? Don't leave us hanging.....smile

RichardandJudy - i love that nickname .

ok - so an OPK is something to do with ovulation? afraid I'm not down with the kids on all of these abbreviations but I'm getting there slowly nonetheless. Congrats!

I've just POAS and got an early BFP !!!

Not due till Thursday though :-s so AF could still come....

jumping frog that's so exciting!

ddas its so hard to judge the age gap thing especially when TTC is such an unknown timeframe. A small age gap might be hard in the sense that you'd have two babies in nappies and DS1 might still want to be carried/held a lot and need a lot of attention which might be tiring but if that doesn't phase you go for it! You musn't worry what other people think! My friend is about to have DC2 with only a 16 month gap and people have spent her whole pregnancy telling her how tough its going to be, even before they've said congratulations so she's had to be a bit thick skinned about people's reactions. But really, as long as you and your DH are happy then v-sign to everyone else

Oh great Jumping Frog :)

Based on 6mths of charting my cycle on Fertility Friend, I am predicted to ov tomorrow. Had neg OPK tonight so will try again tomorrow. Pinning my OH to the bed is in my plans also...

Congrats JumpingFrog !!

Ooooh positive result on OPK last night.... DTD..Just acting casual..

we're thinking of starting to TTC #2 but in two minds about it:
have a 6 month old ds who was born in august. We've always wanted 2 dc and a 2 year age gap ( well a 2 school year age gap). theoretically means we could wait till ds a bit older before ttc no2 but I am not keen on having another summer baby as do worry about him being the youngest in the year and struggling at school. Although I was a late summer baby and have done very well as have many of my summer peers but with your kids you worry about everything lol! So we've been thinking about ttc from now to aim for a dc earlier in the school year with still the 2 school yr age gap. but if I was to get pregnant in the first cycle as I did with ds he would only be 14/15 months old- but of course just because it was easy to conceive no1 does not automatically the same will be true for no2! Silly thing is that although I know it would be hard I would be happy with that age gap if it meant dc2 would be earlier in the school year but what is worrying me is what people in rl will think or say. I've already had quite a few people say we're quite young to have dc- I'm 27 DH is 28, we both have very good jobs (mine is letting me go back part time next month) and salaries and have our own house so not really sure what the issue is but makes me think people will have even more to say about the small age gap as a result. sorry for the long message but hard discuss this with people in rl!!! I know I really shouldn't think about what people will say but lets be honest we all do care what people think of us lol.

That's number 2 not number 232... blinking iPhone

Yep, think I'm ready to join this thread. DS is 21 months and we've completely forgotten about waking in the night and are totally winging the sums to make 2 sets of nursery fees work out and are tentatively TTC%232. It took about 4 months to conceive our little treasure and I fell pregnant first month of trying for %232 in November; sadly I miscarried at 8 weeks on Christmas day. I'm pretty laid back about it and having just finished my 1st period since the miscarriage (and a month of excessive intake of raw meat and booze) I'm feeling ready to go for it again. Wish me luck girls, I'm going in! Here's to 2012 bringing a raft of newborns for us to cope with coo over...

Another friend has announced a pregnancy today... Must be something in the water....

Ok just looked at a couple of pregnancy tests I had at the back of the cupboard from last time, and they are out of date will go to the shops first thing tomorrow and will let you know. Feel like I am weeing for Britain all of a sudden so little bit hopeful

So an hour of yoga distracted me from the dreaded 2WW. Only 4 more days to go, not sure I can maintain my sanity 'till Wednesday.

Good luck with the POAS bailyslover

baileyslover you HAVE to POAS

Can I join in? My DS is 14 months and we started TTC after Christmas. My AF is 3 days late......do I POAS now or wait? I am definately symptom spotting, but can't tell if the mild cramps are premenstrual or implantation pains. Eek!
