Anyone ttc baby no 2?

hi all, just thought i'd join in as my AF is due in 6 days and i'm already symptom spotting. Feeling bloated etc but no implantation bleed like i had with DS and recent mc. wishing you all luck, keep everything crossed for me too x

Jumping I know, it always seems to happen for others first.

Bewler fingers crossed

Confused you know I've forgotten all about everything that's goes on.

Well I did an OPK earlier and it's neg. I'm Cd13 so there's time yet. Tbh I cba to have sex tonight, DD decided to wake at 12, 3 and 6 last night so I'm a bit tired

Hi ladies, I'm trying very hard not to symptom spot. I've been having cramps for a few days now, but still 6 days until AF is due. We conceived DD on holiday in the first month of trying. I don't remember the 2WW with her being soooooo long.

Does anyone has any idea when implantation takes place as I guess symptoms don't start till then?

I ordered some OPKs but they haven't arrived yet and I'm on CD7 so reckon I'll just have to get on without them this month! Maybe I can trick my body into thinking that I am not expecting to get pregnant this month because I want to use my shiny new digital OPK next month and sod's law will kick in and it'll happen!

2 friends have texted me today to say they're pregnant with number 2.. I am so so happy for them, but it does make me feel anxious for this month >

I'm TTC #2. Our DD (5 months) to nearly two years to concieve. Fingers crossed it doesn't take that long this time

This is my first cycle. Decided last night to go for it after watching OBEM.

I'm hoping to not symptom spot whatever .

Hi - we're onto our 3rd month of ttc. DD is 2 and came along 1st month of ttc (a total shock as I had spent a fruitless 3 years ttc in a previous relationship).

Trying not to obsess about every ache and twinge (or lack of) but can't help myself.

Good luck to everyone.

Hello there. This is my first month of ttc no 2. I have one 5yo boy - it has taken us this long to get our heads around trying for another one. Really.

My fertile days are this weekend and the start of next week - just want it to hurry up!!! We have been planning to start trying in January for the last 6mths so I'm getting impatient. Trying not to get my hopes up though...DS was conceived really quickly and I know that it can be totally different second time round.

Good luck to everybody for this month. Will keep checking in on the thread.

We're ttc #2. DD is 8 months and we tried for nearly 3 years for her. I got Seriously obsessed with charts and temps and opks. Trying not to thus time. Easier said than done.

We were also at fertility clinic last time, although in the end we had a very low level assistance (unstimulated IUI) which meant DD could have been naturally conceived anyway.

Can't go there again as it took me and Dh too close to the edge of sanity and our marriage so praying my womb has got the idea now and dc2 will be easier to conceive.

Hi, Yellowflowers do you mind me asking if you just finally got pregnant last time or if you did anything different? I got preg with DS the 1st month, but DC2 is proving elusive. It's been 2 long years of TTC now, with an early miscarriage in November but nothing else. Trying to remain hopeful but the early excitement has definitely more than worn off now.

Hope I haven't brought this cheery thread down but a positive story from someone else who took a while to succeed is just what I need at the mo.

After 6 months of TTC I am now worrying that worrying about it will mean it doesn't happen! Is there no end to the TTC-neuroses to take over my waking thoughts?

Being relaxed is important

But mopping up DD's sickness bug does get in the way of shagging, dunnit?!

Sometimes I really cringe at the things I said before I had my DD.....not meant unkindly but totally thoughtless like asking my married friends if they were thinking about getting pregnant and if friends that had kids wanted any more. Someone told me the other day that we'd better get on with it if we wanted the optimal 2 year gap (when did that become what we were all supposed to be aiming for?) and I felt seriously cross. Sigh....hindsight is a funny thing! Good luck to you too jumpingfrog. DD woke a ridiculous 3 times last night so I am feeling less broody this morning....

Hi Bewler
Yes I'm finding it very hard not to obsess about it. It doesn't help that loads of people keep asking me when I'm going to have another baby, and I really don't want to say we're TTC..
Just got to keep ourselves occupied with other things and not stress too much.Good luck for this month! X

Hello, I haven't been on MN since I was TTC my first DC and she is now nearly 17 months! We always said we would TTC DC2 in 2012 and its come around so quickly. We "took away the goalie" (as my DH would say) at the start of the year and I just got AF after a poxy 21 days...boo! Sulked a bit about it at the weekend until DH pointed out it was seriously optimistic to hope to get preggers in the first month. I still secretly hoped that I would be one of this incredibly lucky people.... is anyone else finding it hard to pretend to be casual about the whole TTC thing but actually being really excited and trying not to obsess about which day of the month it is? I'm not very good at just seeing what happens (yes, yes Mum I know I am a control freak!). I have two good friends who are also TTC#2 and I know its wrong but I feel its a bit like a race so I am keeping schtum about it except on here.....anyway, trying to take a chill pill and wishing everyone luck!

Me too. Dd nearly 13 months and took 2.5 yrs ttc. Periods not back yet tho but would like to get pg this year ideally

The DH and I have just decided today to start ttc bambino number 2!!! My DD is 15 months and I hope this time it happens as quickly as last time. I came off the pill the end of Jully DH went to Afghanistan early September came home on R&R in the January and hey presto I had bun in the oven! Quite exciting but also dauanting wondering what it will be like having 2 or possibly 3 as twins are on both sides of my family and have skipped a generation on both sides!!!!

We're about to. DS is just over a year. Thought I was pg this month (would have been accidental but I got quite het up about symptom spotting- think I might have been briefly), AF arrived Monday though. We're both a bit disappointed so have brought forward the plans to try for no. 2!

My cycle had been pretty regular till this month when I was 10 days late.. That drove me mad..anyway new month, new opportunity! Anyone got some tactics in place? I'm stocked up with OPKs and conception vitamins!!

yeah we're trying for number two as well, have been since last June and had 2 mc's since then. hopefully third time lucky!

We are trying for number two!

We have a 5 year old DS but he was a suprise so we've never done the whole 'TTC' thing before.

I came off the pill at the end of november and got my first period on the 1st January.

Any tips would be greatly recieved because I'm a bit clueless (other than the very obvious thing I need to do...)

You're not the only one going mad. I'm convinced my work stress headache is a symptom, as I suffered terribly from them in the early days of my first pg. But it is very unlikely, as I still have 13 days until AF!!

(not sure I'll maintain my sanity until then! goes to lie down in darkened room)

We just started trying too!

I had coil out mid-December, got AF straightaway, and am pretty sure I ovulated two weeks later.

I have been feeling pregnancy (sore boobs, nausea, etc) but think that could be adjusting to not having coil in or I am just imagining it (crazy woman...).

AF is due, if my cycle is back straight away, in a couple of days.

Anyone else imagined pregnancy symptoms because at the moment I feel like I am going mad...

Confused mum - I'm the same! We conceived in the first month of ttc with dd1 but we were dtd every day...I'm not sure I have the energy for that any more these days!

We're just starting to try for number 2, DD is 20 months... Trying not to over think about it, but once you set your mind to it, it's hard not to..!

We've just started trying for number 2. Dd (17 months old) happened so easily that my DH is fairly relaxed about it, but as I'm fast approaching 37, I just want to get on with it. having conceived dd first time I now have very unrealistic expectations, which though I'm trying to keep in check, I know I'll be devestated if I'm not pg by the end of the month. In fact, I think I'm more anxious about getting pg this time round.
