Second Time Shaggers, You know who you are......

How exciting show! My dd is 8 months concieved her first go and really nervous it'll take us a long time for number 2. Going to start ttc number 2 in Jan and enjoying my dd atm :-)

Oh hello, can I join? We've only just agreed to start trying today and I'm not even gonna see DP till Saturday but I'm so excited!

Hello alabama. Of course you can join us. Do you want to tell us a bit about yourself and your dc1?

Hello everyone, we're hoping to ttc #number 2 in Jan, so a few months off but can I join too?

Great news about the temp shift, at least it's a positive sign that your body's doing its thing even if its not exactly the same time every month.

I'm just as bad at amazon, can't go on that site without ending up spending a fortune on things (usually more stuff that DD doesn't need!). Just means that now you have lots of sticks to pee on plus toys to play with, and it's so much more fun trying to decide whether or not there's a line instead of having it in writing

I came off the pill in June hh so this is only cycle 2. As soon as I posted about no ov and a long cycle this time, I got a temp shift the following day, so I must have just not noticed it. Didn't get any of my usual symptoms though

I've ordered some cheap opks and hpts off eBay for next month.......and got sucked into bidding on a load of toys for DS so for the amount I've spent I may as well have bought a load of clear blue tests from the pharmacy

Glad I'm not all alone in here :) When did you come off the pill bunny?

I think everyone got pg last month except for you and me hh . Hope you see ertd soon

I was feeling quite positive after last month that my cycles had come back straight away, despite the lack of bfp. This month however, I'm on cd 17 with no signs of impending ov at all. Looks like it's going to be the same as ttc the first time, and I'm going to have random cycle lengths again. Strange as they were like clockwork when I was younger before I ever went on the pill. I assume that it just takes my body a while to adjust to coming off the pill, but I always have this niggling doubt that it's a sign there's something more to it. I suppose I'll just have to give it 6months and if there's no bfp and still irregular cycles then I'll go and ask to be investigated.

Quiet in here, I keep thinking ERTD (although right now it would be the Welcome RTD :)) is about to show up but nothing, wishful thinking? Almost 2 years since my last cycle started now ...

pixie maybe all the bfps will rub off on you, and you'll end up pg just by having posted here

There's a few reasons why no bfp this time around is actually good. Firstly, I'd probably have spent the whole time worrying I'd develop slapped cheek and then be at risk of mc. Second, I'm due a follow up chest X-ray next week after a work colleague contracted tb and didn't realise for ages, so everyone at the practice has had to undergo a whole load of testing. Much as I'm convinced I haven't caught it, it would be good to get this X-ray for peace of mind. Finally, I want my birthday

kurly hope you manage to avoid too much sickness on your hols

It's always good when there's a positive about not being pg, bunny! I'm worrying about our holiday in 4 weeks which will be the height of sickness...

Probably for the best after W's slapped cheek too. Still horrible to get your period though. I am due on today and I feel all miserable about no BFP - and we aren't even trying!! Loony!

As predicted, cd2 for me today. Not too disappointed though..it's my birthday on Friday so at least now I can have a drink or three to celebrate

That sounds about right Bunny as September is far and away the busiest month for births here.

Terrible grammar from me there, obviously I meant babies not baby's. I blame the fact that DS is dancing to Dorothy the Dinosaur while standing on the coffee table and distracting me!

Don't think the luck of this thread has rubbed off on me this month. Temp is now back to pre-ov levels, so I expect to see af in the next couple of days. On the plus side I have actually had a pretty normal cycle, which took at least 3 months or so to happen last time around, so I'm happy that all my bits seem to be working

Didn't want a March baby anyway.....read something the other day that it's the busiest month for births here, as the baby's are conceived mid-winter when there's not much else to do on a dark winter's night but have unprotected sex, and I don't want to end up discovering the hospital's full when I go into labour. I mainly realised that a March baby means I'd be heavily pg during Feb which is the hottest and humidest month of the year, and given the way I swelled up in the heat with DS I think I'd probably end up being put in the zoo when someone mistook me for an escaped hippo

Have set up a grads fred here if that appeals...?

Thanks pixie! Wish I could fast-forward a few months though...

And congratulations to you too Kurly! This is the happiest thread EVER!

Oh Fudge I'm so so happy to hear your news! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I don't think you have any idea of how much we all think about you and Elliott. I'm sure he is watching proudly over his little brother right now. Please come back and tell us all about DS2 when you have a spare minute. Congratulations! xxx

fudge such wonderful news, huge congrats to you and your oh. I'm so pleased that it all went well for you, hope the first few weeks are a lovely babymoon!!

bunny it ain't over till it's over!!!!!

bunny, boohiss to the temp spike comparisons - but it's not over til it's over!

I did a clearblue digital test this morning and it came up with pregnant nice and quickly and then decided on 2-3 weeks since conception. So what did I then find myself doing? Googling iCandy Peach Blossom converters, despite the fact that I refuse to buy anything until after 20 weeks...!

fudge that's such happy news, many congratulations! Hope you are enjoying every second xx

Not been keeping up to date with this thread like I should have!

Yorkshire - - how are you?! How's Eleanor? Motherhood's obviously agreeing with you if you're going for no. 2!

Curly - wonder how she is and how her arthritis is? Would be nice if she popped in to say hello. I don't think I ever knew if she had a boy or a girl last time?

And Fudge - how amazing! Well done, you clever lady! Dying to hear DS2's name?! Hope you will join us on Fb? (The more the merrier seeing as I'm clearly such a poor stalker these days!)

YB (aka WhiteRoses) x

fudge thank you so much for sharing this wonderful news with us. You are never far from our thoughts. Enjoy this special time and if you fancy it come on over to Facebook like bunny said no question too ridiculous and plenty of advice and laughs!

Hello to new shaggers too first time back on mn for a long time! I have dd 18mo and no current plans to try for a second just yet, maybe in another year or so!
