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

I got a smiley face on my OPK this morning (CD21) but no ovulation pain as yet so I'll be interested to see what happens over the next couple of days. Think I'll keep doing the sticks as I've not done them through a cycle before... So we might be 2ww buddies, tribble!

Any symptoms, flo...?!

How's everyone else? Was in town yesterday doing some toy shopping (!) and EVERYONE seemed to be pregnant!

Halo Ooooo good luck!

I'm waiting on a positive OPK as well, but I can tell my body is up to something as my ovaries frikkin hurt!!! I keep getting pains right deep down in my hips. I can only figure that everything is kick starting itself again after the implant.

Bazzle I have a 14mo DD, we haven't used contraception since she was born but cycles only returned at 10mo as i'm breastfeeding. Technically this is cycle 3 but really its the first time we have a chance I think so i'm calling it cycle 1.

No sign of ERTD but i'm only about 9/10 dpo. Last month my LP was 10/11 days (i can't be exact with ovulation as a positive OPK gives you 12-36 hours notice)

No symptoms either, apart from still being a bit ill with this rotten cold and cough.

Yorkshire! Fab to see you!! I'm not really here.. But am nosily watching the thread with envy interest!!

Welcome Bazzle! Being a Frolicker is fab, hope BFPs start popping up soon!

[WH goes back to non-TTCing land to try and convince DS that he doesn't need to wear his hat in the bath..]

kurly I seem to remember reading something somewhere about dropping in water, one floats the other doesn't? Haven't got a clue where I read it though, maybe I made it up!

Welcome bazzle, I'm still waiting for my cycles to return but still bf about every 3-4 hours day and night so could be waiting a while, hoping to get lucky with an early egg!

Hi Cheery and Kurly :)

In at the deep end! For 'me' i think EWCM is stretchy/elastic and clear where as leftovers are cloudy and more gloopy?! Also has more of a distinct smell i think (sorry TMI but you asked!)

Hope this is your month!

Welcome bazzle! I should not strictly be here as not yet TTC - I have a one year old DD and hope to start trying again in a few months' time.

No idea kurly, used to baffle me too! Also, how is your DS sleeping now btw? We are still having ridiculous night sleep - DD is clearly exhausted by 7 ish and then suddenly gets a second wind after bath + milk and won't sleep for ages. Two nights ago it was 10 - then last night it was 8 and I was v pleased, but followed by 10-12 awake time. I wouldn't mind if she was happy to be alone but I have to be there with her or she screams... . Any tips welcome.

Hi Bazzle and welcome to the thread! I have a nearly-15-month old DS and am in the middle of baby-making time. Congratulations on your wedding!

I'm struggling (TMI alert) with the distinction between CM and, er, left-overs from the previous night's shenanigans... Ew! What does everyone else do in this sticky situation?!

Hi Haloflo thanks for the welcome. How nice that you kept the thread going :)

My DS is nearly 22 months old now, i probably would have started TTC earlier but we got married in December and then had a run of wedding/hen do's that i wanted to have fun at!

Got pregnant first time round straight away so was kind of hoping that would happen this month but i think i am on my way out and onto cycle 4 now. Am not very patient!!

How old is your DC and how long have you been trying this time round? x

Bazzle Hello, course its fine for you to join us - just be warned we all posted on a thread a couple of years ago when trying for DC1 and kept in contact through pregnancy and the first year/year and a half so we all know each other.

Tell us more about yourself? How old is DC1? And 7 days of positive opks!? How confusing. I usually get a couple of days postive and then the second line fades off and I stop testing until its time to use a HPT

I am drinking my usual morning coffee whilst DD throws in a bonus morning nap. Just when I think we are in a routine...

The coffee tastes normal

Hello hello, also on another thread but keen to join in with anyone TTC number 2. Is that ok?

I'm on cycle 3, CD32 with irregular cycles - think this one will be 38ish but i got 7 days worth of positive OPK's so who knows!

Maybe stock up on cheap opks hh? Its rubbish having cycles (im still not in habit of packing the essentials!) but at the same time I feel so frustrated for you. Fingers crossed they come back soon and you catch an early egg. x

On a good day 4 times, evening, 2 night feeds and morning. On a bad she wants feeding late afternoon and a lot more at night but then I skip the morning one. We did drop the evening one with some success but then the hot weather and our holiday messed that up. We haven't really fed in the day for 5 months now baring one D&V bug. I'm glad about that as I was shy feeding out and about when she was tiny!

It's tieing (sp?) and tiring but I can't see an easy way out. Most feeds are snuggley tired in bed (except evening) so no acrobatics or anything. Good luck, let me know how you get on.

I don't feel relaxed but then I not a relaxed person. Plus id have happily been pregnant 6 months ago!

I keep wondering whether to dig out my thermometer to see if it gives me any clues to what my body's up to but I usually end up lying awake for about an hour desperately trying to get DD (and myself) back to sleep before I admit defeat around 6-6.30am so don't know if it would be too accurate.

Bunny 835 day cycle :o

Halo Me too, I don't think I can be faffed with it for too long. Although I don't feel the need to go mad this time. I do feel quite relaxed about it all actually.

How are you feeling? How much are you still feeding? I'm trying to stop with DS, I'm doing don't offer, don't refuse. I'm giving it a few weeks and see how he goes. I'm not enjoying it anymore and I'm fed up of getting kicked in the face by flailing limbs.

tribble and kurly I hope you have a fruitful couple of weeks.

bunny just opks here. I'm not going near a thermometer this time as that was the road to madness for me last time. Also DD wakes too so really wouldn't know what time to do it.

No symptoms, less crazy feelings that last month and as this horrid cold goes I'm feeling pretty good. Think I'm about 6/7 dpo though so early days. Last lp was only 10 days from first postive ok so I will just be pleased if that lengthens tbh.

yorkshiretea not sure if you remember me but I remember your BFP, it was either just before or just after I started to post.

I've still got my thermometer from last time around, I found it in the back of a cupboard today and it still works.. I got the fertility friend app today, and logged in with my old details. As I haven't updated it since I got my bfp with Will it had me on cd 835 I think I will give temping a go again as my cycles were very irregular before I went back on the pill, and I don't want to be getting my hopes up and testing every month only to find I was just having a long cycle. Just not sure how accurate it'll be with Will waking me up at random times ranging between 4:30 and 6:30 every day

bunny I already have my thermometre and opk tests, btw eBay is cheaper than poundland.

UCL ?? CD 12.

I am vowing to be relaxed this time around and not get bogged down in temping and spending hours analysing charts. I just don't know if I can resist the call of the thermometer for much longer though

Oooh, hello Yorkshire! Long time no see. Sorry that you've got to cycle 9 already but very pleased to have lots of former FTF joining the thread here.

Bunny, good for you on being positive about the arrival of ERTD this month. Maybe your DH is secretly hoping for a girl with his lycra...? Next thing you know he'll be having hot baths! We have commenced this month's deed-doing and am POmydailyS waiting for smiley faces.

I'd better add my stats:

kurlyvoice - Cycle 3 UCL39 CD15

yorkshire how are you? Was wondering if this thread would encourage some long lost Frolickers to rejoin us and it worked

Minor excitement for me yesterday when I realised ertd should have arrived 3 days ago, but it showed up about an hour before I headed to the shops to buy tests. At least I didn't waste my money only to get a bfn though.

So I'm now officially on cycle 1. Doubt I'll get lucky this month though as DH has taken to wearing his new skin tight running trousers all the time, even when he's just sitting around watching tv I think he's waiting for his call up for the Olympics or something. Have tried suggesting that he may want to wear something thats not going to boil his sperm, but he won't heed my advice. Might be because he knows that once I get pg there wont be much sex on the agenda for at least a year, so he wants to get a few practice goes in

Hi Yorkshiretea how've you been? Not seen you in ages.

Well well well, just been mooching around in the conception threads, thinking its time i started taking this TTC#2 lark a bit more seriously like, and who do I find? A bunch a First Time Frolickers doing it all again. May I join in? Here are my stats:
