Ava - my DH would have a mega breakdown if we had twins. He's only just getting his head around the idea of having another baby! He's an only child and just struggles with it all even though he is a brilliant dad.

OK, I will set up our stats page sometime this week...promise Smile

I should be asleep but I'm struggling to understand why I invited lots of different pregnant friends over for coffee play dates this week? I am mad Blush or maybe just trying to get it over with before mission EOD take 4 begins Blush

Hi Mary & Ruth. Omg 9 x more likely to conceive twins??!! Eek!

Ruth, sounds like we're quite similar in terms of age of baby & feeding. I'm sure my AF only came back because she was poorly for a few days & fed much less than usual.

Pear, that would be fab to do a stats page, thanks. My stats are:

Ttc#2 age 32 cycle 1 bfp due 23 March (but really could be any time as I've only just had my first af so not sure how regular they'll be iyswim)

(Points finger at Pear) it could be you Wink

Thanks for that info, Ruth, I didn't know about Eagle x

Am I the only one who thinks twins would could be great? (Is everyone else in a cold sweat like Pear and iSpy right now? Grin

Thanks Pear AKA Clever Person.

My stats are ttc #2 and I am on cycle #6 of properly trying ie since AF returned at 16 mos and ttc stopped being just a stab in the dark (ooh er) as it were... Is that all you need?

ispyfispi · 01/03/2015 22:02

Holy crud that's a scary statistic! My sister has twins, I just couldn't do it!
Welcome Mum Smile I guess return of AF is a silver lining to your poor dd's throat infection. Hope she's better?
My lo has come down with a sickness bug this evening, needless to say he's been bf alot (dc3 16mo no AF) Reminds me how glad I am to still be bf though....

Oh and I'm happy to start a stats thingy. It's quite helpful to have one floating around because I always forget what's what and who is who. Do we want it floating on this page or a separate page?

Hah hah! My nose is scrunched up and I'm pulling a omg face Shock Its OK though because I think it only applies if you haven't seen AF and I'm probably much further down the line. I don't like what the article says about bf effecting implantation Hmm think that's me Hmm

AvaAmulet · 01/03/2015 21:38

Really?! Wow... The thought would have terrified me previously, but last year we moved closer to my family so I know we'd have a lot of much needed help Wink and my 'plan' would be back on track if I got a 2 for 1 ... Smile perhaps all this ttc while breast feeding is making me crazy?! Confused x

Aaaaargghhhh twins!

I've read that when breastfeeding you're 9x (!!) more likely to conceive twins. Apparently.

AvaAmulet · 01/03/2015 20:41

Good idea, Mary! Unfortunately I am not clever Blush
