TTC Baby #2 - Month One

I’ll be testing around 19th. Currently just about to come into the fertile window, annoyingly have a friend staying tonight, but going to DTD Saturday and Sunday.

At the moment I’m worrying about age gaps. My DD is two next week, I always wanted a second before now but I’ve changed jobs so needed to hold off on having the second until now. Does anyone else worry about that?

Haven’t tried conceive plus. I’m using three different types of OPK though to try and get an accurate view of when I’m fertile! Probably a little insane, but we don’t have sex enough for leaving it to chance.

@Ejb86 - so sorry to hear of your loss.

I'm still in my fertile window but we're trying our best to enjoy it and not make it too pressured etc! Easier said than done but it feels good to have some private time after being constantly surrounded by relatives or having guests over the last few weeks.

Is anyone using any fertility lubricant? I'm using conceive plus which worked last time...

I posted further up this thread but I've changed my username as I was worried about being identifiable! I'm TTC #2, still BF my almost 2 year old, on cycle 2 now as I just got AF a few days ago.
I won't be testing until around the 24th as I'm only on CD3! So I have a long wait. I've ordered some OPKs which I'm hoping will help me to pinpoint ovulation.

I'm so glad I found this thread!
My LO is about to turn 16 months, still breast feeding & only had my first postpartum period in December.
We've been trying since September but since I didn't have a period I wasn't holding out much hope. LO was conceived first try last time round so fingers crossed 😅

@Needallthesleep Ah I’m not the only one! But I do think there is a lot of misleading info there, chances are probably lower but you hear lots of success stories of people in their late 30s and early 40s having no issues so going to try to stay positive!

I’ll be testing around the 18th.

@Plaw I’m another one who has just turned 35 so feel your pain on that front! Fingers crossed

Hi everyone. This is our first month of trying again. We have a just gone 2 year old and sadly miscarried twin girls at 16 weeks back in September. I guess technically I'm ttc #4 but I only have one little man to snuggle.

According to Ovia I'm in my fertile period, going to do an ovulation test today to see where that says I'm at. Would be due to test around 20th based on my last cycle.

Sending love and hope we're all successful soon. X

Hi,

We are trying for number 2.

Our little boy is 20 months old. Technically this is our 3 rd month trying but the first month we hadn’t a clue when I ovulated. Last month I thought we got the timing exactly right but it wasn’t successful.

We got pregnant within 5 months the last time. Super paranoid too as I just turned 35 and I know it might be a little harder.

Positive vibes to you all and hope we have some success stories here!

I’m also trying for #2. Our first is 23 months, we’ve been trying for a couple of months already and of course I’m super paranoid already about secondary infertility and worrying, even though I’m well aware that 2 months is barely anything.

Had my first positive OPK today and testing on 19th. Hoping to DTD today, tomorrow, Sat and Sunday.

Hello! 👋
We are TTC #2 also.
My LG is 21 months and I am also still breastfeeding her.
I can relate to your nervousness - so much more I know this time round but also so clueless and every baby is different! It's a minefield.

@mummyliz18 - sorry to hear your first pregnancy was tough. I was really lucky to have a smooth pregnancy and birth last time. We conceived our first within 5 months.

I am! My little girl is 13 months, still breastfeeding. It's cycle 2 of us TTC but last month's cycle was so unexpectedly short that we didn't really have a shot! My test/AF would be due mid Jan.

How are you feeling about TTC? I think I'm more nervous than the first time round as I found the newborn months pretty intense! But excited too.
