Anyone TTC second baby?

Hi everyone can I join this thread?

I'm 37 with a 4 year old (conceived 1st time trying) been TTC no2 for 3 years 😥
Had EMCS with no1 and had a lot of trauma & negative emotions after that. Had 3 months of acupuncture & energy healing 12 months ago which helped a lot with that but no baby.
Day 3 bloods all "normal" as well as thyroid & liver function. GP won't refer me for any further testing or consider clomid until DH has semen analysis. DH not entertaining this so here we are.

Starting reflexology this week. I have a short cycle (26 days) & ovulate late (CD19) so hoping this will help extend my luteal phase.

I think that's all the highlights.

I'm CD25, 6DPO, AF due next few days

@Mrssendy i am still breast feeding, my periods returned when dd was 10 months so i have been kind of assuming I've been ovulating again since then.

Hey everyone, I'd love to join. I'm 30 with a 3yo DS. It took about 18 months the first time round and now I'm on cycle 5. My period is quite irregular, between 32-35 days. It's day 36 today but I had a BFN on an FRER yesterday so thinking that AF will be coming any day now. I don't track ovulation but maybe I should start.

@Mrssendy - this cycle coming up will be our 3rd, so not trying for long yet. My little girl was conceived on our fifth cycle last time. But it's harder to find time (and energy) to have regular sex with a little one! 😂

Hi @emelene I'm exactly like that my period seems to be weird after birth - irregular and no PMS Symptoms. And then I came across Vitex (Agnus Cactus) and took it for 12 weeks and within 8 weeks taking it my period started being regular with typical pms symptoms especially sore boobs oh and I actually got positive OPK (29-30 days bang). I don't know if Vitex really helped but I hear it helps regulate period. Have you been TTC long? X

Forgot to mention that I still haven't got rid all of thw baby weight. And my BMI is 27 (overweight!!) so maybe I should lose some weight and maaaaybe that will help us? Who knows but I will definitely try everything 😂

Btw has anyone tried preseed? DH is a bit sceptical about it and doesn't really want to use it but I'm curious if it can help!

Hello everyone. Hope it's ok if I join in. @Lnix thank you for starting the thread and I'm with you that after 6 months I do get worried as well and Googling like crazy! But here's hoping we will all get out BFP soon!!

Anyway! Here's a little stat about me:

• My DS is now 16mo. He was a lovely surprise so TTC is very new to me! And I'm a crazy witch during TWW. Anyone with me?
• We have been TTC since March 2019. I was still BF then though and only stopped early November 2019 and since then my period starting to seem "normal" as in regular and I have sore boobs (that seems to start after Static CB Digi. So I assume I'm ovulating?) then cramps during the period.
• I'm 30 and DH 31. But even though we are young I can't stop worrying if we have problem or not?

My confusion is can I say we have TTC since March? Or I can only count TTC since I stop BF? Who knows. I'd like to book GP Appointment soon I think just to ask what options we could get - I know they won't really listen as we have DS.

Whoops sorry ended up being a long post! Happy weekend everyone and here's hoping to those lovely BFPs soon!!! Xxx

@emelene sorry to hear AF showed up. My cycles are all over the place, 26 days one month and 33 days another month!

I'm waiting for AF think I will be out by tomorrow

Sorry AF showed up @Emelene :(

Positive OPK for me yesterday and negative today plus ovulation pains, so looks like I'm in the 2ww now! Anyone testing/due AF around 7th Feb?

Hi ladies, nice to see some new faces. I'm out for this month, AF showed up 6 days late! I seem to have swinging long/short cycles - 22 days last month and 33 this month! Has anyone else had something like this? It was more like 28/32 days before my first was born...

So onwards and upwards to February... my LG is a November baby so if we conceive this month we could have 2 November babies!

6 months felt like a bit of a milestone for me and i think that's when you start to worry something is wrong and its never going to happen.
I didn't have any tests, when af showed up on cycle 11 I booked a dr appointment for the day after af was due on cycle 12, they wouldn't see me until i had been ttc for a year. Strangely once i had that appointment booked it felt like the pressure was off a bit, like i was in control. So that month we decided just to forget about it, had made up my mind that something must be wrong so no point trying until we'd seen the dr and got tests. But low and behold af didn't show up on cycle 12 (although my cycles weren't bang on regular so didn't think much about it) but did a test the morning i had dr appointment and was positive, i honestly couldn't believe it. Went to the Dr appointment anyway and she was pretty unsympathetic to be honest, said its completely normal for a healthy couple to take up to a year to get pregnant.

Hi, can i join?
So sorry for those who have had mmc :(
I'm 32, DH is 39, DD has just turned 1. Took us a year to conceive 1st time so decided to start ttc#2 once dd was 1. Really want to go for the relaxed approach this time as i was pretty mental when ttc DD and it was the month we did nothing and weren't trying that we got our BFP but af showed up this week and i've already ordered opks and got out my thermometer
@Lnix i found the 6 month mark particularly hard when ttc 1st time round. Also felt like everyone under the sun was falling pregnant at the drop of a hat.

Hi @Ejb86 I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of baby dust your way xx

Hi everyone. I'd like to join please.

Technically I'd say I'm TTC #4 after a MMC of twin daughters at 16 weeks back in September, but I'd love to have a second baby here with me now. I should have been giving birth to my twins by early section today.

This is my second cycle TTC since the mc. I have a 2yo little bed hogger currently laid between me and dp, who is very testing at the moment. Cant imagine what it would have been like dealing with his meltdowns whilst trying to deal with 2 babies!

Hope I can join?

I'm 28, DH has just turned 30.
We have a DD who is 2.5.
Just had my implant taken out on Thursday so wondering if/when I will ovulate this month, as on the implant I had quite long cycles, 39/40 day average over the last two years but different every time.
Conceived DD on second cycle after coming off the pill and tracked ovulation both of those months, so I don't really have any natural cycles to go off as I've always been on hormonal contraceptives!

@Needallthesleep that's exactly what I've been thinking. Some nights both dp and I feel too tired to dtd, how will we cope with a second child?!

I'm in my fertile window now so fingers crossed. This is my third month of trying so still early days.

I had some good news this week. I couldn't ask my mum this as she passed away but I saw an old friend of hers. She said that both my mum and her mum had late menopause, not until they were 50ish. This is good news for me as I'm 42.

@Lnix same on the house extension as well. It takes over your life doesn’t it?! And that’s the kind of thing that makes me think life is already so busy with one, should I really have a second?!

@Lnix yep totally get that. We are exactly the same. Also in the same boat as you with weekends away, I’m putting off booking girls weekends just in case I’m ovulating. It’s so ridiculous

@Lnix have you tried SMEP? I think my issue is that due to the toddler we just don’t have sex enough, so going to try SMEP this month, plus tracking my temperature to make sure I’ve ovulated
