about to start ttc 2nd child - anyone out there want to join me ?

woose how are things going for you?

hey guys please can i join you. Ive not long had my 1st baby and havent yet had AF but want to start trying ASAP as took 4 years to concieve DD.

Thanks BB, yeah I'm stunned to be honest. I had geared myself up for the long haul and possible interventions as of course I'm older than last time.

Hope to see you soon on the AN threads too

Hi, just a quickie to say, I got a BFP this month. I'm v excited and shocked, I can't really believe it

I'll be checking the thread for all your news. Hoping for many more +ves. Good Luck.

Welcome belgianbun. I agree it is terrifying but if we all waited till we were ready for another we'd never do it!
Happy BD-ing!

Hi hope everyone had a good christmas and new year. Have you settled in Yorky? I'm now on cycle 2 now if we're keeping the log of where we all are. Saw my lovely GP when DD was poorly who asked how TTC was going, she told me to make sure DH was getting plenty of Magnesium in his diet as well and go and see her in March if cycle hasn't settle down or not PG.

I never found working with food all the time helped me loose weight, well done ready. I just have to be really strict about what munchies I buy as we eat quite well but if theres junk in the house, I'll eat it. The diet starts when I've finished the Christmas presents, should I worry about how people see us if most of our presents came in bottles and colourful tins!
Of course we obsess about ttc, reading your posts I realise how lucky I am not to be hiding from DH, but then I haven't had a period since Nov so thats frustrating. Planning to introduce bedtime formula when next tooth finally comes through so that should help my hormones.
Hope bambam is having a lovely honeymoon

No wonder all waitresses seem to be skinny malinkys!
I serve food all day but to kids so I pick on all the their leftovers very hard to resist fish fingers smothered in ketchup .
Same here with DS who was also unplanned. DP also thinks it will be very easy. What he seems to forget is I was very lazy with the pill for about three years prior to falling pg (actually rarely took it so if trying it would prob have taking about three years anyway). Bloody men eh!
Thank heavens for MN! it's like a godsend

Fruitloop I found it quite easy because I was working most of the time lol I started as a waitress in december so all the running around has helped plus when im serving food all day I dont get hungry [wink)
I am not dieting as such just watching the junk intake and getting more exercise -walking mainly

Enjoy your shopping
I know what you mean about men being flippant about it DP has told me im obsessed already but with him being away 4 days a week it is really going to put a dent in the BD routine, because DS was unplanned he thinks it will be easy but ive got a feeling it will take awhile

woopsie, no need for the asterix in cr*p then!

LOL woose! Its really difficult to be discreet with a family isn't it! How are these men so flippant about TTC. We shouldn't have to hide away but we do . Trouble is they dont realise that it's actually quite difficult to catch ours eggs at the right time. I know my DP just wants it to be surprise so I'm gonna have to keep it from him - sad really cos it would be nice to share fears and concerns with him.
ready well done for the weight loss, how the hell did you cope with that over xmas? I've put on 10lbs since sept! Was doing really well yesterday until I discovered a box of chocs and scoffed them last night . Oh well, off shopping today so hopefully too busy to eat cr*ap - Just a few cappuccino's (skinny of course!)

well its cd6 for me and cant wait for the bding to begin!
DP works away for 4 days a week but looking at my dates he will be here from cd12 till morning of cd15 so hopefully we will catch my egg

I have lost a stone in the last month in preparation for ttc but need to lose some more, I lost 3 1/2 stone just before I got pg with DS (unplanned) so I need to lose another 2 stone to get to that weight (never lost it after DS) So Im going to try not to obsess about ttc until then but im sure I will anyway

Hope everyone else is ok and that we get some january BFPS x

Thats quite funny Woose, in a very sympathetic way obviously! Went to the dr about something else a couple of days ago and mentioned ttc and her comment was to BD every other day throughout the month and not worry too much about temps and dates. DH very supportive of this approach!

OMG nightmare yesterday trying to use the ovulation sticks in private. I decided to have a shower and test then. Just produced sample in bowl, so I could dip the stick in and DS races in with DH close behind (DH had unlocked the bathroom door from the outside!!!). DS is shouting 'teeth' 'teeth' as according to DH cleaning his teeth just can't wait until I have finished my shower! I panic and quickly shove the bowl into the shower and close the door. I think the sample got diluted a bit, but managed to hide everything ok I think. Needless to say the test was negative, but that was only CD 12. Will keep going for a few more days to see what happens, DH back at work now so not a problem with privacy anymore. I hate having to hide things, I wish I could just be open and say I really want to maximise the chances each month for us, but he thinks that it is meddling and that what is meant to be will be.

thanks got another bfn this am. got pains this am that feelslike af is on the way.

woose I have to say it was a bit useless for me but I'm not sure I ovulate regularly anyway. It's worth a go though eh?

Bambam, i know exactly what you mean about how can you not worry when Lo is ill, finally baby seems to be having less scary nappies, after a fortnight, but he's seeming much happier in himself and eating happily. Going to see if I can get an appt at new Drs and find out about HVs to see if his weight is Ok, as he wasn't gaining much before we moved and he got ill. I also think he's cutting more teeth which probably isn't helping.
Have a wonderful honeymoon
I'm not worried so much yet about having enough love to go round, as you say twinklingfairy my mum loved 3 of us....
The laundry and sleep deprivation I'm just not thinking about!
Still have only had one real AF since baby so planning to drop to one b/f daily over next couple of weeks
Colabottle, I've never heard of anyone leaking so early but I have no idea what my own body is doing so if its what you want - Good Luck!

can any of you tell me if im just being daft. my dd is 8 months old and i fed her with ebm for 4 weeks afte she was born due to me being pooly. my boobs have now stated leaking again, do you think it could be a sign im pregnant??? i have terible leg camps aswell.im on cd 24 of 28 day cycl and got bfn ealier today. i dont ov till cd18. im confuuuussssed!!!!!

Hi all Happy New Year!!!!
Big congratulations on the BFPS
Well im on CD2 of cycle 1 of ttc and cant wait to start BDing lol

Lets hope that this year is full of lovely BFPS for us all

twinklingfairy and woose thanx for feeling the same if you know what i mean woose i also am like you i just cannot imagine a girl lol you never know with any look we may be on an antenatal thread together wondering whether we have boys or girls[ fingers crossed wistfully] well my little man still not right been back to gp's and feel a little bit better saw a different one and gave loads of advice re sickness and runs and says we still fine to go on our honeymoon and not to worry [scratches head in confusion- how can youNOT worry] anyways i hope we all have a great new year and that it bodes better than my sorry half eaten ready meal left in haste to visit gp again

Cheers fruitloop. It looks really good. Have not heard of that before. Was it obvious which days were fertile days, or was it difficult to decipher?

Can't believe GP not open today btw!

Hope you find those sticks too!!

yeh, I would start tommorrow, but I have gone and lost them!
Actually woudl have started yesterday but couldn't find themthen either!
What on earth have I done with them??

No bambam you're no alone, I have had those worries too, but know i have heaps of love to give and my mum is my inspiration, If she can have 4 and love us all the same, I can love 2.
As for the work load? Well thats another worry altogether and I am ignoring it successfully

there you go it was the 4th one down
