Trying for number 2?

41 replies

Starting to actively try for number 2 after this cycle ends, anybody else starting to try for a second? Came off the pill in December & in the last week decided to go for it, but I’m nearing the end of the cycle so will be out this month for sure.

It took us almost a year to fall on with our first DD who is now 21 months so not expecting it to happen quickly but 🤞

I met a lovely couple of ladies while trying for my first on here who I am still friends with and speak to now 🥰 so would be lovely to have someone to go on the journey with again!

@JJHN22 have you tested yet? I don’t think I could have held out this long 😂 I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!!

Im just waiting for AF now then we can start properly, but my cycles aren’t always regular so could be while yet if we’re having a long month!

Hey all 👋

@JJHN22 I also have PCOS and I’m pretty sure I have endo too. Took almost a year with first so expecting a long slog again for number 2

PCOS is hard isn’t it?! Sorry that you think you might have endo too. Wishing you all the luck this time round! You never know 🤍

I’m on around 12dpo currently and my bbt chart looks so positive. Really trying not to get my hopes up!

@JJHN22 sending you soooooo much love and good vibes! 🤍🤍
We've been trying on and off for a few years but I've only just realised that my thyroid levels are what might be coming in the way.
I'm still so excited though, just hope it doesn't take over my life ttc like it has done in the past! x

Thank you @beezoh ! Wishing you all the best too 🤍 I’m glad you’re excited – keep up that positivity.
I have PCOS but only took 10 months to become pregnant with my daughter. It’s been extremely difficult emotionally this time round but we’re determined.

GoldieMam · 14/05/2024 21:15

Yes, I am too! My little one is 22 months so very similar. I had my mirena coil removed a few weeks ago and had a very short period so not sure what’s going on! I’m attempting BBT tracking but I keep forgetting 🙈

ScaryGabbyGabby · 14/05/2024 21:15

Thanks @bbeezoh wishing you luck too & everyone else on the thread!

I feel a lot more nervous this time than when we were trying for DD, probably a mixture of being older & already having had a hard going labour! x

@Peanutbutterjelly123 I'm on 7/8dpo but started spotting today, AF due any day so pretty sure I'm out this month sadly. I'm 20ish lbs heavier than I was when I conceived my first so slightly worried my weight will be an issue this time around.

beezoh · 14/05/2024 19:58

@ScaryGabbyGabby my DS is 12yo.
I thought I had given up a few years ago, but here I am again - first cycle trying. Currently CD5.
Wishing you lots of pregnancy luck! x

We are just about to start trying for number 2 too.
Stopped my pill a couple of days ago and just waiting for my period too.

DD is 5, always thought we were done but decided at Christmas we would like another.

Blue2020 · 14/05/2024 19:45

I should have added, if we can conceive. Obviously no one knows how long or even if it will happen.

Blue2020 · 14/05/2024 19:40

Trying for number 2 too, well from the next cycle. I have just stopped the mini pill a few days ago so I’m waiting for the first period, however long that will take. My DS is 13 months old, we were going to wait until September but it took 8 months and a mmc the first time so thought what is the harm in starting now anyway. I had a csection and preeclampsia with my first, so I’m slightly anxious but hopefully it will go well this time.

JJHN22 · 14/05/2024 19:37

Hi 👋🏻 Wishing luck to you all!

We’ve been trying for a 2nd for 3 years. We had a MC last May 💔 Our daughter is 4.

My BBT chart looks very hopeful this cycle but it’s hard not to get my hopes up!

Hey both!!

@beezoh i also had mmc, we weren’t trying & didn’t know until that happened. It kicked us into gear a bit and made us realise we were ready for number 2. Sorry to hear about your losses 🖤 I hope your luckier this time around 🤞

@koalabearboombox oooo exciting, how far into the tww are you? 🤞 it’s a lucky month for you!

Hey! Trying for #2 as well - I'm in the TWW on my first cycle. My first kiddo is 3 💙 How are you feeling about trying again after the first time?

beezoh · 14/05/2024 18:02

Hi.
Trying for our second too. And this is our first month ttc
Previous multiple mc and other things going on in the background like thyroid issues.
I tried a few years back and nothing after 9 months so accepted it wouldn't happen.

Now I'm mentally strong enough to try again.

My son is 12 years old so I'm worried that people will talk about the age gap but ahh well.

Hello and good luck with your journey!
