Hi, Iā€™m 2 DPO on cycle 1 TTC baby no 2. Anyone else want to join for some company? Already driving myself slightly mad šŸ˜œ

Yeah, itā€™s a lovely age! Heā€™s hilarious and starting to be able to play a bit independently which is nice.

I was breastfeeding DS which stopped my periods and then had the mirena coil which I just got removed last month. Hopefully it hasnā€™t messed up my cycles too much!

Ahhh yeah definitely a good sign! Coming up to 2 was my favourite age so far, so cute and they develop so quickly before you even have chance to blink!

Were you on contraception before? Is that why you've not had a cycle for a long time?

Thatā€™s so sweet! My LO is too young to get it yet but he is very interested in babies so Iā€™m taking that as a good sign.

Iā€™ve been tracking BBT using natural cycles and also using OPKs. Mainly because this is my first cycle for a long time so just to get an idea whatā€™s going on!

Yeah that's true. He keeps asking for a little brother šŸ„ŗ

Ahh wow that's really good! Fingers crossed it's the same for you this time round!
We conceived 2nd cycle. My first cycle after stopping the pill last time I had a short luteal phase.
I think I had a short luteal phase last cycle too but didn't do any ovulation testing. Was just going off symptoms like EWCM and ovulation pains. Going off that, my luteal phase was 8 days šŸ™ˆ decided to do ovulation tests this cycle to see what was going on. Have you been doing ovulation tests or just going with the flow?

I think itā€™ll be really nice, heā€™ll be a bit more independent and (hopefully) keen to help you with baby!

We were really lucky and conceived first cycle. I think thatā€™s why I feel anxious this time around, I feel like we wonā€™t find it as easy this time. How about you?

I'm not too sure about the age gap. Kind of wish we tried sooner but on the plus side DS will be in school when I'm on maternity leave

Same here, probably test next Thursday.
How long did it take you to conceive your little boy?

Ah lovely, that will be such a nice gap.

Yep, I will try and hold out for 10 dpo but will probably cave at 9 dpo!

@GoldieMam yes I was so pleased to see you started a thread šŸ˜Š
I definitely was not laid back last time. I was testing from 8dpo šŸ¤£ got my BFP on 10dpo
Sworn to myself that I would chill out this time but I just can't haha I will probably test 10dpo as it's unlikely to get a BFP earlier than that and is just going to cause anxiety for no reason
My little boy turned 3 last month

@ploo at least weā€™ll have some company! When will you test? I was so laid back last time, I think I tested on the day my period was due. I wonā€™t last that long this time for sure!

How old is your LO? My little boy is turning 2 next month.

Hi I am also 2dpo
Also TTC baby no 2
3rd cycle off the pill but 2nd cycle TTC
Last cycle was an absolute waste of time and effort
Fingers crossed for this one
I hate the TWW though šŸ˜©
