Wanting to try for No 2!

Hello before I had my son in January, I lived on Mumsnet but since having him (and moving country!) I haven?t managed to get on much at all. I am now waking up to trying for another baby and I wondered if there are other ladies in the same boat as me trying again. I am mid 30s and want a few more kids but I am also still breast feeding (though I started weaning my son 3 weeks ago) and I haven?t yet noticed any signs of returning fertility

Hi MrsMcJnr - I was on the ttc with you for a bit too - congratulations on your ds.

my ds was born in August 07 and we are thinking about ttc#2 very soon too. Wanted number two before ds is 2, although similar to you - will be trying to avoid thinking about it quite as much as #1, and just letting it happen.

its stupid cause would in one way rather wait till later in the year so the baby is born after the summer, but at the same time, really want another asap, so think we will leave it to fate (that is no doubt until the first proper ttc cycle, when i will no doubt find a ttc thread, and get obsessed again).

So how are you finding motherhood? i am loving almost every minute. think having another will make things a lot more hectic, but really looking forward to it too.

That would be lovely Gilly life is good thanks, it?s lovely to be back and I think DH is enjoying it too. The first few weeks were a bit hectic with finding a flat, buying a car, furniture and cats arriving etc but we are getting there now. Planning to hit the beach for the first time tomorrow! Next time you are over, maybe we could meet!

Nomoremagnolia ? hey there lovely to speak to you I guess we are not really trying for No2, just really hoping that it will happen without us having to think about trying too hard. Thanks for letting me know where to find you all (Alexander McCall Smith was a tutor of mine at Uni! here?s hoping you all start falling soon x

Hello MrsMcJnr I can't believe you're ttc#2 already - where does the time go???
Gilly and I (and Ready and Rah and some others you might know) are mainly on the "been ttc#1 since forever thread" as well as the "In the company of pregnant ladies" thread (a pun on the titles of the No1 Ladies Detective Agency books if you're wondering - we're the self-styled No1 Babies Detective Agency!)

Yes, of course I remember you hon! thank you for coming to say hello. What thread are you and the others on? I would love to come and say hello sorry to hear that you haven?t got your BFP yet I really hope the IUI works for you. One of my friends (who I met at AN classes actually) was trying for 7 years before she went for ICSI, her daughter was born on the same day as my son and is such a joy, I hope you get yours soon xx
