TTC #2

Hi all,

Having just frightened myself a tad by reading the thread about those struggling to conceive number 2, I was thinking of starting a thread for those of us just starting out on this journey. I'm really hoping we won't have trouble conceiving, but I'm a pessimist!

Does anyone want to hold my hand through this process (I'm hoping for a short time only!).

To give you a little more detail, I've got one ds who is 2.5, and we want to TTC #2 between now and December if possible. The reasons for such a short time frame are that I'm on a short contract with work, and I need to get pregnant in order to still qualify for maternity pay from them (I can do this if the due date is anywhere up to 11 weeks after finishing with them). Not very interesting really, but rather a lot of pressure. If we don't conceive within this time frame (which of course I'm feeling pessimistic about!) then we will have to wait another year. And I really don't want to do that!!!

So, come on, anyone else planning for #2 soon?

Sorry to hear your ds is trying to drop nap time, Girl (he's about the same age as mine, i think - 26 months). Luckily mine still seems very keen for a nap in the day, although with me working ft i don't often get to make the most of that!

I feel for you with the body playing tricks (i had a very convincing dream i had a bfp on a test the other night - woke up convinved it must be real) Darn!

oh no what happened to the thread? Any movers?

Have been in hibernation with getting my show off the ground but it's settled in now, period come and gone without me even thinking about it, good because I wasn't stressing but obviously bad because still not pregnant and now we're moving into the oct-jan time I really DON'T what to have a baby in...slightly tempted to sneakily go on the pill til March, is that bad?!

How are you all? Any christmas surprises?
