Just found out I'm pg on Thursday - very excited! (especially as I though af had begun on Tuesday - turns out it was implantation bleeding. Didn't get that with dd1.

Hi, ...we have decided to TTC #2 too ...after much discussion and umming and ahhrring over last year or so.
DD is going to be 6 in May and if we leave it much longer then I cant see it happening.
Only prob is that DH is in the merchnat navy so he isnt due home till mid/end Feb...so will have to wait till then :(
OMG I am sooo impatient :o
Sorry...how rude of me... CONGRATS Princess

My DS is going to be 2yrs in April. Don't want a big age gap, and have in my head that it won't be as easy this time round!!!

Hi all.

Can I join?
This is my first cycle TTC #2. I'm now 2dpo.

DS is turns 6 in July and I don't want to leave it too long now as am hoping for a large family.

Congrats Princess

CheerfulYank · 17/01/2011 02:49

Congrats Princess!

DH and I are sort of trying. We've given up birth control and we'll see what happens! :) This will be #2, DS is three and a half and I don't want a huge gap!

Oh, we're TTC #2 too!

GizzyBoo · 23/01/2011 20:28

Hi all....

We have decided to TTC #4 Grin
Other DC's are almost 14, 12 and 8 Shock

Mirena came out yesterday so I am just waiting to see what happens regarding my cycle returning to some sort of normality as I have had one in for almost 8 years and periods stopped completely for that time.

Good luck to everyone else x

fragglerocks · 23/01/2011 23:58

TTC #1, so excited but also petrified but also as ready as i'll ever be!
Good luck everyone

Any of you hoping not to get this months period? We started trying this month so have fingers crossed we will be lucky second time around and I won't get my period next weekend!!!!
Am I totally deluded thinking it will be that easy?! Yes, I think so!!!!

OP posts:
MummyBerryJuice · 24/01/2011 09:49

I'm hoping not to. I have horrendous periods and I HATE them. Have managed to be lucky enough not to have them for 21 months (pregnant and them bf DS and only got them back after his first birthday - result). Am hoping to have as few as possible before being preggers again!

EdwardorEricCantdecide · 24/01/2011 10:07

blue22 · 24/01/2011 12:15

Hello!
Can I join too please?
My DD is 16 months and we've just agreed to start TTC DC2.
My AF is due today, though hasn't come yet - but really want it too to show that my cycles are still regular as I've been on the pill.
Good luck everybody.
Grin at Edward about being too tired. Can identify with that!
But will make big effort this month!!

Totally agree with the tiredness. DH works long hours and I spend day running around after DS!!

How about you blue ?

OP posts:
blue22 · 24/01/2011 12:57

Yes first month of trying, which was lovely, but obviously now I'm panicing that it won't be easy this time around. And trying to tell myself that if it doesn't happen straightaway then it doesn't mean something is wrong.

oh blue I am EXACTLY the same!!
I am convinced that something will go wrong or not happen this time around! We were so so lucky that everything went perfectly with DS.

Bumbleconfusus · 24/01/2011 13:34

can I join? TTC #2, DD is just about a year old in a week or so... have been trying since November (after first AF since BF) but have only had one cycle between Nov & January so its really difficult to know when a good time is, think I may be trying for a while...

blue22 · 24/01/2011 19:34

I got stuck in traffic on the way home, and the car in front of me had the last 3 letters of its number plate BFN!!! I hope it's not an omen Grin
