Second Time Shaggers, You know who you are......

[MrsWajs]

For graduates of the First Time Frolickers and anyone else who wants to join in TTC baby number 2!!

Halo Me too, I don't think I can be faffed with it for too long. Although I don't feel the need to go mad this time. I do feel quite relaxed about it all actually.

How are you feeling? How much are you still feeding? I'm trying to stop with DS, I'm doing don't offer, don't refuse. I'm giving it a few weeks and see how he goes. I'm not enjoying it anymore and I'm fed up of getting kicked in the face by flailing limbs.

I keep wondering whether to dig out my thermometer to see if it gives me any clues to what my body's up to but I usually end up lying awake for about an hour desperately trying to get DD (and myself) back to sleep before I admit defeat around 6-6.30am so don't know if it would be too accurate.

Bunny 835 day cycle :o

On a good day 4 times, evening, 2 night feeds and morning. On a bad she wants feeding late afternoon and a lot more at night but then I skip the morning one. We did drop the evening one with some success but then the hot weather and our holiday messed that up. We haven't really fed in the day for 5 months now baring one D&V bug. I'm glad about that as I was shy feeding out and about when she was tiny!

It's tieing (sp?) and tiring but I can't see an easy way out. Most feeds are snuggley tired in bed (except evening) so no acrobatics or anything. Good luck, let me know how you get on.

I don't feel relaxed but then I not a relaxed person. Plus id have happily been pregnant 6 months ago!

Maybe stock up on cheap opks hh? Its rubbish having cycles (im still not in habit of packing the essentials!) but at the same time I feel so frustrated for you. Fingers crossed they come back soon and you catch an early egg. x

Hello hello, also on another thread but keen to join in with anyone TTC number 2. Is that ok?

I'm on cycle 3, CD32 with irregular cycles - think this one will be 38ish but i got 7 days worth of positive OPK's so who knows!

Bazzle Hello, course its fine for you to join us - just be warned we all posted on a thread a couple of years ago when trying for DC1 and kept in contact through pregnancy and the first year/year and a half so we all know each other.

Tell us more about yourself? How old is DC1? And 7 days of positive opks!? How confusing. I usually get a couple of days postive and then the second line fades off and I stop testing until its time to use a HPT

I am drinking my usual morning coffee whilst DD throws in a bonus morning nap. Just when I think we are in a routine...

The coffee tastes normal

Hi Haloflo thanks for the welcome. How nice that you kept the thread going :)

My DS is nearly 22 months old now, i probably would have started TTC earlier but we got married in December and then had a run of wedding/hen do's that i wanted to have fun at!

Got pregnant first time round straight away so was kind of hoping that would happen this month but i think i am on my way out and onto cycle 4 now. Am not very patient!!

How old is your DC and how long have you been trying this time round? x

Hi Bazzle and welcome to the thread! I have a nearly-15-month old DS and am in the middle of baby-making time. Congratulations on your wedding!

I'm struggling (TMI alert) with the distinction between CM and, er, left-overs from the previous night's shenanigans... Ew! What does everyone else do in this sticky situation?!

Welcome bazzle! I should not strictly be here as not yet TTC - I have a one year old DD and hope to start trying again in a few months' time.

No idea kurly, used to baffle me too! Also, how is your DS sleeping now btw? We are still having ridiculous night sleep - DD is clearly exhausted by 7 ish and then suddenly gets a second wind after bath + milk and won't sleep for ages. Two nights ago it was 10 - then last night it was 8 and I was v pleased, but followed by 10-12 awake time. I wouldn't mind if she was happy to be alone but I have to be there with her or she screams... . Any tips welcome.

Hi Cheery and Kurly :)

In at the deep end! For 'me' i think EWCM is stretchy/elastic and clear where as leftovers are cloudy and more gloopy?! Also has more of a distinct smell i think (sorry TMI but you asked!)

Hope this is your month!

kurly I seem to remember reading something somewhere about dropping in water, one floats the other doesn't? Haven't got a clue where I read it though, maybe I made it up!

Welcome bazzle, I'm still waiting for my cycles to return but still bf about every 3-4 hours day and night so could be waiting a while, hoping to get lucky with an early egg!

Yorkshire! Fab to see you!! I'm not really here.. But am nosily watching the thread with envy interest!!

Welcome Bazzle! Being a Frolicker is fab, hope BFPs start popping up soon!

[WH goes back to non-TTCing land to try and convince DS that he doesn't need to wear his hat in the bath..]

Kurly That comment made me laugh! I was wondering the very same thing just last week!! Not that I need to be right now but even so! I never did have a lot of CM at all but now I seem to be inundated with the stuff!?

Welcome Bazzle there is no such thing as TMI in here!! I have a 13mo DD and will be starting TTC after Christmas for number 2.

Cherry - yuck to the sleep! R got up at 5am this morning and I think my body's in shock!! Maybe I shouldn't have another after all, don't think I could cope with all the night wakings again!!

Bazzle I have a 14mo DD, we haven't used contraception since she was born but cycles only returned at 10mo as i'm breastfeeding. Technically this is cycle 3 but really its the first time we have a chance I think so i'm calling it cycle 1.

No sign of ERTD but i'm only about 9/10 dpo. Last month my LP was 10/11 days (i can't be exact with ovulation as a positive OPK gives you 12-36 hours notice)

No symptoms either, apart from still being a bit ill with this rotten cold and cough.

Halo Ooooo good luck!

I'm waiting on a positive OPK as well, but I can tell my body is up to something as my ovaries frikkin hurt!!! I keep getting pains right deep down in my hips. I can only figure that everything is kick starting itself again after the implant.

I got a smiley face on my OPK this morning (CD21) but no ovulation pain as yet so I'll be interested to see what happens over the next couple of days. Think I'll keep doing the sticks as I've not done them through a cycle before... So we might be 2ww buddies, tribble!

Any symptoms, flo...?!

How's everyone else? Was in town yesterday doing some toy shopping (!) and EVERYONE seemed to be pregnant!

Still no AF.

Symptoms, um maybe, but we all have symptoms if we think too much.

Too scared to test, at least til I'm late.

Oooh halo...!

Oh Flo, my fingers are firmly crossed for you! I always found a BFN much less upsetting than waiting for ERTD - if I was even a day late I had worked myself up into such a frenzy of excitement that it was heartbreaking. But I know a lot of people think the exact opposite and can't bear to see that "Not pregnant" come up. When will you test, do you think?

Tbh i don't know. A bfn would be awful but my biggest fear is a bfp then af arriving anyway. Tests are bought, will let you all know as soon as. X

Kurly I had my smiley face about two days ago and my ovaries have been hurting like there's no tomorrow. I think I have ovulated. As to of anything has been brought about as part my my regime of jumping Dh. Well, we shall see.

Fingers crossed halo, and great news about the smiley faces tribble and kurly :)

Dropping in briefly to quietly squeeee for Flo..

I'm crossing my fingers for you halo

So far the bunny household has seen precisely no ttc action as dh has a cold and ds has taken to waking twice a night so I'm knackered......maybe he knows we're planning on replacing him as littlest most spoilt member of the household!

Poor you, bunny! We've been trying to power through the tiredness but it isn't always easy...

flo and bazzle, anything your end?

So I told you about my smiley face, but yesterday and today it's been back to negative again... No proper ov pain yet and lots of ewcm this morning so I was wondering if it was a false positive? On the sticks you can look at the two lines afterwards and they were definitely both there that day, but this morning's in particular was much fainter. Odd.

Hope your ovaries have sorted themselves out, tribble. It's amazing how much it can hurt, isn't it?
