Christmas over! Anyone else TTC #2?

[Songsandstitches]

Just that really! We had a lovely DD aged 22 months and are feeling ready to try for a second DC. It took 5 cycles to get pregnant last time (both aged 30) albeit with 3 chemical pregnancies along the way. I'm now 33 and something tells me it will take me forever this time. I'm less fit now and we have a very boisterous DD who tires us out so DTD is far less appealing than life pre DD! I'd love to hear from anyone else in the same position so we can help each other along the way... Here's to a baby filled 2016!! X

Thanks ladies. Yes, got to the bottom of it. Basically he doesn't know if he can face another thing in his life that he can't control. His lovely mum is dying and I think he feels like life is spiralling out of control and adding another element to that is maybe too much. I'm working on him on the basis that something positive to look forward to will help everyone. I am sad too but a happy focus would be great. According to clue my fertile window starts on Wednesday so my pursuasion skills need to do some fast work!! Xx

Songs I am sorry to hear that. I hope everything gets better for you both. You do need something to look forward to. Remember my cycle ranges from 28-33 but always has... So also no idea when I ovulate. I have got sticks to try and find out!

Remember- if your cycles are irregular is it worth monitoring cm or temp charting too? Xx

Hello everyone, I'm mostly a lurker on MN these days but hopefully you don't mind me posting here!

We're TTC number 2, but got my period this morning so feeling a bit rubbish on all accounts! (Rationally I didn't think we'd be as lucky as last time, particularly as we were at the in laws for Christmas right through my FW...nothing like parents in the next room to put a dampener on the baby making!).

We have DS who will be 5 in April. Ideally we would already have #2 by now but two house moves in two years, a child who thinks sleep is for wimps and my rubbish health have meant that we're pushing my self imposed limit of being pregnant by 30! (This isn't because I think older would be bad, but I might need knee replacements in 5-10yrs and face that with a 5yr old rather than a 2/3yr old!)

Anyway, I'll stop whittering now!

Can I sign up please?
DD is 13 months, it took about 6 months with her. I am 29, 30 in Feb, DH is 32.
My cycles never really settled down after coming off the pill to ttc for number 1, and after although I stopped feeding my daughter about 5 months ago, they are still all over the place, generally about 38 days long so I imagine it may take a while for number 2.

Seacrown, I am so sorry to hear about your loss last year. That must be very difficult for the whole family.

Kitkat, I am completely with you on being slightly petrified of tackling the idea of another birth and the newborn days. Having got used to sleep again, and really struggling with the first few months after a horrible birth experience last time, I am very scared. However, DD is such a joy and we desperately want another, so our theory is to have them close together before we get too used to life again!

Can any of you lovely ladies help me m? As I said in my last post I am still breastfeeding but I have started weaning and for the past few days have had tons of EWCM do you think this means I might be ovulating? I still haven't had a period since my lo was born 6 months ago so have no idea what my cycle is!

Hello

I am ttc number 2 and am on cycle 5. My DC is 7 months old but I am anticipating it taking a while for me to get pregnant and, if it doesn't, even better.

Hi ladies
I am in my tww at the moment - how is everyone doing? Xx

AF is due on Wednesday for me. No symptoms or anything yet.
