TTC Baby #2 - Month One

40 replies

mummyliz18 · 30/12/2019 22:34

Hello

My little boy has just turned one and we have decided to start trying for baby #2

I'm still breastfeeding and had my first postpartum period mid December.

I will be testing mid January (13th)

Anyone else in a similar boat? 🙂

@Emelene yes all the time. We are so happy at the moment I worry about disrupting it. And with one I can still be me. I worry I wouldn’t with a second.

But I think I’ll regret it if I don’t give it a good go. If we don’t have a second I can see a really happy life as a three.

Needallthesleep · 10/01/2020 22:27

@mummyliz18 only my standard imaginary symptoms that I get every month. I’m 9 dpo and not expecting anything this round. Will be on it next month!

How is everyone?

Morning everyone! Can I jump in? I'm Reg, TTC #2. My DS is 3.2 and this is our first cycle trying after a long break Grin I knew I wanted a bigger age gap but now it's here I'm worrying I should have started earlier.

I have really long cycles anything up to 47 days which is frustrating. I'm 33, he's 41 and convinced he has super sperm.

Fertile week was last week, I'm on CD 31. official testing day will be Monday 27th unless AF had already arrived.

I use OPKs but I have a very up/down luteal phase so I'm never actually sure if/when I ovulate, again, awesome for baby making! Have ordered bulk OPKs, have set my Ovia to TTC and downloaded another app called premom which I'm impressed with so far, would recommend Grin.

How is everyone feeling today?

Ejb86 I am so sorry for your loss, there aren't words Flowers

I'm CD 30... I've no idea what my cycles are like because my last period was my first one post partum ... prior to a bleed 16th - 20th December my last period was February 2018 😬... I've been testing like a mad woman so slowed down and now am thinking I'll leave it a couple of days as they were all negative...

I've got a head cold and big headaches which I had last pregnancy but I think actually these are because I've returned to work and am sat in an office full off ill people staring at a screen all day...

But until my period arrives I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed!

Hi all!
Hope it’s okay for me to join.
We are TTC baby #2. I’m 24, We got married in October so this is our 3rd cycle. Our DD was 3 in December so we would be over the moon to have another one before she turned 4!
My first pregnancy was a total surprise, I was on the pill 🙈 so I have no idea how my body reacts to actively ttc.
I’m currently on CD18 and got my positive opk yesterday morning! Keeping my fingers crossed this is our month!
Sending lots of baby’s vibes to you all ❤️❤️

I'm out for this month😓
Gutted as DH is working away next FW & we've already discussed not trying during March/April as DH is a Christmas baby & hates it.

@emelene My 1yo doesn't sleep ever, the way I'm looking at it is if I'm already not sleeping, a newborn isn't going to make a difference😂

Emelene · 15/01/2020 04:27

@tabbycat985 Sorry to hear you're out. Xx

Yes that was our thinking too - already very tired so let's just crack on! Grin

mummyliz18 · 16/01/2020 18:42

Now day 32... no signs of period... 🤷🏻‍♀️ hows everyone else?

7DPO here. No clue either way at present, all symptoms could be period or pregnant. So very much wait and see, annoyingly.

Although thw worst bit is definitely going to be getting the BFN in a week and then having to wait another week to actually come on and start a new cycle.

Have you retested since CD30 Liz ?

Merrz · 17/01/2020 08:52

Hi guys, can i join? Been lurking for a few days, determined not to get over run by the madness of ttc but here i am again Blush
DD has just turned one, would be happy with a 2-3 year age gap so not desperately ttc at the moment but took us a year to conceive 1st time and i'm terrified it will take longer this time. I'm 32, DH is about to turn 40. Fx for lots of BFP's!

Ejb86 · 17/01/2020 17:41

I'm ready for Month 2. AF has hit full force. Sad

mummyliz18 · 18/01/2020 08:04

Yep... I've been doing cheap internet tests and have just done a clear blue digital as I had it here and it's a clear old Not Pregnant ... I just don't know where I am ....

I got a BFN at 14DPO this morning. Sad My AF is meant to arrive today but it has been irregular. Feeling a bit sad and just want AF to come so I can crack on to next month (and have the fruit cider I've got waiting in the fridge!)
