about to start ttc 2nd child - anyone out there want to join me ?

[claire7471]

Hi there,

Ok I'm ready to try for number 2 and feeling a bit nervous and in need of company ! anyone out there in the same boat, how about the mutual support group starts here.

my son is nearly 21 months. i conceived really easily last time but had 2 consecutive m/c before he came along so spent about a year and a half pregnant ! i'm scared 2nd time round won't be so easy and m/cs might come back but also sooooo excited. also i'm 36 and keep feeling really old and like i have to get it sorted soon ............

aaah, little one is dancing round the sofa to annie on the telly, need to go and join him. would really like to hear from anyone in the same boat,

can't bore my childless friends with all the boring details constantly,

cheers

ok, right CD71 now. I know I get long cycles but this is ridiculous. I cant remember how long they used to be cos I only came off pill beginning Aug and was PG with DS before that. My last cycle was "only" 54 days.
How the hell am I supposed to time BDing correctly!!! Bloody AF! ('scuse the pun). Deffo not PG cos I've done about 4 tests over the past week - it's driving me nuts.
Tried to book GP appointment this morning but systems down grrrr!
Anyone else have this problem?

not with GP systems down, AWOL AFs

dp v tired as working v long hours and weekends too, so i feel a bit pushy ttc now.
But i really, really want another LO...

Just re-organising the list so that cycle buddies are all together

AaAah, now I see what you were doing teuch
I did not understand at all who you meant, oops.

Blimey, fruitloop 71 days! Thats a long time!! Af last visited in,...what..September??

I know what you mean usuallytooshy, DH is mega tired at the mo too and I do feel bad, but when I grin sheepishly at him he normally relents He is just as keen for #2 as I am, so it may be tired BDing but, so far, it is still getting the deed done

Hang on.... I haven't got a cycle buddy!

yeah, it's definately gone awol this time. gonna book to see gp for next thursday....... if they've got an appointment!
yay, lots of cycle buddies for me. Although I might be on cycle 2 for ever at this rate!

Think I am going nuts with symptom spotting. Have felt really pre-menstrual for the last two days, with niggling cramps. AF not due for 10 days or so, just wondering whats going on. Any ideas?

Try not to stress about it, dancer! But fingers crossed that it's a baby in there. Cramps sound positive - ovulation pain?

Thanks for sympathies but I am fine. If I manage to get pregnant again, it will totally be a bonus as it took so long last time! But still disappointing. Funny how you always expect it to be the one that works, even when it's so often not the case... Anyway, counting the days until I can start weeing on sticks again. Oh joy...

Yeah, dancer I was thinking ovulation pains or implantaion?
Do you know when/if you ovulated yet this month?
I guess with only 10days until you expect AF then it is more likely to be implantation. They say it is mostly 14 days between ovulation and AF arriving and about 7-10 between conception and implantation?
Hope that helps

Well, I am CD15 now and been testing and temping, no signs of ov yet
So no BDing for me yet

I have been telling myself that I was not going to hold out my hopes for this month, but I haven't even started the 2ww and already I am impatient for a result!

Hurray - I've got my internet back!
It took about six months after having implanon removed to fall with DS, I'm 29
Well done twinkling fairy for getting us all organised,
Fruitloop, do you have PCOS with your long and irregular periods?
Hate TTC as seem to spend my whole life looking at calendar and wishing the weeks away so I don't have to wait to know!
Congratulations disneystar - 7 is brave, and I want a big family!
Good luck dancerandprancer, and everyone.

Yorky No I was scanned for it a few years ago and they didnt find anything, I was absolutely convinced I had PCOS cos I've got loads of symptoms. I've got an underactive thyroid but I'm on the right dose of medication so it should be functioning normally. I have no idea what's wrong, I know it'll affect my chances of conceiving anytime soon though which is a bugger

Fruitloop ask for another opinon because of the nature of PCOS is a syndrome you don't get all of the things that make it a syndrome e.g. the excess hair, carrying weight etc. I'm sure I read somewhere that it included the actual cysts. I maybe wrong but definately go and ask to see another gynacologist.

loopybear d'ya reckon? Well hopefully I'll get an appointment for next Thursday. I'll get GP to arrange another scan for me. I dont know much about PCOS apart from the symptoms. If it's treated it cant effect conceiving can it?

fruitloop PCOS can effect concieving. I'm one of the lucky ones. DD was a complete suprise I forgot to take mini pill sometimes and well everything fell into place. GP has warned me not to get my hopes up as she maybe my 1 miricle baby!!!!Don't just ask for a scan ask for a refereral to a different gynacologist. My gynacologist was convinced that I'd need IVF and had spken about referring me to a fertility expert in London! although not for this thread but PCOS effects milk production too.

well that would explain why my poor DS lost so much weight due to me producing barely a dribble of milk. now I'm convinced that's what's wrong with me.
Oh great, so if > I do have another baby and if I have got PCOS does that mean I wont be able to bf then either? I was kind of hoping I was just unlucky with BFing last time

Well there's no point worrying about it now is there. Probably wont see a gynacologist for ages

hi i have added myself onto the list as i joined on ages ago but havent posted very often!!
il reintroduce myself then... im ei iv got a DD who is 23 months i got married in august 07 and we have only just started tryin for number 2!! im gettin a bit impatient tho already i think thats it... anythin else?

hi all thanx yorky for the invite i am on day 17 or is it 18 -the days are blurring into one another it only our first month of ttc and i feel sick all with worry already! we getting married on xmas eve adn i just keep thinking about another bambino i keep thinking what a lovely wedding/christmas present and then i think i should stop winding myself up ,why do we become masochists to ourselves can anyone answer me anyway sorry for my moaning

fruitloop According to what I've now read post "failure" to BF PCOS can cause you to under or over supply but some BF normally. A friend of mine couldn't with her first and was spraying milk with her 2nd. If I manage to concieve 2nd baby I'm going to be better prepared for trying to BF and I've already got MN as a source!!!!!

Bambam it may be a comblination of wedding stress / excitement as well.

I'm feeling abit obsessive showing no signs of ovulating. Don't want to start charting because I'll become very obsessive over it all..

Hi bambam30, nice to see you, we are on our first month too, just waiting for AF so I can see if I've got a regular pattern after baby.
Wow! a Christmas eve wedding, thats lovely, but very brave - people thought we were nuts getting married on the bank holiday Monday, the day after boxing day, I'm sure it will go really well for you. If you're around CD17 now then doesn't your next fertile time fall while you're on honeymoon? now that would be romantic!

Hi i'm new here, i conceived number 2 easily its number 3 thats proving not to be so easy. Baby dust to all.

I am currently day 2 of cycle 3 of ttc, following a mc in sep. I already have ds 3yrs and dd 13 mnths. Fingers crossed this is the month. Feel like all my friends are pregnant and i'm getting more and more desperate for a bfp! Good luck to all ttc.Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

good morning to all of you it's just a quick one to say thanyou but i will be back later i gotta go and sort last minute stuff for wedding yorky i don't whether we were brave or mad when we organised it lol also i hind of thought it would be 'right' on our honeymoon who knows anyways speak to you all later and when i out i'll see if i can buy some

i said i was gonna try buy some gauranteed baby dust for us all but i must have deleted th end bit sorry

Might not be around for a few days as the packers arrive this afternoon and I don't get a fixed abode until Monday.
Either that or I'll be on loads trying to distract myself from all the stuff I haven't done yet!
I was hoping to be on around now but no signs yet so trying not to hope, must have packed the babydust with the cat basket - trying to find both quite quickly!

Hope the move goes well Yorky. DH is more obsessed with my cycle than me!!! I've told him I can't concieve to order (he wants me to get pregnant and deliver by the time he goes on tour next november!!!!) Am skiving at work and can't see page 6 even though it says there are 6 pages.
