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

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.

Can I please join you, have been of the pill for a couple of weeks but have had no luck yet. My DD is 19 months and think it is time for dc2. I'm a bit scared since it took us 9days from getting of the pill to conceiving the last time around. Hoping that it well happen begining next year.

I wouldnt be scared yet! I think you were just extremely lucky with DD. I've been off pill since beginning Aug and you'll find a lot of people on here have been trying for a couple of years. don't panic yet!

Also the pill needs to come out of your system 1st

I'm trying to remember when exactly did i stop taking the pill and I think it is about 3 months now. AF is all over the place though so I'm not sure when i do ovulate, will just have to bd everynight for the next couple of weeks and see what happens! Hihihi, husband will stay at work if he knew what I just tiped, he has been really busy so has been knackered when he gets home at night.

good evening all of you yorky good luck with the move i don't envy you that one! well i still feel really rough but have now come out in a rash head to toe so me thiks i have a viral bug i saw doctor today and she thinks so too but if rash not gone in 2 days to go back i am however keeping fingers crossed for a bfp i did have a 'tugging' sensation in my nipples/boobs earlier is that a good sign? well i hope you all like the baby dust i bought unfortunately they gad all sold out of the guaranteed stuff lol **

Bambam am keeping fingers crossed for you.

I just posted on the ttc after christmas thread and then saw this one which might be better for me to be on. Or I could try to keep up with both but don't know if I'll manage that. Here's what I posted:

Can I join your thread? I'm not bothering to wait till after Christmas but then from the quick look at this thread I see some of you have got impatient and aren't waiting either. We've just tried trying for number 2 (ds 19 months), I wanted to start a couple of months ago but put it off for a couple of months as if it had happened straight away the timing wouldn't have been good. My brother is getting married in July and I'm a teacher and would quite like to get to the end of the school year before having to leave so we held off a bit.
Had no probs conceiving last time so keep having to tell myself that it might not happen straight away (esp as last time we were on holiday and now I'm working and its nearly Christmas). My AF is due on Christmas day I think (cycle been a bit erratic recently so could be a few days after Christmas) so hopefully if it does come I'll be too busy to think about it. Obviously won't be too sad tho as we've only just started trying.

Anyone else quite nervous about it all though? I'm more nrevous this time round. Esp at 7am when I'm struggling to get out of bed and I think about how much worse it'll be with another baby in the house.

thanx loopybear i still feel really really rubbish i just dunno if i got a bug or maybe the little pressie i would love i ache all over and have been to bed the past 2 afternoons not like me at all i think i vaguely remember i did have this before but maybe it's wishful thinking by the way you are all a bit elusive maybe i just really sad lurking here ... many times a dayanyway a week to go til af due i think so not too long to wait

ooh! I am so excited for you bambam! When are you testing, how many dpo are you?.
Will be posting this on teh sypmtoms spotters thread too!!

hi all twinklingfairy i sorry to ask but what is dpo i am on day22 today so if that is waht you mean i not up to par with all the terms yet sorry. my dp said this am maybe you are pg if you this rough [i thimk he meant it in the nicest way!] only another 9 days to our wedding day i gettin REALLY excited now my dp hugged me this morning and said it,s only nine days to the beginning of the rest of my life how romantic is that

i've been a bit quiet cos i was waiting and waiting forever, ok 10 days, to do test. Got a BFP (yey!) but AF due today. Sitting here clenching (like that's gonna help and prob TMI!). This is what happened last time, BFP and then AF arrived bang on 28 days

fingers crossed this time!

ooohhhhhhhhlibbysister got everything crossed for you and sent a prayer to my angel let us know

Sorry for being quiet. Can test on sunday so getting a bit nervous at the moment. Trying not to think about it. DH thinks I am pg but then he has been saying that for the past two months.

dancerandprancer good luck you all so brave doin pt i not gonna do one until lastlast minute before wedding

Hi all, thanks for the good wishes. DS and I are now at my parents', DH is at new house, don't know where the furniture is but I don't get there till Monday so as long as it gets there before me...! I'm spending the weekend cleaning which will not keep my mind off wondering where AF is. 2 BFNs so not hoping thats why she's late, but want to move on. How can I plan BDing when I don't know where I'm up to? I know its just moving stress and hormones but the RAF has messed up the last six months of my life and I can't even sort out this one little bit!
Whinge over.
Congratulations libbyssister, and all the best for sunday dancerandprancer

What a lovely thing for you DP to say bambam, do you really think that you will be able to wait that long?

g'day all hope ya all coping with this mad xmas rush i baan to town and wished i had'nt, people are just so rde at this time of year twinklingfairy i hope i can wait that long i keep getting slight af type pains so maybe i not pg i dunno if all goes as it sgould i due af on thurs so we'll see i kinf of just try and not think about it and just think of the other nice stuff that happing and then if i do get a bp it will be a bonus and if not it won't be so bad there always next month it will be my honeymoon when i ovulate

Welcome new ttc'ers

COngrats Libbysister

Fingers crossed bambam - I had terrible AF-like cramps when pg last time so good luck with that!!

No OV yet here...didn't OV until about CD28 or something last cycle, and only on about CD21 at the moment I think!

at long cycles when I am so IMPATIENT!!

Fruitloop - sorry if you already posted this but are you still on that mega-cycle?!

I am new to this chat but wondered if anyone was using any methods to try to concieve a girl. We are trying the gender selection choosethesexofyourbaby.com but would not reccomend it to anyone. Their promises are not fulfilled and they do not provide the informatino they say they will provide. After sales service is also non existant. Has any one else hasd this experience?

Morning all. Did test yesterday but BFN.
Still feeling nauseus and peeing all the time and not feeling particularly pre-menstrual. DH thinks maybe I have tested too early, but I dont want to be lulled into thinking that.

Hi Teuch, yes still on mega cycle , day 82 today.
Blood test results come through next week (great! xmas week) so will have to wait till following week I imagine. Should get a pelvic ultrasound in Jan, fingers crossed.

have hope dancerandprancer when are you actually due on maybe you have done a test too early..... it is so hard tho you do wonder if the symptons are in your head or if they are real it IS a nightmare i will keep my fingers crossed for you. by the way good morning everyone a week today i get married yipeeeeeeeeee i am beginning to wonder too if iam imagining all my symptoms i just don't think i am pg i dunno we'll see i due thurs

ese- someone on this thread here is using a book about how to conceive a specific gender of baby. Bottom of page 21 in the thread tells you a bit about it. I didn't even know you could do anything until I asked that poster about it.

fruitloop- oh my goodness can't believe you're having a 3 month cycle!!

oh no i jut did a test and it was a bfn
