Hey girls,

Just reaching out to anyone who is on first cycle trying for baby no 2 to keep each other company on the journey. Just had my coil out a couple of weeks ago 🤞🏽🤞🏽 xx

Hello me!!
Although I am confused, had bleeding on and off after 3 days. was like day 3-5 post coil out had a bleed, then nothing then days 7-9 bleed, nothing. Have no idea what this means for my cycle!

TTCBABYNO2xx · 15/02/2022 21:40

@OtiMama btw I am exactly the same 🤦🏽‍♀️ 2 days post removal I bled for 5 days then 3 days later I bled for 2 days and now nothing. Its a bit of a riot isn't it... i'm just doing bits in the hope maybe Im ovulating who knows 😊 xx

@TTCBABYNO2xx yeah I am just confused as I had a period as normal 2 weeks before it was taken out. So would have been ovulating around the time I was bleeding from the coil removal but does that mean I won't get my normal period, due around now I guess or will I be most fertile now instead!

I guess only time will tell 😆 I usually find it fairly obvious for discharge when I am fertile. I was very lucky first time round so we shall see. I don't feel as positive this time, which is a bad attitude to have I know!

TTCBABYNO2xx · 16/02/2022 07:42

@OtiMama i hear ya i feel the exact same i don't have a clue. I always know when i am ovulating too usually! I have a 19 month old too.. what age is yours? 🥰

OtiMama · 16/02/2022 20:47

Hello! Please can I join you both? Also trying for baby number 2 (well technically baby number 3 as DS2 died in NICU in December 2020 😔). First month TTC this month as was advised to wait a year and needed to feel strong again after that trauma. No advice on cycles returning after the coil but hopefully yours both regulate soon. I think I ovulated at the beginning of the week (not tracking this cycle as 'trying' to just be chilled about it all). We conceived DS1 and DS2 in second and first cycles so really hoping that we're fortunate again but time will tell.

TTCBABYNO2xx · 16/02/2022 21:22

@Running365 hey lovely- of course you can. I can't even imagine what this was/is like for you. I'm so sorry to read this sending the biggest hug and lots of strength ❤️❤️

Hey 👋🏻 I’m starting ttc my second next cycle. CD17 currently, so will hopefully my first testing date will be 26th March Smile good luck all!

Running365 · 16/02/2022 21:42

Aww thank you. It's certainly not been an easy time and our littlest boy is missed from our family every single day but finally beginning to feel a little bit hopeful about the future and what might be to come. Our DS1 is nearly 3 and a half so brings us lots of happiness and keeps us busy!

Hopefully we'll all have a second one to run around after soon!

@Cheekypeach how old is your first?

TTCBABYNO2xx · 17/02/2022 19:59

@Cheekypeach ahhh how exciting! Have you another child too? Xx

TTCBABYNO2xx · 17/02/2022 20:03

Yes I have a 2 year old girl Smile will be 3 before too long! It’s taken a while to decide whether to try for another but now we’ve made our minds up I feel so impatient! How old is your little one?

MiaKay · 17/02/2022 20:14

Hello ladies!

I'm 7 months postpartum and my doctor said we could start trying at 6 months postpartum. Well... We were not exactly trying so far, but didn't make an effort to prevent it either. Anyway, this is the first time I feel a little strange.

I feel just like i felt back when my first pregnancy started, if not a little more nauseous. My mom says that it could be just hormones changing or simply stress, but my husband keeps saying "baby No2? Baby no2?" And he's so cute, I really hope he gets his wish!

To be honest I kind of agree with my mom, though, but I will test on Monday (or during the weekend, if I get too curious Grin)

TTCBABYNO2xx · 17/02/2022 20:19

@Cheekypeach ahh totally aww its lovely yous have decided to just go for it! My son is coming up 19 months.. xx

TTCBABYNO2xx · 17/02/2022 20:21

@MiaKay ahh amazing boy or girl you have?? Ahh i so hope its really is baby no 2 😉❤️

OP posts:
MiaKay · 17/02/2022 20:54

A boy! It's weird because I was so scared of having a boy and now I'm wondering why! Boys are so cool! ...I really hope for a baby girl next time, though, I'd love to have one of each lol!

(By the way, how can I reply to one specific person? I'm new here 😊 )

OtiMama · 17/02/2022 21:00

Hi everyone welcome to the group.

@Running365 sorry to hear about your son, what was his name? It must have been so hard for you both, I hope you conceive quickly again.

We also conceived my son first time, literally days after I came off the pill.

@MiaKay if you use the @ symbol and then the name immediately after to tag people. Wow 7 months postpartum, back then I was thinking omg I will never have another child anytime soon haha funny how things change. I love having a boy, would be happy to have another boy. Obviously would be equally happy for a girl next but I don't have a preference if asked.

TTCBABYNO2xx · 17/02/2022 21:01

@MiaKay ahh i can't imagine having a girl now after a boy i'd love to have another boy but of course would just be blessed with either or 🥰

Btw i also wondered the same thing maybe someone can shed some light i keep forgetting the convo so would be ideal to reply and see it at the same time 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

MiaKay · 17/02/2022 21:51

@OtiMama thank you! I got it now! Lol! I know it's pretty soon. Actually I have 8 years difference with my brother and I always felt like I was an only child, and he felt the same. Now we have completely different lives and whenever we meet it's like we're strangers, so I would love my children to be close together.

@TTCBABYNO2xx boys are great! They are so much fun! ... and here I thought they were all about guns and football. Now it seems so funny that I was ever scared of having one, but I blame my crazy nephews and their mothers who never lifted a finger to save me when their sons tortured me. Lol!

OtiMama · 17/02/2022 22:18

@MiaKay I totally get that. I think you just get on with it having them close together and at least they can all do similar things!

MiaKay · 17/02/2022 22:21

@OtiMama exactly and, anyway, let it happen whenever it happens ☺️ let's see what comes out of this cycle.

TTCBABYNO2xx · 18/02/2022 08:08

@MiaKay 🤣🤣 totally !! I am an only child and always would of loved a sibling plus my family is tiny so would love to have maybe 3 kids ... they say though when the second one arrives you soon change your mind on number 3 we shall see 🤣 xx

Running365 · 18/02/2022 08:49

Getting so impatient too, have to wait until atleast next weekend to test I think. I hate this waiting and had forgotten how consuming it can be. Keep also feeling like I'm cramping too but probably just my imagination. Good luck with testing this weekend @MiaKay if you do!

Thanks @OtiMama, we called him Gabriel Ray. He's out little Ray of sunshine 🌞

I also love having a boy. It'll be more than 4 year age gap for us now but will just feel so blessed if it happens and all works out ok this time, and there's nothing we can do to change it now.
