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

Welcome @ablisha 😍

I feel exactly the same with the age gap but my little girl will be 4 in July! It’s only been recently Iv felt ready for another baby but super nervous of going back to the sleepless nights and looking like a zombie 🤣🙈 xx

Hi @GetInLoserWereGoingShopping and @ablisha

My son is also 16 months, we were the same, know we want another but have no idea when is a good time. I've decided there is no such thing and pros and cons to all ages. I'm more relaxed this time round although with my son I was so lucky to get pregnant immediately off the pill but as I've said before you just never know when you will get pregnant until you try and just because I was so fortunate first time doesn't mean I will be again. I'm more annoyed I don't know where my body is in the cycle than that it's still negative testing.

@GetInLoserWereGoingShopping My DD is 4 in August so in the same boat age gap wise 😄

GetInLoserWereGoingShopping · 05/03/2022 10:46

@sherbetmelon ahhhh love this 😍 I figured it would be easier now she’s almost starting school 🙈🤣 xx

TTCBABYNO2xx · 06/03/2022 20:29

How are you all 🥰

@TTCBABYNO2xx all good here. With my first pregnancy I had a heavy implantation bleed 8 dpo. No sign of that this month so I'm taking that as probably being out this month.
How are you?

OtiMama · 06/03/2022 21:09

@TTCBABYNO2xx same old here...negative test yesterday but still no period. Cramps less but still the odd one. No idea 😂

sherbetmelon · 06/03/2022 22:08

@ablisha really? I had a bit of spotting yesterday then again today. Feeling so down that it's my period but it's bang on when implantation would be and not when my usual period would arrive.

Sounds like it could be implantation!
When I had it, I actually put a tampon in as it seemed like a period but only lasted about one day, if that.

sherbetmelon · 06/03/2022 22:27

I'm hoping soooo hard that it is. I keep getting short sharp pains exactly where I imagine my right ovary would be, the pains and aches are not like my usual period. Its also the wrong time in my cycle and I've had other symptoms like sore boobs and extreeeeme tiredness. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

sherbetmelon · 06/03/2022 22:28

@GetInLoserWereGoingShopping yes! I always wanted this age gap, thought it'd be lovely for the baby to have my attention in the day (and easier for me with only 1!) and means im not working for DD first year at school so I can be there to drop off and pick up.

ablisha · 06/03/2022 22:35

@sherbetmelon I didn't get any usual symptoms last time other than that. The only other things I notice was my Fitbit said my HR was high and my hair fell out massively but both of those stayed the whole of the 1st trimester

LifesTooShortYOLO · 06/03/2022 22:44

Hi girls! Can I join please?
We've only recently decided to jump off the fence and 'see what happens' with ttc baby number 2 😬😊
We have a son who will be 5 in May xx

PinkButtercups · 06/03/2022 22:44

Hey 👋🏼.

TTC number 2. First cycle negative but AF has now gone so going onto the next one!

OtiMama · 07/03/2022 20:15

Hi @LifesTooShortYOLO and @PinkButtercups welcome to the group! Fingers crossed for you both.

Still no AF for me but I just don't see the point in testing again. Must have used so many already!

TTCBABYNO2xx · 09/03/2022 19:32

Hey lovely's

I am yet to get my period this is annoying as F i got it out on the 1st of feb 🤦🏽‍♀️

@OtiMama are you still the same?

Any luck ladies for your BFP?? ❤️❤️

sherbetmelon · 09/03/2022 19:45

That sucks :( my cycles are taking a while to return to normal too. Had a normal period in Jan then spotting at the weekend then Monday AF was here with a vengeance. Absolutely awful period and a cycle of 37 days!

TTCBABYNO2xx · 09/03/2022 19:51

@sherbetmelon oh shit that sounds rough! I just want a period so i can track its brutal the waiting about wondering wtf is going on! Xx

Hey,

Can I join, TTC No.2 this is our first cycle too, our DD is 6 months now 💗

OtiMama · 09/03/2022 20:38

hey @Bubblegum20 - welcome!

Yes @TTCBABYNO2xx I am also still waiting for a period. My last actual one was mid January and then early Feb post-coil out bleed. I am just confused, I mean does it definitely mean if not pregnant that you can't get pregnant until you have one?! I had them regularly when the coil was in.

CCPink15 · 09/03/2022 21:20

Hi ladies I'm trying for baby number 2 I got my coil out on Monday so very new to this I'm 35 now so bit worried about my age etc hope we can all help each other xx

CCPink15 · 10/03/2022 11:42

Hey ladies I had my mirena coil removed Monday night I had a little bleeding that night into the following morning, I've started what looks like a period I've had cramp since yesterday is this normal back story I've had the coil in since my DS was born he's now 12 last one was changed June 2019 tia xx

PinkButtercups · 11/03/2022 00:06

Aww thank you and good luck to everyone.

Sorry I can't answer on the contraceptive posts as never taken any contraceptive well except making DP wrap up 😬🤣.

Hoping this time I'll get pregnant. I got pregnant with my DS first time trying so I'm being super impatient now!

I remember in school our sex ed (matron lol) said any girl who hasn't had a period can't get pregnant. I told my mum this when I got home and she stormed down there to tell her off 🙈🙊.

You can get pregnant without ever even having a period apparently 🤷🏻‍♀️.

OtiMama · 11/03/2022 06:51

@PinkButtercups I'm laughing at myself now as I actually got pregnant first time just off the pill with no period, so totally should know that.

Still none the wiser what my body is doing here! 😂
