1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

[Peeonastick22]

Hey hey, making this thread to lead on from last months. I’m 1 or 2 dpo today and I’m going to try and not symptom spot this month!! Also going to try my best to not test until 12dpo at the earliest!

what DPO are you all?

@Wrenegade @ScaredSally so lovely to hear from you both again! Hope all is well with the little ones, it's crazy how quickly they go from being a newborn to a full on toddler running around and screaming 😂
Well I fell pregnant shortly before her first birthday by accident so I'm due my second in march, definitely done after two!! I am dreading juggling them both

Wow @MillieKitty congratulations! That is such a difference conception experience. How has it been being pregnant with a toddler?

I can’t believe how quickly they have grown.

@ScaredSally totally get this and there was a little while I was in the one and done camp. So cute that he enjoys chatting so much 🥹. It certainly is exhausting but I am loving this age.

@Wrenegade oh god it's hard as I just have no energy and had bad sickness the first 20 weeks or so, starting to feel a bit more normal now, yeah it's weird to not have been testing monthly etc ttc! I was looking forward to all that again one day 😂

@MillieKitty oh gosh I can’t even imagine the tiredness and struggle with being sick whilst having a toddler. I’m so pleased you’re beginning to feel a bit better. Did you find out if you’re having a girl or boy this time?

Haha, I’m going to try next time around to be casual about the TTC process. I will see how long that lasts 😂

@Wrenegade it'll probably be easier to feel more relaxed and casual next time as your little one will be keeping you busy and distracting you!
We found out this time and it is another girl!

Congratulations @MillieKitty ! Another girl, how lovely. Sorry you didn't get to enjoy the TTC part this time 😂I hope the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful.

I can't believe it's been 2 years, I feel weirdly nostalgic for the ups and downs of TTC a first baby. My litte boy is coming up on 15 months and exhausting, but so wonderful.

I think for various reasons we'll probably wait at least another year before seriously thinking about a second, but I do feel a bit jealous when I see pregnant women. I think it's a trap, they can be so cute at this age and the memories of the early newborn weeks are a bit hazier, but I'm not prepared for the terrible 2s yet 😆

@MillieKitty congratulations in your little girl, such lovely news!

@Mortima I think we had similar arrival times and we initially were adamant we would wait to the 2/3 year mark before considering TTC again. Largely just because we have had no good sleep. But I’m broody and I’ve managed to convince ourselves that we’re still up hourly anyway so why not be up with two 🙈. Our little girl is totally obsessed with babies and it feels cruel of me to deny her of that 🤭

@Wrenegade You're a stronger woman than me 😅I'm sorry sleep has been so rubbish for you; I agree there's definitely an argument for going through all of that intensity at once, so good luck when the time comes!

I think sleep is one of the things I struggle with the most, even though we really haven't had it that bad and are thankfully in a decent phase at the moment with it. It's probably what gives me the most pause about having another, the prospect of having a baby who sleeps really poorly for a long time, on top of managing a toddler or small child.

Which seems a bit silly as it's only temporary, and plenty of people survive much worse. But the broodiness is real...

@Wrenegade sorry to hear you're up hourly?! You must be exhausted or are you just used to it by now? Your second one should hopefully be a better sleeper!

@Mortima thank you! I don't blame you for wanting to wait for a second, it's hard to know when the right time is

Ohh I don't know how I missed this! Congratulations on the second one ❤️ what lovely news!
I'd love another but after September probably when we know the 30hours are definite haha! And I have had issues with my body since having our little darling, so I now have to have a biopsy and then going to see if a coil works out my issues... fingers crossed! I think it is a non hormonal so I can just do the old take it out and be ready to go when we are ready to go... but I'm horrendously broody just respecting hubbys wishes! Haha!

Just checking in on you all! I had a baby girl in march, she’s great just not a great feeder and a bit refluxy!

@PPophope the post birth issues are okay now?
@Mortimahope you’re getting lots of sleep now?!
@Wrenegadehave you ventured to two yet?!
@ScaredSallyhope the little one is okay , toddlers aren’t for the weak 🥴
