Anyone else TTC number 2 in their mid-30s and fancy some company? 😊

I’m 35, have a DD who is just about to turn 4, and we’ve just started our first cycle trying for number 2.

I feel like we’d just reached the glorious stage of proper sleep, no nappies, actual conversations and being able to leave the house without half of the house crammed into a changing bag… so naturally I decided what our lives really need is a newborn 😂

I went very Type A when TTC my DD and turned the whole thing into a project - LH strips, BBT, supplements, special lube, the works 🙈 This time I’m trying very hard to be more relaxed and go with the flow. Trying being the operative word 😂

Would love some company from anyone in a similar boat: TTC number 2, mid-30s, slightly excited, slightly questioning their own sanity and trying not to symptom spot at 2DPO 😂

PS. Currently on cycle 1 and my fertile window is just about closing, so now entering the very calm and rational part where I definitely won’t analyse every bodily sensation for the next two weeks 😂🙈

I know it’s so hard not to become completely obsessed, I’m 10 months in and get more in my head each time. What cycle are you on? How do you feel about the age gap? If I conceive soon my little girl will be almost 6… never expected it to be that big but outwith my control now 🥹🥹

Only on our first cycle! It’s taken awhile for us to both to be comfortable with the idea of two, so this age gap suits us fine!
A six year age gap can seem quite large but imagine how doting and helping your eldest will be:) as long as you continue to love and nurture each child I don’t think any age gap is bad!
:) baby dust to you!
