Hi I'm fairly new here. I have one little boy who is 16 months old and I have been ttc no. 2 for four months now. It took us 4 years and a mc to conceive no. 1 so I'm worried and anxious already.
I have a 28 day cycle and am on cd9 today- fingers crossed or us all!!!

yellowflowers · 29/10/2008 11:59

wow - finger's crossed makka - what happened in those 4 years?

Hi yellowflower- in the 4 years of trying we underwent a multitude of tests but the results were inconclusive- unexplained infertiity. Then the miscarriage. So now we want a second and as I'm 36 i am worried that age is not on my side.
How long have you been trying?

2manychips · 29/10/2008 19:56

Hey ladies! may I join? Been ttc#2 for 6mo. (seems nothing compared to some on here)Have a beautiful 18mo dd, but worrying why this is taking longer. Had a chemical pregnancy a couple of cycles back. Am 37 so have also got the age thing concerning me a little. Hope I've understood the abbreviations.
Have a 26-28 day cycle and cd5.
(Hang in there Wishing!)

Issy42 · 29/10/2008 20:13

I also said I'd stay on the July thread as I worked out that success this month would mean an EDD of 31st July, but 1st ones are always late aren't they .

Here's wishing everyone a BFP for this cycle (Wishing - wishing you a bfp for this week).

Sorry 2manychips, we cross posted. I'm 37 too and had an early mc in March and I think a chemical pregnancy last week (may have been a faulty test).

LJ29 · 29/10/2008 20:32

Hi guys, I've updated my details as day1 was yesterday so day 2 today. TMI alert! AF is soooo heavy. Really does leave me feeling exhausted.

Anyway, on a positive note, I have worked out that my cycles appear longer than they used to be - almost certainly over 30 days so I think we have been missing the fertile days completely. Whilst this is obviously bloody annoying at least I can now hope that getting the timing right should make a difference especially as DS and DD were so easy to conceive - we weren't even trying for DS and only tried for one month for DD.

I've explained all of this to DH and told him that once AF has disappeared then he's "getting it" every other day until at least day 25!!! He's been a bit reluctant the last 2 months but seems up for it this time especially as conceiving this month would mean an August baby, if we don't it will be September and that will mean that baby would fall into a different school year eventually which in turn means an extra 12 months of nursery fees.

I've started to take evening primrose oil which is supposed to increase cm but as I don't know when I ov I'm not sure when to stop taking it - apparently it causes contractions and can interfere with implantation. Any advice?

madmarriedNika · 29/10/2008 20:44

Please can I join too? Was on the last 3 months lists but no joy yet- just worked out EDD if I did somehow fall pregnant this month and would be early August. I'm TTC#3 and was everso lucky with my last 2 that I conceived straightaway without even trying almost! This time things are taking a bit longer, but DD (16 months) is hard work at the moment bless her and we're not getting much sleep, so not sure if that plays a part in whether my body's ready to conceive...or perhaps limiting the opportunities/energy for BDing! I have complicated pregnancies and will need a CVS with the next if/when it happens so I am TTC with some trepidation...but we do really want #3 (even though I know how lucky we are to already have 2...)

Babydust to you all! and enjoy the BDing

Hi everyone!
2manychips our circumstnces sound so similer-my child -a son- is 16 months and I'm 36 next week, lets hope our age doesn't hinder us anymore than it should...
My son's sleeping through but is incredibly hard work during the day- enjoyable but hard !!I've only just found the energy to start to actively ttc..must try harder I do so want to have more than ne child- i always did but before i had my son i thought i wouldn't even get the chsnce to hold one baby.
Good luck to us all!!!

LittleCheese · 29/10/2008 23:01

Hi everybody- it so nice to be on this thread where everyone is wanting the same thing. I am on cd11 today and am following the 'procedure' we used to conceive our ds- eventually- and that is to bd every other day from cd8 to cd 20 thereby covering all ood luck ladies- ov/lp possibilities. Lets face it, you don't haveto work our ov etc if you follow this and as shattered as i am with my little boy i feel i cannot afford to 'mess about'. GOOD LUCK LADIES- i mean that.
