Oooh, can I join in, I have just started my last packet of mini-pills before TTC

My DD2 was born in the middle of Sept (about on time) and she was conceived on 27th December (no sex for 2 weeks either side of that)

Good luck

I would say so

We are both so excited about this, it will be our first DC together, I have 2 DDs and DP has a DD too, can't wait

Going on past experience I would imagine I will be up the duff within 2 months Having said that, I am 5 years older than last time.

Well we will certainly have fun experimenting whilst we wait for a result

Hi Mosschops and Bratnav
Can I join please....

We are gonna start trying for dc no 3 in December/January. At the moment not not ttc iykwim but not ttc proper till December. Would love a September Baby, obviously that means getting caught, and it sticking first month of trying. Can not but try though.

You sound like you catch easy Bratnav... think you stand a good chance. Mosschops Hope you are planning a lovely quiet Christmas with lots of time for romantic moments with DP unless you can catch as easy as Bratnav...

hi lavendertea, welcome

unfortunately I am like bratnav (or at least have been the last two times) I can get pg if the wind is blowing in the right direction . Did you catch quick with your other two?

It would be so great if we all caught when we wanted to in December/January

OP posts:
LavenderTea · 29/10/2008 16:18

Yes I get pregnant very easy too. I caught in first month when not trying with 1st, and in 1st month of trying with 2nd...
Looks like we are all pretty much hopeful then. Though I do feel that much older now, though dc 2 is still only 6 months and still bf one or two feeds a day. AF has returned, but not on regular cycle yet. Will go completely to formula however is this month AF is out of sync...

I dont have any at the moment with the mirena in so am wondering what cycle will be like when it returns. My GP tells me that fertility returns to normal straight away.

Fingers crossed for us all

OP posts:
bratnav · 29/10/2008 16:26

I don't have any AF either, haven't done for 18 months since being on the mini pill which has suited me fine until now. I have to say that I hope I catch quickly just so I don't have horrid AFs. We aren't in a huge rush as DDs and DSDs are 6,5 and 4.11, so there will be a lrage age gap anyway. Last time I had a 15 month gap, that was v hard work.

bratnav · 29/10/2008 16:28

Does anyone else feel slightly odd if they have 'shagging' sex as opposed to 'lovemaking' when TTC or is it just me? Love them both btw

Good luck to us all

Im kind of in a bit of a rush, had 8 years between dd and ds, so we will not have a 4 year gap between ds and next one, so dont want to leave it any longer.

I know what you mean about the sex thing, although I know Im going to become all Monica from friends about it shouting at dh 'come on get ur clothes off Im ovulating' and the rest of the month he wont get a look in

meant 'now' have a 4 year gap not 'not'

LOL at "shagging sex"

I know what you mean. I quite like it though I think it takes it out of my poor DH.... LOL

Yes good luck to all of us. Funny none of us have regular cycles yet too...

LavenderTea · 29/10/2008 16:34

LOL at Mosschops You go Monica...

When we were trying for dd (dc2) I was exactly the same. On the day I caught I was so busy with other stuff that during the actual dtd I was looking at my watch and got caught by dh... Lucky I caught really cos he wasn't impressed...

bratnav · 29/10/2008 16:37

Dp would be most perturbed if I did that to him, I mean I AM Monica, but we usually have sex at least 3 times a week, so cutting his rations would NOT be appreciated.

mosschops30 · 29/10/2008 18:34

at 3 times a week, better not show dh this thread, he's lucky if its 3 times a month

VickyJane77 · 29/10/2008 18:48

Hi can I join, we will be trying after Christmas, just going through 2nd mc in 2 months, so slightly anxious about ttc, but looking forward to it too .

bratnav · 30/10/2008 10:27

Hi Vicky, so sorry to hear about your mc's
Welcome to the thread and keeping everything crossed for you this time.

OP posts:
bratnav · 30/10/2008 15:47

Can anyone remind me of early symptoms that CANNOT be confused with AF?

VickyJane77 · 30/10/2008 16:14

Thanks for the welcome, like you say, onwards and upwards.
bratnav I'm not sure about early symptoms that can't be confused with af apart from missing af, oh and feeling really tired, that one always gets me.
