[Jefner]

Hi Ladies! I'm Jenny and DH and I are ttc # 2. I just started my second cycle so I'm looking for some cycle buddies! Technically af started on Saturday, August 29, so I'm on CD 3 (almost 4) today. Anyone care to join me and we can go through this cycle together?!

HUGS and BABYDUST!!!!

Hi Ingrid! I know what you mean about testing! I'm on CD 5 today so it feels like forever until I can even start opks! I started using vitamin B-50 this cycle to try to lengthen my leuteal phase, so I wonder if that will make me O earlier? I usually O around CD 11-13 and my lp is usually about 12 days. I know 12 days isn't a defect, but I figure lengthening it by a day or so can't hurt anything, right? GL and babydust to you!!

Hi Jenny, sounds like you got things all organised!
I am on cycle day 20, due AF on 9th or 10th, i do have a heavy feeling like a twinge in my left side and today have been pee'ing like mad, but I wont be symptom spotting anymore than that.
I think my little boy Finn would love a sibling!

It's so hard not to read into every symptom, isn't it? Esp. when you're that close to testing!

I know Alex would love a sibling. She tries to help with the babies at daycare, so I think she'd like to have that at home. My only worry is that she's a huge mama's girl (I hope it's just a phase)...I mean, sometimes you'd think I was beating her by trying to get her to sit by DH! This week has been especially hard since I went back to school yesterday after having the whole summer off with her, so she's been even more clingy than usual. Who knows, maybe a little sibling is just what she needs to snap her out of it!

sounds like you're about ready to start testing.. DH and I opted to not use OPKs this month I had a CP last month... I'm on my second cycle and I either Oed last night, today or i'll do so tomorrow.. I have reg. cycles

our kiddos aren't much different in ages... my DS is 2. I wanted my kids 2-3yrs apart and i'm running behind.. If i get a BFP this month I'll be due 2 weeks after DS's 3rd bday

Hi jenny and wifenmom,

i did something stupid his morning i did a test...it was BFN, cd10, i wasnt that surprised, i know i am not preg this month, usually i have a few symptoms (leg cramps are usually my sign)
I still feel dissapointed, i thougtht i stood a good chance, as i piponted time of ovulation around 4pm (i use clearblue digital ovulation tests) we bd'd that night and the next morning...
nevermind!


wifenmom goodluck with the imminent b'd.
Jenny are you a teacher then? I am sure Alex will love a baby sibling and will want to 'help' you dress, change, feed baby!

OMG, Ingrid, congrats on your BFP!!! Your bfn at 10 dpo must have been too early. When did you get the BFP??

I O'd yesterday, a bit later than usual, so I don't think I'll be testing until Sept. 25/26. We timed everything right and I used softcups after bd, so hopfully I'm right behind you in the department!

wifenmom ~ welcome to our little thread! I think 2-3 years is a good spread between kiddos. Closer to three years, though, is what I'd prefer. A few of my friends have kids 2 years apart and just based on their experience I'd prefer a slightly bigger age gap. Plus, Alex still isn't talking much yet, so I'd like to give her a little more time to get better with communicating before we throw another baby into the mix.

Ingrid ~ Yep, I'm a teacher. I teach English composition at a local university. I really like it because I get to do a lot of work on my own time (lesson plans, grading papers, etc). On the downside, Alex is at the age where I can't do much work at home, as she always wants my attention. She was totally enamoured with a baby at the football game we went to yesterday, so I think she'll be a good big sister. She doesn't get jealous when I hold babies (several of my friends' kids get really jealous), so that makes me feel good!

Congrats again, Ingrid! I sure hope this 2ww goes by fast!!
