TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[runnergrl]

I'm 34 now despite my name (35 in sept) so want to get this baby making malarky done now!

I'm going to buy a test tomorrow and save it for Thursday fmu assuming the witch doesn't arrive. I realised when I checked my cp this morning it was straight after bd (sorry, tmi) so I checked again this pm and it's really soft again (and still high). It was checking my cp that made me realise I was pregnant last time do it's hard not to get my hopes up!

Brady is a lovely name too! Yes, she's into everything! She was walking from 10 months so I'm used to that now although I do still get the odd shock - like when she could suddenly reach stuff off the worktop and got hold of an incredibly sharp knife!
What really amazes me is how quickly the new born stage is over. I never thought I'd be ready to go through all if that again so soon but here I am hoping and praying for a BFP!

LOL! hopefully it is baby brain! I havent ever checked my CP... and dont have the slightest clue how. I just rely on my temps and OPK's.. Maybe I should look into that

Holly- love your pics, I totally remember them! I cant believe you dont have a full term one either. Just curious, did you nurse?

How old is everyone on here? just wondering if I am the old grandma

Yeah I bf exclusively for 6 months, then did both formula and breast milk. It went really good with Dom, so I'm hoping #2 will go as smoothly.

I am 27, really thinking abouy Breastfeeding but dont know y'all

 

[runnergrl]

i highly recommend nursing. We did it for 14+ months. was a very positive, bonding experience for me and my son

 

[HollySSmith]

I would have loved to continue bfing but Dom was a biter and cut his first tooth just shy of 3 months. I stuck it out as long as I could but after the third time of drawing blood i called it quits for full-time bfing. He still got bm until he was 9 months but at that point he wasn't interested anymore. I agree that it was a very positive experience.

Btw I'm 29.

Well AF arrived today right on time with awful cramps that kept me up half the night

We're on to month six now which is so frustrating. I'm 22, DH is 24 it shouldn't be taking us this long! It's getting harder and harder not to worry that something is wrong.

I'm sorry to hear that the got you. It must be incredibly frustrating but i agree with mamamac, it would be a good idea to do some basic testing now to rule things out. On the other hand, it can take perfectly healthy couples up to a year to conceive (I think we only have a 25% chance each month to conceive) but if there is an issue, then it's better to have it found sooner than later.

It would definitely be good to know sooner than later!

i just wish I had some idea why it isn't working. I'm at a healthy weight, eat well, avoid alcohol and caffeine, exercise. I know I'm ovulating and have fairly regular cycles and as far as I know I don't have anything like PCOS or endo.

I think this month we'll just try to BD every 2-3 days. I'm also going to try to focus more on my son. I get so wrapped up thinking about wanting another baby when I should try to be 100% focused on the one I already have!

That's not a bad plan. I hear stories all the time of people who get pregnant as soon as they stop "trying" so hard. Relax, have fun, enjoy your little one and it will happen I bet

Morning all

How is everyone doing today? I'm a little bit crazier than usual but that's what happens at this point in the month! AF is due today and I spent yesterday evening convinced I was out because of the cramps and back ache. Then I dreamt I was pregnant and got all hopeful again. It's amazing how ttc can mess with your head so much especially since its only my first month trying!

Anyway I've decided to test today instead of winding myself up fir another 24 hours! I can't get to the shop yet so will let you know this afternoon.

I breast fed too until Abbie self weaned at 5 months. I didn't want to stop but she just refused the boob completely. I'll definitely bf next time too.

Anyone got good symptoms today? This thread needs some bfp's!!

Goooood luuuck Ellie.

I had my IUD out mon. Barely spotted Tuesday got a little spotting and today Its increasing so I dont know what that says for me being that I am suppose to ov any where from tomorrow til the 13th. Sooooo I guess I will keep opk testing and temping.

We do need some bfp in here

 

[ellieb31]

Sorry to disappoint but I'm afraid. I bought a two pack so I'll test again in the morning but I won't get my hopes up because I'd expect to have a faint positive by now.

I'd love it to change to but if it doesn't onwards and upwards for cycle 2!

 

[ellieb31]

And thank you all so much for the good vibes. It means a lot!

 

[runnergrl]

awwwww Sorry Ellie! do you chart? are your cycles 28 days? If they are and you arent pregnant, we will be very close to each other if we both conceive this next cycle!

 

[sla545]

Sorry to hear about the BFN ellie. Good vibes for next cycle!

Well today is 3-5dpo and I am getting super anxious. Took another OPK yesterday and it was negative so I am officially convinced that I did O this cycle, but I am just not sure when yet. I really think I am 5dpo so since i wont be able to wait Im sure i will POAS this weekend. Not getting my hopes up though and am expecting a BFN since it will be early!
