We're trying for #2 from June, all going well I want to lose 5-8kg first, just to make the pregnancy easier, especially with a toddler to run around after. I'm already lighter now than when I got preggers with DS, so that's good 
I'm so clucky!! |

Yea ive been going to the gym wanting to lose weight but its just not happening, im getting more fit & more muscle but not losing.
I really wanted a small age gap but ended up having a miscarriage. Which did put me off wanting another for a while. But it seems overnight i have changed, i talked to DP and he said i dont want a baby for 1 year, i was like with the time im pregnant etc thats suits perfect lol. -------------

sabrina some times males dont know what they want
honestly though give DP a couple of days to think about and talk to him again. this is what i did with DP and he now wants it more then me. plus like you said it can take a while to actually get UTD (dont know how long it took you to conceive your first) ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

It did take us over a year for our 1st, our 2nd which ended in miscarriage was conceived the 1st month of trying. With my cycle all over the place it could take a while this time though -------------

are you any birthcontrol? maybe you could start charting now and then when your DP is ready you will (hopefully) have some idea of what your cycles are doing ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

We are hoping to TTC for no.2 around June this year, I am a lot more keen than DH and would love to try now but DD (16 months) is a December baby as well as most of the rest of my family so we would like to have a mid year baby if possible, but it took nearly a year of TTC to fall PG the first time and I am thinking it will be the same again. I am so clucky I have 3 friends all with babies due at the moment.

Im the same Heidismum. DD took us nearly a year to concieve but #2 took us the first time. This time will be interesing.
DP still isnt 100% sure but thats because i had a rough pregnancy with DD so he doesnt know if ill cope having dd at home all day etc, but i said id have no other choice but i think with me being busy all the time i wont notice sickness etc as much as when i was sitting home by myself. DD is a Jan baby so i didnt want another one. But i dont want a winter baby either, so im hoping ill be pregnant so i can have a feb-june baby. You get to a point though you just want to be pregnant so you dont care when your baby is due. lol -------------

Ooh yay Sabrina!! We are thinking of TTC#2 soon too. I had a m/c before conceiving Chelsea, really hoping to not have another one
Am kinda thinking of not trying till July though, as don't want another baby to be born around Chelsea's birthday. Although it took 7months to get UTD with her so not likely to happen right away this time! I think we'll just wait and see where we end up living when our lease finishes end of May, then get my IUD out, wait a couple of cycles then see what happens
ETA: my "cycle" is all over the place too, I don't think I've even ovulated since I got pg with Chelsea lol. I was getting AF every 10-12 days from October - Feb, then it eventually got longer and now I'm on CD40 lol ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Yep, we are starting properly this month to try for number 1. Last month we got married and instead of trying to we just stopped trying not to.
I have no idea how long it might take but will try to not worry and just enjoy it!

My DS was born on 22 Dec and so far it hasn't been so bad , they let me out of hospital on christmas day, lol. His first birthday last year was great, as my inlaws came up for his birthday and then stayed for Christmas. We figured June for ttc, as March would be a good month for a baby, plus it's quiet at my work over winter. Silly isn't it, planning a baby around work, but the temp who covered for me last time, caused abit of grief, so if one isn't required, my job would be quite safe.  and my reps would be happy!

I'm still BF though and at the moment i'm 6 weeks and may be miscarrying, will have to check at the scan tomorrow. If this little bean doesn't stick we will try again fairly soon, I would love an age gap of less than 3 years ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We'll be trying come June. Have been trying to figure out my cycle at this stage. I charted for a few months but am just going to try using the OPKs because I found it hard to read my chart and it is difficult to do a temp at the same time before getting out of bed. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We've been TTC since Jan although everytime we start trying something comes up and we put it off lol. I think we just keep getting cold feet YKWIM. Our twins are turning two next month and can be a bit of a handful. We are so ready for another baby but every so often I think to myself where will we fit a newborn! Or how am I going to start from scratch all over again?!?!
I guess you could say we are casually trying lol -------------

Hi Thmprs,
Welcome to OhBaby! Its great! I've heard that the Ovulation sticks are brilliant, particularly if you have trouble pinpointing exacting when its happening. A couple of friends have used them (after trying with no luck for a few months), and fallen pregnant that same month. GOOD LUCK! :-) |

hey guys
ive been in the waiting to ttc thread for like 2 years but been hanging in charts for ages now. just got married in march and have finally been to the docs to get some folic acid and get my bloods done - just found out im immune to rubella so i guess we have the go ahead!
bought a BBT so just waiting on that to arrive so i can sort my cycle out as i have been off the bcp since july last year and my cycle still hasnt quite gone regular yet (Although it never was before going on bcp so not expecting it to be that regular). anyways, just thought i would pop my head in here too! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hi girls,
We are going to TTC #2 in June or July (DH thinks July but I'm trying to get him to try earlier )
Bit nervous as it took 2 years to get DS so fingers crossed we don't have to try as long next time. DS is 2yrs now so I would ideally like less than a 4 year gap between them! Baby dust to everyone ------------- http://lilypie.com">

OKAY.... ODD question...... is it possible to miss EWCM??? I have been waiting, waiting, waiting.... thought that I would have hit ovulation on Fri just gone, but have not seen the signs IYKWIM.
Its only our 1st month of trying, but Im so so sosoooooooooooooooooo impatient...... just want things to happen asap! It took us 6months the first time around, and the 2nd was super dooper fast.... hope this one is too! Hope your all keeping well, and positive!

What is EWCM?
You could have missed ovulation, or it could be late this month?? Im pretty sure i am now FX. But im far from regular so i might not be.
If known i was pregnant early with both pregnancies, so will be interesting if i know next time around. Last month i didnt have a good feeling, but this month everything is going right for us and i just have a feeling this might be our month. I hope so. It would give us a 12 feb due date -------------

Sabrina, EWCM = Egg White Cervical Mucus it's the stuff that looks jellyish (or like raw egg whites, which is where the name comes from) that comes out when you're most fertile. Glad you asked? Lol!
Good luck for this month, hope your positive feeling is correct!!  ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Never had one like that before! Not keen to have another one in a hurry - Fingers crossed for next month!!! Hope your all doing well.

Hey Sabrina,
This is my first month charting so it's all a new world for me!! Basically it was and still is the girls in the charting thread that are talking me through it, including how to set up the chart on fertility friend. Must say though that I can see the benefits in it for sure, and already is making me more in tune with what is going on in my body, so I can recommend it (although the best recommendation would be for me to say it got me UTD but not yet...although lots of the ladies that have charted have!!) ------------- 3 little Angels July 10, May 11, Apr 13

yes that's me, started a new job early last month and we were going to wait till Nov/Dec because of it (particularly so I would be entitled to keep the job for 1 year after birth) bit then that very same month I thought what the heck it's our life and we are ready now, I don't owe my employer anything plus who knows just exactly how long it takes to get a BFP. |

In saying your not entiled to the full 12months Maternity Leave - its something that you can discuss with them & most i've found are open to letting you take the full 12months - or something that would suit both parties.

Hi, I'm Tanya and I have a DS who is 15mo, a June 09 baby. We're going to start ttc baby number two in two weeks, I'm so excited
I've got a MaybeBaby microscope thingee which I'll use this time also. I only ended up using it for like 2-3 days last time so didn't look into other OV methods, but will this time if needed. It's all new to me so will need to look google everything
My last period was around the 7th Sept and I think my cycle is 28 days. So I guess I next OV around mid-October? Actually does anyone know if I start counting at the very begining of my period, ie for me I get a day or two of a browny discharge, then my period turns proper red and last for a few days. Sorry if that's TMI Lets hope we all move into a 'Due in .... 2011' thread soon!! -------------

Ok, so I went out and bought a HPT as I just couldn't wait till next week (I think AF is due mid-week). Well the test was a BFN, but I'm wondering if anyone else has tested days before AF would have been due and got a BFN, then days later got a BFP?
I go all crazy when it comes down ttc another baby, it's mental - and this is our first attempt at ttc no.2! I fell preggers the first couple of days we ttc no.1, so it must have been perfect timing as I didnt know my cycle at all. But I think I had already OV'd (I noticed the EWCM about 2 days before) when we started a week or so ago, so I shouldn't be too disappointed but I'm living in a little hope as I've had slight cramps for about a week, which I don't normally get prior to AF arriving. -------------
