How long did it take you to conceive baby 2?

I’m desperate for baby 2 but worried as I’m a little older and periods are a bit all over the place since I stopped breastfeeding that it’s going to be harder this time around

Just wandered if anyone in this group has had any success with improving their partner’s sperm quality after being diagnosed with Male Factor issues, and if so what did you do?

Got my dye stealer!

18 dpo today I think. I know it’s weird to keep testing but it’s helping my nerves as I never got one like this with my ectopic!

Trying for baby no.2

I'd love to know everyone's baby no.2 experience. When did you start trying and what's the age gap? For those that have had baby no.2 right after your first (within the following 12 months or so), how was it anatomically and physically? How did it feel physically to become pregnant again soon after? The NHS instill...

How old is too old

So I have a 9 month old baby and really really want another. I'm 35 so want to do it kinda quickly. I didn't have the best but certainly not the worst pregnancy. Am I getting too old? Any other mom's have multiple babies after 35??

Emotional/BF?

Anyone reduced BF feeds/pumps recently and felt a dip in mood? Not sure if it’s linked but LO sleeping through the night over the last couple weeks and also I’ve been upping bottles vs BF with the plan to stop when she turns 1. Not had my period back but I feel SO low and negative and it’s not like me at all. No id...

Why is getting pregnant so hard😢

Not a real question but on month 13 of trying and my husband & I are just really getting in our feelings about it. We have been trying for so long it just seems like it’s never going to end. Just ranting😔

PCOS

Is anyone else in the same boat, I have PCOS and have been TTC since August. I never seem to get a ‘high’ or even a ‘peak’ on my ovulation tests. My periods are very irregular and light. Just wondering if anyone else is going through the same and has managed to conceive or any other advice? Xx

Trying for number two

Has anyone else started trying or thinking about trying for number two? Ideally I’d love a 2 year age gap, knowing it took so long to conceive the first time, are we stupid to start trying now?

Looking around 2/3 years - I'm struggling with knowing if this will be our last baby or not. My heart tells me I would like another, but my head tells me that might not be the best idea.. How did you...

Hi TTC friends. My husband and I have been ttc for 6, almost 7 years.. we’ve have multiple losses. We have kinda given up hope. We’ve been to specialists and done medication.. and doctors suggested IVF but we cannot afford IVF. I think we are going to try one more time to get pregnant naturally since that seems to b...

My boyfriend order lidocaine spray

Yes, he told me to open the package. I didn't know what it was used for until I looked it up and wow... he expressed to me a few times that he thought he ejaculate too fast, but not to me, and if he does, it's definitely not all the time. How will this affect me (my vagina) when we have sex if anyone knows or has us...

2nd kid

Did you plan your births (actively try to not get pregnant) or did you just let it be what it’s gonna be? My husband and I have been wanting another child for a while now but we only just got settled in our new home and in a spot where we are ready to try (or at least stop trying to prevent it). My daughter is 5 an...

Any advice?

My husband and I will be trying for baby #2 in a couple of months. How easily was it for y'all to conceive after your first? I know everyone is different but I'd like to hear all of the answers 😁 Also is there anything specific (besides sexy time) that helped y'all conceive?
