We're not actively TTC ATM but I am interested to know...when/how did you know you were pregnant 2nd time around? Was it just when you were late / got a positive test or was it earlier? I've heard HEAPS of people saying they knew a week before their period was even due! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Well I didn't keep track of AF and I felt that it had been quite a while since she had visited so guessed. Took a test and what do you know. I had no idea how far along I was. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Yeah LOL we've been talking about number 2 but I've paid no attention to my cycles what-so-ever so I have no idea how long they are! Whoopsy. I'm reluctant to "start TTC" as last time it took 24 very stressful months and I don't want to go there again.
Anyway, that is off-topic! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Both of mine have been "oh well if we get pregnant we get pregnant" First one took 2 cycles and the second 1 night ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Exactly the same as us!   
And to answer the original question, the second time around I didn't think I was pregnant until I was late by two days for my period (I'm pretty regular) but until I had several positive tests in my hand, I didn't believe it. Same as the first time - I think I'm just not that intuitive about being pregnant! I didn't even 'feel pregnant' with this pregnancy until much further on, about 15 weeks, which was a lot longer than my first. ------------- Mum to two gorgeous girls! |

It's funny eh! I think because we'd just started 'not NOT trying' and it happened so fast, I was a bit shocked. Ah well, we are pretty lucky I guess. DH thinks he has super sperm!  ------------- Mum to two gorgeous girls! |

I think I actually suspected more when I was pregnant with Gina than with this one. I did get the odd twinge etc but kept thinking no way, we had just gone into TTC mode that month, after I got af back, and I though it was going to be too good to be true to get pregnant first off. We were very lucky.
Good luck - hope it happens quickly for you  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

i didn't think i was preggy with jack until i had the BFP in my hand...that was even with AF 2wks late but i had no preggy 'symptoms' until i was 9-10wks with him anyway
with charli, i tested the day AF was due and got the BFP because one night we'd had a couple of drinks and i was quite sick the next day.......which also happened when i was preggy with jack, both times only a week after BDing! we got preggy the first night of trying with both kids, so are really fertile and extremely lucky! ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Haha I didn't find out I was pregnant with Charlotte until I was 10 weeks! Not intuitive AT ALL. With Kate I was 1 day late and knew I must be pregnant as I am like clockwork- always always 12 days after o. Didn't suspect really before that as I didn't have any signs that I was aware if until a few weeks after that. ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

With all my kids I think I suspected that I was before I got it confirmed. It probably sounds silly, but I just had the feeling I was, it wasn't a sick feeling it was just a "feeling/feeling" I guess I was more in tuned with my body with Nyah & Cooper.
Good luck. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

With first pregnancy I was 1 week late and got the BFP and with this pregnancy I was a few days late. Took me 3 months to get pregnant both times. ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

Oh well time will tell. I think we may have unknowingly timed things right on ovulation day and my lower abdo has been achey since yesterday and I feel kinda...umm...hormonal (I'm sensitive to hormone shifts) but it is probably nothing as I'm only about 8 or so DPO (but as I said as were not planning or trying I have no idea what my cycle length etc is). Somewhere between 26 and 29 days I think. I do know it is probably far too soon to get any symptoms though!!! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Don't mind really. We feel like we could be excited about it and ready for it anytime from now but I'll be 100% shocked if it happens first month when I'm not even tracking my cycles! It took 24 months of trying and 3 months of clomiphene for "unexplained" fertility problems last time. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |
