Newbie here - Intro

I think it's time I accept that it's taking longer than expected to concieve baby #2 and join you all here if you'll let me!

I'm Amy (28), married with one dd, Fiona (2).

We've been trying for baby #2 for 9 months now.

The day we decided we were ready for #2 I was expecting AF....she never showed and I've been having weird cycles since. Horrible timing for something like this to start happening. I've been right on time every single month since AF started in my teen years.

I don't spend a lot of time on JM anymore because I'm a busy photographer - of maternity and newborns (doesn't help the desire for a baby at all lol) but I hope to stay here...but not for very long. FX!

Hi Amy!

I'm Lindsey (29). Sorry nobody has written to you! I spend a lot more time on the "Trying to Conceive" board... I think that one is busier than this one bc I seem to get way more feedback when I post on that one. But I actually do belong to this board and check it every now and then!

We are on our 8th cycle TTC our 1st baby but just joined JM last month. Have you started charting/temping to see if you can try and figure out what is going on with your cycle? I would recommend Fertility Friend if you aren't already on it. I started charting last month and really love it! Except for the fact that I was nearly obsessed with my chart last cycle hoping to see any possible sign of pregnancy possible...and drove myself nuts thinking I could be pregnant only to have AF ruin it for me! but it really does help to figure out your most fertile time, ovulation day, how long your LP is...etc. I think I will be much better charting this cycle and it will be interesting to compare the 2. i was able to get a lot of feedback whenever I posted in the "fertility charting" or the "trying to conceive" board if you needed some help with that.

Where are you at in your cycle now? I noticed your post was about a month ago...has anything gotten better since then?

Good luck to you!
