Any EX-LTTC'ers WTT?

[Sambatiki]

Hi Ladies,

I guess I'm now officially back to the WTT boards! We haven't decided when to TTC again. We're waiting on news on whether we can extend our house and after that we'll be able to decide when we can TTC again.

I'm obviously very excited to be thinking of extending our family further but after TTC for 4.5 years, I am also feeling quite anxious about it too. I'm grateful everyday for the wonderful daughter I've been blessed to have but it does make me feel sad that the road to no2 could be just as hard as it was to conceive her.

Is there anyone else feeling the same about TTC no2?

not sure if it counts as a LTTC as tried just over 2 years for our first, we wanted kids close in age so tried for no:2 when eldest was 3 months fell first month. Now we are waiting at least another year it dose worry me that it could take awhile again.

Hi ladies,
We TTC for 3 years and a successful round of IVF gave us a beautiful daughter .
I'm totally ready for another one, but financially we are going to wait until Jan 2016.
Only problem is my health. I need to see a specialist before having the coil removed incase I make myself worse.
Hubby has been away with work for a couple of months but he's back this weekend so will have a chat about it then.

Me!! We tried on and off for about 8 years. We finally got lucky on our first round of clomid. We have both male (low motility) and female (no ovulation) factors. I am super nervous about waiting. We had originally planned to try when DS turned one. However, due to some recent events I think we are going to have to wait until he is closer to 18-24 months. I think the bigger gap will be better but I am so worried about it taking a long time. We want a max 3.5 year gap. I am hoping with Clomid we will catch quickly again.

Hi Ladies

I am so pleased I'm not alone in this, but obviously not pleased that we all have had tough journeys getting here. I really hope that we all find it easier next time.

Krissie - Will be nice to have someone to wait it out with! Christian looks an absolute Cutie!! Fingers crossed the male factor has improved since last time

Emily - I think it will also be Jan 2016 for us too!! How did the 'chat' go?

 

[xx Emily xx]

We've not had it yet! He got home yesterday and dd isn't well so haven't had chance yet. He's home for 2 weeks though so plenty of time!

 

[Sambatiki]

Morning Ladies,

Hope you're all well.

Emily - Keep us updated xxx

 

[xx Emily xx]

Well we had a chat and were going to save for IVF and then go to GP for referral. That way we have the funds there if we need them. If were successful without IVF then we will spend the money on children, if we find IVF isn't an option, money will go on DD xx

 

[krissie328]

Best of luck Emily. I really hope that you guys don't need it and you can spend the money on both your babies!

 

[Sambatiki]

Emily - ooooh that's exciting!! Will you TTC naturally just in case you get a miracle?

Krissie -

We're STILL waiting on house extension news I need a plan!!!

 

[xx Emily xx]

Sambatiki - can't TTC naturally until I've been reviews by specialist. The only think keeping my endometriosis at bay at the mo is the coil, as soon as I have it removed it's likely to come straight back, putting my chance of conception and IVF at risk.

House extension sounds exiting! We moved into our house in November, waiting for some better weather to do the garden! We've had the pond emptied, just needs filling then I can rearrange everything!

So glad I found this thread! Emily we are in the same boat! I have the coil in and can't try naturally either.

Long story short I have PCOS and when ttc my first I found it caused unopposed eostrogen. This meant a build up of cells in my womb that became pre cancerous. I had the coil for 8 months then after the all clear it took 3 rounds of clomid.

We haven't completely decided when. My gp said she'd refer us back to the clinic straight away but there's a 3 month waiting list. Then I don't know if it'll be here's your prescription away you go or if they'll want to do another biopsy. Last time I got one in 9 weeks due to my results but he told me a routine one has a 6 month waiting list then 3 month wait for review appointment. So it could be 3 months or 1 year!

Plus I responded differently to each round of clomid and fell pg after ovulating on day 31 so not sure how successful it would be again

I think we'll go back to GP when LO is 1 and hope for the best.

 

[Sambatiki]

Emily - Ahhh I see! Hopefully you'll get some answers soon xxx

Lovecakes - Fingers crossed it only takes clomid again this time around.

We did 6 rounds of Clomid unsuccessfully, 1 round of IVF which ended in MC and finally conceived Pheebs naturally straight after the MC. Couldn't believe our luck! I honestly think my Great nanna sent her as I had the MC on the day she died. She must have had words with the big guy upstairs x

 

[LoveCakes]

Sambatki what a journey!

P.S. I have a Phoebe too

 

[Sambatiki]

Lovecakes - It certainly was a bumpy road but we got there in the end... we all have journeys it was f-ing hard getting there but I really honestly think it means I'm a better mother for it. I'm not saying that a mother who is one of those lucky buggers that only has to look at her partner and is up the duff isn't a wonderful mum. But for me I appreciate that little girl so so much. Don't get me wrong I have those awful days when bedtime can't come soon enough, but that is normal for anyone. When she is older I'll tell her how hard it was to get her. I'll never forget the heartbreak, the frustration, the tears, the pain, the anger but for me it just makes her special.... criikey I didn't mean to get all sentimental on you! We both have excellent name tastes!!

Hi Ladies,

How are you all?

Looks like TTC could be postponed for a little longer, my choice totally as I've entered the ballot for the London Marathon so could be May next year now!

 

[xx Emily xx]

Hey!

We could end up being May too! I need to go to the GP and get referred to specialist yet which can take ages!

I've just got a new job and handing in my notice tomorrow so I should be starting in a month. So I'll be really busy for next few months, don't want to add any extra stress!

When do you find out if you get accepted for the marathon? Have you got a charity you're running for?

Em xx

 

[krissie328]

We postponed ttc to next June.

Good luck on the marathon and new job.

 

[LoveCakes]

Good luck with the marathon!

I'm all confused now. Less than 2 years ago I was given my clomid prescription the same day the dr gave us the go ahead. Now on their new website it says there is a 5 month waiting list for ovulation induction so that would mean getting referred now but if the website is wrong we're not quite ready.

I might ring them and hope they don't just say it depends on the patient

 

[xx Emily xx]

Lovecakes- how confusing. Id give them a ring, it might make things clearer, or they could give you some advice on what to do.
