Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[slg76]

Munchkin!! :wave: I've been missing you. Congratulations your worry is absolutely understandable but what a joyous time also.

I've been ok. I did a cycle on the maximum dose of injectable meds and made only one follicle. Boo. I have a new fertility dr that I like a lot and am planning on one more medicated cycle in sep. I'm also realizing that there will be some advantages to having only one child. So if it happens that would be amazing but I think I will really learn to be ok if I don't get pregnant.
Emily turns 4 next week! We are currently fightly daily about putting poop in the toilet just took a vacation in Hawaii and are enjoying all our summer activities while staying out of the worst of the heat.

CONGRATULATIONS MUNCHKIN!!!

We have all been thinking about you hun!! So great to see you back with lovely news!!

 

[babyjan]

Hope everyone else is doing well in here!!

I'm trying to be more laid back, as you can tell I'm spending less time in here especially the ttc boards. I was literally obsessing way too much and it really wasn't good for me lol

 

[Munchkin30]

Thanks ladies. Sorry to see you're all still ttc but we will all get our angels at the 'perfect' time. I know it's impossible to believe that right now but I'm so sure it's true.

Button it won't be long before you're back in baby making time again!

Sig I'm really glad you're getting to a place you can be happy with one child. My sil had lots of losses trying to get number 2 over 5 years and eventually accepted and was so happy with 'daddy bear, mummy bear and baby bear' stopped trying and fell pregnant. Apparently she resented it for ages because it would ruin her happy family picture. Of course she now has a beautiful 3 year old and adores him more than her life xxx

Thanks Babyjan. I had to just get away too. I've seen so many people on here having to do it but never understood why until now. I was still ttc obsessed but needed to not be comparing myself with people and just be in our own world.

I feel so so lucky we got this bfp so quickly, I don't know why it was quicker than my 4 other pregnancies but I pray it's a good omen. The mountain ahead of us seems unbearably steep at the moment but I'm so grateful to be here and just take it 1 step at a time xx

Munchkin that is such great news! You really do deserve it!
I can completely understand how you needed some time out!

We are still ttc, I think I had a chemical last month. Hope our bfps are just around the corner

Happy 4th birthday to my Emily today!!!!

How is everyone doing?

We have decided to try until the end of the year and then call it quits. I think I feel good about having a timeline in place I have high hopes that my new supplements are working their magic.

 

[babyjan]

Not doing so well over here, my relationship with OH is not going so well because of this, his really stressed about this and I don't know what to do.


Not sure I can take much more of this really, I don't really want to discuss this with people in real life, I tell my mum I'm scared I can't ever had another baby and that's about it.

 

[Munchkin30]

Sorry you're having such a hard time babyjan. Is there anyone at all you can talk to in real life? Have you thought about any sort of joint treatments like acupuncture or counselling? Might help to focus a bit.
Happy birthday Emily! So glad you're jn a good place hon. And as they say, it's often when you give up that you get lucky! Happened to my SIL.
Thanks tooty fruity good luck for next cycle xx

Happy birthday Emily!

We've had a good day, just got back from the zoo. Got my positive OPK yesterday but we're doing sneaky BDing because my mum is staying.

Sorry you're having a rough time BabyJan. Is there any chance you can get away for a break to relax from TTC for a bit? Even just some family days out?

 

[babyjan]

Button I'm at my mums house, OH told me to go away too.

His mad at me and doesn't even want to speak to me

 

[Button#]

I'm sorry, he shouldn't be getting mad at you, you're both going to be stressed out. Maybe Munchkin's suggestion of counselling would be a good idea. Look after yourself.

 

[babyjan]

I don't really want to talk about this with people I know, that's why I come to you girls!

I tell him that I'm just as stressed if not more but he says 'I caused it'.

Anyways I'm going to just wait to see if he will calm down, he gets like this when he is reminded of it, for example if his friends wife just gave birth or someone is pregnant....

His friend rang him yesterday to ask for a car seat as his wife has just had her second baby, both her kids are younger than my son

Plus he hatesss the fact that our son will end up having a huge age gap with the next

 

[Munchkin30]

Aww babyjan he seems to be feeling exactly how we all feel but instead of having a good cry and coming on here to moan he's lost in his feelings. It's not an excuse to be mean to you but maybe you need to take a very deep breath and give him this space to work out his feelings a bit and then try and really listen to him and put your own feelings to the side. Then he might be able to give your feelings more consideration. If I'm barking up totally the wrong tree I apologise but sometimes it seems simpler from the outside

 

[babyjan]

I totally agree with you munchkin xx

 

[babyjan]

Been very quite in here!

How is everyone doing?

Me and OH are good now, I'm on cd2 and also taking part in the clearblue trial using the fertility monitor. I'm also taking vitamins again after stopping due to feeling stressed and hopeless lol! Not really expecting much cause I feel like we tried everything and still nothing but I'm going to try stay positive

 

[Munchkin30]

Hi baby jan, good you're sounding lots more positive hon x it has been quiet here, hope everyone's ok. I'm doing ok (and NOT moaning about being pregnant I promise) but I've got a stinky cold, Seriously bloated and stuffing myself with junk to try and keep the nausea at bay. With that and the insomnia I'm feeling very glowy I'm sure!

 

[Button#]

Glad you're feeling happier BabyJan.

Hope your cold gets better soon Munchkin, annoying when you can't take anything.

I'm waiting for clearblue to send me OPKs for a trial as well. I'm pretty sure I'm out this month.

Hello all! Feeling low today...watching DD growing up without a sibling is heartbreaking....

Started using an OPK this month - got LH surge and manages to squeeze in loads of time. But feel PMS now and very much doubt that it will happen this month......

9 months on ttc........so depressing

A girl I work with announced last week that she is pregnant....happy for her but inside I feel so jealous....

 

[Button#]

Sorry you're having a rough day future sailor. Pregnancy announcements are hard.

Munchkin I'm going to be joining you!
