Hey there
I am Tina, and I have been TTC#3 for almost two years (officially) although DH and I have never used b/c since our daughter was born almost 4 years ago. I have lost 2 babies last year, and haven't managed to get pregnant since the last miscarriage (last December). My OB/GYN just put me on Clomid, and I also have been prescribed Prometrium for when I do become PG for the first three months. I just finished round 1 of Clomid, and I am hoping hoping hoping...

I think the hardest thing for me having sencondary infertility, is how cruel people can be. "You have two kids already, just be thankful", "Why do you want more anyways", or the worst comment I ever had was right after my m/c and the comment came from a co-worker, "I never felt sorry for you when you had your m/c because you already have kids".

Hey Tina,
Thanks for posting your story! I had my IUD removed in Oct of last year and started TTC #3 in Janary 2008. I had a MC in 2002 and a MC in 2004 but thought that they were because I was prego too many times in 24 months so just figured when I got prego in 2008, I'd be good to go Tried to get prego Jan, Feb, took off March, April and got prego in May. I really tried to remain positive, talked positive about it but in my heart had a lot of fear that it too would be a MC. Sadly on July 4th I started to MC for the 3rd time. Tried again to get prego in July, then Aug, no luck so here I am gearing up for OV in Sept I guess my journey this time is really only 8-9 months long but I just felt that I would get prego right away since I did with my 1st two children (even with the MC's sprinkled in among them). Good news I've not had ANY real awful comments come my way but I do tend to hear most of them from my mom about if it doesnt happen, I have two beautiful healthy babies. YES< that is true, but DUH I know all of that, it doesn't help alleviate my stress of TTC.

Thanks for sharing your story

Hello girls, I have one 6 year old son who was unplanned, and like you JJF figured I'd have no trouble getting pregnant again, but it's been almost a year, we are on cycle 11 and have no hope for this month between the dreaded mysterious spotting I get every month for 2,3,4 days before AF starts and the fact that hubby will just be away for work during when I think I might O, I don't think I will be O'ing before he goes. Technically I'm not at the one year mark yet, I have one more cycle to go before I hit it, but I feel like I don't fit anywhere else either, and I no longer recognize many of the names over on the TTC boards, I guess it's also stings because I didn't think I'd be there for long, I mean I did it once, so I figured I'd be able to do it again. When I go for me yearly in 2 months I will know more about what's going on I guess. So, that's my story so far. Noone has made any nasty comments about anything, maybe one person did, in relation to already having one, and being thankful for him, which I am, but I just so long to have more, no particular reason other than I feel that longing to have another, hopefully two more. I have a feeling my family does not expect me to have more, they always talk about saving Joshua's toys for whenever he is grown and has children.

I also got pre-eclampsia at 34+3 and delivered 5 and a half weeks early, so I guess that scared my family also. I sometimes wonder if maybe because I had it that's why it's so difficult to conceive again? Maybe something is wrong or damaged inside me because of it? Maybe it's b/c of being on BCP and my hormones are screwy? Like I said, I guess I will find out more at my yearly. I'm not glad we are here or in this situation, but I'm glad there are other women that understand what I feel. to you all ladies.

Hi everyone,
I will be joining you in this section too, didnt realise it had been set up until now.
Well im 27, TTC#2. Last depo in Dec 07, no AF as yet. Tried Norethisterone but didnt get a withdrawal bleed at all, so had all bloods done, which im told were all normal and was diagnosed with secondary infertility. So ive got to wait for AF now, and if that doesnt come by the end of the year i will be refered to gynae/infertility specialists. I know im still in the early stages, been TTC 7 months now, but feel that i dont fit in anywhere else because i already have a lil boy whos 2.

Anyway, last weekend i had some EWCM for the first time that id noticed in the 7 months. Today ive started with sore boobs, mainly near my nipples and ive got crampy pains in my tummy, so either hoping for a BFP or an AF in the next few days.

Hope everyone is well, and im glad this forum is here, and looking forward to sharing our stories and supporting each other.

I have a girlfriend who's AF's got messed up similar to what you have described from the Depo. She was prescribed Clomid, and boom...four months later, she was pregnant with twins!!! She now has three kids. She already had her son, now she has newborns...a girl and a boy!!! I would ask your DR about Clomid if you are not already preggers!!!

Hi everyone

Only just started TTC #2 but I had a lap and dye back in 2005 and the results weren't great - one tube is completely blocked (after serious illness and major surgery) and the other one is partially blocked, surrounded by scar tissue (as is the ovary) and generally screwed up - we were preparing ourselves for IVF but clearly it wasn't quite as screwed up as we thought and I got pregnant with Sam. So fingers crossed we'll get lucky again this time around. So glad to have this section and I hope you don't mind me joining you in here. Good luck to everyone x

 

[JASMAK]

Good luck Sam!!!

Of course we don't mind! Good luck Sam's Mum!

Hey ladies, thanks for sharing your stories, not many of us in here yet, thats good and bad Diva, i noticed a while back in your journal that you live in the US and I know you had a tornado a while back, what state are you in? Just curious.

It is hard to know where you fit cause I havn't hit the 1 year mark or anything but it is still hard emotionally/mentally!!!

 

[FEDup1981]

Thank you Over 2 years for Sam. I'm feeling a bit more positive about it this time though (not sure how long that'll last but just trying to remember that it's possible). Good luck to you too x

 

[diva4180]

JJF - in Pennsylvania! Of all places to have a tornado! It was the only tornado that was spawned from TS Hanna when it came up the coast! The meteorologist that came to study the damage confirmed it was a tornado, and said it's rare for them to hit that far inland!

 

[diva4180]

Half a block from my house!!! I'm sorry, way off topic but still I can't get over it.

 

[FEDup1981]

I thought this 2nd infertility section would be more busier than this...hope people know its here...
