For those of you who don't know me, here's a bit of history:
I have a 7 month old daughter who is my life! I am on maternity leave until December, if I get pregnant before that I will be able to go straight onto pregnancy leave without returning to work (that is the dream).
Our ttc journey was really long (almost like this post ). We conceived DD on our 19th cycle. (And had a mc on the 8th cycle). I went through a lot of tests and all came back perfect (The infertility specialist called me super fertile). Dh had low motility and low sperm count. He took supplements for it and we conceived DD two months after he started those.
We decided to start ttc for #2 in August (so that I am not pregnant in summer, and so that I can maximise my pregnancy and maternity leave). Dh will start his supplements again in July.
This week dh sprang it on me that he wants to start trying right now. Im hesitant for completely selfish reasons (I want to enjoy DD for a while longer without feeling crappy as I did during pregnancy, I want to lose a few more kg's, I want to drink a few drinks on summer holiday at the beach in July, etc).
But.... what if it takes 19 cycles again? Then i don't want to waste any time! I think I am about 2 to 3 days from ovulation... Need opinions... should I go for it or not?
Personally it would be too soon for me but that’s only because I couldn’t handle having my kids close in age. I have pcos and hubby had low sperm count and low motility and it took us 22 months to conceive DD1. After nearly 2 years I said hey let’s get started on number 2 since it took us forever last time with all our issues. Literally bam I got pregnant straight away first cycle! Don’t know what it was that did because I wasn’t taking any supplements or doing any tracking besides opk’s. It’s different for everyone but in my experience the second happened super fast I was in shock lol. We are currently on cycle 3 of ttc baby no. 3
