TTC #2 for over a year...what now?

[LR123]

Hello

This is my first post. As the title suggests, I have been TTC my second for over a year now and do not know what to do. My first took around 2 years to conceive, I was not ovulating and had very long cycles. After many appointments with a fertility consultant, I had a HSG and then put on 100mg Clomid.

The month I conceived my first, (4th Clomid cycle) I was told that I had not ovulated that particular month during a routine scan. So I can only assume that I had miraculously ovulated later and fallen pregnant.

I decided after having my first that I would want at the very least one more but I wasn't going to stress over it, nor go through all the tests and procedures I had done previously. Fast forward 2 years and I am now at a loss as to what to do. I know I'm very lucky to have one but I do not want my child to be an only child. I'm from a large family myself and always dreamt of having a large family myself but know I have to be realistic.

If I go to my Dr is he/she likely to dismiss me as I already have the one or would I still be referred? Also I have never tried charting etc and have only really used ovulation calculators to determine when to actively try as my cycles have for the most part been regular (35 days). I realise though this does not really indicate if I am actually ovulating or not but guess I'm rather hoping I am, as the first time round my cycles were very irregular and long.

I hope this makes sense. I would be grateful for any advice anyone can offer....

Thanks

Hi. I post a lot but this us my first post in LTTTC which seems like a massive step. I have also been TTC #2 for over a year now. It's a strange feeling as I am desperate for another but also I know I am completely lucky to have DS1. Ds1 took about 9 months to conceive with 1 loss so just assumed it would be similar again.

I completely share your fears about being dismissed by a doc. OH and I have decided that we are going to give it one more cycle then book in because we need to get the ball rolling in some way....even if the doc turns round and says to give it 6more months.

Deep down I am scared that my EMCS has done something to affect me being able to conceive but I might just be being irrational.

Sorry I'm not really offering too much advice. But I do know exactly how you feel if that's any help!
