TTC #2 is taking over my life

[missy123]

I have been ttc #2 for 5 years and 2 months now. I know exactly how you feel! All I can say is, the experts say that the bigger the difference between #1 and #2 the better off they are! Since you won't be in survival mode (2 kids in diapers, potty training, sleep training, ect...) you have more time to devote to proper speach, math, manners, ect... That's the sort of thing you find to make yourself feel better! Gl!

Im ttc #2 that long too...please god it doesn't last much longer x

I agree about this journey being a road of Ups and Downs (sometimes really down) and so far I have managed to stay pretty up with only one or two down days a month but lately it is just feeling like I'm fooling myself so I am having a harder time staying up. I feel better today somewhat and am looking forward to trying again using Soy for the 2nd cycle. We go on holidays on Friday to New Brunswick for a week to visit DH family and it is very relaxing there so I should be just about ready to O when we get back and hopefully the rest and relaxation will make a good strong eggie or two. I will enjoy myself with my family and do a lot with my DS. Thank you for you kind words.

Hi, new here but I'm in the same position

one son age 5.5 and been TTC number 2 for 10 months now.

It's taking over my life, I feel so in limbo and I'm not sure how much longer I can do it

hugs to those who have tried lots longer as you must be stronger than me.

Joining the club.

I know it shouldn't matter and it's hardly the most important thing, but I'm so depressed that our plans for a 2yr or 2.5yr age gap have not worked out. I've had two early MCs in the past 4 months and the ups and downs of thinking this it is, we've done it... and then a few weeks later finding out it's not meant to be... and then having to wait a cycle or two to recover, it's all been really hard. All I can focus on is time slipping away. It's not how it was meant to be.

At least now I know my issue is a short luteal phase and this is causing my miscarriages. Hoping to try and sort it out naturally (GP won't help or do blood tests unless I've had 3 or more MCs), but lengthening my LP will take time, all that means to me is a larger age gap. Conceiving my son was very easy, he wasn't even planned and we were using condoms... I never anticipated that I'd have any problems with TTC number 2.

Feel like I'm just about holding myself together, so scared to go through another MC.

I totally wanna join, Any BFP storie's so far???

IV been TTC 33 month's this cycle which is CD1. Totally gutting and even worst my next AF is due my b.day and the one after is due christmas day, I just wish that I could get my BFP before christmas. x x x

Hello mas1118 nice to see there are people iv already come across on hear. How's your TTC journey going? x x x

 

[Little_Ratbag]

After 2 years we finally got our BFP! We are due in may 2013.
First natural cycle after laparoscopy/endo removal!
Have you had any medical investigations Jessica?

 

[xXxJessicaxXx]

No not really, My doctor dont take me seriously and must think TTC number 2 is a joke, Had some blood work's done and doc said all is well, then Fiance had SA and they said mobility and count was a touch low but nothink to worry about, doc said I am in my prime time to conceive again as im only 21 but I am really more like 100% secondary infertility and no one give's 2 F's. Thx again and Congrat's hun on baby. Bet you cant wait. x x x

Hi Jessica recognise you from the halloween testing thread I saw your cd2 today I am cd1 so good luck this cycle. I am broken today this is so hard I can't find a positive at all right now

 

[xXxJessicaxXx]

Hello hun, You too, And sorry to see AF got you, What a bugger. I know what you mean hun. If I didn't have the clearblue monitor for 3 month's then I would have give up after last cycle. All I can say Is im hear for you's girlie's and know how you all feel. Just keep them chin's up and look on the bright side of thing's, We have our little one's and are very greatful for having them, THB they keep us going. Right. I know seeing them can make it hard because you think back to when they was born and tiny but what cant they do that make's us smile at them right. Just think soon we will all be able to tell our LO's that they have a lil bro or sis or the way. FX'd girlie's and GL. x x x

P.s Happy Birthday to your LO hun, I see on the banner. x x x

Hi ladies,

My DH and I have been trying properly for a year, and NTNP for a year prior to that. I have very irregular cycles and we had a MMC in April 2012.

My LO will be 6 in March - I HATE age gaps

Dh says we have time and age on our side, but I don't think we do. I told him that if we are not pregnant/ have a baby in the next 2 years then I don't want one at all.
Does that sound stupid?

I don't want to be starting again when my LO is 10! But the desire to be a mum again is incredibly strong. All I ever wanted was 3 kids.

I have only just found this board, I didn't even know it was called secondary infertility!
