good luck, OP - it can happen! our DD2 (due early December) conceived by donor insemination (so not straightforward) 3rd go, mum was 41 and a half. DD1 born 2009 after an earlier mmc. Don't lose hope! We were convinced that it wouldn't work out this time...we were wrong :)

verycherry, it was pretty pants yes. What made it worse is with the GD I had to be on insulin so inject myself 4 times a day and I've been warned that it may start as early as 12 weeks this time - nice! Not... I wouldn't mind but my BMI pre-pregnancy last time was only 19!!

Pressure is the worst thing when you're TTC. We got PG the first month then had the MC but then were PG again 6 weeks after, but in a sense, that's why we have to wait. We are under no illusions that it will be as easy 2nd time around, BUT if it is we are screwed in terms of money, so we HAVE to wait just in case.

And I hate it!!

Good luck though verycherry, I'll be watching this thread with interest!!

So are you TTC Prisoner Wink?

PrisonerZero · 21/07/2011 14:09

I am very broody and my DS is only 5 weeks old Shock

I wish all of you the very best of luck Smile

verycherry82 · 21/07/2011 14:07

Can I join as well?!

I am officially broody for the first time in my life!

I have 1 DS who is 6 months old and I am so desperate for another one. We started trying a couple of weeks ago and I came on yesterday and even though I knew it was super unlikely that I would be pg, I was still so disappointed.

I am trying not to put myself under too much pressure and get too caught up in the fact we are now TTC. DP prefers to say that we're just not being careful and seeing what happens which is good in theory but I am already impatient!!

Wishing everybody else lots of luck as well!!

Horridcold, it sounds like you had an absolutely awful time! Easter isn't that far away and hopefully the time will pass quickly.

HorridCold · 21/07/2011 13:19

Oh girls can I join you?!!

I am desperate for DC2 but only managed to persuade DH in the last couple of weeks, after 2 years - believe me the labour and birth was that traumatic...

The PG was no picnic either, first an early MC, 6 weeks later PG again. 12 weeks got high Downs risk. Had a CVS at 14 weeks which failed followed by an amnio at 18 weeks given the all clear and confirmed that we were having a girl. Then at 28 weeks, diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. Hence being induced early, in labour for 4 days, an epidural that only numbed half my body finished with an Episiotomy and Ventouse which damaged my DD's eye so badly that her eye doesn't open and DD had to be resuscitated (sp).

And I am desperate for another one!!! I must be mad...

Anyway, can't really afford to pay for childcare for 2 children as we both work full-time, so have to wait really until Easter next year where the Government funding will cut in to help out with DD1's childcare but I DON'T WANT TO WAIT!!

Anyone else having to wait?

We're about to start trying again after a mc 3 weeks ago. Just waiting for AF to return... We have 2 DDs, 3.10 and 18 months. Really terrified in case I mc again, and just hoping to get BFP first month of trying!!! I'm 38 and the mc has made me really hear the clock ticking. I just want one more, just one, please! Joining you in the begging MrsNesbit.

FullTimeStudentNurseAndMumOf3 · 19/07/2011 20:56

Me too!!! I have 3 and have finally convinced DH to try for another. We are waiting a while just yet as youngest is only 17 months and cherishing time with him. Fingers crossed for you two Grin
