Still struggling to conceive no. 2 after getting pregnant easily first time round

So, on the back of a run of rather fantastic success stories, it's time to start another thread for those of us still driving ourselves a bit nuts trying to work out why number 2 seems to be so elusive. New frustrated, obsessive testers always welcome (as are our lovely graduates) and let's hope this thread turns out as many success stories as the last.

Gosh, let us know how you get on with that, Poot... it's amazing how little the NHS can (will?) do to help people to conceive.

Marking my place to keep an eye out for more good news from those still trying... it WILL be your turn soon! Xxx b

Mine's on them too- has been for a while. I'm wondering if it's with him getting a re-test to see if it's made any difference. Actually, I'm now definitely planning to get a private consultation done for me - a woman I work with is now about 20 weeks pregnant age 43 7 years since her first child and 7 miscarriages later. She went to zita West clinic in London, they found a simple blood clotting problem cured by taking heparin and bingo, successful pregnancy. I know my issue is different but I still refuse to believe there's nothing that can be done to help. Will phone next week.

Hello! Marking my place so I can lurk and watch more bfps roll in!

Burning, my dh had also been on the conception tablets for the 3 months previous to our bfp - could very well be something in that as he also had the iffy morphology

Thanks for the new thread Little.

I have to say I'm really touched by everyone's reactions, what a lovely bunch you are Smile

Have been awake since 6, uncomfortable and still gobsmacked... But I did remember in my early morning ruminating that the other thing we did was DH taking conception vitamins and eating nuts and tomatoes like there's no tomorrow. Must have done something as you may recall he had a not great semen analysis.
