I've noticed a lot of us TTC number 2 and struggling after getting pregnant fairly easily with number 1!
Thought I'd start a thread so we can all support each other 💕💕

Thanks both for joining! It's so hard isn't it, we went into it so naively cos of how easy it was first time round
We started trying in December and since I've had 2 early miscarriages, it's been hard, the Dr's have been very dismissive as I have a DS my body can clearly do it, is all they keep saying, its been heartbreaking

I'm just praying this cycle is our time 🤞🤞

We haven't changed much, my husband started taking multivitamins too, and we've done some couples yoga just to try keep us chill, I just want to be 8 weeks pregnant and with a heartbeat so I can actually relax a bit, I just feel so nervous then disappointed each cycle!

Have you both changed anything?

Thank you for starting this thread @Eatsleepbakerepeat , I’m in the same boat here! I was pregnant with my first on cycle two and only now realise just how lucky I was. I fell pregnant this Jan (also cycle 2) but it ended in an early MMC. It’s hard to not be consumed by it all so this month I’m doing some silly fitness challenges so I can hopefully see some positive results in another area of my life! Have you changed your approach to TTC now that it’s taking longer than you’d like? Sending everyone luck for their next cycle ❤️

Hi! Yep, unfortunately this is the case for me. Pregnant cycle 1 with #1 and now on cycle 7 trying for #2!
