Feeling deflated after cycle 5 trying for baby number two

We’re officially out of the latest attempt for baby # 2. Had some really cruel EVAP lines on the easy @ home tests which was insult to injury, I guess my own fault for testing but I can’t help it!!

Onto cycle 5 of trying, I know it’s relatively early still but feeling super deflated and just looking for solidarity really and a pick me up! Nobody knows we are trying and it’s hard to turn to friends or family who all got pregnant on their first goes! It took us 9 months for our son so I know it can happen, even if the road is longer than we’d like, but I’m just wondering how on earth we will get through!!

any wise words appreciated xx

I know it’s hard and I completely understand why you’re feeling this way, but try to remember how blessed you are to have a loving, committed partner who wants the same thing and is on this journey with you.

Being able to conceive, carry a pregnancy and have a healthy child is something so many women sadly don’t get the chance to experience, so you really do have so much to be grateful for.

You already have your beautiful boy and now it’s just a matter of time for baby #2. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself and let things happen in their own time. I truly believe it will happen for you soon! ❤️

Sorry no wise words, but in the same boat on cycle #7 TTC number 2.

So much more challenging to schedule everything when you already have one, it's so tiring!
