Hi
I’m not sure why I’m writing this but I’m feeling pretty low at the moment so thought it might help to write it down and see if anyone else is in a similar situation.
So I had my first child in October 2015 and conceived straight away with no idea about ovulation dates or anything, I just assumed it would be easy second time around (boy was I wrong!)
We wanted to wait until our daughter would be closer to 2 before we started trying for baby no2 so I started taking pregnacare conception tablets in February and we started trying in March. I plotted my ovulation dates (I have a VERY regular cycle) and we TTC from the last day of my period every other day until 2 day’s after inoculated.
I conceived in June which felt like a long wait after being so lucky the first time!
Unfortunately I started to miscarry at 6.5wks and opted for a natural miscarriage which didn’t finish until 13wks (7 weeks of being an emotional wreck and hating anyone I saw who was pregnant or had a baby!)
We were advised to wait until I’d had a period after the miscarriage so we started trying again last month (we TTC everyday this time to increase our chances). My period was late (which never happens!) so we started getting really excited! I took a test a day after AF was due but it was negative. Then 2 days later I got my period. I was absolutely devastated and have been so miserable since.
We’re starting again tonight as my period has just finished but I’m feeling so desperate for a baby I feel like we’re putting so much pressure on ourselves to conceive that it’s not even fun trying :(
Anyone else in a similar situation? What makes it worse is I’ve started having stomach pains on one side, I’m nauseous, shattered (having to sleep during the day which I never normally do) and I’m off certain foods that I normally love. I think I’m so desperate to be pregnant that my body now thinks I am! :(
