Seeing as there are no recent threads, I thought I'd start one.
A bit about me:
I have two DC which were tricky to conceive but, luckily, got there in the end with no major medical involvement. Just an HSG test and a few scans.
Fast forward to two years ago and, after meeting a new partner, we fell pregnant by surprise - astonishing given my difficulties previously.
We sadly lost our precious little 9 weeker in what turned out to be a shit show of a year for us as a family (mumps, shingles, holiday cancellations, gig cancellations, moving house struggles ad infinitum...)
Only a couple of months later we amazingly fell pregnant with our second baby (together, I obviously still have two older DC from previous marriage). After two weeks of just knowing I was pregnant I did a test and was overjoyed to see those two pink lines.
Only five hours later I began bleeding.
Just another test for our shit year.
The past two years have been hell due to DP not wanting to try again. I went into very deep depression which I was trying to just accept and get used to. Until my birthday in June this year when DP surprised me to say he wanted to TTC again.
I'm a new woman. I am myself again and feel like I am on cloud nine, with the odd bit of apprehension around DP changing his mind again and sending me into the depths of hell once again.
But I am taking every day as it comes and keeping hope and faith that it will all be okay. I cannot go back to that hell again.
Since I have got older my cycles have regulated which will, hopefully, mean that I am ovulating regularly. When I was TTC the DC 9/13 years ago) I barely had any periods whatsoever. The fact that we conceived our nine weeker and our second little bean so easily gives me hope that it won't take as long as before. Though the mumps we both suffered concerns me as that can effect fertility in men... We got mumps after our second loss so we don't know if fertility has been sabotaged. I am trying to remain positive that it hasn't.
This is now our second cycle of TTC. I am on CD6 and doing fertility yoga at home along with taking food grown supplements and baby aspirin. I'm considering acupuncture too.
Over to you.....
