TTC for over two years... anyone else in the same boat?

[sophied1983]

My period arrived yesterday. Been feeling so tearful today.

Came off the pill two years ago in August. Had a m/c March last year and a CP January this year.

It's really getting me down. Doctor told me to persevere and that there's not much they can do (as we can get pregnant).

Get to the stage of thinking is it really worth all the heartache. Desperately want a sibling for my 4y/o.

Similar situation myself. We got pregnant last year and I m/c in Dec. Then it just seemed like one thing after another with bad timing we stopped and started trying a few times. Then covid hit. Now its been 2 years since we started.

Desperate for another child. Especially for my LO currently an older toddler. If it doesn't happen thats something I will have to accept. It's hard when you want something so much.

Getting sick of the constant questioning when I will have another baby.

No advice really, just to say you are not alone and hold on. Be wary of people saying you are lucky to have one child. Yes we are and we know we are and we love that child more than anything in the entire world. Just because your sad about not having another doesn't mean you are not wholly truly unbelievably grateful for the first. Ever since I give my LO a million cuddles a day.

Sending you baby dust this will happen soon for you ❤ x

Sorry to hear about your m/c...

She keeps saying things like "I'm going to be a big sister one day" and it breaks my heart. She'd be such a brilliant one.

Doesn't help that everyone I know seems to be pregnant at the mo!

It's tough because you realise what you've missed out on. To think you could have had another funny, bright human like them by now.

So emotional today, some months it seems to hit harder than others. Didn't help that the last cycle was 43 days (after them being 27-32 days all year). Those 'extra' days are horrendous.

Thats the most heartbreaking part. As you look at your child and think you would make the most amazing older sister/brother.

I want my little one to have someone to share her childhood with. A child to share their childhood with her.

It's so hard. Some days are harder. I'm truly sorry. I hope it happens soon for you. I really do xx

Also - I had the same thing last month. I was 5 days late on my period and the pregnancy symptoms were mad. All the symtoms I had with my 2 other pregnancies (even though one ended with a m/c). Every test was coming up a faint watermark line or not pregnant. Then I got my period.

It sucks xxxx
