So I'm feeling torn. Last month I had a chemical pregnancy and miscarried at 5 weeks. It was really sad but I started to feel ok and we decided to start trying again this month. However I then got seriously ill last week, ended up in hospital for a day on a drip, I had severe abdominal pain and vomiting for about 12 hours. This is not the first time this has randomly (it seems) happened so they're doing some tests. Ultrasounds all clear but they're also going to look in my stomach with a camera at some point (I've been referred). The pain has gone now but I'm a bit tender, and I'm on antibiotics for a possible infection.
It's CD 16 now and we did DTD on Saturday, CD 14 as I was feeling ok and had some EWCM. I don't think I've ovulated yet as my temperature hasn't risen. So we should DTD today if we want to keep trying.
But I am torn. I don't feel that well, and I've been very run down for a few months now. DS1 is nearly 17mo and is still breastfeeding which I love. He wakes for feeds or cuddles in the night - which I know is normal but means I've had broken sleep for over a year now. I guess this is just being a parent 😴 We are night weaning ATM and it's actually going well, he's sleeping longer stretches. So I feel more rest is around the corner! Anyway, I just don't know whether to wait a month in the hope I feel more well next month, or keep trying this cycle. I feel like every month there is something - last month I had a bad cold, the month before there were nursery bugs etc, month before that I had this stomach thing again. I wonder if it's wishful thinking that in a month I'll magically be much more well in myself.
We eat well and in general I do feel ok, despite the recurring illness. Equally though, I feel impatient to be pregnant again and really want a sibling for DS 1.
Don't really know what the point of this post is. I'm a bit worried I'll miscarry again if we get pregnant this month and I'm not well.
I guess just wondering what people's thoughts are ... I'm early 30s so that's also on my mind in terms of waiting.
If you have any thoughts or similar experiences please let me know ... Would help to hear x
