Secondary infertility

[2021lady]

Hi all
Anyone else in the same boat I'd like some support and someone to speak to really
I'm ttc number 2, we have been for quite some time now and each month I'm getting less and less hopeful
It took me 8 months with number 1 and we are currently only cycle 15 for number 2. Getting more and more disheartened each mobth

Hey! I hope you are ok. I'm in the same boat! Currently on cycle 22 ttc number 2. I conceived ds on our first month without really trying so this has been a shock for us. All basic fertility tests have come back normal, I had 3 cycles on Clomid which wasn't successful and I'm now on my first cycle of letrozole.
I'm definitely not hopeful and started to feel numb about it all!
Have you had any tests done to see if there may be a reason it is taking so long?

Hi, I'm in a similar boat, ttc #2, first child 5, 10 months trying so far and no luck, been to GP and progesterone low but wasn't sure if did the blood test at the wrong time as irregular cycles, so will repeat next month. Have you guys had any luck with cb advanced ovulation kits? I've been doing cheap one step ones but now think I want to pull out the big guns haha. Do either of you monitor BBT? Maybe I should do that too?

I've had tests etc everything came back normal
Hormone levels are great I am ovulating
I did only stop breastfeeding in January so I don't know if this is a factor for the delay but who knows
Everyone around me is either pregnant or doesn't want anymore kids so I feel so isolated
I don't know it just isn't happening :(

Hey, can I join you ladies? We've not been trying for so long, although it feels like forever, currently cycle 11. I'm really struggling with not understanding why it Isn't happening so easy this time. We got lucky with DD3, I guess.
One of the things I've struggled with is that we really wanted a fairly small age gap. I get sad when I think this has already passed and I feel bad longing over something when I already have one lovely girl.

I feel the exact same. I originally wanted leas than 2 year gap but my daughter is already 2 now and no pregnancy let alone another baby

This is the things that really gets to me, DS is 4 now so if we get pregnant now he'll be 5 when they are here which feels like a huge age gap when I only wanted 2/3 years. Nobody seems to understand why I'm so bothered about this but it really upsets me. My only relief is that he has cousins that are a lot older (7,5 and 3 year age gap) than him and he has a great relationship with them, and they really look after him so I can see that it will be fine either way. I just try and look at the positives and not dwell on what I really wanted and what should have been (even though it's so so unfair!)
We used clear blue OPKs for a year but our consultant told us to stop using them, we know we ovulate the same time every cycle so as long as we dtd every 2 to 3 days, we are in with the exact same chance of using OPKs anyway. It lifted a lot of stress dropping them!

Hope you're all ok this week xxx

Hello Ladies,

can I join you? We have a DS who is 3.5, we’ve been trying for #2 since he turned 2. I finally got pregnant after 13 months in January only to find at a private scan at what should’ve been 9 weeks in February that I’d had a missed miscarriage. Queue some limbo, waiting to see if my body caught up but I then had to have surgical management in March. AF finally turned up 4 weeks later and we’ve been trying ever since to no avail. It’s been really tough and I’m wondering whether it will ever happen for us again and then I can’t even think about all the anxiety of it does and trying to navigate a pregnancy after our loss. It sounds mad even writing that-like it I’ve kinda detached from the reality of that if it makes sense? I guess what doesn’t help is I was also diagnosed as hypothyroid last year and I wonder how much of an affect that has and had on my pregnancy. Just to say I know where you’re at, it’s truly shit and I hope that we all get some good news sooner rather than later- but it’s so hard to keep waiting and hoping for that day! Especially when it seems everybody else is falling pregnant with ease at the moment!
