Thinking I wouldn’t mind as much. Thinking it’s ok I have my lovely beautiful sweet first baby. Wrong, each cycle, each negative stings so bad just as bad at the first long long time. No question just feeling deflated and that having a second would be different 😢 please share your experiences and any tips I suppose?

It's because you know for sure how great it can be now. I hope you get your bfp soon. With hindsight, the thing I would tell myself is that each month I'm not pregnant is a month I can be fully present for my first born. Morning sickness and exhaustion did an absolute number on me second time around and I have enjoyed the time with my second born so much more thanks to not being pregnant. I feel bad I "missed" that time with my firstborn.

Enjoy life as it is would be my advice instead of grabbing towards a life that isn't here yet. Enjoy today. You don't know what tomorrow will bring

I conceived my firstborn my second cycle after stopped the pill. It was so easy.
So when I'd been trying a year for my second you best believe it was heart breaking. Ive had a miscarriage and at least one chemical pregnancy and now, five years since starting to try for our second I'm 6 weeks pregnant and slightly terrified.
My advice is don't put life on hold for it. For the first 2 years of trying I didn't plan anything, no holidays, no nights out, nothing because what if I was pregnant. I was putting my life on hold for a baby I didn't have and I felt terrible.

Thank you, my life isn’t on hold I’m so happy 30/31 days a month my sweet first born is everything and more and we love our life, it’s just last night was that one day a month when it I let it bother me 😢 but yes I know my life is deffo not on hold I’m so happy
