Haven't even started TTC but already stressed!!!

[lizzielou76]

My first DD was a long time wanted and a long time waited for, very luckily we 'got' her first time IVF, 10 months after her birth I concieved DD naturally! 18 months after my last DD was born I want more!!!! Greedy? probably, a good mum? definitely! I am having my coil out in a week, but have so many questions, can I get pregnant? was DD the 1:1000000 that I was told my 'odds' were? am I still high risk ectopic? If I do get pregnant will I have to fight for an early scan? All these, and more, questions are stressing me out and I haven't even started trying yet. And the biggest question is will I 'ruin' my gorgeous family? Or possibly enhance it?

I know I am sooooo blessed to have my gorgeous girls.

Thanks for reading my rant, x

I would think that due to 2 successful pregnancies (one of which was naturally conceived) you would have excellent odds of conceiving again as clearly both you and your partners bits are working. I wouldn't pay too much attention to what doctors say your odds are. One of my friends was told she'd never have kids due to childhood leukemia but she's got 3 gorgeous boys now. Honestly, being told that on top of having leukemia when your a kid, nice work Dr Doommonger!!

All I would say is that my experience of having a (non Mirena) coil removed meant that my periods went from regular as clockwork 28 day cycles with it to random 27-36 day cycles after removal (no sign of settling down either 6months after removal) which makes conceiving more luck than judgement where I'm concerned (although CD28 today and no sign of AF yet so fingers crossed).

Also, although it's yuck, go and get it removed when you're on your period. I went mid cycle and I've got to say it was something of an eye wincer and the initial bleeding was quite spectacular. I know people on here have had different experiences with the coil but that's mine for what it's worth.

Good luck mate
