Firstly, I am also posting a slightly different version of this in one-child families.
Secondly, I hope this is the right place to be posting this - the last thing I want is to be insensitive in any way. If it's not, I will get it moved promptly!
I have PCOS, ttc #1 for 2.7yrs when I finally got clomid through an enormously long drawn out referral through GP. I became enormously obsessed with falling pregnant and then became depressed during this time which then translated into pre-natal depression/anxiety and PND which was something I did not see coming at all, having wanted a baby so badly.
I withdrew and felt numb by the time it actually happened and early pregnancy experienced threatened miscarriage and some other issues. I became obsessed with checking on the baby and went for countless private scans between the usual hospital ones and was convinced I'd have a stillborn but at the same time was completely disconnected from reality and felt like I was in a bubble.
Basically It was not a nice place to be but we are through it all now and are much much happier.
We now have a child and would both like another,
I am very worried about experiencing the same thing again - has anyone been prescribed clomid for ttc #2 or any further children? I'm worried I won't get any as it won't be my first and also that the process might be just as long/longer if it's for a second.
