Sibling round

Hi there,

Used to be part of a different thread for sibling round, but thought I'd start a new thread to see if there was anyone else considering a sibling round this year?

@strawberrylaces12 I think the second time around you're just much more aware that nothing is a given, and just more aware that you've already got a child that things impact on them too. I think thats all it really is that makes it feel 'bigger' trying for a sibling. I had massive mum-guilt for the first couple of weeks after birth the second time that I'd rocked by firsts world, even though she adapted so well. Its just a different journey, and many/most things are easier I'd say the second time around.

Well we've begun to begin... the fertility supplements have been purchased and the blender is out!

We were in touch with the clinic earlier this year so we know there's not much admin to be done, but I want to bank 3 months of supplements before we make our first attempt. So here we are. I'm eyeing up December as our absolute earliest attempt cycle with hopeful joy.
