Trouble TTC a Sibling

Intro

Good Morning Ladies -

I'm not technically at a year of trying until next month, but thought this might be a good outlet for me in the meantime.  This journey has been so difficult, which i'm sure everyone can attest to.  My DH and I have a 3 1/2 year old DD, who is the light of our lives, and who was conceived on month 2 of trying without any help.  I think that's why trying for #2 has been mentally difficult for me, as nothing seems to be working this time around, and I can't make sense of it.  I'm 33 and my DH is 34.  I'm going to call this week to make an appt with my OB for next month just so I know I've made that step, but I'm scared and nervous and I know that's only going to make our last month of trying without help even more difficult.

Anyway, thanks for listening! 

Re: Intro

  • Thanks - I did read that book when we were TTC DD, and it was very helpful.  This time around we temped, used OPKs, and all that jazz for the first 9 months, beyond that I thought it might help to let all of that go and just have sex EOD for 10 days around when I ovulate (CD 19-21 consistently).  That didn't work either :(
  • Hi welcome! I understand your frustration as we were the same way with DD. It's crazy how much our bodies can change in a few short years on the inside and we don't even know it. I agree with Lemonblossom about the RE...I know it makes it more "real" but I have found more comfort in knowing that there was a problem rather than the rollercoaster of not knowing why I wasn't getting pregnant.

    Anyway, I wish you luck and hope your stay here is short!

    Best of luck to you! I hope your stay here is short and sweet!
  • Welcome to the board and best of luck to you. I agree with the other in regards to getting in to see an RE at the year mark. Hope your stay here is short!
