Potty training regression?

in Success after IF

DS was doing SO good with potty training.  I would say that I considered him "trained" for the past month and a half.  We had a few issues here and there with pooping but he was peeing perfectly and would even wake up without any accidents. 

This week, he has completely regressed.  It started with not pooping on the potty and now he is back to peeing in his underwear.  There have not been any significant changes in our lives and I have read that regression is common.

I am wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and if so, what worked to help?  I feel like I am trying everything and nothing is working.  I don't want to make him sad but I also don't know what to do.  Please help!!

It took over four years to be diagnosed with PCOS. We TTC #1 for 18 months, did 5 rounds of Clomid and finally moved onto IVF...which worked! Throughout our IF journey, we suffered 3 miscarriages. We conceived both DD and DS without treatment.

    Yes, we were pee trained 100% for SEVEN MONTHS and pooped on the potty probably 2 dozen times (but she refused to be consistant with this) and then our 2nd daughter was born and our 3y2m old is back in diapers full time and won't even potty at school (where there's positive peer pressure).

    We're just not even acknowledging it and just doing diapers. We will readdress in a few months. I don't have it in me to fight this fight and - in the end, they will win. This is the ONLY thing they have control over and if you engage in a power struggle with them, you WILL lose.

    Good luck!

    DS did a similar thing a few months after PTing.  Focus on cleaning up, and trying harder to listen to his body next time.  Maybe even try a schedule for a little while to help him get back on track (potty visits upon waking, before sleep, before going out and when you return, etc).  I wouldn't focus on it being bad or sad, just a process that requires practice.

    Thank you so much for your thoughts.  I am trying to make it positive and I don't want to upset him or turn it into something negative.  I will say that potty training is hands down one of the hardest things as a parent (well at least up until now).

    For the most part, I have been trying to be really laid back about it...Reed was potty trained a few months ago but recently started peeing a little in his underwear sometimes before he makes it to the potty.  He leaves it until the last minute to go.

    The only time I make a bigger issue about it is when I ask him to go pee before we leave the house and he says he doesn't have to go, and then we have to come home like 3 minutes later so he can pee.

    Knock on wood, it has been a few days that we are accident free again!  Reed will be 3 in July.
