Success after IF

Those of you who are/have tried for #2...

Tell me I am not the only one who suddenly has all those same IF feelings creeping back up?

 We go for our consult with the RE of Thursday, I am nervous, excited and scared all in one. We are lucky that DH's insurance covers a good chunk of the expenses, but since his plan recently changed it really will only give us one shot at #3. It just seems so final.

I know how lucky we are to have our twins but deep down I have this feeling of our family not being complete. And all those emotions of being disappointed if that makes sense.

  • I think someone posts something similar about once a week, so you are definitey not alone!!  I did ok at first, I just had a good feeling about it all..and sure enough, I got a BFP on our second medicated cycle...but that ended in a miscarriage...and I'm definitely struggling more now. (((HUGS))))

  • Yes I know exactly how you are feeling...I think that is totally normal.  Check out the secondary IF board as well for people going through the same thing as you right now. 

    Best of luck at the RE :)

  • I was really surprised by how strongly all of those feelings came rushing back when we decided to TTC#2. I really thought that it wouldn't effect me so much, since we already have been blessed by Matt.

    I was okay when my first IUI with injectables ended with a BFN, however, I was a mess when I got a BFN the second cycle on injectables. Due to personal and financial reasons I'm only doing one more IUI (I'm taking a break right now..I joined WW, and am working on getting myself in the best shape I can..I want to know that I gave it my all). 

    I'm trying to adopt the attitude that if it is meant to be, it will happen. I still struggle though. I really want Matt to have a sibling to grow up with. 

    Good luck to you!

    This! 2IF is where I have parked for the last year and it has helped SO much. Everyone there knows exactly how you're feeling. Good luck!

  • I thought it would be easier the 2nd time around since we had DD, but apparently not.  It looks like this cycle with IUI is a big fail, I have been a wreck for the past couple days.  I've actually taken it harder than I ever did before.  
  • We're gearing up to try for #2 and you hit the nail on the head. Excited and scared at the same time. I'm nervous about both getting a bfn and also a little scared to get a bfp and juggle pg with a toddler.

  • Yup. Have hit some road blocks during pre cycle testing, and the old IF feelings are back big time :(
