Trouble TTC #1 and now TTC #2

It took over 2 years to conceive DD. I have several issues that make it difficult and DH's boys have their problems as well. I had hoped we'd be one of those miracle couples that has IF solved after having #1. We've been trying for about 6 months now with no luck yet. I know my body and the same problems that were present before are here now. AF started today and I just can't help but feel the sadness that I felt before. I feel so blessed to have DD. She is a miracle and I have hope that I will get PG again one day, but I just doubt that I'll ever get PG without medical intervention.
This doesn't belong on the TTTC board since we've ONLY been trying for 6 months and I already have one DD. I think it might be insensitive to post over there. I just wondered if anyone over here is in the same boat. How are you dealing with it? Are you going to the RE straight away or will you try on your own for a while?

Re: Trouble TTC #1 and now TTC #2
yes, i agree - be very careful with the TTTC board...I was there for awhile (took me years to conceive ds) and it is great for those who are having problems but it can be perceived as a smack in the face to them despite your problem being very real and upsetting for you. But you, having gone through this before have every right to be concerned. If you?ve been trying for 6 months I would go ahead and at least talk to your RE. Having a history of IF is cause for concern. But keep your hopes up ? your body figured it out once, I?m sure it?ll do it again. That?s what I tell myself! J

My Dh and I are in the same boat, floor and room with you
It took us 5 years TTC with my first. We were one day away from trying IVF when I found out I was pregnant. My DD will be a year in June and I would love to be pregnant again, so there close in age. I feel blessed as well to have my DD, but everytime AF comes I get that sad feeling all over again.
We're just going to try the old fashion way for a while before we prusue an RE. I just don't want to on that emotional roller coaster again plus the time and money that it involves is overwhelming.. I just keep on praying miracles can happen again to us.
Good luck to your family.
There is a SECONDARY infertility board. Right spot for you. DON"T wait. If you had TTTC #1 more often then not you'll have TTTC #2. So you are in a special category!
Call the RE right away. Your TTTC doesn't disappear if you happen to get pg.
The 1 year rule is only for those w/o confirmed TTTC.
CALL!!!
I had TTC #1 and I just saw my OBGYN/RE for my yearly checkup. She said that I should come in and see her once we've been unsuccessful trying for #2 for 6 months. Since she is the same dr that diagnosed my infertility before she will prescribe Clomid at the 6 month mark. (My diagnosis was unexplained annovulation.)
GL. We haven't started trying yet but I'm not looking forward to going through that again.
Definitely pop on over to the Secondary IF board......or you can also try SAIF (Success After Infertility....), we are a great bunch of girls over there and many of us are PG with #2 or are TTC #2......
GL!
Thanks, I'll definitely check out the Secondary Infertility board. I might stay in denial for a couple more months though. I know when I go to my RE he's going to put me back on Metformin. It was the devil drug for me before and I don't look forward to that again. This way also I'll know I tried the "relax" method and it STILL doesn't work. LOL
