i can't believe all the people worried about TTC

Miss.Modular · January 2010

that got pregnant within 2 seconds of trying. it took me way, way longer, and even i am *Not* worried about #2 lol.

kelbrian · January 2010

I'm not even thinking of a second baby, much less how long it will take to conceive it.

Which is why it's self admittedly irrational Wink

carolinag · January 2010

secondary infertility is pretty common and a legitimate concern.

that's awesome that you're not worried, but i can totally see why others would be.

i think when it happens so fast, you feel like you must have lucked out and there is no possible way it will happen that easy again. that is how i felt, especially when i didn't get AF....however, my worrying was in vain. i understand the fear though.

emiliemadison:

Yep. Sure, this is true.

I still don't totally understand it, though. At least the "for no reason" part. If you are at a healthy age (whatever that means) and never had issues, I have a hard time understanding it. Then again, it took us quite awhile to conceive my DS. Over a year. So, that "I got pregnant right away!" and "now, I am freaked about secondary infertility for NO REASON" seems odd. Very odd.

I wouldn't say I was ever worried (it only took us 6 months of trying with Lilly), but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would get ku on the pill!

while i know it can happen, i don't see how it would be nearly as nerve wracking the 2nd time around when you know a) your ovaries work and b) the sperm works. If you had a baby , then clearly your chances are probably PRETTY good you can do it again.

Okay, this makes sense.

But, again...it came easy the 1st time. You shouldn't have anything to worry about, so why worry?

it happened with DS when we were half assed TTC, and happened the first time I O'd while DH was home from the rig. SO I felt we got lucky, and that the 2nd time would be harder----WELL the first month I got PG. I was BFing and had my first AF at 6 mo pp, but my cycles were nutsy....i worried for no reason.

hmm, this is a good point.

tell that to my mom. though admittedly she had issues before having me. so this isn't the case of getting pg right away.

however i have two friends who got pg right away, and had huge troubles w/#2. my one poor friend have several miscarriages after having her first child. it was 6 years of trying before she had another successful pregnancy. i just that coupled w/my mom freaks me out.

I will never understand those who chart before they TTC #1. I'm not talking about those who are AMA or using NFP or whatever - just the average Joe.

Just f*^$# your husbands for a little bit and see what happens! It seems like all of this stuff takes the fun out of making a baby. Why do all of that right out of the gate?

*Again, I am not talking about those who have T-TTC*

JulyFiveBride · January 2010

My mom got pregnant twice on the pill and then it took her six years of TTC and a mess of IF treatments to get pregnant with my younger sister. Infertility is a strange beast.

kds24 · January 2010

I didn't really think much of it until people I knew started having problems TTC#2 when they had no problem the first time. One was sad, two was still sad, the third person in the past year started to make me go "hmm, should I be worried?". And thus, the worry begins!

Yes!

Even though we had troubles TTC, I wish more women would just have fun. I didn't start charting until we were 8-9 months in to the entire process.

This next time around, even with the troubles, we will still have a few fun months to just wait and see. Oh, and I am charting to avoid right now, which means I will give that up when we start TTC. I can't wait actually. LOL

You hear stories, you have friends...I wanted at least two years between kids, but was concerned because of my age, so I didn't do anything about BC. Lo and behold, my kids are 18 mos. apart. But my friend just had a beautiful little boy (her second) and it took them an entire year. I know a lot of people try much longer, but she was sure it would be a piece of cake because they conceived their first on the first try.

tiniestjohnson · January 2010

for me, it was ABSOLUTELY the "i could never get so lucky as to get pregnant right away again" kind of thing...coupled with the fact that I had no period activity for months after weaning, even after i took provera to get it started again.

Toosdai · January 2010

Another thing - I think being here on these types of boards probably adds a little bit of fuel to the fire, too.

Echowysp · January 2010

Well, my friend who got pregnant in one cycle was unable to have another child after that. It happens.

_MerBear_ · January 2010

I got pregnant immediately my first cycle off BCP with my daughter, but now I am trying for #2 and I'm on month 7 with no luck. I thought it was going to be quick and easy the second time around, but I was wrong. I'm not really worrying yet, but I'm starting to think I should be. I don't know if it has any significance, but I had Mirena put in after my daughter.

smacb · January 2010

Secondary infertility is a huge problem for several people I know, including some i'm related to. I had a m/c before my DS and wasn't too worried about TTC #2. I've lost 3 pregnancies in the last year (2 m/c and an ectopic). We're now seriously considering adoption. A second baby might not be something I'm capable of.
