Anyone else extremely anxious about trying for #2?

Hi Ladies,

I've been lurking on this board and you ladies are great. We were lucky and conceived our DD on our 2nd IVF cycle.  My DH and I hope to be blessed with at least one or two more children. At our last visit with the RE we were told to not wait too long before going for #2. I often feel like each day we aren't starting a new cycle could be a day working against us. We are hoping to try for #2 after the new year and in the mean time saving up.

Does anyone else feel like me? Afraid of each day passing and wondering if it could be against you?

Tell me I'm not alone.

TIA!

    I am one who always has the next step planned ahead of time or else I would go crazy.  I had just called to schedule an appt. w/ the RE for # 2 but they were on holiday shutdown and we got the shock of our lives when we got our BFP.  Maybe if you were to schedule a consult you would feel better?  We are also oop so I know how hard it is.  Best of luck to you!

    i was told when i first went to the RE it was good that i was young! I started with my re at 25 years old! I got pregnant with my first cycle but i miscarried! IVF #2 resulted in twins! they told me if i wanted more kids that i should consider not waiting too long! I made my appt with the RE when the twins were only 9 weeks old, i got in within a week! They had me wait until the next month to start testing and I start the next cycle with 2 weeks! IVF # 3 resulted in Brady!

    We went back over the summer for consult for #4 but i had to put the plans on hold because I ended ill and needed surgery

    I am definitely anxious about it. In many ways I am not even ready to go there in my mind yet. I love being a mom so much that some days the IF nightmare seems like it was a lifetime ago and I know the second we are back in treatment, I am going to be a mess. It is such an emotional rollercoaster.

    It took us 5 yrs from when we started trying and 3 yrs /3.5 IVFs from our first consult until she was born, so I know we don't have a ton of time to waste. We will probably go back for a consult sometime next year...

    This is a constant struggle for us. On the one hand, I'm not ready to jump back into cycling, to losing my control over my body and what I put in it, to not being able to exercise, to the intense fear and anxiety I have when pregnant - and I really am not ready to take our undivided attention away from DS at this age, I always wanted at least 3 years between babeis - but on the other hand, I worry that each month we wait we're diminishing our chances of having a second. We literally change our mind about when to go back to the RE on a semi daily basis.
