Success after IF

Can't believe I am saying this...

I want to be pregnant again; I actually miss it.

I do not know what happened, but it hit me like a ton of bricks today how much I would really like another child.  

Oh.... it was so much easier when I was not sure.... I hate the thought of getting back on the IF roller coaster...

Re: Can't believe I am saying this...

  • my 1st thought is "man, that girl must REALLY like plain noodles "  ;-)

    But I get that. I was thinking about getting pregnant again as I was sobbing about learning about loosing this last one. There's just this force in me that says "you are a mom. Act like it."   PLus, you make an adorable baby, shame to not duplicate that cuteness ;-)

    I sure hope you get to do it again, if it is what you want : )

  • I have a cousin who suffered from HG with her first, and was in the hospital for weeks at a time for rehydration, had a picc line ect. She was a sick one! She just delivered her second, and did not throw up. once. the entire pregnancy.

    I thought of you when she delivered this week!

  • It hit me when DD was 2 months old. I was obsessed with it even though I knew I wasn't ready. It's gotten better, but I still miss it.

    Agreed! But seriously....the thought of getting back into the game is scary. But yet at the same time now I feel like I know it is/was all worth it, you know? Good luck figuring out what is next! I feel like another pregnancy would HAVE to be easier....lord knows it couldn't get any harder!

  • While pregnancy for me is stressful for a very different (and not nearly as debilitating on a day to day basis) reason than for you, I kind of understand. Best of luck whenever you decide you are ready! And FWIW, we totally were NOT ready to be pregnant again because of how difficult it is for our whole family, but now that it's here unexpectedly, it's manageable and we are so excited! Hope you find the same (and find success whenever you are ready).

    I am right where you are..I would love to get pg again but not sure if I could handle the whole IVF thing.. I have some frosties so I am thinking abt using them I just want to make sure the timing is right.. I just wish it did all have to be so hard..
  • I have wanted another one from the day I saw Jack for the first time. But I was fortunate to have had a great pregnancy. But every pregnancy is different and maybe my next would be a nightmare! Maybe yours would be a dream!! 

    Do you have frozen embies? If so that makes getting on the roller coaster a little easier.

  • Me too. Its because our kids are not infants anymore. If you had asked me two months ago I would have said no way.

    Sadly with my dx and the scary NT bloodwork results I got with C I am not sure I will be taking on more treatment. Oh and I would need to win the lottery too. 

  • Oh girl....trust me that feeling will ONLY GET WORSE.  Its awful for me now.  I'm about to trigger for my first IUI after 5 clomid BFN's I'm starting to get worried that I'm back on the train for the long haul.  But its just natural to feel this way!  I'm sooo with you on this sister haha!

  • I miss it too.  So much.

    You do make cute babies!  I know it will be a tough decision given all you've been through, but I hope you're happy with whatever you guys decide!

  • I was thinking about this a lot today too. I remember we discussed being 1 & done last week & now I'm sorta missing being pregnant too. DH absolutely will not even consider another child though until after DD turns 1 & I think that's for the best for several reasons in our case. GL to you with whatever you guys end up deciding to do. :)
  • You and me both sister. I totally want another. We have 3 snowbabies so we'll see. I can't stand that Beau has frozen brothers/sisters in a lab. I want those babies in me!  It's overwhelming thinking about starting up again though.

  • I'm with you! IF was such a devastating and painful road and I also had a really difficult recovery from her birth, yet I'm dying for another baby already.

    Good luck with your decision!!

  • I know. Some days I think I must be the poster child for insanity, wanting to do this again so soon after a scary, high risk pg. But it's so easy to forget/block all of that out and see the perfect, sweet child I have now and want to do it all over again!

    Hop on board, Smilee! The rollercoaster sucks, for sure, but maybe it would be easier with some company ;)

  • Its amazing what you would do for him (ie, to have another one of him).
