Trying and scared

Hi all I haven't been on in a long time. The last time it took us so long to get pregnant and cost us a lot. There are many reasons why I'm scared to be trying again one is how long and how hard it was to get pregnant two is I almost died and my son was six weeks early. We are all fine and doctors have assured me I would be ok. I hope to help with any questions and hope to get help with my questions. My first cycle will be this month.

  • I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your difficulties and I hope the second time around it's easier and more positive. Have you read The Fertile Female? Julia Indichova talks about the "inner orphans" that we have that that can cause difficulties conceiving. I won't even try to explain it, because I won't do it justice, but she explains it really well and I found it to be useful. Laboring DD was a little traumatic for me because of the 2 1/2 hours of pushing and the effects of that were long-lasting. Anyways, I really encourage the book!

  • Thanks I didn't have a great birth board when I was pregnant with my son so I hope things are different. Don't get me wrong there were a few great girls. And I haven't read that book but now I'm going to look for it thank you.
