If you don't kind me asking, did you conceive #1 naturally? I ask because I'm having a hard time with number 2 when number 1 was easy so I'm wondering if there's something wrong this time. I wonder how common it is to have fertility issues after having a child.
TTC can be a huge emotional roller coaster. As a PP said, take a couple months to NTNP and see where your head (and heart) is after that. If you really decide it's time to throw in the towel, Resolve.org can be a great resource for helping come to terms with big family planning decisions.
(We are trying for our 2nd. Our RE gave us a 2% chance of natural conception and only a bit higher with treatment. We're in the middle of IUI #3. We might also need to throw in the towel soon. It's a really hard, emotional decision to make but there are lots of factors to consider - as highlighted by many of the other posts.)
Sorry my reply was to adunkin. Trying to figure out how this works.

Why are you worried? How long have you been trying? If it's been longer than a year you should see an RE

Agree with PP. A lot of it just has to do with statistics. You have a percentage chance of approximately 20% each month. So if it's taking a bit longer this time it is not necessarily indicative of a problem. Do you have a reason to think otherwise?
