2nd Introduction on this board!(child mentioned)

Hi Everyone!!  I'm back!  I'm sad to be back but so grateful to have this board since everyone here helped me so much through my first journey.  We conceived our first ds (22 months old) via IUI after 3 years of ttc.  We are in the unexplained infertility category.  We are at 9 months of trying this time around and just so disappointed we are here again.  I heard so many people tell me "its easier the 2nd time"...i should have known better but got my hopes up anyway.  Today is my 1st scan, 1st round of blood work, dh is providing his sample and we'll do letrazole and timed intercourse this month.  I want so badly for this to work but its so hard to stay optimistic.  Sending so much baby dust to everyone here and I'm so happy to have your support and to be able to provide support to you all!!  ❤❤❤

    Welcome back, @roxarn87 ! The best of luck to you!!!

    I also heard about "number 2 is easier", but we're all different, so I guess there is no universal rule. I personally found that #2 infertility treatment process is easier emotionally, as I already have a lovely toddler running around, I'm already a mom, there is no more fear of being totally childless, and also more trust for the body, as it's already done it once, so it's capable of doing it again.

    @FuzzyDust thank you!! And I completely agree that the emotional toll has been easier to swallow.  Like it worked the first time so it has to work this time.  Thanks for the reply ans best of luck to you as well!!
