trouble getting second child

hi welocme to ohbaby!.

We had trouble conceiving our second child. Our first was a suprise so we thought number 2 would happen easier! but no! 15 months of full on TTC and MCs as well then we finally had our second son!. 3rd time around we thought it would take just as long as #2 but it happened first month!!.

We didnt do anything inparticular. I went to fertility specialist and had tests done but obviously my body just needed a scare! bcos i got pregnant the week after apntmnt!

Sorry thats not much help!

Hi,

I am in the same scenario. My daughter came along after only two months off the pill, so we thought we'd have no issues with number two. So far it's been 8 months of trying with no success.

Starting to get very concerned that there's something wrong with me or my husband but not sure when we should start seeking medical advice. Especially since I've been charting and know that I'm ovulating, and been timing BD perfectly!!

I had a caesar with my daughter and can't help think that that's something to do with it?

It's great to be able to see there's other couples in the same boat, as ALL the other Mums in my coffee group who've gotten pregnant second time around keep joking about "It only takes one time" and it definitely has not been like that for us.

It's so emotionally hard, we theoretically should be in the prime baby-making situation (young-ish, non smokers, don't drink excessively, eat pretty well, exercise etc), but I guess it's just not meant to be just yet.

Staying as positive as possible is definitely the key, and keep thinking that the right baby will find you soon!

Hope it happens for you ladies soon, keep me posted!!

hi Girls
me too !
Our daughter is approaching 5yrs old - she was concieved the first month of trying and we have been trying almost two years for a second.

WE have tried averything - numerous treatments medical and althernate therapys - now heading down the IVF route - not sure I I got here !

It been such a hard journey

I had the same problem, was easy first time around but to fall pregnant second time was two years trying off and on (maybe abit more as I gave up even thinking off the months as was way too hard!). I was seriously thinking of giving up after we had a break for 6mths or so - but lucky for us we got pregnant first time. I honestly think the reason was stress out of my DH's life (getting a new job) that finally did it for us. I hope it doesn't take too much longer for you guys, its so hard when you want a baby so bad!!!

Hey Again,

I've actually just started seeing an accupuncturist. She's really lovely and I've already noticed that I've been a whole heap more relaxed this past week. (I told her that I wanted to enjoy having sex again and become one of those people who didn't know what day her period was due...) I feel a lot more at ease about TTC, so that in itself is a huge relief for me.

We'll see in a couple of weeks whether it's helped us conceive this month.

hi ladies,
I am in the same vote, my son is 16, took 2 years to conceive him, but managed it naturally, went down the Fertility specialis road when he was 4, attempted IUI for 2 cycles, didnt work, they blamed PCOS and I was what they reckoned to be overweight, so gave up, as that marriage was falling apart. Now I am in a new wonderful mariage, and would love to have another, took 1 yr before my GP would refer me to Gyno, took him another year and 2 ops later to finally refer me to Fertility specialist again, we opted to go public as I knew I need to lose some weight, 6 months down the track we finally got our 1st appointment, took 20mins to fill out forms spoke with Dr for about 20mins, and then she told us she had some letters to write can we ring her in 4 weeks time, 4 weeks was up yesterday, I phoned she was busy, and she finally phoned me back at 3.40pm when I was out on farm working, so am waiting to see what happens today. I just want to know what options they are going to give me, the day we had our visit with her she did say IVF, feel like my time is running out, I going to be 40 next year...

Really gets to me when people so at least you got one already...sometimes people just dont when not to say anything, my mans neice got pregnant with her 2nd cycle of clomid, my SIL said to me man that must upset you when you been on it for 6 months, I just said at least she not going through what we been through...the overweight thing really gets to me too, i know a couple of people that are and they both get preggers when they say they are ready...

I am way more relaxed this time round, but it is so hard to say positive and paitent.

Hope all is positive for everyone else out there...
