I just found this site and am so thankful for all of your postings. I thought I was the only one who wasn't able to conceive after getting pregnant with my daughter so easily. I know that sounds silly, but when you are ready for another baby, and it's just not happening, you feel all alone.

I had my daughter in Sept. 07 and then went on the Mirena IUD. My husband and I had talked about having our kids close together and had it removed after 4 months in April 08. The doctors told me my cycles would return to normal within 1-3 months. It did, May 08 I had my 1st cycle and since then they have been regular and on time. I still am not pregnant. I contacted my midwife/OB after 8 months of trying and was told to hang in there, it will happen. Sorry but that's not really what you want to hear, you have already been hanging in there for 8 months. ( sorry )

I have been reading over other posts and I just need some help and support.

I have friends all around me getting pregnant and I feel like I can't be close to them because I want so badly to be in there shoes. I don't want my friendships ruined because of that, but I just can't help it.

My midwife/OB said that I would need to be referred to a specialist at 1 year of trying, what should I expect at that appointment? What should I be doing now to try and prepare? This past month I used an ovulation kit to see if we were missing the "best time" and still nothing. I start to cry everytime my period starts.

I am so grateful for my daughter and love her with all my heart. We would love to have more kids, to have her enjoy siblings and the joys of brothers and sisters.

Thank you for reading,
Jill
