Anyone else TTC #2

I have been trying off and on for about 1 1/2 years and we are that we conceive this month. I didn't know the second one was going to be this hard.

Me too!!!! We got preg. with our son (almost 3) in like two months of trying!! Very frustrating!!

Where are you at in your cycle right now? Are you getting help from an RE, or are you just doing it on your own at home??

Hi!

My son is almost 3 and we were trying to conceive #2 for almost 2 years. We tried on our own for a year and had 2 m/c during that time, then we started seeing an RE after the second m/c. After several months of testing and treatment, I am now 6 weeks pg with #2 and praying that everything goes okay.

There are several others here too that are trying for #2 and a few trying for #3. Good luck to you!

I'm right there with you. We have a 3 year old son and it only took 3 mths. to get pregnant with him. We have now been trying for going on 10 mths. and I as well didn't think it would be this hard! Good luck to all!

Yes me too! My dh and I have been trying for #2 for 2 years. We conceived our ds naturally and it took a year but we were going through a lot changes that year (marriage, my dad passed away and we built a new house) so I do believe it was stress related. Last September I had a m/c a 7 weeks. I NEVER would have imagined it would be taking this long and be this difficult emotionally. Good luck to everyone!

Our 2.5 yo ds was conceived IUI w/clomid on first attempt (after 3 years trying naturally). Everyone told us the second one would be easy....we tried a year on our own and have been back at the RE for about a year. Good luck all!!

Hi,
Welcome. I've been trying to conceive baby #2 for 3 1/2 years now. Our first child wasn't exactly "easy" to conceive- she took a little over a year, but this time has been horrible. Our daughter, Molly, is turning 5 on the 18th. Have you started any treatments yet?

My twins were conceived via IVF/ICSI and now we are naturally ttc number 3. But we're only having sex -- no drugs, meds, or procedures. If it happens, it happens. If not, I'm just thrilled I have two little boys.

We conceived baby #1 six weeks after trying, now a year and a half after trying for baby #2 I'm sick of people asking when I'm going to have another one. Do they really want to know the answer?

My first son was born after almost 2 years of trying but on my first round of Clomid. He is now 3½. We are now on cycle 3 of clomid 150mgs. I also just made my appoint today to see a RE. I am hoping I will be able to cancel it. I am also using the OV Watch to help track my ovulation this month. I am too. good luck to you.

Hi there first off, I'm a newbie here!
My name's Mindy from Georgia. Mother of 1. My husband and I have recently started RE-trying to get preggers but, no such luck! About a year ago, I was tested for endometriosos and also was checked to see how fertile I was. (Seeing as how my daughter was born prematurely 8 yrs ago). Dr. just wanted to make sure I could get preg. again. No problems here. Well, my husband had a semen analysis done and from the little bit he gave...he has a low count. But, he thinks it's because he couldn't concentrate on doing what he had to do in the cup because my daughter was banging on the door hollerin "Daddy, Daddy...what'ya doin Daddy"...lol

This will Nate's first baby if we get preggers. I have my daughter from a prev. relationship. Why does it have to be SO hard to have a child with a man that you LOVE and so easy to have one with a man you were just stupid enough to fall for his tricks? (lol) Never made sense to me.

Anyhow, it's nice meeting ya'll! Can't wait to learn more!

Another newbie here, also trying for #2. Been trying for ten months now, praying that January will be it. I'm so greatful for the one I have already, but I would love for her to have a brother or sister close enough in age for them to enjoy each other...

It took us nine months to get her (three on Clomid), and I conceived again, but lost the baby, after three more on Clomid. Starting on month four of Clomid this time, and praying it works one more time.

Good luck to everyone here!

We have been trying naturally for #2 for 9 years. Since we are not getting any younger finally decided to go to an RE. We have an appt next week to go over options. 15 years ago it didn't take 2 months to get prego naturally. I guess a lot can happen in 15 years though! Good luck to all!!
