Welcome BD - I know what you mean about feeling a bit guilty wanting IVF baby#2 when others you know are struggling to conceive #1 and become parents. Isn't it funny though - I doubt parent that conceive naturally don't necessarily share the same considerations! Good luck with your FET and I'm so sorry to hear of your m/c earlier this year - how heartbreaking Especially after the joy of conceiving naturally. Hopefully by christmas we will all have pregnancies well underway!
A fellow IVF Mummy friend of mine recently experienced the same - After year of IVF and finally having their DD, they had a natural pregnancy but sadly it wasn't to be - she m/c and it just seemed like a cruel slap in the face
We are gearing up for Aug. I have my ovarian reserve bloods and scan on friday, DH went for his semen analysis on monday just gone - we had a giggle when they called it his 'andrology' appointment - we'd forgotten that from last time. It's all coming back to me - the process of a cycle, the familiarity of the BT, scans etc. I think I had blocked it all out once I got pg last time. I told my boss yesterday just so I'd have a bit of flexibility and understanding about the appts etc when I need to rearrange work etc.
MummyNaomi – Thank u for the hugs and good luck wishes… as you know in this game we need plenty of both, he, he !
I am glad someone else understands how I feel about having my DD… I feel so guilty even thinking about it as I know any child is a precious gift, especially with the challenges we face with LTTTC&AC that I should not be so picky!
I am sorry to read about your friend also… it is so unfair and sad. Good Luck for your ovarian reserve bt and scan tomorrow… I will keep my fingers crossed that you receive good news . Have you got DH’s analysis results back yet? I have just hit up my DH to stop drinking again and start taking his Chinese meds/ menivet incase we have to go to a stim cycle.
I’m glad you were able to tell your boss about the IVF… makes things so much easier . I have told a few colleagues but not my big boss yet. I am trying to get away with it whilst doing the Natural FET’s.
Let us know how you go with your tests .
Baby Dreamtime – Hun, I am so sorry for what you have been through… my biggest fear is to have a MC and as you said to have fallen naturally and then experience that loss is totally and completely heartbreaking. I do not know how I would handle it at all… I am happy for you that you have found the strength and courage to try again .
Thank you for well wishes also :hugs:.
I so completely understand what you mean about feeling ‘guiltily’ posting in the LTTTC&AC thread. That is how I feel also… I know the girls are nothing but supporting and want the best for any of us but I kinda feel like I am rubbing it their faces… I guess that is because I know how it feels to not yet be a Mum and wonder if I ever will be… It hurts so badly that it is almost unbearable . I feel terrible posting as some of those wonderful ladies in there were cycling with me when I got pregnant with DS. They deserve it to happen more than anyone…
Yippee, for having started another FET!! I am CD5 so we will be cyclying this one together!! So happy to have a cycling buddy . I think you are CD3 so we are only 2 days apart. I usually have 31 day long cycles and ovulate late also – arrgghhh. I think last cycle I ovulated on day 18…. At least we will get to wait together.
On a different note, my DS (who just turned 1) burst his eardrum last night . We have had continuous ongoing problems with his ears and are booked in to see an ENT… I feel so bad for him, although the doctor assured me that he is not in any pain now that the pressure has relised. I just want him to feel better…. we have experienced constant medical issues and he has also been diagnosed with an intolerance to diary and soy.
Good Luck to all those trying for #2 (and anyone reading trying for #1, or #3 or #4...) Sending lots and lots of to all!

Hi guys
I understand you're need to connect with others in similar situations, but we do already have a LT TTC & AC chatter thread, which is available regardless of how many children you already have. Likewise there is a chatter thread for Parenting after LT TTC.
I hope you can appreciate that we can't have a chat thread for every specific little subgroup - it's far too much work for us If you have specific questions or concerns, by all means start a thread, otherwise please keep the chatter to relevant threads.
Regards,
Coral 73 - Sorry to hear about your BFN. I know how you feel. I think it does make it a little easier having a little one around to cuddle & take your mind off things for a bit. Hope you are ok
As for me - I am just waiting for AF to arrive and then we start our cycle. Feeling in a good frame of mind at the moment... maybe that's because I haven't started the hormones yet!
