Hi Jo,

My little man is only 9 weeks old and I have already been thinking about no.2

With my 38th birthday looming next month and only having 1 ovary, I know its not going to be an easy journey. The doctors have said with my history Im lucky I got pregnant at all so I thank every day for my beautiful little boy but I hate the thought of him being an only child. I dont want to go down the IVF trail again, it was very hard and so emotionally draining so I want to see if by some miracle we can fall pregnant naturally.

My OB has said he'd like me to lose 20kgs first so less stress on my body. I want to try sooner rather than later (strike while the iron is hot as such) since my body has just experienced pregnancy and while my insides are reasonably "clean" (I suffer from severe endo)

My DP and my mum say we should be thankful to have one and are not convinced about having a 2nd child. We dont have our own house as yet (just renting) so financially it would be a struggle but LOTS have 2 or more kids and seem to cope.

Anyway, wanted to share my story with you. IVF is hard and I dont want to go down that track again.

Good luck with your journey.

Tania
