I’m curious who you are telling you are TTC and if it’s any different than when you were trying the first time?

I feel like because our daughter is two and we’ve shared we want to have two kids people are probably assuming we are trying and there’s something weird about that whereas the first time no one would be able to have a guess and I liked the privacy more from that. Curious how other people approach it!

TW: miscarriage

I've had 2 pregnancy losses in the last 6 months. While my toddler has been a great distraction, she's added a layer of complexity to my mourning. She's gotten me out of bed, kept me making somewhat balanced meals, kept me going to work. In exchange, she gets a mom that is partially in another world, very irritable and so tired. I'm doing everything I can to help me and our family through - therapy, antidepressants, physio, massage therapy, nutritionist and soon grief counseling - but it still feels very heavy. At the same time, I'm preparing myself to embark on the TTC journey again once cleared by my doctor knowing there's a risk I'll continue on this very lonely journey.

I feel so guilty that I can't give my toddler my 100% like she deserves. At the same time, all I want is to be pregnant again and complete our family.

Is anyone else living this too? How are you doing?

My previous cycle I had a chemical pregnancy, and believing every stereotype I was 100% certain I would be pregnant this time.

I was one day late this morning and woke up with so much hope. (I decided not to take any pregnancy tests unless I was at least 3 days late). When I went to the bathroom I wiped blood and just stared. My husband got the girls (ages 4 and 2) ready for church while I sanitized my menstrual cups and put on a brave face.

At breakfast my 4 year old was saying that her little sister couldn't wear a red shirt because people would think she was a boy. I reminded her that just because someone wears a red shirt doesn't make them a boy. Then she hit me with "I really wish I could have a brother."

Later at church my potty training 2 year old (who is OBSESSED with babies) pooped in her underwear and while I was dealing with that she pointed at the changing table and said over and over "BABY BABY BABY!".

I had to borrow wipes from the only other baby at church and when I was returning them, there was a group of women around the baby chatting and fawning and they said "He is the resident baby at church!" And someone responded "Well he is the only one!"

I walked away and bawled.

CD one always sucks.

Here is to Cycle number 8! May this be the lucky one.

I can’t seem to find an answer to this! While I was TTC my first baby I often heard people say they have weak ovulation but never really understood what it meant.

I’m currently 8 months PP. I’m still breastfeeding my baby x4 times a day and a few times at night.

My period returned around 5 months PO. I tracked my ovulation and I noticed that my LH peak is later that it was before becoming pregnant (around day 20-25 against day 13-15) and my luteal phase is only 10/11 days long (it used to be 14/15). Would that be a sign of a “weak” ovulation? Meaning I am less likely to get pregnant? Will that resolve will less breastfeeding?

I’m not ready to TTC baby number 2 just yet, I’m more trying to understand what’s going on with my body. It took us a year to conceive our first so we’re thinking of trying again when my baby turns 1.

Thanks!

(I posted this in yesterday’s daily, but no answers so hoping to get some here)

The clinic we did our 1st IUI with last month (unsuccessful) recommended we jump straight to IVF, as it 'triples our chances', compared to IUI. So far we know I'm OK on folecular phase hormone tests, and my partner has a slightly altered SA, however, they've not ordered any tests to check if there's any problem on my side - like blocked tubes, endometrial biopsy.

Feels to me they're jumping the gun here... Would anyone else be willing to share what other tests were done for them before IVF was on the table?
