DO YOU EVER THINK HMMM CAN I REALLY GET PREGNANT AGAIN?? JUST A VENT!

[MotherOFSweetieD]

Ladies,

I am just needing to vent to get some things off of my mind here lol. I have a 4 year old son and DH and I have been TTC for 5 months now I know it is not long and god bless the ladies who have been trying for years. But for the ladies who have kids and who are maybe TTC a second like I am do you ever think can I really get pregnant again is there something wrong with me?? It was so easy getting pregnant with my son, of course I have to remember I was a little younger and a fertile myrtle lol I was also taking One Source Prenatals and we got pregnant in 3months I could not believe it I thought it would take a year of trying. Back then I did not know what ovulation was or anything about my body at all. Now I know alot more then I did and I have this feeling something is not right maybe it is just me but just like anyone TTC you excpect or at least pray to get pregnant within a few months. I have had a vaginal ultrasound not long ago and I was  checked for cysts and there was not any Thank God I know I ovulate but maybe I cant conceive for some reason. I keep wondering see I had a unplanned C-section and that worries me did the doc put me back right ya know? I had the scariest thing happen when I was having my c-section I heard the doc say we have to get this bleeding to stop I think he thought I was asleep because I had went through 31 hours of labor already. I just hope I was not bothced in anyway.My OB says take prenatals again and they gave me like 5 bags of samples but they make me so sick even the One Source did when I was trying for my son that is why I have not been taking them while I am TTC now. I do eat alot of fruits and etc.The first month on TTC BABY # 2 was such a emotional ride I was a week late from stress and it was horriable I thought I was pregnant only to be hit with AF. I know I am rambling but I have tried to be patient and I have even quit tracking symptoms, and following ovulation so DH and I would not feel like where doing another job when "O" time comes around. So now we enjoy our bedding not that we didnt before but it is not stressful or all about making a baby. So here I am Month after month same ole **** sore boobs, and blalalal that is why you cant really go by symptoms because they are so close to AF symptoms. It is like the more DH and I try to get pregnant people all around us are getting pregnant it is crazy both of my sisters are pregnant and I am happy for them but it may sound selfish but what about me? I mean we have actually been TTC they actually just ended up pregnant and not even trying.I just dont know what to think maybe it is really not meant to be a second time but I cant accept that. Thanks-Shay

Hey!
I got pregnant 3 months after I started trying and then that ended up in a miscarriage.  Then of course I started feeling like I had to make it happen to prove to myself that my body works.  It seemed unfair that everyone else has such an easy time getting pregnant but me.  Anyway the month that I decided to just take it easy and let it happen, I got pregnant (5 months after the mc).  I did however start taking prenatals and Omega 3's and started going back to the gym (I really haven't since).
Anyway, your body takes care of it there's really not much you can do except have sex and have fun.  It will happen, but its nature, and you can't predict what it will do.

[MotherOFSweetieD]

Thank you so much for all of your comments I will just keep trying and praying that it will happen eventually. Thanks!

I felt the same way.  I got prego with my DS immediately and then tried for baby no 2.  It took me 5 months.  I also had learned a lot about ovulations and such in the meantime and actually think itmay have hurt me.  I tried to time things perfectly, and I think that it was just not that much of a science with my body.  It was actually the month that I did not want to get pregnant due to tests that needed to be done on me that I ended up getting pregnant.  calm down, dont think about the ovulation as a science and see what happens.   I actually tried telling the people at the radiology place that I absolutely could not be pregnant because it was only 12 dpo and if we did it that day I could guarantee I was not pregnant.  thank goodness they didnt pay any attention to me!

Dear MotherOFSweetieD,
I can totally understand what you're feeling even if our situations are slightly different. We have been TTC since Nov 2006 and I finally got pg on April 2008. Unfortunately it was a non-viable pregnancy and I miscarried in May. Now I'm 13 weeks pregnant and I'm really happy but before this I was a wreck. I was afraid that I could never be pregnant, which is I guess the feeling you have about having a second child.
No one can predict the future but I want to tell you that having a first child and getting pregnant so quickly the first time shows that you and your husband are a fertile couple and you can conceive. You will probably get pg very soon, and I'm sorry to say but 5 months is really not long. Give more time to your body and try not to focus only on baby n2.
I'm crossing my fingers for you and all the girls here TTC, hope to see a lot of babies reallys soon!!

take care
M

Hi
First let me say, this was a very comical/I hear ya sister post! I totally understand what you're going through, but as a few of the posters have said it's still pretty early and if us girls that have been trying for well more than 5 months haven't given up or gone completely nuts (not to be misunderstood for sane, because oh I am definitely nuts...just not completely..yet) then don't you go jumping off of the deep end just yet. If you have a "something's just not right" feeling, then I'd say discuss it with your doc, or do what you just did VENT and get it out, sometimes that helps. Otherwise give it a little time and more than likely you'll be posting "BFP ...Finally" and Hopefully I'm not sitting here reading it saying "oh woopedew...another one" (Cynical Happy Tone) and I will be sharing the good news with you too! All in all give it a little while relax enjoy yourself like you have been doing and wait for your little bundle of joy! Keep us posted, although sometimes I get a little jealous of the good news I see on here, I still like seeing it...it gives me hope!. GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE WONDERFUL BABY DUST IN THE WORLD!

I was diagnosed with Secondary Infertility (PCOS). Sometimes women become infertile, even after having given birth.

I am in no way, shape or form saying that about you. I'm just saying that there are people who struggle for years to get pregnant. It's only been 5 months so just relax and give yourself some time. Have fun with it and good luck!

[MotherOFSweetieD]

You are so right I could have not said it better! AF for me is due the 23rd and I am like uhhhhhh. I have tested to lolololol even though I know it is to early to lolol. With my son I was like 2 weeks late before I got a BFP I thought that DH'S sperm had burnt a hole in my cervix or something because I was so late because I kept getting a  BFN with my son llololol Keep me posted and I will do the same !!!!

[newuser82]

Totally know how u feel.Sometimes i feel like i imagine symptoms.I keep checking my bbs to see are they tender lol.I feel nauseaus but wonder too is this in my head.:):):)Its just that its something we want to happen so bad its hard to take your mind of  it.Im due af 17th have tested 3 times already(too early i know)im very impatient i jus wanna see the 2nd line already lol.Ill keep you posted although im feeling cramps and irritability already a sign that the b#*!% is on her way :(:(:(:(:(.It will happen for both of us im sure when the time is right.Whats meant for us will not pass us by:)

[MotherOFSweetieD]

Thank you Sweetie I hope you get your BFP soon as well and everyone TTC.
I know exactly how you feel, my son and DH is everything to me and I am so glad I at least got to be pregnant once. That is how I am I try to not think about it and alot of the time I dont think about it until the 2WW and then I am like great BRING ON THE SYMPTOMS lol because it is the same every time you wanna know something crazy?
I never ever except for sore bb;s had to deal with the symptoms until DH and I started trying it was like here came all of this **** as soon as we starting trying it was horriable lol

[newuser82]

I totally understand what your saying.I feel like you just jumped into my head and wrote down everything thats inside my head.I have an 18 month old daughter and we are ttc our second also.I too have only been trying for a short while but i just thought id do the deed and id be pregnant again.It takes its toll i feel like all i think about is having a second baby.Sometimes i think if i could just stop thinking about it it would happen because we never planned for our 1st.So if it happened that time without having to chart temps and track ovulation it will happen again.I am blessed and so thankful i was able to conceive once and experience pregnancy and have a beautiful girl now.She is my life.Like you i dont think i could accept if i couldnt have another :(:(It makes me think though how all these other poor women do it every month when they get bfns and are never able to concieve there own child.I wish you all the best and i hope we both go on to have lots of babies :)(and all the other ladies out there trying too of course)Good luck hun xx
