Hello ladies,
I’m wondering if anyone has has a similar situation like mine.
DH and I had our daughter over 6 years ago. It took us 13 months to conceive her. The month we conceived her I don’t recall doing anything special or different. I had convinced myself I could have kids because I didn’t get a single positive test and then all of a sudden we were pregnant!
fast forward, we decide in February 2020 that we wanted to try for a 2nd child. It’s been over a year now and nothing. Not a single positive test. I’m not overly worried because it did take us over a year for my daughter, but I’m stating to get a bit anxious. I am 32, fairly healthy and DH is 37. The only thing is I have gained 30 pounds since I had my daughter.
I did see my OBGYN and she’s having me get my egg quality tested. I could never afford doing IUI or IVF.
The older my daughter gets, the more I want her to have a sibling. I’ve started doing acupuncture and taking vitamins. Also trying to exercise more. I think some of it may be stress, but I have a feeling it’s more than that too.
we have also been using OPKs since June 2020. I was optimistic those would help since I didn’t use them to conceive my first! But nothing.
just feeling a bit depressed about it...but trying to stay optimistic. I don’t want to get too worried about it as I know that won’t help matters.
