Forum: Secondary Infertility

Loss Mentioned** So, I am lucky and grateful to have 2 healthy wonderful boys after struggling with infertility. I lost my first son at 28 weeks due to lots of complications which ended in premature labor and an emergency c-section. I still want another child, I'm still having fertility...

We decided to try for another child after LO was 6 months old. Decided to start early just in case. Well the just in case has turned into a reality. Went off BCP and after the first month my cycles got longer and longer. Did 6 months natural before deciding that it was time to see a RE. I got...

Hi everyone! I am so happy to find this site! I finally feel like I am able to talk to other mom's going through the same thing as me! I got pregnant at 19 while on the pill and now have a wonderful son who is turning 10! Four years later I was switching from the diaphragm to the pill and got...

Hey everyone! Here I am again! I have an only and just turned 37 and contemplating getting back into ttc again. I really hear my bio clock ticking and I know it is now or never. It took 2.5 years to concieve my dd and then I tried another 5 years after that. Since then I have gotten divorced...

I needed to share the news with someone and FT has always been so great for me as a way of coping and sharing. My DH and I have 2 sweet children from using DS- up till now he has been against even discussions of a 3rd, but not me... I will be 33 next week and boy is my clock ticking. Finally...

Today I gave away most of DD's (almost 5 now) baby clothes (0-18 months) to a good friend who is due with her first girl soon. I felt strong all day, but now I just feel overwhelming sad. Even though we are continuing with IVF our prognosis is not good and this felt like just another step to...

It has been roughly five years since I last posted on FT. When my DH and I finally decided to stop ttc baby #2, I had to step away from all of the baby-making madness and that meant I had to stop posting on FT or even reading posts. Self-protection. I came back today for a number of reasons, but...

Hello ladies, I need some advice. I'm in the 2ww after a FET and I'm injecting lovenox nightly. We've tried to shield our 4.5 year-old daughter from as much of the IF upheaval as possible, but she's very curious and has a lot of questions (ie., why do you have so many bruises on your stomach?...

Hi I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I am 37 yrs old and have a 5 yr old and 6 1/2 yr old. When I was pregnant with my 5 yr old I started having bladder issues. Finally 3 years later I was given a diagnosis. I have IC which is an auto-immune disease. When our 5 yr old was...

I had mine put in four months ago and just had it taken out 2 weeks ago due to migraines. Have any of you had the mirena before?? Just curious. I do have two year old identical twin boys from an IVF cycle but am thinking it would be nice to get pg naturally (ha, I can dream, right?) ...

Hi Ladies, Haven't heard from anyone recently and I thought some of you might like to share what's going on with you, dx, plan, currently in treatment... Hope to hear from some of you!

Hello everyone! This is my first post (I posted this exact same question in two different threads). I am very happy to be here. I am looking for a little advice/opinions regarding a possible luteal phase defect (the time between my ovulation and my period is only 7-8 days long - really short). ...

Hello i am casey and have twin boys age 1.5 after 3 years infertility, 1 miscarrage, ivf-icsi twice. They are my miracles for sure and we went through so much to get where we are. I have just started trying to concieve naturally htis past month. Anyone else trying now for a second or third baby??...

so how about some of you gals come out of lurkdom and share your stories? tell us about yourself. is this secondary after primary or just secondary? do you have a plan? a dx? would love to hear from some of you. i see ppl constantly viewing this board but nobody wants to talk??? i'll...

Can some of you share your thoughts on bringing your children with you to your RE appt. I have a DS that is fairly young and we are about to start trying for #2. We have our first IVF cycle (fingers cross our only this time) scheduled in September and I don't know what to do about bringing...

Not sure if this is the board to post this but thought I would start here. A little backstory... been awhile since I have been on FT. 32 years old with 34 yr old DH(married 8 years), IVF #1 miscarried 1, IVF #2 have 3 year old DD and miscarried her twin, IVF #3 miscarried twins (March 2010). ...

I'd like to compile a list of books on Secondary Infertility. Please let me know if you have a good book to recommend or feedback about a book. Wanting Another Child: Coping With Secondary Infertility by Harriet Fishman Simons - written a while ago, but right on the money TWICE BLESSED - A...

Hi ladies, I'm checking to see if there are enough ladies (or any) who are experiencing secondary IF with high FSH, POF or DOR that would like to start a thread? I experienced primary IF as well and you can see my history from my signature. I feel so blessed with my DD and want so much to give...

My DD turned one on Thanksgiving Day. I had a crazy short cycle (23 days) this past month with hot flashes which totally freaked me out. My OB tested my FSH which was 8 but it was really pushing into CD4 because of the weekend so I'm hoping it really is a tad lower. I have a call out to my...

I am new to this site but excited to get some answers! I am blessed with 8 yr and 11 yr old girls. While ttc them, I had 5 miscarriages throughout the years. I am re-married and have been ttc for 1 year now. I had a mc last Nov at 6 weeks and another mc this Aug at 5 weeks. I seem to get pg easy...

Yep. So my friends that got pregnant after I had DD are now announcing their second pregnancy. The thing is, it's easy for me to be happy for friends that announce their 1st pregnancy. The 1st timers are usually so self-involved that I can say "congrats!" and keep the conversation focused on them....

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I'll be BC'ing this board. I am currently dealing with secondary IF after PIF, so I'm just as much in the trenches as the rest of you. ;) Please let me know if you have any suggestions to make this board more helpful. Also,...

Has anyone ever used East Coast Fertility and IVF? TIA :)

I'm starting a FET as soon as I get my period (hoping it will be around mid-October). I have a 4 year-old DD and have had 4 miscarriages and way too many surgeries and tests over the past three years. I'm on synthroid, have been doing accupuncture weekly, and recently had a laparoscopy - so...
