Accepting powerlessness
I had a lovely low-key 40th yesterday. Pretty much a regular day as a SAHM - grocery shopping in the morning and then I …

About Me
I'm a stay-at-home Mum to my three-year old daughter. Writing is my passion and I have found it incredibly therapeutic to write a blog at this time http://tryingfornumbertwo.blogspot.com/ about my journey with secondary infertility. I update it regularly, and always love to hear from women going through the same thing.
Interests
An interesting aside to experiencing secondary infertility is as I work the layers around my grief etc, I have discovered that I am going through some kind of an identity crisis! It's partly to do with my daughter becoming more independent and partly to do with me turning 40 later this year. So I am a WIP around my interests, as they are evolving. I will keep you posted! Writing, going to the gym, walking, reading, and spending the time by the sea have always been big loves, and still are. I also enjoy motherhood - some days it's a breeze, some days it's a challenge !

A belated happy birthday! Am short of time at the moment, but going to catch up with your journals as soon as I have the time. x x

Happy Birthday. I'm glad it was positive. Your image of the balloons drifting away stayed with me. You write so eloquently. You do sound more at peace with where you are. I am envious because this desire for a second child has been a turmoil inside me for so long. When these miscarriges started happening to me I bought a stack of books trying to make some sense of it all. I think I did pick up unconceivable but never read it. I think I may give it a try. Hugs to you.
Present
Happy Birthday! You sound like you had a good one.

Close Infertility
Type: Hormonal DisordersI signed up here before I realised there was a secondary infertility community. I highly value this community and the friends I have made here. :)
Close Infertility, Secondary
I had an ovary removed when my daughter was delivered via c-section. I've been TTC # 2 child for 22 mths. I had a chemical pregnancy at the end of '06, which ended at 6wks. My periods have become more & more erratic:basically it is questionable as to whether I am even ovulating. A cyst was found in an ultrasound Dec '07 & it was removed via a laparotomy May 8th. No success with 1st 2 rounds of Clomid. (pre-surgery) Now on round three, 1st round since op.
Treatments
- Basal Thermometer Working / Worked
- Only useful when ovulating
Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
I have a three year old daughter.
Treatments
- Attachment Parenting Working / Worked
- Dr Sears is my man & I related to his description of "high needs" babies/children's early on. It has worked for us yet it is very exhausting at times.
