LA17's Journal

Long time

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

I can't believe it's been 2 yrs exactly since we have been TTC#2. This is the toughest thing to endure - wanting another child so badly and trying to explain to my son that not all families get to have little babies. He asks me all the time, and I started just saying that it's normal for some families to have just one special kid and not have babies so he doesn't feel like he's waiting to be just like all his little friends who have siblings.

Two years ago I thought a little Clomid, maybe a year of trying like with our son would do the trick. Oh, how wrong I was. I remember say to my BF that we wouldn't go to "extreme" measures like IUI or IVF since we are already blessed with one. Oh, how wrong I was. It seems the more I think about wanting another child, the more I will do anything to have one.

My 4th failed IUI. I guess after one or two more, I will have to consider IVF if it doesn't work. I still can't believe I thought I'd already have 2 kids by now and this would all be a distant memory in the past.

It's funny how we change our minds as we go along. When we started TTC #1 (and still no luck) almost 3 years ago, we always said we'd "call it" before IVF. Well, we just had our third failed IVF. And we're considering a fourth, and fifth, and sixth (if we can just get some insurance coverage). Nothing is easy, and I'm sorry you have to explain things to your son. Hopefully this will be a distant memory for you very soon. Hang in there!

I can understand about upping the ante fertility-wise. I too thought I would never try IVF but if that's what it comes too... I've hung in there this long, afterall! I just hope you get your BFP soon. xx

Ugh, I understand about explaining to your son. Mine prays for a little sister, and he loves babies so much! He asks for one all the time like I can just hand it to him :-( I have to tell him it's not that easy honey. . .the other day I was with a friend who is pg and her little boy asked me in front of my son if I had a baby in my tummy too - that was hard enough to answer but seeing the excitement in my son's eyes as he waiting for my answer was heartbreaking. Big hugs to you, I hope you get your BFP soon xo
