I've tried to hint at it with my friends to see if they've experienced similar issues, but none seems to know what I mean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scared-and-ambivalent#post-1311302 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 05:02:03 +0000 Michita21 1311302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I know you're right. I do want my son to have a sibling and that should be my motivation to face my doubts and issues. Thanks for reminding me of what's truly important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scared-and-ambivalent#post-1311301 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 04:59:03 +0000 Michita21 1311301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Thanks--I think I will give OPK a try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scared-and-ambivalent#post-1308870 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 20:41:59 +0000 MamaMoose 1308870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally get where you're coming from. My cycle has been weird ever since it came back post partum (cycle seems to get a day shorter every month, and I have pretty intense abdominal pain for at least a full day around ovulation). I'm starting to worry about TTC #2, especially since I had a miscarriage before conceiving #1 and then had a drama filled pregnancy (lots of bleeding, preterm contractions that started at 26 weeks, and a very intense UTI that required multiple rounds of antibiotics). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scared-and-ambivalent#post-1308847 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 20:31:16 +0000 Boogs 1308847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. At the end of the day I feel like my LO would be happier with a sibling than without. This made us push through any issues to work on that for our LO1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scared-and-ambivalent#post-1308758 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 19:48:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1308758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. I've struggled with loss while trying for #2. I had to give up temping. With a toddler my sleep wasn't predicatable enough for it to work. Instead I used opk to track ovulation and general awareness of CM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scared-and-ambivalent#post-1308625 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:47:09 +0000 Michita21 1308625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone. I'm generally on the sidelines reading but something has been weighing heavily on my mind and I don't know who else to turn to, this being such a private subject.</p> <p>I have a two-year-old and I have no doubt that I want to give him a sibling. The problem is, I am afraid to TTC. I had a miscarriage and a cystectomy before I had my son, and even the pregnancy itself was a bumpy ride. The last time I had regular periods was before I got pregnant. Now, my periods range from 30-40 days. I have partially charted my temperature the last two cycles--I never finish charting because I don't see a significant rise in the temp, at least not as significant as the ones I had before getting pregnant with my son. All of these things point to difficulties ahead for our TTC journey, and I don't know how to reconcile my desire to have another baby with the fear of disappointment, especially since I have a two-year-old to take care of. </p> <p>Any of you ladies feel or have felt similarly? How do you/did you deal with it?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
