I understand. Vent away, my friend. it's not fair.

I understand as well and this this too often. *hugs*

If I woke up one day and I was just "SURPRISE: pregnant!!", I don't think I'd care where in life I was. I would take that miracle and run with it. I don't think it'll ever happen though.
I feel ya. It's a beautiful surprise that we may never have:/ it isn't fair.

Eta: I did get pregnant by surprise after I had my LO, but MC'd and it's been 18m of trying and intervention since then to conceive again (still not there).

I was all geared up for a struggle with TTC #2. I had PCOS and it took 13 months and metformin to conceive S. Well, this time we were completely shocked when NFP failed and gave us baby #2!

It was completely unexpected, and in some ways I am always on edge this time, feeling like I didn't "earn" this pregnancy it is tough, I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop, but 22 weeks 4 days and so far baby is doing well.

I hope for surprise babies for you all though, and I hope that those of you who get them don't struggle like I do!

Wouldn't it be nice to just get pregnant? Sigh... I found out this week that my friend is pregnant with her 5th child. Yes. 5th. She has had two miscarriages, which I know are devastating. But 5 pregnancies...and here I am just hoping we have the chance to experience it maybe one more time.

We are on our way to the RE next week to discuss the process of trying for #2. My son was conceived on our 3rd IUI last fall. I'm getting a little nervous about jumping in to the medications & monitoring again, but I don't feel like I have the time to continue to NTNP since I am 35 1/2 and it took us 20 months to get pregnant with our first.

I wish I was like your neighbor

@ladybee: Amen!!!!!

@ladybee: I agree with you completely. We have been NTNP since my 18month old DD was born and nothing so far. We've tried 1 month with progesterone supps with BFN. I'm hoping it doesn't take much to conceive this time around. It doesn't help that I have a coworker who accidentally got pg with natural triplets when her son was less than 1 year old. Not that I'm envious of all that craziness but she accidentally got pg with triplets!!! It's frustrating that some women have such a difficult time getting pg and others it just happens without any trying. It makes me feel like why did I bother using bc pills for 10 years prior to having DD when clearly I'm not going to accidentally get pg. I would have been happy with Irish twins if it had happened because it would have been natural and without medications or monitoring to TTC!

I totally get this. Right now I am contemplating whether to wean my LO at 1 year (who was conceived after 3 IUIs and 3 IVFs) just so we can do IVF before I'm too old. Sucks.
