Clomid for second baby

I conceived baby #1 through taking clomid, this was on the NHS. Lo is now 8 months and we want to try for baby #2 soon- can you get clomid on the NHS if you have a child? Does anyone know? I’m in Dorset CCG.

I’m not 100% sure as I’ve not been in that situation but from what I understand they’d want you to TTC naturally before intervening. I could be wrong but that’s what I’ve understood x

We’re currently going through this as we’ve been trying for over a year for the second. I’m on metformin for now and reviewing with gynae next appointment. They didn’t say no but could be as I’ve had other issues arise since our 1st. I don’t think they would without TTC for a period beforehand to be honest x

thanks for your reply. Did you have to go through all the testing etc before being referred again? X

So I was already under / constantly under gynae as I have PCOS, endo & adenomyois. Irregular bleeds and past cervical issues. I’ve now got abnormally thick womb lining and a blocked tube that happened between May 2022 (daughter’s birth) and October 2023 (next routine scan). I’m on metformin for to manage pcos symptoms but gynae have tested whether I ovulate or not ( I don’t). So hoping that means they’ll help a bit. We’ve saved to go private either way x

Yes we had a Letrazole baby first time and we’ve been in treatment for another 2 years for baby number 2. You have to go back through everything testing wise again x

Yes I’ve just got it and I’ve had one already xx

I was offered Clomid and told you can only take it for 6 months , if you conceive after 3 months that means you would have another 3 months left to use which should be on the NHS to my understanding.

that is strange they offered me 12 months of Clomid x

how odd!
I didn’t take it I wanted to keep trying naturally but looking to go back to referral at the end of the year if I’ve had no luck but they told me they might look at putting me on Letrazole possibly which is new to me but having researched is very commonly used as well but how weird they definitely told me I would only be able to use clomid for 6 months

letrazole I conceived my first son on after 1 dose at 2.5mg, unfortunately even up to 7.5mg this time it didn’t work that’s why I went onto Clomid x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
