Deflated ☹️

We have been trying for another baby since June 2025, we had our little boy in Feb 2023 and we just want another one soooo much. My period has arrived today yet again, I feel so hopeless. We are doing literally everything possible, I am soo scared that it’s not going to happen for us. I’ve tried to get an appointment with my GP but been told we don’t qualify for a fertility referral due to us having one child and it not being 2 years since we started trying for another. In all honesty I just wanted to talk to someone about it all and I don’t know have it looked into more? I keep feeling like something is wrong, to be honest I don’t even know why I’m writing this but I’m fed up of people constantly asking if we are going to have another child and when we do say we’ve been trying for a while we get the whole ‘well you’ve already got one’ etc, and do not get me wrong I feel the luckiest in the world to have our little boy, he is our everything. But that doesn’t take away the upset and failing feeling I get every single time my period shows up. Sorry for the long post, I just felt I needed to get something off my chest and I know this is a safe space 🤍

It is really really hard❤️. Just to say we were there, then it finally happened, and now i am so so grateful for my age difference. But if someone told me this at the time i’d feel like telling them to F off.
Things I did differently in my lucky month:
1. by chance, ate carrots everyday (google orange veg)
2. Put a pillow under my butt with legs in the air each time afterwards and, after ovulation day, ordered Chinese takeout. Took the pressure off his performance, excited us in a different way😅
3. Bought 10 Poundland hcg tests in advance to calm my mind so I could test everyday, and just get used to the ‘no’ everyday rather than putting anticipation all on one day.

Saying it again.. it’s so hard. We’re all with you xxx
