Infertility, Secondary Support Group
"Secondary infertility" is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived and carried a normal pregnancy. Apart from various medical conditions (e.g. hormonal), this may come as a result of age and stress felt to provide a sibling for their first child.

I am trying so hard to be patient and take what comes. I thought I was pregnant last month because it had been 8+ weeks since my miscarriage and no period and I felt horrible. I did eventually start my period. I was a little overwhelmed with everything, so I decided to take a little break from all the planning when I ovulate etc. But did not go back on bc like I thought I would do. I decided I want to just let nature take its course. I didnt even take the time to mentally or physically write down when my period started last month. I know it was about a week to 5 days before the end of the month. And now I am in this month, 4 days before the end of the month, and no period? Hmmm I am trying to be patient and not get my hopes up. I am usually very regular in starting the same day or before each month. But I dont know if the miscarriage messed me up somehow. I noticed I have been a little bit hungrier, but I havent had much of an appetite these last couple months. And I am a bit dizzy, but have been for a month or so. Also I have had a lot of thick white discharge the last two weeks or so. I just figured I was getting sick, but never did. And as you can see its a million questions going through my head and driving myself insane. I think I just had to vent to some people who understand the craziness of all of this. My husband is very supportive, but does not understand. I am going to will myself to wait until at least the first week of January to take a test, that is unless I start my period. Thanks for listening and all of your great feedback. It makes me feel a little less crazy. I hope you all had a great holiday and have a great new year!

Hey hun. So I know you want to wait, but you are close enough to POAS by now. You should check ASAP because the same thing happened to me and I was. I had an M/C because of a progesterone defficiency. Had I found out earlier, I could have started taking it to keep the pregnancy going. So check it out. You never know. Good luck.

I understand the craziness of it all. I hope you find out what is going on soon.

Took a test today, and it was a BFN. I expected it, but still depressing. Still no period though. I guess it is possible I was wrong about last months dates. So I will test again in about a week unless aunt flo comes before then. Also last time I was pregnant in Aug, I only got a faint positive 3 days after my period was to start. Maybe?

Pretty sure I am starting my period. Yep.....pretty depressing.
