IVF/IUI SUCCESS

Hi all!

Posing anonymously so family doesn’t know I’m thinking about trying IVF again.

I’m looking to vent or just get some support from people who might know what it’s like. My first baby is 17 months old and was conceived through IVF. I want a second so badly, but the timing just doesn’t feel right.

I’ll be 40 at the end of the year and my AMH isn’t stellar, but it’s the same as it was last time I did IVF. Either way, I feel like I have to get going with it. But I know I can’t start up IVF again while I’m still breastfeeding.

That’s the hard part though. First, it took months to get him to breastfeed in the first place. But also, he still wakes up through the night to feed despite trying everything to get him to sleep through. I could just give him regular milk, but he’s struggling with that transition. He also hates drinking from a cup or bottle in the middle of the night when he’s teething — He only wants to be breastfed then. I also really saw myself breastfeeding until he was 2 or 3 for the extra antibodies and bonding - at least just once a day.

So all in all, I’m just having a really hard time giving up on breastfeeding and I’m feeling guilty for taking breastmilk and bonding time away from him for the sake of another baby. But I don’t feel like I have a choice.

Any words of wisdom or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

We have history of miscarriage. We had a fet late jun. This is 9 days post fet - eek.. i really hope things progress well..

I have my pregnancy test on Monday but I started bleeding yesterday afternoon (Friday). Has anyone else had period like bleeding and still received a positive for their IVF? I definitely have period like pain day definitely resigned to the fact it will be negative but was hoping someone else has a positive sorry for me

Has anyone used them ? Do they have any side effects ?

Today's finally here. Day 1 my period came early this morning! Called our clinic and now we have to drive 8 hours to our clinic tomorrow to be there for Monday so that we don't miss out on our day 3 scan. I'm extremely nervous this time around. Our last IUI was 2022 with our baby boy, but this is our last vial of sperm so I'm so scared of a negative outcome, I am staying positive, just so nervous.

Has anyone had there luteal phase be 10-11 and have sucessful outcomes with a pregnancy? I noticed my period comes 10 days past ovulation now the past 6 months
