Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Period after IUD?

I had a copper iud inserted 5 weeks ago, I still haven’t had a period yet. How long did it take for you to get your period after insertion?

3

TTC with PCOS

I newly found out that I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant. I’m taking Letrozole, but haven’t started ovulating yet. I’m 22 and desperately want a baby. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

5

Fertility tracker success stories?

Hello mamas! I’m looking into fertility trackers (kegg, inito, etc.) after a year of failing to conceive. Does anyone have any success stories (negative reviews also welcome) to help me decide what might be best? TIA!

Any mommas gotten pregnant with IUD

Specifically copper IUD. If so, what happen did they take the IUD out or left it inside since it has no hormones.

tubes

so i’m getting my tubes out next month .. anyone else get their procedure done ?

10

Pre-Seed Success?

Has anyone had success with pre-seed lubricant? I’m so worried it will mess things up.

Copper IUD experiences

Can any moms share their experiences with the copper IUD? Side effects, any issues with removing, etc?

IVF abroad when you're black

I'm thinking of doing IVF in the Czech Republic as a single woman. I'm scared that racism may mean when I'm under the anesthetic, they start fiddling with my body as racial bias means they ignore boundaries/consent.

Any tips
No siblings, dead mother , father lives elsewhere. sure I can go with a friend but I really need some thinking beyond that.
