I’ve had 3 transfers of PGT tested embryos. Then had a hysteroscopy showing scar tissue that was treated. Then transferred a 5aa embryo which failed again and now have transferred a 6aa embryo because my 5bb didn’t survive the thaw. Day 8 today and test is negative. Plus I’ve started spotting so I know the answer. ...

Hello everyone! I’m currently in day three of my IVF cycle and my medication coverage has run out!

Hello mama! I am here for some advice. My doctor found a fibroid outside of my lining and said because it’s outside the lining, it’s not an immediate concern.

I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant so I need to figure out my birth plan. An induction has been advised at 39 weeks which I’m not sure whether to agree to or push back on.
