Has anyone here ever gotten pregnant while having an iud?

I know they say the probability is super low but I’m just feeling off. I think it’s just anxiety and my period should be coming soon. Just wanna see how many people have actually experienced it (if any).

IVF protocol when you have adenomyosis

Hi

I got adenomyosis after my first preganancy. Just did another FET and it failed and I wonder if they should have done something else or different as I do have adenomyosis. Is there anything they changed in your protocol for this specifically? Anything to take into account?

Thanks x

TTC

Hey so me and my fiancé have recently discussed our future plans and have decided to start trying for our second child, our first was just kind no contraception and chancing it and kind of a ‘what will be will be’ as we wasn’t sure if I could conceive due to history of issues within my family however this time we’re really trying and I was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips or anything? As we want to of conceived before may next year.

When is the right time to start IVF?

Does anyone have any views on when the time is right to stop trying ‘naturally’ and start IVF?

My partner and I have one child already but trying for a second. Have been trying for a year and have paid for fertility tests in this time, they show we both have a couple of parameters which probably make our chances about 10% each month with properly timed intercourse.
Our clinic have said it’s up to us and we can continue trying naturally for another 3-6months or go for IVF now.

And I’m really struggling with what to do, I so desperately want a baby right now and I know IVF gives best chances for this, but is it too early? Or will I regret not starting now in 6months time.

How have other people made this decision?

Infertility trying to convince in my 30s

Hello Beautiful friends its nice to meet you all I am 33 years old engaged and struggle with infertility and just need some support please

IUD Displacement?

I had an iud inserted about 5 days ago. Since then, I’ve noticed that the strings are kinda hanging out of me by a couple of cm and my cervix is extremely low (I can feel it with my pointer finger, and my fingers are quite small). Is my iud trying to come out, is this normal? I can’t call my office until Tuesday, but I did send them a message through my patient portal.

I’m just freaking out about it and need some good news lol

Who has their miracle IVF baby, please tell us your story!

Someone might say, I am a geriatric mother. At 35 I realised that I mingt never be a mother. One miscarriage and few years of trying I end up in IVF clinic. The experience was difficut, there were days filled with hope and light and there were days when the darkness would consume everything. I am so lucky to say that my journey is a good one, after few attempts I bow have my baby girl.
I am now facing a question -> should I try again (later), I still have more embrios left.
Would like to hear IVF stories and see if there is difference in hormone supported vs natural insemination.

Fertility Lube

Anyone have any success stories using fertility lubricant?

IUD

Hey,
Has anyone had the mirena coil fitted post baby and had any issues?
I felt for a few weeks it’s not been right and told it was just adapting to it (had on prior to baby for 9+ years so I knew this was aloud of rubbish) but the coil has come out.
If been told by the dr who inserted it that it’s normal for it to come out post baby but I feel it’s a cop out 🙄

Low Progesterone on day of FET

Has anyone had a low progesterone in day of FET and clinic upped injections of PIO to every day with successful implantation?

IUD REMOVAL

We are TTC baby #2 and I had my IUD removed in late July. I am in my TWW. Has anyone gotten pregnant their first cycle after IUD removal?

Trigger Today, 2nd IUI tomorrow

Who’s with me? I have my 2nd IUI officially on the books for tomorrow morning 8/28. I had one follicle at 21 mm and one at 15 mm. Based on the growth from my last ultrasound to today’s my team is fairly confident the smaller one will be mature enough by ovulation for 2 eggs vs my 1 egg from my 1st IUI.

I’m super excited and cautiously optimistic, really hoping for a sticky baby!!

Wedding 6 weeks post partum

What would you do? If you've been trying for a baby for 4-5years and doing rounds of IVF, and just started a new round hoping this egg will take but would mean you'd be 6 weeks post partum at your wedding ?
Would you just commit to it all?

Fertility clinics are expensive in Nottingham

Is a NHS fertility clinic ok? Or is it better to go to a private clinic?

I feel so confused about ivf clinics as I have had 2 children naturally.

I never expected to pay to put a baby in my uterus. Crazy 😵‍💫.

There a clinic in Manchester seems loads cheaper than Nottingham I don’t know why. But I’ll need to do it in school holidays because I can’t have time of work.

3 years trying to have a 3rd so stressful wasn’t expecting this.

I’ve been for a private scan, I have high egg reserve. I just want my baby, 3 years now 5 losses. Pissed off. Fed up.

Sometimes I wish I wouldn't of had my tubes removed.

I had them removed so I didnt have anymore kids with my ex. Hes abusive and doesn't take "no" as an answer. I want another child but ivf is so expensive and adoption is a NO. I dont need social services up my butt. Delt with them due to my ex as well

What can I do any advice

Any IVF mummas on here?

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if there are any IVF mummas to be on here? I’m 5w5days but can’t work out what symptoms are the IVF meds and which are pregnancy related. Feel quite anxious that they might all be meds related, so hard waiting for a scan. Just want to know everything is okay!

Scary to post here

Mamas…I need some advice. Even thought I’m posting “incognito” this is still scary for me to write, I think because I know what I need to do but feel so trapped.

When I married my husband in Oct. 2022, he was kind, patient, loving, but he definitely had a streak of “control freak” to him. I didn’t see that/was blind to it/ignored it then. I really don’t know. I was blinded by love, I guess.

We spent the next year trying to get pregnant. We were both really stressed out. Long story short, we had to go through fertility treatment to conceive our daughter via IUI. Luckily, she was conceived on the first round and we didn’t have to go through multiple rounds. All throughout the process of trying to conceive and ultimately conceiving our daughter, my husband was calm and levelheaded and patient. It wasn’t until she was born in June 2024 that he became increasingly impatient and controlling and manipulative. When she was 10 days old, our little family moved from the Bay Area down to South Bay LA in order to be closer to his family, but it moved me away from close friends that I had made before I was pregnant and completely isolated me down here. I have made new mom, friends, but all of my friends here are moms and I don’t have anyone here with any knowledge of me before I became a mom. 33 years. I had an entire life in career before I became a mom and I don’t have anyone who knew me then in my life here now. Completely long and different story, but for complicated reasons, I don’t have the support and family.

When our daughter was 10 months old, my husband and I were in a not great but kind ok place, and we conceived our son. It was a giant surprise, and I didn’t know I was pregnant for a while. Throughout my pregnancy with my son, he became more and more and more and more isolating and controlling and manipulative, and mean, and I have been able to realize that this is happening while at the same time, feeling completely unable to do anything about it, and trapped with two very, very, very small kids. My daughter is just over too and my son is just over eight months. They’re 18 months apart and completely perfect. I know that we need to separate and ultimately divorce, but I have no idea how it works, and I am beyond terrified about what would happen if I lost the kids, even partially. I just can’t imagine.

So basically, I am hoping and praying NOT that someone else has been through this same or similar kind of situation, it’s awful, but that someone out there can offer some advice or clarity on what to do next. Do I just need to bide my time until the kids are a little bit older, and it’s a little bit “easier” to separate? I am also terrified of how he’s going to react when I tell him that I’m leaving. I don’t want to get into the details of his control and manipulation here, but I am more than happy to answer any and all direct questions either in the comments or through DM’s. I don’t know how it works with incognito posting, but if anybody can give me advice, I will share my name in a private message. Maybe we can text. If you’ve read this far, thank you so much for reading and for any advice that you might have.
