Has anyone tried or know someone who’s tried vaginal steaming (yoni steam) or abdominal massage to increase fertility?

I’ve a had a couple failed transfers. Exploring more options while doing IVF.

I've heard of it but haven't tried. How are u paying for ivf if u don't mind sharing.

A friend of mine just announced she pregnant with twins after trying fir 5 years. She did the yoni steam and acupuncture. She's not sure if that's why she finally got pregnant but she's pregnant naturally no meds.

I've try them and love it! However I'm still TTC via IVF

I did a fertility massage after having a miscarriage and also laparoscopic surgery on my uterus to remove a fibroid. I didn’t do the vaginal steam though my masseuse suggested it. What I found was that the fertility massage allowed me to release some trauma and scars (literal and emotional). I didn’t realize just how much sadness I was holding onto from loosing the first baby, and my masseuse really helped me let go so I could be ready to receive my next one. I got pregnant on the next cycle and I’m 14 weeks strong. I hope this is help to you and your journey ❤️🙏🏻

I know you are in a different state but you might reach out to her and see if Marcia knows someone who does the Mayan massage techniques in SC...or maybe she has a resource that will be helpful to you. Sending you much love and good wishes ❤️

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

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 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
