Hi everyone!

Currently ttc is taking a toll on my mental state. It’s emotionally exhausting and it feels like too much to bear. I don’t know how people do it. I desperately want to have a child, but trying to conceive one myself seems out of reach. My husband has adoption benefits through his employer. How did you decide to make the jump?

I did both. I had IVF benefits through a job at the time and so I started the medical process at the same time that I filled out my foster parent licensing paperwork. I accepted two siblings through the foster system, told my IVF doc I was “doubling down” haha, went through with IVF, it didn’t take, I ran out of money for more IVF, the 2 siblings are still in my house and their mom went to jail when she was just a few weeks pregnant and I got to take the healthy baby home at 3 days old. The adoption for the 3 foster siblings will be next month. I guess I just let the circumstances decide for me!

we have just started ivf. Thanks for your feedback

I hope my quick description of my entire process didn’t sound flippant or easy. None of it is easy. It’s obviously major life stuff and it only looks easy when I put it in a run-on sentence when I’m typing fast! Best of luck to you and the hubby in listening to your hearts and to each other. :-)

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

Family of 4 seriously contemplating emigrating to Australia from

Pcos secondary infertility?

Hi ladies, I have pcos and after a year of trying we did two round of Letro and got pregnant. Per the pre sticks ( which ik aren’t always accurate for pcos but have gotten progesterone checked at day 21 and have been around 10 before Letro and like 18 after Letro) I have always ovulated.

I’m on my third round of Letro and it’s day 25 and still no ovulation. I’m kind of just spiraling that I am extra broken now and will never be able to get pregnant again. Anyone else go through this? 😭

9DPO.. am I out?

I think I already know, but just looking for any shred of hope. No real symptoms, and very negative test this morning. Is there any chance or do I accept this isn’t my month (again.) This was my last go on Letrozole.

Another no month?

Weve been trying to get pregnant after a mc in October with no luck. (We also have an AMAZING Little boy who is 3 in June)

Im 12DPO today and did a test this morning but was negative, am I out of the game again?

I feel like giving up now, just cant keep putting myself through this any more, anyone else in the same boat? Im just so sad

Lh

When do you think I will ovulate? Have I missed my peak? So confused 😕 my highest reading was this morning but still classed as 'low' on premom. Any advice please? X
