Natural pregnancy after IVF?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone being able to get pregnant naturally after a successful IVF pregnancy with MFI? We are thinking in trying naturally as it supposed to get easier to get pregnant naturally after having a baby, so I was wondering if there is any positive stories out there? X

I’m interested to know how it’d be easier with mfi? I understand pregnancy changes a women’s body but it doesn’t do anything to a man’s so not sure how it’d change anything?

We’re ttc our second have been since April so weve gone through all the tests again and they’ve all come back practically the same as pre pregnancy (3 years ago) and we’ve been told ivf to be our only option (just like last time)

oh I see what you mean. We’ve had this conversation recently with our doctor as they’re considered ‘improved’ because what they thought wasn’t necessarily possible is possible because it only takes one good sperm and a positive pregnancy proves that there is that 1 good sperm somewhere .

We was told we had basically no chance of pregnancy back in 2022 after 18 months of trying because of my husbands sperm count was very low and very poor but they couldn’t offer ivf because of my age and we’d have to go private , the same day we had a call to discuss this after raising funds I got a positive pregnancy test (without ivf) so it’s definitely possible just takes time . We’ve been told again recently after my scans/blood tests and husbands semen analysis that everything’s come back the same as it did in 2022 so we now have to decided between wait and hope or paying for ivf but as my doctor says literally every time I speak to him ‘it only takes one good sperm’

fingers crossed for you! My husband’s massively changed his lifestyle over the past 2 years and has been taking the recommended supplements but unfortunately it’s done absolutely nothing for him and he’s got a 3.4mil/ml sperm count but of an awful quality we’ve been told post pregnancy we have about a 5% chance of pregnancy within a year 🤦🏼‍♀️ better than the 1% we had pre pregnancy though !

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.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
