Do you support IVF?

I saw a discussion elsewhere that discussed mostly religious people saying they disagree with IVF because it’s “playing god” and “unnatural.” There were people in that discussion that can’t conceive naturally and they say that’s just god’s will so they wouldn’t do IVF.

I imagine these people expect anyone struggling with infertility to adopt all the babies from forced pregnancies. E.g- dickheads 😂 As someone who went through IVF, a. Adoption is not just an easy option and b. I don't expect or want fertile women to keep unwanted pregnancies for my sake.

Yes. So long as it doesn’t also involve donor material.

Not done having babies

Does anyone else feel like they’re not done having babies? I’ve definitely got a touch of the baby blues, of course I’m so so grateful to have my baby here safe and healthy. However, I’m missing the pregnancy and everything that comes with it.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to say I’m done having babies. But my partner is adamant this is the last (however he said this after our last 2 🙈🤣)

I’m interested to know how you and your partners navigated this?

Raising a mixed baby without father's cultural influence

Hiya,

My son is half Indian and I am Puerto Rican. My ex and I do not speak, nor do I speak with any of his family members. I don't know what I'm doing in regards to his cultural heritage and I really don't want him to grow up missing a part of himself. I would love to expose him to his other side, but I don't know where to start. Has anyone been through this before? Do you have any advice?

No period but still negative tests

My period is 3 days late. Yesterday morning I had a negative test, this mornings was invalid, then this afternoon negative again.
I’m getting awful cramping and nausea.
My periods were 29 day cycles until I took the pill for a month a year ago, then went to 32 day cycles until a chemical pregnancy in March, then back to 29 day cycles.
Has anyone had a negative tests with a period that late but actually been pregnant and had a viable pregnancy?
Thank you

One and done

Hi! I’m 26 y/o and I’m 35 weeks and due in August! I have been anxious throughout this pregnancy and now I’m diagnosed with GAD. I have been wondering if I won’t be able to do this whole pregnancy thing again with a toddler running around. I feel like that’s it. I want to do one and done, also, because of financial reasons as well. In my head, it just doesn’t seem feasible, mentally and financially, that I’d like to have more babies.
