Donating eggs??

Has anyone donated eggs? I want to explore looking at it. As I wanted more children but I feel like I've been emotionally hurt a lot in my marriage I'm not sure if I want any more children with him. But if I can help someone else use my eggs then I would feel like it was for something. I'm also nervous about getting pregnant bc each pregnancy I've felt like I was being played behind my back of things being revealed to me. The vulnerable time just kills me and I don't think I can do it again.

I’ve never donated. But it was an option that was presented to me as I had a low egg count. We didn’t end up going that route but I know someone who did. And they are thankful everyday for their beautiful little baby.

I did go through IVF so I can speak on getting my eggs harvested. The side effects were not too bad for the egg harvesting and I had to avoid lifting anything heavy at that time to avoid a twisted ovary. Other than some swelling it wasn’t too bad for me personally. And then rest after they harvested cause it is a surgery. Other than that I think you just do what is best for you.

Ivf mom here, this is a great option. You do need to look into the rules, there are age restrictions and others. If your serious don’t wait look into it. But also be prepared for a ton of doctor appointments, shots, and so many internal ultrasounds. Also please look into the laws around ivf where ever you live.

Not trying to scare you away, many moms wouldn’t get a chance to be moms without donations.

Line or no line

Hey, I took two tests yesterday one digital, one pink one and this morning I took the blue test. This morning I only took the blue test because of the fact the pink one kind of looked like there was a faint line. I’m also IUD so I was wondering if it could be because of that, but I asked Alexa and she told me no.
I was wondering if someone else could also see these lines through a photo.

I’m also 2y and 1 m postpartum 🫶🏾

Sex

Hey Ladies. I have avoided having sex since I saw the positive test! I am now 13 weeks and just need other mamas to tell me it will be ok 🫣 I have had lots of losses in the past, never made it this far so I am just overall cautious. My pregnancy is all tracking normal, scans have looked fab and no one has said I can’t (I cannot go a whole 9 months😅) thanks girlies xx

Faint line or evaporated line?

Do yall think this is a positive? I’m very in denial idk why. Gonna take another one in the morning.

BD

Has anyone had any success from going from BDing around LH peak to BD every 2 days throughout the cycle?
After many many months of TTC using apps/LH strips and only BD on those days I’m thinking maybe it could be a timing issue. It’s hard to break away from locking into those set days though. I don’t want to ‘miss the chance’ but equally, it’s not working.

Positive?

Hi, im currently TTC.
These are my tests at 16dpo
Digital says negative. I feel they’re so faint, could this be a chemical ?
