We are currently in the blood test and every other test stage! Seems like so many things to do - just hoping the latest COVID restrictions don’t delay us too much!

Avatar

Yes I’ve just got my dates for October to and my prescription for all my meds ordered. This is my second time of doing it so fingers crossed. I hope everything goes well for you x

Hi mica I am in Spain waiting for my phone call from the clinic for my ivf with a donor with eggs so excited and nervous at the same time 🤞 🙏

Avatar

Update we start on 28th September if period arrives on time/if a miracle hasn’t happened! Shit scared and obwewhelmed x

Avatar

My little embryos will be tomorrow and then go for my ivf on 29th 😊🙏

Avatar

Yes, will be starting soon. Just got all our labs done and received our paperwork. I agree, definitely overwhelming.

Just got my bfp after 5 rounds of IVF. I’ve made it my passion now to share my story to help others going through it. Wish you every bit of success with your journey lovely xx

I start in 2 weeks 😍 so scared to give my self injections

Avatar

I just booked my consult and feel like I have to wait forever to get the process started. What should I expect?!

Avatar

You’ve got this! I felt the same way when I started. IVF is no joke and the road can take some surprising turns (...believe me) but you’re stronger then you know. I’m on my 3rd round of egg collection after what I thought would only be 1 round and then I would be able to PGS and transfer. These last several months have been some of the most emotional. Make sure to cut yourself some slack during this time. Your baby is coming. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Avatar

Bloods and paper work done, nurses appointment done, dr rings on the 7/10 than we wait for period than we start out shots shots shots 💕😂😍
Than egg pick up 💕
But since HSG test my periods haven’t come anyone self have this problem?

Avatar

I am all set to have required infectious blood tests to start treatment and a consult on Thurs to plan for treatment but I am having so much anxiety about it right now!! Part of me is thinking if we should try one more month on our own (reason for IVF mainly age related, and trying unsuccessfully for 10 months)....I feel like I have conflicting advice of “dont wait too long if nothing is happening” and also “keep trying naturally a couple more months...it takes time” .... I don’t know if I should just go ahead with the consult to talk to the doctor again for another expensive pep talk on what to do.

I had both my baby boys via IVF and happy to answer any questions 🙂

How much is IVF? Does anyone insurance help?

I’m waiting to start my period to start meds for IVF.

Retrieval tomorrow!

Avatar

Hi all! Joined this group after feeling very isolated on our ivf journey, friends didn’t get it or understand the pressure which has left me feeling anxious and like I need someone who gets it :(
Anyone else had this?

We’re all here to support each other. I’ve had great support from friends and family but it’s good to talk to people that really Understand. x

I’m just starting on my IVF journey and currently waiting to be accepted into a program they have a waitlist though for January

My best friend is delivering her FET baby tomorrow. She has been through so much. Was overstemulated her first IVF and lost both her ovaries and was on last ditch effect life support. She had to have her stomach open for 5 day because of the amount of fluid in her body. She pulled through and they had gotten 5 embryos. After 6 months of healing she had a FET and got pregnant with her now 5 year old son who was born 4 weeks early because she started accumulating fluid in her lungs. Now the same thing is happening. So this baby will have to come 5 weeks early but baby is nice and big at over 8lbs. So pray everything works out.

My husband is currently fixed. I’m dying to get pregnant with our miracle baby. What’s the best fastest and cheapest way to do so? All advise would be appreciated!! Would like to leave him fixed if possible. This has been heavy on our hearts for the last year. PLEASE somebody help with any and all advise. We are located in central California. Thank you!!

We’re starting next month. 🤞

I just started with the egg retrieval process. On 3 shots daily. Was very apprehensive about it, but it’s not so bad. Will have blood test n ultrasound on 3rd day after meds. Hoping things go according to timeline n no hiccups on the way. 🤞🏻

Hello everyone wondering if any one can give me information about getting an IVF! I live in Virginia, I am a mother of two girls and I really want to have a boy this time.I got my twins girls through IVF but it was overseas and it was cheaper,, now with the coronavirus I can’t travel anywhere. I asked couple of places and it’s very expensive it’s over $ 20,000 so any advice please

Anybody on here going though a frozen cycle we already had a fresh Cycle but unfortunately did not work for me my body was saying no so hopefully this time round my body will say yes time will tell.

Avatar

How is going on your end?

Avatar

Hi, I started my injections today. 🙏🏾💕

Avatar

Just had the egg retrieval on Monday. 14 eggs and as of yesterday, 13 fertilized.
We are doing genetic testing and the will do the frozen embryo transfer sometime in the very near future. I think in about two months it sounds like. All very new and the stimulation injections really scared me but by the last few days, it got easier!! You got this and you would be suprised at how strong the mind is! Good luck 🥰🥰🥰

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
