I had transfer on 5th march. This is my second IVF. But my first fet. This is the hardest thing ever as I found last time and this time so far, during the 2ww you feel constantly like you are doing everything wrong. Good luck to everyone. :-) x

We are doing TI with stims. Had trigger at 945pm on Wednesday. Well since I woke up ive been in a lot of pain that doesn't go away, I'm hoping that a good sign. I only have one tube due to ectopic three years ago, husband is fine but I had to have blockage removed from my last tube we waited over six months to try stims again. I don't recall this much pain. I know I'm ovulating but hoping and praying this is it because we can't afford ivf:( wish we could because my right ovary is doing great with follicle size and five mature but on the left, the one that counts only one mature and one at 15+ so please pray for us. We've been trying for six years, one ectopic. Thanks ladies.

Me - 1 tube had blockage removed, ectopic lost right tube, secondary infertility was 1st diagnosis
Husband - good

I had an IUI 11 days ago.  I have been on the fertility shots and HGC trigger shot before the IUI.  I have felt tired, nausea and tender breasts all week and this morning I started bleeding....started to bleed lightly today.  I do feel crampy but I am hoping it could still be that I am pregnant.  Is this my period or pregnancy....still trying to keep hopeful that I was able to concieve.

Hi,

Just joined this forum, after 8 years of trying. I am now pregnant via an ivf donor. My transfer was at day 5 last July 30, not sure how far along I am and have an ultra sound scheduled on 8/23. After the blood results on my 2nd blood test came back good, my husband asked the nurse if we could start celebrating and the nurse said not yet. Just asking for prayers and positive thoughts until my next ultra sound please.

I am going for my first IUI next month, due to unexplained infertility, doctor perform another test on my husband's sperm, my doctor found out that my husband have antisperm antibody, but he didn't say anything as I have to go through IUI before IVF, is anyone having similar problem like us and go through IVF straight away ? I did some research on internet, those sperm contain antisperm antibody is unlikely to fertile an egg, I am a bit disappointed why doctor didn't carryout all necessary test at one go so save time and money. I need some advise from you if you have similar case like me. Thanks.

Hello!
My hubby and I have been trying for babies since 2005. I am very optimistic so I've never reached that point where I felt like I would never be able to have children. I kind of always figured it would happen when the time was right.  I had endometriosis removed in April of 2009. My doctor told me to see him in four months if I wasn't pregnant because he had more tricks up his sleeve. By the time the four months came I felt irritated that I wasn't pregnant and I didn't want to waste anymore time at the clinic. I convinced myself that kids were too much work anyway and my husband and I should just vacation a few times a year instead. Well, this year my husband mentioned the possibility of adoption. I reminded him what the doctor said on our last visit. So, here I am on day 10 of Lupron injections. I start FSH on Saturday and then an IUI to follow. Hopefully this whole thing will work first time around. I'm actually a bit embarrassed because I haven't done much research, I'm trusting the doctor knows what he's doing. :o)

If you are in maternity live...PLEASE READ!

call your humane resources if you work or your medicaid office or just your health insurance within 1 MONTH to enroll your baby in the health insurance program.

By the federal law    ( which is stupid) if you dont  do this, your child will be uncovered until the next health benefits enrollment in your job or so.

It just happened to me... i missed the  30 days and now my baby is out of health insurance and i have to pay $190 out of my pocket per month to have my newborn cover by Blue cross blue shield...PLEASE ADVISED ALL YOUR  FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITUATION...

Hi, I'm new to the site. I started reading through a bunch of posts here to try to get to know you all, then I saw how long it was, and it would have taken quite awhile, lol. I did notice a couple of you having irregular cycles and not ovulating, these can be signs of PCOS, which I have. It's a syndrome so no 2 cases are the same. You don't even have to have cysts to have it! For some it can make it very hard to lose weight, other possible symptoms are chin hair, no AF etc. It basically screws with your hormones. 10-15% of women have it, and it varies in severity. Some of you may want to google this to see if any of it sounds familiar. Remember you don't need any particular symptom to have it. It's very manageable, but if you don't know you may be spinning your wheels. Someone also asked about safe ways to combat constipation, and I take wheatgrass each morning. I suffer chronic constipation and haven't had to use a laxitive since! Best of all it's safe during pregnancy. Sorry this post is quite long. LOL. I'm currently 10 dpo and going a bit nuts in the 2WW. I'm on Metformin, wheatgrass, fertibella, baby aspirin, organic prenatals, Maca root, and prayers. Hope I can join your group. I'm not doing IVF or other assisted things yet, but think it may be in my future, is this for anyone TTC?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I personally do not have any experience with premature ovulation. It doesn't seem to be very common. How big were you follicles when they ovulated, and after how many days of stimming?
