Confirmed 1st BFP after almost 1yr TTC. Scheduled the prenatal visit for Sept. Anything I should do (or not do) in the early weeks / Anything that might be surprising but is normal? TIA!

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.

Doe's anyone else miss Covid pay👀🤷🏾‍♂️

How do you think climate change will impact insurance coverage in the future?

Any recommended pregnancy reads? I read expecting better which is mentioned on here a lot which was great for navigating Do’s and Dont’s. But any recommendations for a more holistic guide? I hear what to expect is a bit antiquated.

Trying not to be reactive here until my doctor calls, but… obviously can’t help it. My blood test today (28w) came back with results that are worrying me. My RBC and HCT are low (below the standard range) which would indicate slight anemia, but ferritin came back totally normal. This alone wouldn’t cause me too much concern, except that I have counts for NRBC, which seems like a bigger problem. Has anyone else gone through this?

I HATE meal prep - feels like eating leftovers every day. Any advice on quick meals? Food scale at the office, access to fridge and microwave, hate leftovers or reheating

Just did a presentation and I was the only person under 50 as well as the only POC... obviously it did not go well. Can anyone else relate? How do you overcome the anxiety?

Has anyone been sent an NDA prior to even a phone screening with a company?? In all my years I’ve never had to sign an NDA just for an interview, mind you this was the first thing they sent. Should I be as weirded out as I am or this is just normal? 😂

Can you have sex during ivf?

Has anyone here successfully fertilized frozen eggs?

Anyone use kindbody for fertility services? What was your experience? Im reading yelp reviews and most people complaining are doing so about the front desk or because they didn’t read the fine print on costs. 🙄Anyone have a good clinical experience and outcome?

Received PGT results today and am thrilled we do have normal embryos! So over the moon, I know we have a journey to go but celebrating this milestone! Sending all the positive wishes to all of you as well!

Trying to conceive for past few months with Endo and I’m so miserable. Endo wrecks me during ovulation/period, and I get diarrhea every time we try bc Endo makes me react to prostaglandins in sperm 😔

I am getting ready to start my first IVF cycle and I went in for baselines and I have a few cysts that haven’t cleared up. They want me to trigger immediately to start the cycle over again. Has this happened to anyone else? Fingers crossed I don’t miss the next IVF start date at my clinic!

Hi all!! Make here but wanted to repost after years of ivf and failures etc today we hit 14 weeks! Everyone here should be positive we had so many rough periods but finally are in a good place !!

Questions to make sure to ask at first egg freezing consult with RE? It’s my first time so I want to make sure I don’t miss anything!

I have some leftover meds (retrieval: men, gon, cet. And FET: est, prog, pio) that I’d like to donate. DM me if you have suggestions on where to donate please.

Just cannot get into my job lately. I don’t know if it’s the hormones, the upcoming FET transfer next week, or if I’m truly just over my company. I’ve been there 5 1/2 years. I started out as an executive assistant and last year I created a path for myself for communications. Almost a year into the role, a new manager was brought on, to my surprise. She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant

Hi, I’m 30yrs old and by next week I will be 31yrs old. Got married 2 yrs ago and we have been trying for kids from past 7 months but no luck, we try to have sex almost all 7 days of fertile window. I get my periods regularly, I don’t have thyroid nor PCOD. My Gyn did all test, and everything looks fine, my ovaries, Fallopian tubes , harmonies. Do I need to see fertility doctor ,if so, how is the best fertility doctor near Boston area. Need inputs for next steps before it’s too late 😒

T-4 days to my transfer day, any tips. We should be thinking of? I appreciate this community y’all have been uber helpful. I

I did not have a good retrieval and I’m having a hard time processing. This cycle took so much out of me, I don’t know if I can do it again. I just want to cry.

Starting to take letrozole again after a mms and d&c since my period came back and all. I am pretty nervous about conceiving again. I want to. Just it was so hard to go through that. Scared about reliving it. I know many women go through this, still very hard and the worry is amplified since I have experienced it…

Who’s done egg freezing? I’m about to start.

Sharing my story: I carry an abnormal gene in which me and my wife's first child was affected. We decided with our second child to use IVF. We started our journey in January 2021 and my wife went through 4 IVF cycles using my sperm in a 9 month span (her choice). We decided after the 4th round failed to go a different route and use sperm donation to rid us of the gene. During 2022, she went through 4 rounds of IUI and finally got one that stuck. She is now 14 weeks pregnant and due in April 😊
