She wants to inform them about her pregnancy; is it right time to inform? Or she needs to wait for 6 more months for that to inform? Anyone please clearify..

So sorry you are dealing with that. You are definitely not alone. It’s just not something people talk about much. Try to be patient and know everyone has a different journey. It will all work out. ❤️
Oh and make sure you’re using an app to help track!
True I love the app Glo
Had two IVF babies. Am heterosexual. My advice is don’t wait to see an RE and don’t listen to people who tell you to relax etc.
Me too I’m basically an RE now!
I soooo understand what you are going through. It took us 2 years (and ovulation kits did nothing because I wasn’t ovulating). I tried acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Chlomid, went to an IVF clinic for an evaluation where they told me I was a ‘perfect candidate’ and had enough ‘eggs to share’ so I said why am I here then? Finally my sister in law out in LA said to try Letrozole. Chlomid works in 80% of women, and letrozole for the other 20%. We finally got pregnant in November of 2016. And I lost the baby in December of 2016. A very very hard road and it seemed everyone around me had babies/was pregnant etc. hardest time of my life. But in March 2017 we got pregnant again and I had my son in December 2017. And all that pain we endured was worth it. Then when we tried for #2, it happened again, I lost twins in December of 2018. But just a few months later got pregnant with #2 and we are due in 6 weeks. It’s hard. It’s different for everyone. And no matter what people say it doesn’t help. And I did give up at some point. But there’s hope. Please feel free to reach out I’d be happy to chat with you more.
Sending love - you are not alone. I’ve been trying to conceive for baby 2 for over a year and failed. Finally uncovered a major medical issue I had to have addressed/surgery. Now am pregnant finally. It will happen. It’s been a very emotional year for me so I 100% get it. You are doing all the right things. Stay strong!
I’m gay so we did ivf, but I was shocked by how many people in the fertility clinic waiting room were straight couples. I saw one or two gay couples in a year there. You are not alone, so many people struggle.
Assuming you’re tracking your ovulation via strips and temps on a BBT, with no luck still....seek help from a specialist early. Don’t wait the 6 or 12m because it can take months to get an appointment. The struggle is hard for a lot of us getting pregnant and staying pregnant. Know you’re not alone. We stand and cry with you ❤️
My thyroid was normal for life but low for pregnancy! Got on synthroid during fertility treatments!
❤️ to you. It’s just...hard. All of it, but especially this part. Sending you all the pregnancy vibes.
Surround yourself with babies. I know this sounds like some old school advice but has worked for people I know as well as Iman. And don't give up no matter how much failure you face. https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2016011329213/iman-and-david-bowie-conceived-alexandria-with-the-help-of-friend-christie-brinkley/
No. This kind of advice stresses me out. There is nothing for OP to “do.” It’s science and it’s chance and it’s not something to be treated so lightly as to pass on stupid wives tales. It can be very, very stressful and emotional - so you are not helping with this stuff.
And, if she is undergoing IVF or other fertility services, there is absolutely a time when giving up is appropriate. And it’s not effing “giving up,” it’s choosing a different path and it’s as valid as continuing to try. This “never give up” crap puts so much pressure on women and discounts the effects of this process on mental health, marriages, and financial well-being.
Wondfo ovulation kit on amazon is very helpful.
It took us 3 years to get pregnant. Reach out if you want to chat. I get it. So much. We are struggling again to get pregnant again.
Hang in there... it also took us almost 4 years.. depending how long you’ve been trying and your age it can be worth chatting with a fertility specialist after 6 mos (over 35). Baby dust...
I'm sorry you are going through this! Have you heard of the Ava fertility watch? Check it out if interested.
Yes I used it to prevent but then I used it to conceive and it worked faster than I thought.
