I desperately need advice on how to correct hyperpigmentation on my face. I have combination skin leading more towards the oily side and sensitive, acne prone skin. Pimples are not new to me but scarring wasn’t a concern until recently. One day the pimples appear, stay for a few days, and then leave ugly dark red marks. I’m looking for more than covering with makeup.

I’m 16 weeks and my doctor recommended AFP testing to determine neural defects. We already did NT and NIPT which came back low risk. She said it’s to determine if we need to be doing an early anatomy scan sooner than 20 weeks. Anyone else done the AFP testing? It caught me by surprise because she hadn’t mentioned it at any of our prior appointments

Hi. I have very low AMH, 36 years old & never have been pregnant. I have done 2 IVF cycles this year approx 5 months apart. Each time had only 2 eggs retrieved, 1 fertilization each which lead to the embryo reaching blastocyst stages both times & both came back normal after genetic testing 🤍 talk about beating the statistics odds! 🤞🏻 I now have 2 cutie embryos saved. My husband & I would love to have twins and will be speaking to my doctor about the best options. Twins thoughts?

Does anyone have experience with surrogacy? If so, how did you find an agency or surrogate?

I did some ivf shopping and now I don’t know which one to choose. One is a university affiliated ivf center and the other one is a local /not a chain fertility center. I am open to suggestions and so overwhelmed.

First IUI cycle failed. 🙃 I hate everything

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

Freezing your eggs, is it worth it? Both in terms of the toll on your body and the aftermath

35 female here. 7!months TTC. Going on 8. Had consultation with fertility specialist today. Is it normal to feel hopeful and dejected at the same time?

My husband did his semen analysis last week and his morphology came out to be low i.e. 2 (normal range 2.5 to 4). He had done it couple of times few years ago and results were great. My doctor said I should check with fertility clinic for assessment. The appointments are not available immediately. Wanted to get guidance on these results. Anyone has been in a similar boat? Are these results really scary? His motility seems to be fine. Do these results fluctuate? Hope to hear back. Thank you!

I'm getting ready to do a cycle and found out I have a large cyst on one side. Anyone else go through this? Drugs or surgery?

Our first miscarriage at 6 weeks and we are overwhelmed by grief. I don’t know how we’re to go through each day now, knowing we have lost our little one. I’m not sure how we’re supposed to try again. There is no way I can go through this loss a second time. I’m not as strong as you all on this channel, you keep trying. I’m in awe.

I’m in my TWW and just found out I had close contact with someone with Covid. As if I needed more to stress about! 🤞 I stay negative and our little embaby is sticking!

Has anyone experienced repeat early miscarriage and chemical pregnancies with PGS tested embryos? Had 3 so far, all good quality embryos (AA or AB) and lining always looked good (>9mm, trilaminar). Also tested TSH levels and those are good. Seems really unusual, trying to figure out if there’s something I’m missing.

I tested my embryo and got a “no result “. Anyone with success stories ?

How long did it take to bleed after a 10 cycle of provera? I just finished day 10 yesterday.

After my HSG and SHG I now have to do an MRI of my pelvis because the RE wants a better picture of one of the fibroids. They said if it is pushing into my uterine wall then it needs to be surgically removed. And if that’s not the problem then IVF is the next step. But I don’t want to do IVF nor can I afford to. 😔

What can I expect as a husband of someone going through IVF?
