- Can someone else please tell me that they feel terrible at this stage too? I'm 32 weeks along with twins and suffering through fatigue, gas, heartburn, lightheadedness, hemorrhoids, a crotch that is swollen down to my knees, twinges of back pain,...
- Our doctor just told us that our twin Baby B (16 weeks) has a single umbilical artery, instead of two. 2/3 of the time this means nothing and the baby is fine. But I'm freaking myself out about the other things that could happen, namely that the...
- She went in for her C-section last Wednesday and I haven't heard a word. I'm starting to get worried. Six days of silence isn't that bad after a C-section, is it?
- I found out a week ago that I'm pregnant from IVF. My last period (highly controlled with the medication) was about 6 weeks ago. The ovulation/egg retrieval was four weeks ago. The embryo transfer (blastocyst stage) was three weeks ago. Which...
- Does anybody have any advice on dealing with suppository goo? Obviously I'm wearing a panty-liner, but I feel like it's a gooey diaper. Should I shop around for different shaped panty-liners, or is this as good as it's going to get?
- I'm in between the egg retrieval and embryo transfer stages of IVF, and by 5:00 p.m. every day I want to go to bed, or at least take a long nap. Remind me please that these are the hormones at work, and I'm not just being lazy. I just need a...
- Hi, friends,I've started birth control pills leading up to my second IVF. I'm about on Day 5, and this morning I woke up with a pain on the side of my breast. I don't feel a lump and it doesn't look abnormal. But when I move my arm and it...
- Has anyone ever had this? My pelvic floor muscles are so tense -- chronically -- that sex is very painful. I've had physical therapy for it, but it makes sex no fun. Even if it doesn't hurt for some reason, I have a hard time wanting to be...
- I've been going to Dominion Fertility (1 IVF and 1 IUI) but am now looking at Shady Grove. Shady Grove's stats seem to be so much better. Does anyone have any experience with the two of them and recommend/not recommend one?
- Hi, friends,I was reading CarrieAnn's inspirational description about what she wished people would know about infertility and woman (see her journal entry today, 2/12/08), and I thought I should send it to everyone I know to help them understand...
- I was talking to my psychologist about how depressed I feel -- sometimes I get waves of thinking that I can't go on another minute, or that something really bad is about to happen and I don't know what it is. She said I should ask my doctor about...
- Hey, all, I just got the call from the nurse that the IVF was negative this time. So I'm going to go have my second margarita. I wanted to let you all know because you've become like family to me. Thanks for all your support, which I guess I'm...
- I had my egg retrieval on Monday and my belly has been tender ever since (now it's 48 hours later). I could understand if it were just a lower abdomen thing around the ovaries, but it's pretty much the whole area from the belly button down to the...
- I went to Target tonight to get some clothes for a job interview tomorrow. The only thing that fit/looked good was a maternity dress. I got it. Now I'm conflicted because 1) I feel bad about my new hormonal body (in the middle of IVF shots AND...
- I'm doing IVF, started my stimulation medicine 3 days ago, and had my first ultrasound to see my eggs/follicles today. There seemed to be 3 follicles on my right side (doc said, "Perfect!") and then he didn't take any pictures of any on the left. ...
