Postpartum mental health

Pregnancy envy.

hope this doesn’t upset anyone who is currently in the process of the whirlwind that is infertility

So, I have a baby which we were blessed with through IVF. I’m forever grateful for this wonderful piece of science and I count my blessing every day.

I do however still feel serious envy and almost bitterness toward people that are announcing pregnancies. I just feel so angry that me and my husband had to go through all that we went through to get our baby when it’s so easy for others.

Why am I feeling so sad when I have my beautiful daughter? I feel ungrateful even thinking like this…

I suppose i also fear that I may not ever get to experience pregnancy again, who knows.

Egg quality and how to improve

Hey everyone just had my follow up today from a failed IVF in June with only one 1cc embryo transfer from 7 fertilised eggs. They’ve said due to my age (37) that my egg quality is poor and that I could try supplements to improve this for next time we try again in 3 months. They’ve suggested DHEA and CoQ10. Has anyone been in the same situation and been able to improve the quality of eggs for successful result and what did you take ?

Trying for a baby

Negative test but still be pregnant

Has anyone been one these anomalies where you’ve tested negative for pregnancy. I’m currently a week late and still no sign of my period. I’ve always been regular and this is as abnormal for me to be this late. 2 weeks ago I had water discharge with pink tinge and thought that this could be implantation as never seen it before.
