Does IVF increase the chances of special needs?

So my sister in law (partners sister) had a baby through IVF and he is now showing traits of autism (non verbal, lining up toys, doesn't respond to his name, repetitive behaviour patterns etc). I know it is still very early and he could just be a slower baby as he is almost 2 and half years old. My partner then sa...

Line strong enough?

Hi all, Is this line strong enough for being 4 days late? we have been trying for 3 years and have had 3 failed ivf transfers, and this happened naturally, which we can’t believe. We are very cautious so any reassurance would be appreciated.

Removing iud

I’m thinking about having my iud removed to try for another baby. Has anyone had experience with doing this? Is there a long waiting period before possibly conceiving? I’m also wanting it removed because my periods have been terribly long & very heavy, which isn’t my norm.

Our successful transfer, resulting in our child was a 5AA and we had a miscarriage with our 4AB.

2 embryos or 1 for transfer

I’m currently on meds for our next FET in a couple weeks time. We have 2 embryos, 1 is a day 6. When we had our consultation I asked if we should transfer both of them but it was recommended to us just to transfer 1 but ultimately it was our decision to make. We decided to go with the recommendation from the consult...
