Conceiving after birth (post infertility)

Hi, I’m just looking for some advice, I’m only 20 weeks pregnant atm with my first but we’ve had so many issues conceiving in the first place, it’s taken 6 constant years of trying with not even one positive test until this baby! (No losses thank god)

After a few years of trying with no success we did find out I have an under active thyroid and PCOS and got diagnosed as infertile but now I can’t be happier!

Everything said I know I haven’t gone through the birth yet and I do want to give my body the time to heal but honestly we’ve always wanted a big family and there’s so much anxiety about being able to conceive again.

I know after you give birth you’re most fertile which is great but I just don’t know how long that lasts. I obviously don’t want to get pregnant 6 weeks after I’ve given birth but if that’s the only choice so it doesn’t take 6 years again I would do it :/

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Period after IUD?

I had a copper iud inserted 5 weeks ago, I still haven’t had a period yet. How long did it take for you to get your period after insertion?

TTC with PCOS

I newly found out that I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant. I’m taking Letrozole, but haven’t started ovulating yet. I’m 22 and desperately want a baby. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

Fertility tracker success stories?

Hello mamas! I’m looking into fertility trackers (kegg, inito, etc.) after a year of failing to conceive. Does anyone have any success stories (negative reviews also welcome) to help me decide what might be best? TIA!

Any mommas gotten pregnant with IUD

Specifically copper IUD. If so, what happen did they take the IUD out or left it inside since it has no hormones.

tubes

so i’m getting my tubes out next month .. anyone else get their procedure done ?

Pre-Seed Success?

Has anyone had success with pre-seed lubricant? I’m so worried it will mess things up.

Copper IUD experiences

Can any moms share their experiences with the copper IUD? Side effects, any issues with removing, etc?

IVF abroad when you're black

I'm thinking of doing IVF in the Czech Republic as a single woman. I'm scared that racism may mean when I'm under the anesthetic, they start fiddling with my body as racial bias means they ignore boundaries/consent.

Any tips
No siblings, dead mother , father lives elsewhere. sure I can go with a friend but I really need some thinking beyond that.

IVF gifts

Hi, my sister in law is due to start her IVF treatment (ICSI) at the beginning of April. I want to put together a little gift hamper for her. Can anyone suggest some good useful things for me to it into it?
Thanks

Pull out method

Did you, or did you not get pregnant from it…

(I know, I know, I’m silly! I have 2 kids and am done! But myself and husband got carried away last night and now I’m freaking out)

IVF with PCOS

Hi, can anyone tell me about their experiences doing IVF with PCOS? I am due to start stims next week and worried about OHSS 😕 just looking for some advice and hear some experiences from those who have been there to put my mind at ease! ❤️

Experience with Epidural

So I’m about to be 39 weeks on Monday, my estimated due date is March 16th. I am planning on having an epidural but waiting until I’m about 6-7 cm dilated if possible and planning on if I need something to help with pain during labor until the epidural using IV meds. I was just curious I’m a FTM, and was wondering what was your guy’s experience with epidurals if you used one, I hear some women say it’s amazing, some say it didn’t work and only worked on one side, I’m just curious. And how bad was the pain from the injection and about how long did it take for it to be administered?

IVF - Not enough info

We had referral from GP and waited for 6 months for scan and blood test, as we decided finally was calling the clinic for booking consent calls they turned us away as referral was more tha 1 year ago.

They didn't share the information that the referral can expire and we need to do everything from scratch.

Now the earliest IVF cycle we can have is in August???

Did you have similar experience?
Will they withheld further important information throughout the process?
I will not trust the process if we will have these bump ahead.

Would you start again or just give up?

IVF chances of success

I am 32 yo and have unexplained infertility. I did my first retrieval. Retrieved 16 eggs, 9 fertilized, 4 embryos made it to Day 5 and are biopsied for PGT-A testing.
I am nervous and not sure if we will have success with FET or if I should do another retrieval.
