Cervix position in 2ww - please help!

Hi, I am currently 10 days past 3 day transfer and really upset that for a second time it hasn't worked again. When putting in my pessary, I have noticed that my cervix has dropped really low and is hard to touch. On my last negative IVF this happened and now it looks like it is doomed again. Has ...

keeping reptiles when doing IVF/pregnant

Hi, I wonder if anyone has done IVF or become pregnant whilst having a Lizard as a pet. I know that reptiles carry bacteria particulary Salmonella and strict hygiene must be adhered too. I was about to choose my long awaited pet but also now about to start an IVF cycle.

Thank you

Dakota, i am really sorry that you have lost baby B and i am sending you lots of love and hugs. I am pleased for you that baby a is doing well but I know you must still have to grieve as it would be only natural.

Time will be a healer and you have to remain strong and fit for Baby a's sake.

Blimey Dakota, you really have got pregnant! I am so chuffing (very english northern expression) pleased for you. My best friend had twins through IVF and she had a lovely huge bump full of babies - they are gorgeous and yes keep her busy. Make sure you really rest and take things easy.
