I have had 2 c sections and I can say that it gets easier every time. With my first one I was not even able to stand up straight for awhile. With number 2 I was up walking the same day that I had him. Ithink that is because the tissue and nerves have already been cut into before. And I also knew ...

I was told not to ice before injecting progesterone, because the cold does not allow the medication to absorb into the muscle. Ask your MD for a lidocaine cream to numb the area prior to injecting. I was told to apply heat to the area before and after injecting to prevent build up in the muscle ...

My MD says that the baby will be fine. I am now 13 weeks. I fortunately could afford to lose a few pounds. I ...

I also had a very difficult and uncomfortable transfer. The RE had a hard time "finding" my cervix. I have a "deep" vag. and a tilted uterus. My first cycle was a BFN. We decided to do a trial transfer, and my doctor got his "directions" to my uterus. Then we did an FET that produced a BFP. I am now ...

I am now 8 weeks pregnant with one baby. I have heard that morulas are better. I am not too sure of the reasoning, but it ...
