If you are having a hard time staying positive during preconception, then put up note cards with positive words and phrases on them. At least you will read them and your brain will take note of them several times a day. Place one on your bathroom mirror, on your computer, in your car, taped to the ...

I believe that staying positive is vital for a woman’s physical and emotional well-being. Staying positive reinforces to your body healthy thoughts and emotions. Positive thinking attracts positive actions into one’s life. Negativity is a stress on the body. Stress hormones really play into the role ...

The pressure to raise a family can be enormous, and the thought of not being able to have children can make many people feel something is wrong with them. A fertility problem may be one of the most difficult challenges you'll ever face. It's normal to feel a monumental sense of loss, to feel ...

Hi Vikky! My congratulations to you and your dh! I'm so glad you joined us! I really wanted to talk to someone who used donor eggs. I'm so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one who was uncertain about the procedure. Now my husband is fully on board. He thinks that it is perfect option for us ...

You're welcome! I'm happy this info is as helpful as it was for me when I've just found it. My congratulations with your pregnancy! This is so nice to talk to someone who understands what I feel! You're reading my mind. My dh has no doubts at all! Oh dear I'm reading your words and it seems like ...

I feel exactly the same now as you did before the pregnancy. I hope with my whole heart everything will change for me as well. I want to finally start enjoying my life, feeling happy and making my husband happy. Sadness and hate inside me is just destroying me and my life. I'm tired to feel sorry ...

Hello everyone! Thank you for your kind responses. I was thinking about de for a really long time. Now I know that I really want to have de ivf. I'm comforted that you are feeling the same as I am. I really needed someone to listen to me and to hear me. Every single one of my close friends is ...

Hello OP! Are you using yours or donor eggs? I had IVF with donor eggs, but I think the procedures are pretty the same. I believe success depends on woman as well. The carrying mom needs a strong uterus and overall physique. To prepare I took and am taking prenatal vitamins and eating mostly whole ...

I'm so sorry you faced such situation. Stress and sometimes "trying too hard to conceive" may actually play a role in up to 30% of all infertility problems. Stress can hamper ovulation. No amount of sperm will make a difference if the woman's body hasn't released an egg. The explanation of what ...

Hi everyone! It’s nice to see so many stories with happy ending on this forum. I’m lucky I found this thread as I had de ivf a couple of months ago. It was interesting to read about good and bad aspects of clinics which you used. First of all I should say when I first read about a clinic we used I ...

Hello OP! I underwent IVF treatment. I used donor eggs. I'll try to answer your questions, basing on my own experience. Price for IVF depends on so many things. First of all where do you live? It would be easier to give advice, knowing where you located. If you're planning to go abroad, you should ...

Hi dear! I have some experience in this whole de ivf thing so I'll try to help. First of all I want to say that I'm sorry about your diagnosis. I understand your confusion. This is so hard when you face infertility and nothing helps. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19 yo. I've been in ...

I'm currently looking for information about ivf with donor eggs, where and how it can be done, etc. I'm 36 yo and I was diagnosed with premature menopause. I'm new to all this donor stuff and I also have some doubts. I was not sure how will I feel about my baby if it's from donor. I read many ...

I think you are very wise to think ahead! Because the carrying mom needs a strong uterus and overall physique, to prepare I took and am taking prenatal vitamins and eating mostly whole foods. I’m also more careful with my sugar intake. I just cut back on sugar, and actually didn't miss it much as I ...
