Maybe a good idea to pop into your GYN? Explain what problems you are having with AF. There could be a number of reasons - it could be normal (I sometimes pass clots - but admittedly not so much ) or could be something like Endometriosis (I heard people have this problem with that ). No harm to get ...

Really good to hear that Ellie is doing fine and good to see how beautiful she is. Hard to believe..almost a year! Hard to also believe that within one year I have had an IVF BFN and a natural pregnancy!

Tale care, Bekki

We called her Sandra. She is a challenge right now - she never drinks out the full bottle amounts and needs 7 feedings a day (every 3 hours - it was every two at one point ). We have also been in and out of the docs as her head is a little flat on one side - so far no bad news, just a preference in ...

Not been on the site for yonks - but just to let you know that I gave birth to a baby girl in August. I have been so busy with her that I have had no time for here. just thought I would pass on the news. Bekki xx

Well - to those who remember me - I gave birth to a baby girl on 13th August of this year! She is up until now healthy and hopefully for the future too. have not been on the site for yonks as I have been busy with the new little one. Just thought I would pass on the news. Never give up ladies ...

Hi there,

When the doctors place the embryo(S) in the uterus they do not implant it. It will take a week to a few days to implant on its own (depending on whether you have a two - three day transfer or a blastocyst transfer ). In the time that the embryo(s) is developing further ready for ...

Jill,

I am very sorry to have heard the news. Having been through IVF myself only to get a BFN - I know how it feels. Yes, take some time out and try not to think about IVF whilst you have your time off - it helped Bubble and I. Switch off completely and concentrate on relaxing, maybe taking a nice ...

OOO Bubble I forgot to answer an important question that you asked ..At my prenatal diagnostic scan that I had on 02nd April they asked us if we wanted to know if its a boy or girl.. and we said we want to have a SURPRISE - soyou will not know, and we wil not know until it is born!!!!

Hugs, Bekki ...

Yep I have strted wearing some maternity clothes. Well with the normal maternity clothes I have seen some pretty disgusting styles, so I have been buying normal clothes but a few sizes bigger!!! I am also going through a phase where I cannot stop eating Pizza. I have a day off work today and I had ...

@ Ann.. the same thing happened to me - my doctor did not really care about my welfare - was just more interested in making money from IVF. He pushed me into IVF before recommending I have my right tube checked for any possible blockages etc... All the docs want (well most IVF Docs ) is MONEY ...

BUBBLE!!!!!!!WOW!!!!! oh yes I still remember you!!!

Bubble sorry for the late reply. I have been busy my end - Congratulations!! this is awesome !!! we have both been blessed!!! I am now 5 and a half months pregnant - I do not fit into my clothes anymore and I have put on 7 kilos already!!!! I had ...

My husband is German too and I am also from th UK originally! and it sounds like we are in the same boat - my doctor never spoke English either and the normal Frauenarzt that I am seeing now and who is helping me through the pregnancy does not speak English. Noone in the hospital (where I will give ...

Just an after thought...If you and your husband do not have german I could find a web-site and provide you with a translation?

In the Kinderwunsch Klinik I attended in Berlin - freezing embryos was definately an option and I think one of the only Clinics doing gentic testing (as that is fairly new in germany ) . It has won several awards for some of the technology and methods for IVF it uses - it is fairly up to date with ...

Heya, I live in Fuerstenwalde Spree near Berlin.

In October 2006, my husband and I tried out first round of IVF. The German Krankenkasse pay 50% of the cost. If you are insured privately as opposed to "gesetzlich", I think it is as good as free. We are not insured privately so had to pay 50% of the ...
