We suffered a miscarriage this month that has really been sad for us. The week after the miscarriage, I went through ovarian torsion and major surgery where they cut into me like a C-section to fix it. Needless to say, it has been pretty awful. But despite all that, we want to try again as soon as I ...

(Sorry. Double entry)

Scott, your positive attitude and willingness to try again are inspiring after your disappointment. I hope the next round has wonderful results! I'm pulling for you both!

Thank you for having the courage to write, angelbaby. My heart just breaks for you. I appreciate you taking the time to tell what happened to you. We just found out our little baby died in utero yesterday. I had a D&C today and I came on this site looking for someone who has gone through this to ...

Thank you all for the info. I have to go in for a D&C tomorrow. We just found out today that our baby died at 10 weeks 1 day (today). We are devastated. I keep hoping it is some mistake and they will tell me tomorrow that there is a heartbeat after all--I'm panicked they won't check in advance to ...

I'm so sorry. I too just found out our child died. I was 10 weeks 1 day. I want to say something of comfort to you but all I can say is that I mourn with you and I'm sad too. You are not alone.

I'm so sorry for your losses, ssalgado. That has got to be such an up and down and very trying. I hope it works out the next time! If you don't mind me asking, at what week did you lose your BFPs? I worry about that happening. I've got my fingers crossed for you that it works this time for you!!

I have PCOS too and bad. Didn't respond to Clomid but do respond to pure pituitary hormone. 2 failed IUIs and husband does have low sperm count too. First round of IVF produced 39 follicles and many were really good. We did ICSI and got something like 13 fertlized eggs. So, we were happy. On ...

Oh no, danielle, that's terrible! I hope you get feeling better soon.

I've had constipation too and tho' it's nowhere close to what you're feeling, I find that drinking TONS of fluid helps. I drink sports drinks, Smart Water (which my doctor recommended for the electrolytes), V8, whatever I can ...

I'm so glad this topic has been brought up. The after effects of retrieval are so incredibly downplayed. I wish that I had known just how much I would have to go through, if nothing else but to prepare mentally for it. Like you all, some major pain. I have hyperstimulation bad. How long has it ...

I'm 3 weeks post transfer with a BFP (YAY!) and I'm on an oral version of the progesterone. I was taking it three times a day up until transfer with no side effects. Then it got cut back down to one after BFP. I just place 5 ml of it under my tongue and wait for it to dissolve, swallow the rest. I ...

Is it okay? I like soda but haven't had any since we started IVF. Now I'm 5 weeks pregnant and wanted to know if it would be dangerous for the pregnancy.

Thanks so much for all the info. I've been drinking protein shakes but wasn't sure if it was safe. But RE says it's ok, so I'll keep going. You're lucky it's only 2 weeks for you. I'm three and counting. My doctor said I'll reach a peak and then start to taper. I've started to taper but I sure wish ...

Because of my high risk for hyperstimulation, my doctor only wanted to insert one embryo. We too were a bit disappointed because we wouldn't mind twins. But one embryo was enough b/c I found out a week ago that I'm pregnant! So, one can definitely work! So much luck to you!!!

My infertility doc specifically said that moist heat can help with bloating and hyperstimulation symptoms and that was during my 2ww. So, take that for what it's worth. I find the heating pad a bit relieving but I'm careful to not leave it on for more than 10 or 15 minutes.
