Hi ladies, I'm getting ready to go my first IUI using donor sperm and 75iu of Gonal F. I'm only 24 and don't have any known issues, our problem is male factor.

I thought I was close to 8 weeks although DH and I are not sure exactly when I had af last. When I went yesterday I measured 5 weeks 6 days. The PA did not seem overly concerned since I was not definite of my last cycle and she said I could have O'd late. They are doing bw and I will go back next...

Hi! This is my first post here. Seems like a great place. I had my first ultrasound yesterday. Saw a perfect 6 week 4 day little bean with a great hearbeat. OB saw a cyst on my right ovary. Said it was very normal for pregnancy but mine was a little large so they're gonna look again in a month and...

Ladies - could really use some words of encouragement and positive success stories for anyone who experienced an irritable uterus or was hospitalized with preterm labor. I am currently in the hospital after having some cramping yesterday, I called my dr this morning, who put me on the NST...

Not sure if this is okay to post here...so I hope no one minds. Where are you buying your maternity clothes? I'm sick of Motherhood/A Pea in the Pod. Target, Kohl's and JCP seem to have very poor quality. Come to think of it, so is Motherhood and A Pea in the Pod. All the clothing seems...

Hi Ladies I'm pregnant with a healthy singleton and a couple of days short of 14 weeks and am still dreadfully nauseous. Usually starts around 11am and gets worse through the day and into the evening. And if I don't get a good night's sleep I have it all day. Have been told it should stop at 12,...

Hi, I'm 5.5w pregnant after IVF. This morning I woke up to heavy bleeding and clots. We went to the ER where they tested my HCG and did an ultrasound. Everything came back totally normal and on track with no signs of where the bleeding was coming from. Has anyone else dealt with something like...

I had my 6 week scan on Friday and much to my surprise, we saw 2 gestational sacs, one with a definite fetal pole and heartbeat and the other with just a yolk sac. Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what your outcome was. I would be thankful for one healthy baby of course, but...

I am new to the boards. Following a missed period (apparently due to a short term medication I was given) and negative beta, my husband and I are now actively planning to TTC and considering what steps we should be taking prior to doing so. I have already seen my dr. and had a pre-ttc...

I am a little stumped. I am now in my 15th week. My 13th week u/s showed both my babies doing well. Even at my OB's visit I was able to hear my babies' heartbeats. I have been spotting from time to time. OB said spotting is normal as long as there's no gushing of blood enough to soak a pad and...

Checking in to see how you are doing! Haven't seen an update and was concerned.

I just need to vent. So in February when we found out there were no follies and that the cycle was cancelled we decided that we really needed to take a good look at my insurance for both IF and pregnancy. We knew my insurance didn't cover IF and had just accepted that we were 'cash pay for...

Hi, Im about to get an FET in two weeks, and lo and behold...my dentist found a molar a couple weeks ago that needs a crown. If pregnant, when is this surgery better to get done? Will novocaine affect baby? And I have immune issues, I hope those wont get worse with the novocaine...ugh! any info...
