Has anyone watched this? I am absolutely heartbroken for these poor families. I am in bits listening to their stories and can’t believe this has happened. No mother should ever have to go through this. Sending so much love and strength to them. 😢🙏🏻

Looking for some positive comments and stories please 🙏 Today was my first ever transfer! 5 day blasto grading a 4AA

Sorry long post. I’m wondering if anyone could kindly share any advise, my son is now 6 months old and the best thing that ever happened to me! I am full white British and his dad is 1/4 white and 3/4 Ghanaian . Our son has super fair skin, fairer than myself, big blue eyes like myself but has his dads 3c/4a curls ...

What happens at the pre op appt please? Trying to prepare for Wednesday just want a heads up😊

When I woke up they told me they got 16 eggs but 4 were too small, now waiting to hear how many are mature and make it to day 5. Did anyone else start with similar numbers? How many embryos did you get from 12 eggs?

Anyone else transferring on Thursday?💜 Would love to connect so we can support each other during the process.

What stool softener should I get for after egg retrieval? Any recommendations?

What are the psychological and emotional traumas on children when their parents split? Is the fear of this enough to remain in an abusive or emotionally deprived or unloved relationship?

Are you advised to not have sex after a transfer for a period of time?

Hey mommas, my ex broke up with me and stopped communicating with me 3 months ago. We have two sons an 18 month old and 4 month old but neither have passports. I’m looking to do them tomorrow but because my ex is on both their certificates how does that all work? I’ve been told both parents need to sign. I have tr...

Waiting for my edd credit card to come in. It's taking forever. Any body had any issues in receiving it through the mail?

Hey anyone else transferring June 10? I’m excited but a little nervous at this point lol

Hi my brother and sister-in-law just found out that their baby isn’t making enough amniotic fluid and they don’t know if his kidneys work so they are having him born at 24 weeks. I just wanted to know what you would have wanted people to do for you when your baby was born early. I want to help them but would rath...

Sometimes I think I made the wrong decision in keeping my child. He's too much and I can't handle him. I don't feel that way all the time, but when I do, it's bad. Then I feel guilty and the guilt on top of the fact that I already hated my life makes me want to end it.

Tomorrow is the big day. I have my beta for my 4th FET. The first two were failures and 3rd was a chemical. I tested starting on day 5 and it was negative through day 8. Today is day 9 and I didn’t test because I had my sad day yesterday. I am trying to hold on to hope, but it is so hard. I have done medicated and...

What does it say if you don’t have father on the birth certificate? Does it say father unknown? The father of my child is refusing to go on there, he is refusing to come to appointments and I can’t register his name without him present, anyone have any experience of this?

My daughter is 8 years old and recently lost her grandad; They were extremely close, best mates and she’s so broken he’s gone. I’d never usually second guess this decision but I want to give her the decision on whether she’d like to come to his funeral. Is this acceptable 💔

How many days from cycle day 1 until transfer? Also is there anything you did to ensure the lining was thick enough? Thanks

My friend is pregnant and is willing to let me adopt their baby … what are the rules that I need to know or the process I should follow ? We live in different states btw so how does that work too

Can we talk about generational traumas and the ones we hope to break with our children!
