2nd child anxiety

I'm 36 (turning 37 in June) and my daughter has just turned 13 months. I've been discussing with my partner about having a second kid and I just keep going all in and out.

OC/ ICP

Hiya, Has anyone been diagnosed with OC also known as ICP, the liver disease? I have and the consultant is pushing to induce at 37 weeks (from next weds) but we're not sure this is the best thing to do after lots of reading up on it. Still waiting for the latest blood results for the bile acids.

1st IUI tomorrow- What’s your experience?

My first IUI is tomorrow. I’m feeling super nervous, anxious, excited, and most definitely impatient. I was medicated this cycle using 5mg letrozole and a trigger shot. I had one mature follicle at my last scan on Monday morning. We have been TTC+ years and have MFI. I’m just curious what others have experienced? Wa...

Would you count this as a BFP??

I’m 10DPO I tested at 7,8,9 dpo and they were absolutely stark white negative But with my previous two kids I tested positive at 8 and 9 dpo so I thought I was out! Now that it’s dry it’s more obvious

HSG

Has anyone had a HSG test before and has gotten pregnant after the test. Supposably it helps wash fallopian tubes to increase pregnancy and look if you have blocked tubes of course.

Worse-than-average chromosomal abnormalities

I was told for my age (I'm 36) roughly half of the embryos would be genetically abnormal. We just did got our PGT-A results and out of 3 embryos, only 1 was euploid. We had 8 collected, 6 mature and fertilised, 3 made it to day 5/6 with grading 5AB, 5BB and 6BB. The 5AB was the one that was euploid. Before I had 2 e...
