    I am 7 weeks pregnant. I got pregnant through DE IVF. My DP and I were so happy wen we got a BFP on our OTD. We went through a lot during the procedure that no one tells you before you choose it. First it felt like I was going through menopause. I had innumrable hot flushes, killer mood swings and I was so bloated. I injected hormones on my belly daily. Then during my 2ww I thought this is almost over. It wasn't! I am on progesterone till week 15. I keep going for more of those ultrasounds. I had one at week 5 and one today. And yes, they are still done traansvaginally using dildo cams till around week 12 I think. No one told me these things

    This is all very true. No one tells you that it doesn't end after the 2ww before you go for IVF. The menopause part I know though. I have done a lot of research and I know a lot. I have come across a lot of myths and truths in the internet. But it is all very helpful in preparing you for what you will go through. You must have gone into IVF without doing much research.

    Oughh dear, i feel sorry for you. It's very bad when you have to learn something the hard way! In your case it is totally crappy, like beyond repair. I feel very, very bad for you. It's just that these things take sacrifice. It is hard to deal with them obviously i also feel very bad for you. No human deserves this but it is part of life and there is nothing we can do to change it. Actually the thing damagin you is part of IVF... I just meant the infertility that made you take the IVF road. You see doctors do not enjoy doing that to you. It is a medical necessity and you need it. As harsh as this is, it is the truth. Not only can people like you and me have a baby the ordinary way... Which is all we wanted, we have to go through this extra stuff too! This will be over soon dear. Keep strong and remeber why you started. I assure you when you hold your baby it's gonna be all worth it. Much love for you xoxo

    It's all true, While IVF and other fertility treatments can be the answer to many women's prayers, they're far from a sure thing. IVF will generally run you between $10,000 and $20,000 this is a fact indeed. You have to believe that Between ages 35 and 37, that success rate drops to 31%. From age 38 to 40, about 1 in 5 procedures are successful, and by ages 40 to 42, the odds are down to 11%. For women older than 42, fewer than 5% of procedures result in live births.You may not Be able to use the Eggs, You have the older you are, the fewer healthy eggs you have. Hope all couples read this before going to IVF process.

    Hey dear. I know how hard the IVF journey can be. I have been through the same things a few years ago. But unfortunately, IVF failed in my case. I gave it 3 tries. In each try, I had to go through the same torturous things. I got sick of everything. I was done with it. That was the time when I decided that if I am gonna have a baby, it will not be through IVF. I can’t deal with this s*** anymore and it’s already been 3 years. I and my DH decided to go for surrogacy. That was the best decision I ever took. It turned out to be a life changing experience. I got success, luckily at the first try. That was the happiest time in our life. I am a mother of twin girls now. MY family is complete now. Thanks god I didn’t waste more time and energy on IVF.

    Hi!When people say IVF is an ’emotional roller coaster’, they are sugar coating it – nothing will prepare you for the soul-destroying cycle of hope and despair/hope and despair like the month in, month out unsuccessful IVF cycles.You will find yourself living in two-week blocks – two weeks of self-injecting hormones and watch to see if you got good eggs up… two weeks of waiting to see if your cycle worked. You will plan your entire life around these two-week blocks.You will find yourself unable to be genuinely happy for any friends or family members who are pregnant/having babies/have newborns… you find yourself faking happiness in these situations and turning in an Oscar-winning performance. This is emotionally exhausting. On IVF, time ceases to pass in the same way – normally days and weeks and months normally seem to fly, but when waiting to do a pregnancy test, time will creep by the speed and velocity of cold molasses flowing uphill.People will judge you for trying ‘extreme measures’ like IVF. They will say that you will ‘get pregnant as soon as you stop trying so hard’ – this is complete and utter bullshit. No one in their right mind would put themselves through IVF unless they had serious medical issues.While on IVF, you will learn more about the female anatomy, the reproductive system, hormones and artificial reproductive technologies than you ever wanted to know.Much love and the positive result for those who are suffering in these circumstances.

    Hey how are you? I am really feeling sorry for you. You have to find perfect information for you. Nobody in this world is so free to tell you all about this. There are very less medical centers those who provide complete information to you for your problems before diagnosis. Clinic in Ukraine is providing complete information about the IVF or surrogacy process on different you tube channels and blogs. Hope you find the best one for your self.

    Hi, I truly appreciate you that you are taking and telling those facts that are hidden.Many of us not knowing about that after consulting these women experiences.You are very true about it.thanks a lot, dear.there is another option to survive this pain, that is surrogacy.I knew because my cousin is also going through for it in the local clinic.But she was feeling good in some other clinic that is quite better and the cooperative staff.Lots of positive baby dust to all ladies.

    I know very well how you are feeling at that time. I have also go through the IVF which was successful. For me, 2WW is more painful and stress full rather than the treatment. But my clinic had already clear all these things with me during initial consultation that is in Ukraine. At started I am very nervous. So I did more search about it. I prepared myself for all conditions for the whole process. My doc suggest me to take proper diet for health.Not all people tell you complete details. We should also keep in mind all the things that need to manage our body for any treatment. So that we can prepare ourselves as per conditions. No one knows about our body than us. How we feels and how we can heal our body, we should take care of it. My family was also there to take care of me. With Blessing of God and ny family, i can manage in all situations. Now i am a mom of daughter. When i pick her i forgot all the sorrows,pains and hard times. So don’t get disappointed from these negative things. You also forget all difficult times when you get positive results. Be strong and positive. Take care.
