loved seeing success stories and happy updates so I will share! perfect anatomy scan today 19 weeks and 2 days. conceived just after turning 42.
we had a vasectomy reversal Dec 23' a chemical in July 24'
conceived again Nov '24 but ended in loss Jan 25'
One more chemical mar 26'
I got in with an amazing RE who discovered minor uterine scarring. had a hysteroscopy and adhesion removal and conceived the next cycle after surgery!

So I’m 10w3d and last night hubby and I were intimate but just fooled around not intercourse. I had a shower got out and wiped and there was fresh ish looking blood. Even a small clot. Never got more than seeing it just it on the TP and this morning it’s stopped completely. Had an ultrasound at 8 weeks baby measured ahead with a hr of 167.
Anyone experience orgasm triggering bleeding ?! SCH? Or my cervical ectropion ? Of course my mind thinks worse case but just trying to stay grounded

I’m 7 weeks and 4 days and thought I saw a bit of peachy coloured cm this morning - the lighting in my bathroom wasn’t great - I kinda freaked grabbed another piece of tp to which was totally clear..
So hard to not worry 😞

I think I’m just looking for solidarity or something of how nerve wracking this journey is.
We’ve been trying since December 23’ after hubby’s vasectomy reversal. I think it took a while for him to heal but we had a chemical in July’24 and then I was pregnant in November ‘24.
I lost that baby end of January 25’ and we tried for another year only to have a chemical in March ‘26. I got in with my dr who did a SIS, discovered scarring and on May 1 I had a hysterscopy and surgery to removed mild adhesions. To my shock we got pregnant the next cycle. Betas look great and more than doubled up to the last one I did at 24 dpo at 9519. I’m now just waiting to have my ultrasound at 8 weeks this week- and I guess I can’t help but be like.. this is too good to be true.. we have 3 kiddos prior to the reversal with no trying even and no miscarriage. I turned 42 in April. So i definitely know age is a factor but also fully aware a lot of women in their 40’s have healthy pregnancies. Ughhhhh it’s just so hard to not go crazy waiting 😵‍💫

So I have posted here before about success after adhesion removal. I had very minor scarring. My dr showed me pictures and it just looked like webbing sort of floating across my uterine cavity.
I had surgery May 1, and then lo and behold a BFP June 16! I am now over 7 weeks. Betas have been great and awaiting an ultrasound at 8 weeks. But … is this all just a coincidence!? We went over a year trying after my miscarriage with nothing more than a chemical that went as fast ad it came then bam! Pregnant like that right after surgery!?!. I know the pictures my dr showed me of my uterus after it looked pristine… but truly… could little spider web like scars like that really have been causing our issues for the last year and almost a half!? Fertility is really such a mystery sometimes - I just hope and pray all that was needed was a clean home for a healthy little embryo to make its home in..

I had a friend tell me 1500 cals is just survival and you’ll never build muscle..
I’m 42 F - 5 foot 5 151 lbs (down 10)
Getting upwards of 130 grams of protein a day.
I feel really great 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’m eating high volume foods and definitely don’t feel starved. After initial water weight loss it’s been a steady about 1.5 lbs a week..
Should I up my cals? I am very active this time of year, clocking and average of 15k steps a day.. sometimes more

I had surgery a month ago for Ashermans most likely caused by natural miscarriage. I was told my adhesions were filmy spiderweb scars up in the fundal area. My dr cleared them out and said it looks perfect.
So here is the thing, I feel like after my miscarriage my bleeding was less.. not light but maybe a day or so shorter… but… first bleed after surgery I believe it’s back to normal! I’m cd 4 and still have a steady bright red bleed. Light but definitely not just spotting. I feel like this has got to be a positive thing?! The Ashermans definitely didn’t fully affect my bleed but did seem sorta different.

I stated a deficit at the beginning of this month. Have lost 4 lbs already. My weight has been stalled out for the last 6 days although I do feel like I’m seeing body composition changes.
I haven’t gained at least and am definitely in a deficit as well as working out and very active. That all said I’m on my cycle (day 2) so should I just be encouraged that it at least didn’t go up?? Will it drop after my cycle is done… I’ve never tracked my weight before so don’t know what all this involves lol.

Curious to anyone’s experiences moving from keto to CICO- I lost weight before very quick with keto, but I really want to keep some low glycemic type carbs. 42 female - I’m currently 69 kilos down from 73 and would like to be closer to 60-62 (164cm) also walking 10k plus steps and strength training.
Like for instance today is 1467 Calories 34 grams net carbs(55 total) and 21 grams of fibre (111grams of protein)
That little bit of carb room allowed for some beans and berries and I’m willing to up it even more if I still continue to loose! But have in my head that will stall if I up my carbs 🫠

Hello! I just had my first ovulation after surgery.
I did find I seemed to have a lot less EWCM than usual. Is that typical just because maybe the cervix has been tinkered with?

Hello! Sorry I seem to post often lol
But had Surgery on May 1
I was cd 3 that day
My dr said my uterus looks perfect - he just removed some filmy spider web like adhesions.
I’m just curious if you had surgery earlier in your cycle did you find it affected your ovulation at all? Even after my SIS last month it seemed a few days later than usual.
Thankyou!
