r/IVFbabies

For context, we have a wonderful almost 1 year old from IVF. We are lucky to have other embryos but have decided not to have any more children for many reasons. We’ve already signed paperwork with our clinic to donate the embryos to scientific study should we no longer wish to use them, but it feels so strange to just let them go. Does anyone have a meaningful way that they’ve acknowledged this?

For those who have had a breech baby around 34 weeks, I’d love to hear about your experience. 💕
I know we still have plenty of time for baby to turn, and we are definitely not freaking out or assuming baby will stay breech! I’m just trying to educate myself ahead of time and hear from others who have been through it.
If you got to around 36–37 weeks and baby was still breech, what did you end up considering or doing? Did you have an ECV, try any positioning/exercises, work with a chiropractor or other provider, or ultimately plan a C-section? I’d especially love to hear what your experience was like and anything you wish you had known or considered earlier.
Not looking for medical advice — just hoping to hear some real-life experiences so I know what questions to ask my provider if baby decides to stay put. 😊

I don't know if I have an irrational fear, but I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and I haven't had sex or an O.

I've had a natural pregnancy before, and I didn't worry at all and had sex throughout.

Have any of you avoided sex just Incase? We haven't been intimate since starting IVF in March :(

Hello yalli finally made after 5 years of horror and pain and miscarriages and trying

This being said today I had my second ultrasound and they said baby is 6w5d and the heartbeat is at 113.

The doctor seemed happy with it but I did the anxious crazy person thingg and started googling. And im seeing a lot of mixed reviews about how thats on the low end.

Anyone else been through this?

This is so exciting and scary at the same time

As title says I'm going crazy. I keep thinking this pregnancy has failed as I don't have many symptoms or strong symptoms I should say. Had my second and last transfer on sept 11th. When I was 12dpt i had my first beta it was 384 my second was at 14dpt and was 890 which I know is great. They stopped doing beta testing after that I'm 6.3 weeks pregnant so 26dpt I am nauseous some times ( have not thrown up yet ) I can seem to make my self feel better by eating. I have sore nipples and breast are full I am tired especially yesterday and today but like my hubby says I'm always tired and want to nap. I know these are symptoms of esrly pregnancy but I keep thinking they should be stronger or I should be throwing up. My viability scan isn't until next Wednesday oct 14 I don't know how to get threw the days 🙃 Does anyone else feel this way. I thought the TWW was bad but this waiting until your viability scan is just scary 😨

Hello all,

I started testing with home pregnancy tests on day 6 post transfer, today is day 8 post transfer. It was a 5-day blastocyst rated 4BB, made from an egg frozen 4 years ago.

The home pregnancy test today was negative. The beta test is tomorrow. Is there still any hope?

I am 6 weeks today and super nervous since my symptoms (which really has only been sore/sensitive breasts and tiredness) disappeared in the middle of the night last night. I don’t even feel that tired pregnant feeling. For context, in 2023 I had a chemical pregnancy at 5.5 weeks, I went on to have a successful pregnancy with my son (who’s 2 now). While trying for our second I was diagnosed with unexplained secondary infertility and we just found out we are pregnant through IVF! My first two betas were really strong but I am freaking out something has happened since the symptoms disappearing was my first sign with my chemical. I took a pee test today and it is still really dark but I’m just so scared it’s happening again. I know no one can tell me what’s going to happen and anything is possible at this point, it’s just been a long and brutal process to get here, I was diagnosed with OHSS when I first found out I was pregnant, had to be hospitalized and then had paracentesis (draining of 4L). I am still bloated but significantly less. I guess I am just coming here for morale support and if anyone has experienced something similar with positive outcomes. I tried not to take progress pregnancy tests to compare lines but I have taken them every now and then to give me reassurance, both yesterday and today are still super dark yesterday looked like a dye stealer and today just super dark not sure if that’s concerning or not. I have my 7week ultrasound in 1 week..

Thanks everyone for being such a supportive group ❤️
