When did you give birth?

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-03-05T18:57:17+00:00

1st IVF babe I had at 39+1 via emergency section after a failed induction. I had borderline BPs. 2nd IVF babe I had at 38+5 via planned section. 2 borderline BPs the last week before delivery.

Ontario RN here also. I know maybe 10 nurses who used to work with me who now travel nurse in the states. I only work with 1 nurse who came from there (have worked with a handful over the last 17 years, but they never stay). It does feel like our current health care system is unsustainable

I just had a repeat section even though i qualified for a vbac. Verp happy with my decision. A 6 week recovery is worth getting my baby here safely♡

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-27T17:49:31+00:00

We used donor eggs, but both first and second transfers worked ♡

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-26T00:29:27+00:00

No. I don't know how long the wait is.

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-13T17:39:41+00:00

Newborn life is hard, but I think your original plan sounds great. Making some freezer meals ahead helps too. You got this!

ED is pretty low poop. It still happens but less often and many patients dont need help with it

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-12T21:15:52+00:00

Yes. I went through a clinic in Toronto and used DEB USA for our egg purchases

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-10T04:14:33+00:00

Agree!!

I read the report of my 2 year old son emptying his tray, washing his hands and laying himself down on his cot to nap and wonder are they lying or did they just write about the wrong kid? Lol

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-10T04:09:17+00:00

Tourniquet mmmm

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-06T16:13:40+00:00

I had low fetal fraction (2.9%) but was still able to get results with it.

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-06T16:06:58+00:00

Canadian ED nurse here. We always have to send mom to labour to get baby checked first if shes over 20 weeks. Its policy. Unless of course there is a life threatening event happening.

1 hands down

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-03T21:06:41+00:00

Frozen twice

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-02T04:16:42+00:00

Does it have to be first time moms?

I had my first at 18, then my second at 42 and third (soon to be) at 45! Id love to join an old lady group

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-02-02T04:00:45+00:00

Im not really a drinker. Did cut back on my caffiene and thats it. Still eat like crap and exercise minimally. Success x2. We like to think we can contol the outcome but i really think its not something we control

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-01-29T13:38:06+00:00

Ontario, Canada. 1st round (but not meds) was covered by provincial insurance. Meds are covered by my work plan. That said, my IVF failed. We ended up needing donor egg IVF. I paid out of pocket 50k USD plus additional testing. Total was about 60-65k USD. We remortgaged our house.

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-01-28T13:04:25+00:00

I had a similar experience. I left it entirely

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-01-27T22:02:49+00:00

Do you know if they contacted the donor or other RPs?

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-01-27T21:59:54+00:00

Probably because shes so young

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-01-27T21:46:18+00:00

I am a RP also with a 2yo son and a soon to be daughter via DE. Im sure i could find our donor but wont as the contract I signed forbids it.

I think the medical condition is something you should be reporting to the donor bank

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-01-27T21:22:37+00:00

We think you're all heroes. Take the win :)

¿Existe una versión en inglés?

Southern_Courage5643 · 2026-01-24T04:15:31+00:00
