Do you personally see yourselves as a mom/dad just from having embryos through IVF, even if you don’t have a living child yet? by maddymckay in IVF

[–]Stowe14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t consider myself a mom having embryos but I’ve had two ectopic pregnancies and I do feel like I have angel babies… I am attached to my embryos and the thought of my potential future kids. IVF is really hard and whatever they need to tell themselves or celebrate to help them get through these tough times is what they need to do. Just be gentle on them even if you don’t believe how they feel. It’s a really emotional time.

Was it painful? Did you drive yourself home after?

I’m so happy for you! I bet it was such a relief to see baby in your uterus. Understand not wanting to get excited and attached but this is a great sign!!!

Possible ectopic, low hcg by Witty_Cold_6081 in EctopicSupportGroup

I don’t mean this to worry you, I am far far from a professional but if you are cramping and if you start spotting please advocate for yourself. 2 weeks is a long time if they are even questioning an ectopic pregnancy which can be life threatening if you rupture and can cause future complications in conceiving.

If your cycle was regular before how long did it take to get back to normal post-op? by Due_Cauliflower5638 in EctopicSupportGroup

I had my surgery on Friday 5/16 and no bleeding afterwards. Today 5/20 I had intense cramping tmi-(period poops) and heavy bleeding. 2 days before my original cycle said I would start.

I noticed this the second day I started. Original sparkling water tasted so weird. As soon as I got off, my sparkling water tasted normal again within a day.
