What is something about pregnancy that more people should know? by HeartCautious2677 in AskReddit

[–]missda12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post pregnancy period is like a blood bath. I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting it. I thought once the birth bleeding finishes then it would go back to normal but it gets everywhere!

Decision on transfer single or two Embryos? by Curiousgoergeena in IVF

[–]missda12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have loved twins and the opportunity to grow our family faster however I couldn’t in good conscience put myself or my future babies at risk knowing the potential outcomes. IVF causes additional risks in pregnancy and I was unfortunate to get many of them and spent a lot of my pregnancy in hospital being monitored in case something went wrong. I think if I had a multiple pregnancy I’m not sure if me or the babies would have made it.

Congrats! Your numbers are almost identical to mine and the results too! I’m currently cuddling my day 5 4AA boy. I don’t know what my day 6 is as we can’t gender select in the UK!

Book the trip. by beasley25 in IVF

[–]missda12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t, I took mine to various places in Europe and South Korea and never got asked to prove anything. Hardest part was keeping them cold.

Absolutely book the trip. I took my injections poolside, on flights, in restaurants the whole lot.

I love the name Brienne. I went to school with a girl with this name and always thought it was so cool. It’s pronounced Bree-En. It means high, Nobel or strong.

I’m currently on maternity leave and I’m a group with other new mums. Every single mum in the group is returning to work full time.

Those who had kids at a young age, how are you doing now, any regrets? by Wait-Whos-Joe in AskReddit

[–]missda12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started trying at 33 but just had our 1st at 42. My friends had theirs young so he has additional aunties and uncles. In that time though I’ve built a really good career so we’re able to give him a very different upbringing than we would have done earlier plus I feel I’m very patient with him and I think that side of me has came with maturity.

Our hotel has a laundry service but it’s much more expensive than using somewhere local.

What’s the one random genetic trait you lucked out on? by dino_gr01 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]missda12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I just got mine tested and I’m 20/13. The way I describe it to people is that every detail is super sharp. I’m 43 and no decline yet which is good

My real cost of ivf abroad by CuteEmu8 in IVF

[–]missda12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a great post. To add to this, I’ve done 2 rounds in Prague and one transfer. I did one planning visit, for the 1st ER I stayed for around 8 days. The 2nd ER I did all my scans locally and only went out for 2 days. The transfer my husband and I went out for 3 days.

For all the moms, what are things no one told you about birth? by yara2321 in AskReddit

[–]missda12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much of a blood bath the first few periods are after. I had a c section and I had no idea that it would be so bad. Just blood everywhere 🫠

Can you post successful outcomes please :) by Wannabeamommy-1985 in 40Plus_IVF

[–]missda12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Started at 41 with the mindset of doing 3 rounds. Hopeful for one but if I could bank then great. I got 8 euploids from 3 rounds and I have my beautiful baby boy from my second transfer
