Infertility Message Boards: Share, Connect, and Ask Questions In Our Infertility Forums

Monday September 8, 2008

Our infertility message boards are a great place to meet other women and couples who are going through infertility. Finding support from people who get it isn’t always easy. In our fertility forums, you’ll find people who have been there, done that, and can lend an understanding ear when you need to vent, ask questions, or just share your experiences.

Here are a few recent topics on the message boards:

Experience with IVF, Anyone?

A new poster, wishinghope, wants to know if anyone has had experience with IVF treatment. She writes, “I have been trying to get pregnant for almost 4 years now. We have finally decided to do IVF treatment which we will be starting next week. I guess I am just really scared, it is constantly on my mind. I was wondering if anyone has been successful with the treatment the first time around? I am also afraid since I have been doing research and have read the side effects as well.”

Come share your experiences with IVF, or just lend some support.

Just Passed The One Year Mark For Trying

Another new’ish poster, MLE_, is feeling overwhelmed. She writes, “All of my friends have children, or at least have had miscarriages, not that I would wish for that. But I’m afraid I can’t even CONCEIVE a bambini. Lined up an appointment with a fertility specialist. Is it too soon? Am I worried for nothing?”

Do you ever feel overwhelmed about trying to get pregnant? Come offer your support.

Fourth Miscarriage

New member holliled is going through her fourth miscarriage. She writes, “I had 2 miscarriages at 6 weeks and 1 was a chemical pregnancy. This 4th miscarriage may be ectopic. The doc put me on Methotrexate. Anyone hear of this drug? I have been through blood work, testing hormone levels, HSG... Doc is still not sure what's wrong. No problem conceiving, just keeping the pregnancy. Anyone having similar problems?”

Offer your sympathies for the miscarriage and share your thoughts here.

Excellent site infertility.about.com and I am really pleased to see you have this this post.
I am crrently working in the south of france looking at property for sale, having fun in the sun and bookmarking everything that I find interesting on the net (including infertility.about.com of course !)
It has taken me literally 2 hours and 00 minutes of searching the web to find you (just kidding!) so I shall be pleased to become a regular visitor from now on :)

Thanks
