Attention mummies

Hi ladies,

I’m really new to this forum & I don’t know if I’m commenting in the right one so I really do apologise if I’m wrong.

I’m 26 (partner 27) we’ve been together 10 years this year, I have stage 4 endo, 3 laps one resulting in loss of right ovary & tube due to dermoid cyst. We’ve had 3 failed ivfs & saving for another round.

Just want to know (as I’m a little late on my period I think, they seem to range from 24 to 28 days) if ladies who have been pregnant before still suffer from cramps if they were pregnant? I’ve had sore boobs for about 5 days now, cramps in my lower tummy on and off for a few days, real bad headaches & I think I might have had pink tinged cm yesterday.

I don’t know if I’m just wishful thinking...I’m not sure. I just need a little help & advice xx

  1. Hi there, I understand your concerns. I've been through ivf rounds. And when I did get prego, I had crampings but not severe. Also pinkish spotting which lasted for several hours, but not red. I got worried and called the clinic's 24/7 support line. I was told there was nothing to worry about unless crampings are intensive and spotting is bright red and immense. I ended up with a healthy pregnancy then. I believe those are good signs for you - Your bean is getting stuck firmly. Would be glad to read some updates from you soon. Hugs x

    1. Hi there . Just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and the community. How have you been doing lately? We hope well! -Kimberli (Team Member)

  2. Oh, darling, I'm so proud of you!
    You are a very strong couple because you do not give up. Please, go on trying and God will hear your prays, I promise!
    4 stage endo is quite a difficult scenario, but don't be afraid. The main thing for you now is to find the right clinic.
    I finished my first (and only for now) surrogacy journey about 3 years ago, but I'm still very thankful to my clinic, called Biotexcom.
    Google it, it's great!
    Yes, it's in Ukraine, but even with this, it's much cheaper than Italian ones.
    Don't even think of giving up! You're only in few more steps from your dream!

    1. Hi there, Jeany. I think I've read your post on another thread. So if I'm not mistaken, you're about to start another surrogacy journey with BTC? Am I right?
      If yes, then I wonder how do you manage to fly to the country in times of pandemic? Aren't the boarders closed? Have you already signed up with them? Any changes in protocols? What's new as for the costs? Do you think covid affected things much comparing with your previous journey? I'm asking all this for my MRKH bestie. TIA

    2. Hi ! Just wanted to swing by and say thank you for sharing your experience with us and for your kind words towards our other community members! How have you been doing? Hope you are well.-Kimberli (Team Member)

  3. I don't have any experience with this dear , as we have not begun trying just yet, but I still did want to reach out to you and see how you have been doing!
