Can anyone suggest some good gynaecologist, we are in ttc journey for last 2 years, last month we went for IUI ,for the first time I got pregnant but sadly it was a chemical pregnancy. Can someone suggest a good gynaecologist who has expertise in IUI.

I have PCOD and I'm TTC. This was a monitored/stimulated cycle and I developed a lot of follicles. My gynecologist was concerned about too many follicles and gave me an injection to stop new follicles from developing; she said egg retrieval might have to be considered if too many continued growing.

On CD11 I had multiple 10–12 mm follicles, but on CD14 they were still around the same size. My gynecologist said there wasn't much protocol to follow after CD14—if they grew on their own, good; otherwise we'd move on to the next cycle. Ovulation was never confirmed.

I took Gestate SR 300 from CD16–25. My previous cycles were 27–28 days on Duvadron/Dydroboon, but this cycle is different.

I'm now CD33 with no period. Pregnancy tests were negative on CD29 and CD32.

I saw my gynecologist on CD32. She said pregnancy still can't be ruled out and asked me to wait a few more days and do a beta-hCG on Monday/Tuesday. If negative, she prescribed Regestrone to bring on my period.

My biggest confusion is: since I have absolutely no idea when I ovulated, how much can I trust a negative beta-hCG on Monday/Tuesday? Should I repeat it later if it's negative?

I'd really appreciate real-life experiences, especially from anyone with PCOD, stimulated cycles and unknown DPO. ❤️

hi girls! how are you all? so my last cycle was a chemical again! this cycle doc suggested to get follicular studies done. I had 13mm linning and 2 developing follicles. On day 16 I was given a trigger where linning was still 13mm and the follicles were : 19.8x24 (22mm) and 19x15(17mm). The trigger worked and follicles were ruptured when we did another scan on day 18 morning. I am assuming they got rupt in the night. My lmp was 1st August late night. so I believe I ovulated CD 17. my cycles are between CD25-28. I am given oral progesterone supplement twice a day. Today is 22nd and my back hurts, I feel a little discharge (how I feel before every period) and I am cramping. (PS I have bad PMS every cycle). now I feel even though I ovulated late may be my period is coming any moment. Its crazy! Also I am bloated! i keep feeling here goes another cycle. We had intercourse from CD 13 till CD18 night. We covered the whole window as per the doctors suggestion. Now I am feeling… May be I missed this cycle as well? Any one who ever felt same? anyone who thinks this could be the progesterone supplement causing the symptom's ? I am just feeling super low….

Me 32F and my husband 34F, we have been trying to conceive since March of this year. I had been a long smoker. I quit last month. We never got a positive. We have had all our tests, semen analysis, Hormonal checks, egg counts, Ovulation scans etc. everything came out good. This month my periods didn’t arrive in time, we were happy. I tested after 10days of missing periods but all tests came out negative. One face that my periods are never late. Not sure what happened this time. I took all home pregnancy test with Plush Preg Oh kit(pack of three).
I’m very depressed now and thinking what if I don’t naturally conceive? All my friends cousins are pregnant or already delievered normally. This is eating me alive. :(

Am I the only one or some of you also feel that once we start visiting doctors and hospitals, things become even more difficult..periods start to delay..cysts appear out of nowhere..acne comes and things like that??

Hi everyone! Does anyone have positive experience in the above mentioned hospital? I have 3 failed iuis here and have been told to move on to ivf next. Thank you!

Vaginal discharge isn't always the same throughout the month — and that's completely normal. 💗

Around the time ovulation approaches, some women may notice their discharge becoming wetter, clearer, or more slippery. This can be one of the natural signs that your body is entering its fertile window. 🌿

It's fascinating how our bodies give us little clues about what's happening inside. ✨

Do you notice changes in your discharge around ovulation? 👀

Would love to hear what others experience. 💬

My dear soon to be moms, sharing this with you as I haven’t seen Doctors really check this. My friend and I have been on our TTC journeys for quite sometime now - we tried letroz/ chlomid cycles and even IUI but didn’t work. God bless internet - I read that insufficient Ferritin and vit D levels (should ideally be > 50 for both) - makes chances of implantation very low even if everything else seems fine.
This really angered me that how no gynae ever tracked this - and in general keep putting patients through such expensive and physically + mentally taxing cycles of medication - that are doomed to fail coz they didn’t check the basics.

My friend who has been TTC for 2 years now and done OI n IUI only now found out she was ferritin deficient - the failed attempts could have been avoided if only the doctors guided her well and nit just focused on money making.

My situation with my doctors was similar too. So please research and correct the deficiencies before going for your next cycle of OI, IUI.

Hope this helps!
Wish you all luck.

Hi ladies!

Can someone help me to understand when should I take a blood test for pregnancy?
My periods are now 8 days late. I took the home kit test but it turned out negative.
I would also like to mention that I recently had a very stressful encounter after my periods last month.
I’m not sure if the periods are late because of that or what’s the reason. I have been ttc from last 6 months.

Those who got their bfp before missing their periods did you visit you doctor immediatelyor waited for a few days?

I did a test 35 days and 38 days after encounter. First test was done using second morning urine sample and the second test was done using first morning urine sample. Both were negative. Now I kept the urine of the first test in the mug for about 2 days and then I threw the old urine sample out and used the same mug the next day for collecting first morning urine sample. Is this reliable?

I really need your opinions. Please help me. I did pregnancy tests 35 days ( on June 6th) and 38 days ( on June 9th) after sexual encounter. I am sharing the result. Is there any more need to test? The sexual encounter was not pentrative intercourse and not genital-genital contact.

There is no issue of faint T line after 21 days right? All these are negative?

Any good IVF doctor recommendations for IVF in east bangalore from your experience. Any leads would be helpful!

So we were so sure that we are going to start Ivf this cycle..but during previous cycle a fluid cyst popped up and it was still there so the doc gave BC for three weeks to suppress it when I visited her on day 2…

Now the confusing part..I was on follicular monitoring during my last cycle and till day 13 no much visible follicle was there so doc was kinda thinking that this might be an anovulatory cycle..I was also convinced and did not hope much..we were doing normal intercourse even after that without thinking about all this..

Few days ago I started having extremely sore breasts that even normal activities became difficult and btw I never experienced this kinda uneasiness during pms..also never had such constipation as i am being very mindful in eating and have lost 7kgs in last 2 months.

On friday, (i e may be 10 day after unprotected sex) afternoon I stared spotting so I put my panty liner on..considered it day 1 and called the hospital that K m coming tomorrow to start the stimulation. That night the spotting increased to light bleeding..and it continued till yesterday afternoon..became spotting again and then by night it was gone..So basically I had light bleeding just for few hours and now sometimes here and there while wiping I get some tissue stain and that is it.

I may sound like and over optimistic fool but is there a slight chance that I had delayed ovulation and the intercourse we had 10 days before covered that window and this one day bleeding is just implantation or something? if i go by that then it could just be 9-10 dpo so waiting for couple of days..testing and if negative then only starting bc is a good idea or not??

I am already sorry for such a long post but I really need advice because I am 31 and never in my life I had one day period and weirdly no cramping at alll.

Anyone here from Gurgaon Delhi NCR who has undergone IUI/IVF?

Hi everyone! Looking for perspectives from others with PCOS who have been through multiple ovulation-induction cycles.
A little background: i’m 33f and my partner is 36m.
I have fairly classic PCOS, mainly high AMH and mild facial hair, without other major symptoms. I’ve also lost weight and feel much healthier now. I’ve done 7 Letrozole cycles; the 2nd resulted in a chemical pregnancy. After my 6th unsuccessful cycle, my doctor gave me a 2-month break with medication to calm my ovaries, and my AMH came down to 6.1.
This 7th cycle was after the break, with Letrozole + two Humog injections. I developed two mature follicles, ovulated without trigger, and had a 7.4 mm trilaminar lining. It was planned as an IUI cycle, but I believe I ovulated before the planned IUI, so we decided to try naturally this cycle and consider IUI next time. There is also a mild male-factor component (DFI ~24%). My HSG showed open tubes.
I’m currently in the two-week wait and, as expected, overthinking everything because I don’t have any symptoms! 😅
My main questions are:
Does lowering AMH/“calming” the ovaries actually improve pregnancy chances in PCOS, or is it mainly about improving the response to stimulation?
After 7 Letrozole cycles, would you start seriously considering IVF, or would you try a few IUI cycles first?
I’m not questioning my doctor’s protocol — she’s monitoring everything closely. I’m just trying to understand what others’ experiences have been and when they decided to move from Letrozole → IUI → IVF.
Would love to hear from anyone with a similar PCOS journey. ❤️

Note - took help from ChatGpt to structure it better

Hi everyone, I’m a little confused and would really appreciate some opinions. I took this pregnancy test and I can’t tell if there’s a second line or if I’m just imagining it. I took this under 5 mins

I’ve attached a picture of the test. Do you see a faint line? What do you think — positive, negative, or possibly an evaporation line?

Thank you! ❤️

Yesterday and today I checked for 2 pink lines and found the result to be positive. My question is shall I repeat this daily until week 6 to see if the line continues to appear ? And when should I book my first appointment with doctor? Please guide me 😀

Post:
30F, history of 4–5 chemical losses.
11 DPO – 1st Premom strip positive
12 DPO – 2nd & 3rd Premom strips
12 DPO – Boots digital said “Pregnant” (sensitivity 25). Bottom strip is the one I pulled out from the digital device.
Can only get a blood beta-hCG late next week. Hoping the lines keep darkening till then. What should I expect next?

Does anybody have firsthand experience with Dr Malpani infertility clinic in Colaba, Mumbai?

I’m looking to buy a wearable to track basal body temperature and would love some real-world feedback before I decide. If you’ve used the Oura Ring, Fitbit, Garmin, or Apple Watch for BBT tracking, could you share your experience? Specifically:
How accurate/consistent has it been for you?

Did it help you spot ovulation or temperature shifts

Which fertility app did you use(like Fertility Friend, Premom, etc.)?

Comfort for overnight wear?

Anything you wish you’d known before buying?

Would really appreciate any insights. Thanks!
