    Thank you for this. I tested early today (day 25 of my cycle) and did the cervix check and both indicated I was not pregnant and I have cried so many times today. I had been feeling symptoms that I thought indicated pregnancy and have been so hopeful and now I just feel so crazy. Been trying for two years. This was so encouraging and something to remind myself of in the future regardless of the outcome.🙏🏻

    Thanks for your encouragement and reminders of self care. We’re starting IUI procedures this month after 19 cycles of TTC.
    It’s hard not to get my hopes up every cycle. The emotional rollercoaster over the past year and a half has been gut wrenching. And for someone with control issues like myself, it’s been one heck of a learning experience.

    I'm having IVF (Icsi) in the UK ( 2nd FET yesterday) and its an interesting on the exercise. Over here I've been told to reduce my activity and stick to walking and swimming and keep my heart rate low whilst exercising to prevent a stress hormone from being released. I personally believe in listen to your body if your tired rest etc don't push it. Every time I've said that I'm active person who runs across fields, goes the the gym etc I feel like it's met with shock by the health professionals, I don't plan on running but I personally don't see what's wrong with going the gym and doing gentle exercise that's not hard impact.

    I am currently in the TTW and I decided to not step back my home cardio routine. With my son pregnancy I was so worry to make any movement other than walking, and that made me gain a lot of weight , and also mined my self confidence. Now that I am TTC again I don’t want to let the joy of exercising, while I don’t even know if I am pregnant. TTC it self takes already a big toll on mental health, so at least I need to focus on what I am in control of. My self care. Good luck to everyone looking this video now. Thank you Dr.Lora!

    Thank your for that calm and helpful video. The two week wait is hard every month when people come at you from all over the place to announce that this and that person you knew now has a child.
    It honestly makes me feel so much anxiety that something might be wrong with me 'again'. I always felt behind everyone else and this doesn't make it any easier. I know I shouldn't write myself off like this and think positive. It just feels like something I almost can't control if my body isn't meant to. (For whatever reason)

    Without diminishing what the ladies have to contend with it is important to note that as a male I too am experiencing the mental rollercoaster ride the goes with the weeks leading up to and after the transfer. I have relocated to a tropical island paradise and focusing on an intense and immersive personal wellbeing program, connecting with nature, paying attention to my nutritional habits, taking part in local spiritual ceremonies even though I am atheist, and maintaining a positive outlook. We do not have any fertility issues beyond the generationally typical lower counts so I am being comforted by those 80% chances of success rates in. the medical literature. My team is phenomenal all around and I am looking forward to a magical outcome. Thanks to all the people like Dr Shahine and other professionals for making all this possible

Your suggestions are exactly what i need to hear, the anxiety and focus that i have been feeling over TTC has been mounting up and it came to a head this morning when i arrived at work to the news that my co-worker had covid and we were all potentially exposed. I had Covid during my last miscarriage so it really triggered me.

    This is the best and only video I needed. I searched for your IUI and landed on this one. I am currently on my 2ww and this has been one of my several 2ww. But listening to your kind and much needed words makes me feel so calm. Literally coughing or sneezing also makes me worry. But I love your approach of dealing with this period. Can use all the wishes and prayers rn. Thank you so much. Much love and power to you.

    Hi Dr. Lora. Thank you for making these wonderful videos. I went through fertility treatments for endometriosis and fibroids several years ago. I was able to have a son and a daughter thanks to Lupron Depot. I am currently providing emotional support for a younger co-worker who suffers from PCOS. She just got bad news today about her IVF procedure. My heart is broken for her. Your videos have helped me to understand her grief and how I can be more supportive.

Cost, multiple visits to clinic, physical exertion and effect of all those hormonal medicine made me behaving like, this is my first & last chance to have a kid ever in life😁… I am now laughing on myself….Thanks for taking me out of this trap.

I remember on one occasion when I thought i had suceeded because of the absence of my period for 34 days only for them to come on the 35 th day. This had never happened before. The pain and shock 😲 that greeted me is indescribable. I don't want to rush into conclusions this time round but will add 20 more days on top of the 35. I am a bit advanced in age but I eat healthy and exercise. I keep my spirits high through positive affirmations. I am a prayerful woman and I believe the God of Sarah and will do it for me.

    The best thing to do is to ignore the symptoms and wait until 21DPO to test. Been there and tested early at 10DPO it was BFN! I thought I was pregnant with a missed period and presence of symptoms like (all symptoms of pregnancy) dizziness, nauseous, lower back pain, on and off abdominal cramping, metallic tastes, blur vision, food aversion, urinating frequently, spotting, I even ate pineapples to support implantation and all you name it only for AF to arrive 8 days after missed period!! smh.. I will be taking a break from TTC my body is still aching my mental and physical state needs to rest. That TWW is really exhausting and also heartbreaking.
