    Hi ILs

    I am looking forward for some information, so that everyone will be educated on this.My question are to those women who become pregnant through IVF/ICSI or any other ART procedures

    Did you be in bed rest through out till delivery?
    Did you have to take injections from day 1 till delivery?
    Did you have any side effects due to the injections thus taken?
    Did you have a normal or c-section?
    After delivery were you able to continue a normal life?
    How did you prepare yourself financially, physically and mentally for the hard journey?

    Thanks in advance for those who replies in patience to all my questions.

    yes.i delivered through ivf.

    1) no.i was very active till 8 months.infact,i even exercise a bit and did all housework.also,went to work.

    2) Nope.only thing was i went to the gynec almost every week to ensure i was fine.

    3)injections during ivf caused me to gain weight but i lost it coz i love working out an eating right.did it after delivery though.

    4)c section.this as nothing to do with normal conceiving or through ivf.

    5)ofcourse.more healthy than ever!

    6) i love insipring people in my own way.i wanted to show that i am quite a strong women and i am also god fearing.so faith helped.physically,i ate well and was phsyically active.

    Mine was IVF pregnancy. Minimal activities, not on bed rest. I had injections, but was less compared to fellow ivf people. Not much side effects in the last ivf. I had c-section. Life was back to normal after it. But still trying to loose the extra weight gained after delivery. Blame it on my body structure. One might need to be prepared in all those all along or start preparing on the way.

    Here you go. My TTC struggle went for 7 years and I conceived in my 4th cycle! I conceived once naturally but lost the pregnancy in early stages. If you read the above line you will think my answer is yes for most of these, but I didn't have to go through any of the below!

    1. No I was not on bed rest. I worked full time, to be very precise I went to work until my 39th week. I work in a stressful role in IT.
    2. I took injections until my beta HCG (Blood test to confirm pregnancy) and no injections after that.
    3. No side effects I can think of.
    4. C-Section as I did not get labour pain inspite of getting induced! Dr. Waited for 24 hours after inducing but, the labour did not progress at all.
    5.Yes, absolutely. I bathed my daughter in traditional way of sitting down and putting her in my legs from 12th day post delivery. I also gave her oil massage before bath
    6. I had absolute support from my spouse. We did not let any of the parents know about our tough journey, but they did know that we are on treatments. Mentally you have to be strong and the whole preparation is solely in your hands

    All the best and face the treatment with full confidence and you will sail through smoothly!
