I don’t understand!
On Friday jim was in the hospital for his 3 month internal stent replacement. Blood work all within normal range. It seems like in the last few months he was using the catheter less and less and doing so much better. No urinary tract infections any more., but a few days before the surgery he had terrible

Living with Crohn's over 30 years
I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 1985. I was about 16 years old and I had never heard of it before. Admitted to the hospital I was bleeding internally, had lost 30 pounds and was down to 104. I was not allowed to have food or water, Only through IV. This was a 3 month hospital stay. After I was sent

Planned C Section at 33 weeks, being told I can have Steroids but that the risks may outway the benefits
Hi hoping someone has had a similar experience. I had my 33 week scan and baby all good. Doctor mentioned that as they want me to have a c section at 37 weeks (due to my age, ivf baby, donor egg and other risk factors) I have an option to take corticoid steriods prior to the delivery but they aren’t

Am I feeling normal or is this a new normal?
I find it difficult to comprehend what I went through 4 months ago. I had a cesarean section complication under general aneastetic which ended in me heamoraging twice, losing 3.8 litres of blood, 7 blood transfusions while on the operating table to keep my blood up and an induced coma and ventilated

Radiation and Large Median Lobe
I went to my first Urologist appointment because of urinary problems. A DRE discovered a lump that was diagnosed as Gleason 7 (3+4). It was also discovered that I had a large median lobe that was likely the cause of my slow stream and urgency. There was a discussion between my Urologist (wanted to

Being Brave and Talking
Hello, firstly let me say how brave it is to openly speak about a very uncomfortable illness. Not only does it affect your body it affects your way of life, your personality and your mental health and it's exhausting because you can't see it from the outside! I have severe endometriosis and I have not

We have a c section date!
So surreal to think we now have her birthday date! Unless she decides she’s coming earlier 💗 Feeling very overwhelmed this last couple of weeks trying to get things done. To think that in 6wks she will be in our arms is absolutely crazy and so exciting. Over 8yrs of wanting to hold our baby it will

Can my baby be teething at ten weeks old?
My baby was born via c section & was 8.6lbs she had white buds on some of her top teeth when born. Now I have noticed she’s sucking her hands a lot and dribbling a lot more than usual. Is this a sign of teething?

“SENSITIVE” lovely news for those following my ivf journey over 40
I know I’m connected with a lot of women trying to make ivf happen and I just wanted to add some hope for those waiting for their little miracle, especially those over 40. Here’s mine. Alice Daisy, born 9th June at. 7lb 9 when I was 41 weeks plus two. Even the birth journey was hard. I went in for induction

VBAC after c section 9 months ago
Any experiences of VBAC? I had a baby 9 months ago and I am not pregnant again. The babies will be 16 months apart. I had an emergency c section after being induced. I'm really confused as to whether I should have VBAC or c section as the midwife said it was fine!

Is it too late for Triplet Therapy? (4 months on Elligard already.).
Switching to Dr. Dorff from old MO. First appointment on 12/28. Hoping to get Triplet Therapy that old MO basically said no to. That MO also dragged out any treatment beyond initial Elligard injection for two months waiting for a bone biopsy that she ultimately ignored the results of. Anyways, diagnosed

Pain after TURP
I underwent a TURP about 2 weeks ago. This was after having total urine retention, and subsequently living with a Foley catheter for 7 months. I had a Suprabupic catheter put in when under with the TURP, and lucky they did, as so far I still haven't any sort of normal urinary function. The question

*Sensitive* He’s finally here - but now we have to have him over to the surgeons 💔 UPDATED
UPDATE 3.6.22: I just wanted to say a massive thank you so much for all of the kind messages and words of support 🙏. Our beautiful boy survived 5.5 hours of open heart surgery on Wed. We we were told by the surgeons that “it went smoothly”, which was a huge relief. However, it is still very early days

Post 45 natural birth or c-section
Has anyone had a natural birth at 45 weeks or older? I am flip flopping between natural or c-section. I like the stressless safety that c-section offers my baby and the fact that it pretty much rules out an emergency c-section which I want to avoid at all costs… and then I think of the fact that natural

UTI’s
Hello, I have had 3 or 4 UTI’s since visiting Zagreb in May 2022. I had ‘retention’ of Approx 2000ml when a catheter was fitted. I have had a ‘TURP’ prostate operation in November 2022 and I am now trying to a) reduce the blood in my pee and b) the number of times in the day that I have to go. The Doctor

Help, please!
Hi, there! I am a first time mum and I am here after some advice about pumping colostrum before c-section. My midwife recommended to start but I cannot do it. I tried with a manual pump and with my hand, and nothing came out from my breasts. I really want to breastfeed my baby boy. Is that means that

Here to give some hope
My gorgeous baby boy was delivered via C-section last Monday. After 1 full round of IVF and 4 transfers, this man was our last embryo and wow are we happy he stuck! I never once managed to enjoy pregnancy as was so scared he wouldn’t make it, despite no signs whatsoever of trouble. I hope for everyone
