Experiences with

Electroconvulsive shock (ECS)

Hi Everyone, I was lucky to have a BFP after a FET (8th transfer, 8 ECs!) about 10 days ago, having early pregnancy scan on Thursday but have got myself into a tizz.

I just finished two ecs and three transfers at ivf Spain, one of which resulted in my son but the costs of going again including all the travel and accommodation are huge. Looking for somewhere closer to home. Any advice, good or bad experiences to share?

Hi all apologies in advance if this is a bit pointless but I’m on transfer number 4, day 7 and I’m pretty sure I’m out already. Feel like this one has made me more upset than usual, probably because I am losing hope which is unlike me. a bit of backstory - 3 EC’s - 1st no blasts. 2nd one 3 day transfer

I’ve got endometriosis and adenomyosis and unfortunately the ECs flared things to the point that I have pain a lot more than was normal before. I also got OHSS a few times and when our transfer failed… it kind of broke me in a way I honestly hadn’t expected.

Hi, Before I go any further, some background and the timeline of events. I'm a 66-yr-old male who has played tennis regularly since the age of 13. 2017 I went to A&E with what were later diagnosed as benign ectopic beats. Bloods and ECGs were fine, and I was discharged after 6 hours. The only "flag

Just graduated from C25K for the second time. A quick story behind this and how it probably saved my life 1st time around. - started c25k in 2020 lockdown, graduating for the 1st time in Sept 2020. - really enjoyed the running so kept going, regularly doing 3k, 5k and even 10k runs - noticed in late

Hi, last week I found out my bad cholesotral is very high after going to A&E with heart palpitations. I had an ecg and chest xray which came back normal but the blood test results showed I have very high bad cholestoral levels. I saw my gp who is referring me to a lipids clinic but it's a 3 month wait

So guy's I am probably not following some forum etiquette on another and for that I apologize. But I am a 39yr old guy and well my fitbit's ECG program just said I had an AFIB episode the other day, currently held out of work waiting on a stress test, echocardiogram and holter monitor because my doctor

Hi, I am 52, married to Ann with 2 (adult) children, Vanessa and Mason. I run my own company and until recently, have been a competitive bodybuilder. My younger brother, who was also my business partner, died in Jan 24 of a sudden cardiac arrest while out on his bike. He, like me was a fitness nut!

My wife has been permanently exhausted for 9 months (the most recent episode)…and barely able to get up for more than 15 minutes at a time. Getting dressed, washing hair is a real challenge. She is NOT depressed despite being ‘in bed’ for most of the day. NHS won’t formally diagnose ME, but after forthcoming

Hello, I felt palpitations this evening and did an ecg on my Apple Watch. It came back showing svt which I’ve had in the past and already take Verapamil for a fast heart rate. I’ve not had it for a while though and I’m wondering whether I should be letting anyone know I had this episode. It was only

I have lived with permanent AF for years. Inherited from Dad's side of the family I suspect. I'm 61 now and have not had a review with cardiology since 2019. For other reasons I got into a state in December and visited the GP. I was very stressed in the office and my pulse was high as was BP. So

As the hay fever season approaches, I asked my GP if there are any interactions between my medications and antihistamines. He returned to last year’s ECG which showed AF happening, and pointed out the prolonged QT interval and explained a bit more about what that means (I hadn’t understood it at all

I have been experiencing very high spikes with blood pressure leading me to A&E four times since last summer. They do bloods and ECG all fine then send me back to my surgery. My recent TSH test came back at 0.36 which indicates overactive thyroid whereas last test in February 2024 was 5.96 indicating

Hello everyone here I am again. I wrote a few months ago (Oct/Nov 2024) following an episode I felt was related to my flu vaccine & about how I’d taken Mg Taurate for an 8 week stint of AF. It took what I thought was 4 weeks to establish itself & just as I thought it was doing nothing I flipped back

Had low folate because of symptoms had chest xray clear then had ecg doctors never contacted me so assumed ecg was OK. Went to see gp last week two months after ecg as symptoms still.the same and he says your ecg I'm.going to refer you to cardiology I'm not happy with the middle bit ..what ??? Then get
