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?

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.

in a ECS, suspected placenta accreta, and of course IVF, to bring our little one home safe and well.

We paid for a full cycle (price includs 'embryotransfer') and did not transfer in the cycle, with a plan to repeat ECs until we have enough embryos banked. When we started talking to the clinic about the FET, we were presented with an additional fee for the FET as a single item on the price list.

Hi there, I was wondering if any of the incredibly knowledgeable members could help me as I’ve got myself into a bit of a hole. I’ll try to summarise my history as best I can, but I apologise as this is very long! My journey began almost 3 years ago when I went to my GP with classic symptoms of perimenopause

In 2019 I had Open Heart Surgery twice in the space of 11 days to fix an Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm. Spent a month in the cardiac unit and that's when I first developed Afib. Before that I actually had Bradycardia, strangely enough. I was put on a high dose of Amiodarone for the Afib. Got discharged

I asked about how long I should sit out post ablation tachycardia on Saturday and got lots of very kind replies and many asking for an update. So I did go to A&E and after three hours was admitted to the A&E ward. HR was 95 but trying to convert back to normal speed. Doc kept me in for observation to

Morning, from my sunny confines in a cardiac hospital bed in a large hospital in south London. It’s not sunny, bit grey and drab, but that’s not to say that the day is likely to perk up as I’m - hopefully - getting released at some point today. Day six this one, day one was arrhythmia topping out at

Hi all It’s been 9 months since I was diagnosed with Supraventricula Tachycardia (SVT) and associated ectopics (heart palpitations) and I thought it would be useful to list what has worked for me in understanding and managing the condition. Prior to diagnosis I was waking bolt upright with a racing

I’m currently in persistent AF and I took this ecg on my Apple Watch. Should I be worried about the big gaps?
