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.

I was diagnosed with AF and periods of supra-ventricular tachycardia (up to 220) last year. This was confirmed by my cardiologist. I was treated with verapamil after beta blockers were stopped due to asthma. I also let them know that I have had periods of bradycardia (down to 30) but they didn’t seem

Just had my appointment with the heart rhythm specialist and my ecg showed I'm having extra beats. The advice given was to see how I got on and take bisoprolol again if I feel I need it. I had an ablation 4mths ago and all seemed fine. Any one else experienced extra beats. 🙂

Hello everyone I hope everyone is well and getting support from this site which is a great help. I have recently been diagnosed with AFib after an irregular heartbeat picked up on an ECG, although I guess it is still very much early days on the diagnosis, as it was only a week ago. I see a lot on

In February I had an episode of chest pain radiating into neck and jaw followed by passing out. Blood works came back fine but had an ECG last week where they asked me if I was having chest pain in that moment otherwise I couldn't leave and said that the results were going back to GP as an urgent referral

Hi all, Some brief history: I had a stroke in July 2022, as a result of which I was diagnosed with AF and HF (EF 25-30%). Following the usual drugs, in March 2023 I had a successful cardioversion, which brought my EF up to a normal 63% (so no more HF). I was put on the waiting list for an ablation,

Hi, been on 100mcg levo for 12 weeks then endo tested me, normally they test me after 6-8 weeks but now gave me extra time to try to lose some weight too due to low testosterone which they think is more due to my fatty liver and lower SHBG rather than pituitary problem. Had tested FT3, FT4, TSH,

Hi, went to the GP last week as I had a chest pain incident about 3 weeks ago. On an easy walk, I had chest and then back (NOT SEVERE) pain, sweating and dizziness. It passed after I sat down for about 20mins. I just put it down as a weird incident but decided to see GP as I have been getting palpitations

Last April, after a few days of what I thought was a stomach bug, I started feeling some chest tightness whenever my heart rate went up. Being a typical stubborn guy, I figured it was just a chest infection coming on. After a couple of days, I decided to see the doctor because even a short walk at work

Sometimes it's not all bad. Having just posted one of my funny incidents*, another came to mind and I wondered whether others had funny stories around their A-fib. My other one was that in 2002 after my first ablation I was being really bothered by ectopics and I was actually booked in for another ablation

I haven’t seen a rheumatologist for 2 years. The last time I saw him he started me on metoject and said he wanted to see me again in 8 weeks. 3 months prior to this I was seen by the rheumatology nurse. She started asking me if I had had any miscarriages. I had 3 early ones and also had preeclampsia

Once a regular contributor in the early days of thyroid UK, I have hobbled along until now when my GP is passing me back to see endo over the usual suppressed tsh and wanting to reduce my dose. My history is I had a total thyroid removal in 2010 due to Graves' and had severe thyroid eye disease leading
