Hey everyone, I’m reaching out to hear about your experiences with going through IVF after having a c-section. It’s been a challenge for me and I could really use some insights, tips, or just to feel like I’m not alone in this journey. If you’ve been through something similar, please share your story or any advice you have. Your support means the world to me right now. Thank you in advance!
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss…lots and lots of love and hugs to you❤️
I’ve had 3 c-sections,and used IVF for the last one! It was a success and now we are done. There really wasn’t a difference that my Drs talked to me about.
I lost my first son in the NICU at 10 days old after he was born by C-section. It was a complete shock, as he was born at term after I went into labor naturally and expected to be healthy, but was born in distress and never really recovered. He was an unassisted pregnancy after multiple miscarriages.
Because of my history of miscarriages and social infertility (my son’s father and I split after he died) I moved straight to IVF with donor sperm. I got 4 euploids from 2 retrievals and my first transfer just spent the last several hours charming my coworkers at a Halloween event. He was born by repeat c-section with only minor complications (I technically hemorrhaged at birth but I didn’t even know til the OB told me after and recovery was easy and painless til my external incision got infected several weeks later.)
I’m currently debating if and when to do another transfer.
Good luck, and I’m very sorry for your loss.
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
My RE did make sure my c-section scar wouldn’t get in the way with anything before we even proceeded with an ER. My transfer went smoothly! At my first ultrasound, my RE did make sure baby did not implant on my c-section scar. Pregnancy was fine. Ended up having to deliver her early due to my water breaking, but my repeat c-section was the best it could have been.
My recovery was surprisingly pain free! My OB said everything went great as well.
I wish you luck with your future pregnancies!!
I’m currently pregnant with another IVF baby after the first one was delivered by a C-section. Nothing much has been different in this pregnancy, and my care team wasn’t concerned about the C-section at all
I’m so sorry for your loss! I have two IVF babies, both of them were born via c section and I’m currently very newly pregnant with my third IVF baby who will also be born via c section. I waited 17 months after the delivery of my first to transfer my second and 12 months after the delivery of my second to transfer my third. My clinic does a saline sonogram and mock transfer before transfer to make sure there are so issues from previous pregnancies and c sections.
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I too lost my first son Bryce who was full term. I had a c section to try to save him.
Bryce was conceived through IUI. After we tried for a year, 6 months after losing him we moved to IVF. I am currently feeding our IVF miracle of a son Emmett who is 11 weeks old born via c section. It is possible!
Message me with any questions! I wish you the best of luck!
I recommend doing acupuncture along your current c section scar. It improved the feeling and inflammation
So sorry for your earlier loss. Someone I know had a C-section baby and the second baby was also a C-section and IVF baby without any issues. Best wishes to you.
It was totally fine. Had two working on my 3rd. Unless you’re abnormally prone to scar tissue, there’s no need to be concerned. You got this!!
I was just told there is a wait time after a c section before they can do a transfer. Other than that I was told not to worry. All good wishes to you
I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby girl. I lost my son an hour after he was born via c-section. I did IVF after losing him and am currently 32 weeks pregnant with his baby brother.
I did 3 egg retrievals and it took me 3 transfers to get/stay pregnant again. I don’t think that had to do with the c-section at all as much as it was just odds. I had a hysteroscopy between transfers that didn’t show any abnormalities or scar tissue from the scar. I’m having a repeat c section in December and plan to try for one more via ivf when the time comes.
I can deeply relate to the feeling of losing hope and wanting a sibling for your daughter so badly. You will get there, don’t give up. This pregnancy has been challenging and full of fear after such a massive loss, but I hold on to the hope my angel is watching over and will bring us his sibling safely. Hugs
I don’t have anything to say but I am so sorry for your loss! I hope everything goes well with all future pregnancies 
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a C-section with my 3th and 4th IVF pregnancies and currently pregnant so 2 successful transfers post c-sections.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a c section and was definitely worried about scarring because I then had a number of back to back miscarriages. A hysteroscopy found no issue and eventually we got a euploid. She stuck right away and was carried to term without issue. I opted for another c section because I had very low risk tolerance after everything we had been through and it was actually a very positive experience.
I hope you get everything you want and need from this process!
So sorry for your loss. Absolutely devastating. I’m currently almost 35 weeks pregnant with my second IVF baby. First was born via c-section in 2022.
I am so so sorry for the loss. I had my son via C-section and then had scar tissue cause fluid in my lining. I had 3 failed transfers, did another ER (got 2 euploids). The next transfer was successful, I’m currently 13weeks pregnant. I’m wishing you all the baby dust!
Many many of my IVF friends have multiple c sections and have gone on to do IVF just fine after each time! Scar tissue remediation with a PT can help improve mobility and blood flow if that’s a concern.
I’m so so sorry for your loss 
I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter. Both of my IVF pregnancies were c sections due to breech presentations. Neither my ob nor my REI has any concerns. Sending you a big hug.
I’ve had two c-sections, both with IVF babies. Now onto my 3rd baby and we are scheduled for a 3rd c-section. Spaced them out 2yrs each time. No issues conceiving via IVF on all of them. Didn’t know it was an issue to begin with.
First of all, I am so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. Sending you so many hugs if you’d like them

My first transfer resulted in the birth of my son via c-section. When I was ready for a sibling cycle, we did a hysteroscopy to make sure my uterus looked okay. My 2nd transfer resulted in a chemical, but the embryo implanted which felt like a good sign. We did another transfer and that one also implanted and I’m now 36 weeks and scheduled for a repeat c section in 3 weeks!
